Are you telling me that these five simple life-hacks that everyone should know are LIES?!I remember when they were called "tips" and not "hacks."
Pet Peeve rants.

I admit, this made me laugh out loud. I hate that.[DOUBLEPOST=1417330276,1417330245][/DOUBLEPOST]Not laughing. I like laughing.I remember when they were called "tips" and not "hacks."
I hate calling 'tips' 'hacks'.
Three things, one the fact that I feel guilty about complaining in my current age. When I was a teenager I'd rant all the time about random crap, now I second guess everything I do. I'm trying to get out of that habit, as when I was in my ranting phase I remember myself being EXORBITANTLY happier. I hate holding it in, and I am going to try being more expressive with my kvetchings because DAMMIT I love expressing my anger.
Second thing, whenever I vacation with my family they just sit in the hotel/B&B most of the time until dinner. If it is some boring suck-hole vacation I'm cool, but New York? COME ON! Even in the winter there is just SO much to do, plus since a good chunk of New Yorkers go on vacation this time of year the city was marginally less crowded so walking through it was a breeze. Yes it was nice being alone as solitude is great, but I would still be happy to have someone to enjoy it with.
Third thing,when people keep looking at their stupid fucking phones when they are in a social activity like Mario Party. Mario Party sucks enough without me having to wait five fucking minutes for this jack ass to hit the mother fucking A button! Your on vacation douchebag, whatever text you got can wait until you get out of this social contract you have signed the moment your 3DS hit download play.

This reads like parody and is priceless because it isn't
Nope, just a good old silly rant and I'm glad my anger made you smile.
That's why I always get fully naked before I poo in public stalls.

News stories that don't properly cite where the story took place. Identify what state / country/ province / whatever your story takes place in. The "www" in your site's address stands for world wide web, people can read your news report from anywhere, please identify where you are. Also, if the only identification of where your news station is located is the town you've got weather for on your front page, you have failed at web design. Your About page and FAQ should tell people about the company that owns and operates the website.
Or you could move to Spain.
No news on the Internet there!
(well, no news that isn't first-party sourced)
My pet peeve: People who enact Internet-related laws expecting them to apply to the entire Internet. ("right to be forgotten," the above mentioned news laws in Spain, etc)

I have to tell you: as a person who does research in signal processing and compression, audiophilia drives me bonkers. Reading articles by audiophiles must be what it's like for an astrophysicist to watch ancient aliens or an engineer to watch ghost hunting shows. There are plausible-sounding explanations given, but they just don't pass the math and the physics.
Gamergate has nothing on the audiophile press. Otherwise crap like the LessLoss Blackbody or $6000 speaker cables would not exist.

Welcome to my wonderful world of reading layperson explanations on how they think GMO's and vaccines are dangerous.

I mean, all their problems DO have chemicals at their root. Because without chemicals they wouldn't exist at all... which would mean no problems.
I still listen to mp3s. Are they going to burn me at the stake?Audiophools now saying one hard drive sounds better than another when playing back digital music files.

Probably not, so long as the mp3s are 320kbps.
I have a friend who sells essential oils and touts them as a remedy better for you than medications because they're natural. She's got a degree in microbiology. That hurts my head.
Oh fun fact! If you were close enough to a super duper powerful magnet (like say a magnatar neutron star), all the electrons that make up your body would be stripped from their atoms, ceasing all molecular and chemical function and you'd end up as a pile of goo!

Would the goo retain its original varied colors, or would it turn a uniform grey/brown sludge?
A modern day koan, nice
One would wonder whether the concept of "color" would be relevant when you're that close to a body of that density.

That just sounds like Despicable Me rule 34.
So you attack a guy 40 years dead for what he wrote nearly 80 years ago for not meeting the expectations of 2015 society.
Boo fucking hoo.
That's a lazy argument. You're attacking someone with no opportunity to defend themselves or their work. Because they're DEAD.
(But that won't stop tumblr from rallying around that particular SJW banner.)
