I've got a good one: threads that have overrated or underrated in the title. Food wise, just about nothing. The first thing that comes to mind is that Mexican "cheese" dip that they sell at the supermarket. There's crap in there that doesn't belong. Maybe a close second. Mexican restaurant cheese dip without jalapenos. Bleeaauuggghhhh. Also, living in an apartment complex. I saw someone say basketball and that triggers my basketball imitation: thump squeak thump thump thump squeak squeak squeak, squeak thump squeak thump thump thump. Also, there is one good thing about ice hockey: the fights. Fights aren't so good if that is the sport itself. Riffing on some things said previously: organized religious politics. I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights, I like traffic lights, except when they are red.

People who I knew 30 years ago and they confront me in public with the same stupied questions they asked 30 years ago. ....or they try desperately to connect you with something you surpassed or dismissed 30 years ago! It can be annoying and it causes me to develop a foul attitude with them. As an adult you should let it roll off your shoulders but....I look at it this way: I put no one on the spot in public out of ignorance and if I innocently do, I apologize. I've been married 4 times and sometimes I feel when I'm confronted about past relationships, I am being asked to review a person's history or bio. Someone should bring in a camera and film it. I would post the video tape for you so you could see just how pathetic it really is.
I remember meeting Ed King and saying....."I remember you in the Strawberry Alarm Clock". He snapped at me and yelled..."I don't want to talk about that!" Sometimes I wonder if I should cop that attitude? As I haven't because I don't personally want to lash out on every person who asks the wrong question about the touchy subject. I hate having to give direct eye contact with a person when I am busy thinking about a decision. I usually glance at my surroundings while I'm in deep thought. The person's immediate reaction is to roll their eyes and stare at what I am supposedly staring at and drawing a conculsion that I am either on drugs or have a mental problem. I am not in love with you so there is no need to look into your eyes to that extreme. It's like a macho thing. I listen to people all the time giving explanations regarding their craft in life. When I try to give an honest answer to their question, I am cut off and they answer the question which is usually the wrong answer, however I let it go just to avoid conflict. What a joke! I should have been an actor.

Many people have already listed consumerism/advertising/commercialism, and religion. Those are the big ones for me as well. I hate practically all corporations except for a small few. It's not so much the corporations themselves that I have a problem with, it's the idea of a blindly profit driven system that really bothers me. Modern corporations tend to be willing participants. I hate nationalism, national identity, identity/labeling in general, the medicalization of every aspect of the human condition/society, and potato salad. I absolutely loathe facebook, and people who think they know what is best for everyone else. |

^ ^ I don't get wet socks often but then the shoes are wet as well unless you have something weird going on you'd like to share. Cauliflower all depends on what you do to it. I suspect you'd prefer to toss it out. They have been installing all the freeway onramp traffic lights that do nothing but back up the traffic on the side streets. Knowing this state, someone with connections is making a lot of money at it. And on a related note, the speed bumps in this apartment complex although there is one freebie that apparently disintedgrated, although they do serve to slow down the maniac drivers. So I'd have to say that I am only single really not into them. |

I like how so many of our lists are similar. We may not be able to agree on whether or not Yes or Genesis is better, but we are united by hate. <3 Everything on my list has pretty much been covered. I could complain about any number of things, but I think this thread is getting off-topic from its original intent, which seems to have been "activities/media/food you dislike" but we're drifting towards "general things that annoy me/I consider evil". You can't be "not into" corporations, greedy people, pregnancy tests, and disease.
It's usually misleading and best and outright false at worst. The media's inability/unwillingness to coherently report on science issues causes a lot of problems in society. Besides the "X is good for you! Y is bad for you! Gorge yourself on X and avoid Y at all costs! Wait, it's been 6 months and there's been a new small study on mice, it's actually the other way around!", the real damage comes from giving any legitimacy to the idiotic anti-vaxxers, AGW deniers, and any other pseudoscience that has caught public attention, in attempt to appear "fair".
Few people have the courage to take a bold stance against genocide and child torture, bravo. I'm glad that you qualified only child torture, though. Otherwise I might feel bad for all the adults I'm planning to torture (PHIL COLLINS YOUR NUMBER IS UP). ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

Sometimes reading those articles you can almost envision the "journalist" interviewing the scientist, taking notes, and struggling mightily to figure out what the hell the other person is talking about. Obviously my favorite are articles about new DoD radar systems, the explanations of their capabilities are laughably bad, but at least there I wouldn't necessarily expect a layman to know the relevant physics. What irks me is just basic misunderstanding about the scientific method, or engaging in post hoc fallacies, or as already stated gross misuse of statistics. |

First off my main issue is that it's bad writing. Just boring, pointless writing. It often focuses on the human aspects of the story to make up for the authors complete inability to report on something effectively. Secondly, propagating false information is bad. Misleading information is just as bad as false information. It also skews public opinion about what scientists do, why they do it, and why they should and shouldn't care. Thirdly, they often over popularize. In an attempt to make the ideas more and more understandable, they often completely degrade the actual significance of the result. A lot of time this just shows lazy journalism in that they're unable to express the idea so just abandon it and make up what they find to be the most important detail of a discovery, or they just never researched it well enough to know in the first place. Lot's of writing about the solution to Poincare's Conjecture did this.

How so? Advertising can be good, if honest, but I find that very hard to come by. Most advertising has the goal of getting people to want a product. Sometimes they need that product, a lot of times not. Rarely is there just advertising with the goal of accurately depicting the product's flaws and positives and not trying to spin it. Adults should have some sense of caution when taking the word of advertisements for what they say they are, but that doesn't mean I should believe ads are good if their main goal is to get people to buy a product, often through omission that the product has any number of faults. But I wonder how anyone not profiting from the sale of products marketed to children on television can say that is a good thing. Especially when it comes to completely unhealthy food products with childrens' pop culture icons hocking junk food. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Advertising imparts information to the consumer. I receive about 5 emails a day with very helpful advertising. Often tv advertising helps me discover a product I would know nothing about otherwise. If you're stupid enough to buy something you don't need just because you saw it appear on tv, then you should probably be shot. Most criticism of advertising doesn't really make sense. It assumes that consumers are mindlessly buying things just because they've heard of it. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall.

People that don't immediately get going at a turn light so you end up getting stuck. Also people who can't use a cell phone and drive properly at the same time.

And of any advertising geared toward people that cannot physically avoid being influenced by it, such as children? Is all kinds of advertising during commercials of kids shows just fine and dandy, regardless of content? ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Do parents strap them to chairs and make them watch it? Aren't parents responsible somewhat? And yes it is. First off kids can't buy things. Secondly, no study I've ever read has shown that advertising has the power to make someone purchase something that they don't want. It delivers information to a party. That party already has an interest in the product if they're purchasing it. Have you ever bought something you don't like because you saw a commercial? People like to blame advertising for the country's massive consumerism, something which I am against. That's absurd. Massive consumption is a part of the culture. We have advertising because of our consumerism. Advertising doesn't bring this about. It's a case of reversed causality. I love advertising. It's a great benefit towards consumers. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

The V-strings feel like you're wearing nothing at all. I love them. Bras are a dream too. I go from a weak A to a solid B. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Parents are very much responsible, but I will never believe they're the only ones responsible, as the FDA and advertising giants have promoted. And it is very hard for parents to shield their kids from negative influences like that. They would not be able to take them down most aisles of the store and they would have to drag them out of the room every time the commercials play for a TV show of their. Unless they're not allowed to watch TV. Good for them, I say, but that's hardly an option nowadays with both parents having to work a lot of the time. They can't control everything their kids are exposed to, so how unreasonable is it to demand some sort of responsibility from corporations in controlling advertising that will likely reach people unable to think critically about it. Especially when it is designed to take advantage of it. And even more still when you consider the drastically rising rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes in children. Even if you say that the purchasing power is in the parent's hands, the reality of the world is that many of them are too tired or ignorant to care. Which is the easiest way to tackle the problem: revamp our workforce and somehow make parents have more time to actively monitor their kids and also become more educated about nutrition and advertising toward children, or require stricter regulations for products aimed at children? It is seriously hard for me to believe you don't think that is a negative thing. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

one of my friends a couple of years back was into this stuff and installed a giant Sub in the back of his car for playing bass music. 5 minutes after he had installed it he turned up the volume full and it blew the back door off of his car. one of the funniest things i've ever seen, he's been more into classic rock since then...-------------

I'm not into gardening. Or horticulture/ agriculture. Vegetables. Boring. Sport. I'm not into modern spirituality, new age, life coaching and self-help stuff. I do not own a TV. I dislike modern hype, fashion in general, false 'celebrities'. I do not like the path of consumerism the Internet (and computer science in general) is taking. I want my programs to do the stuff I want, without any extra help, suggestions or advertisements. ------------- |
