This may or may not be inspired by the nebula original abolish everything, a show I have not watched.

    Regional locks.

    Why the fuck can’t I watch first 2 seasons and last 2 seasons of an anime on crunychroll sony? Why the fuck can’t I register your accounts to my country sony? Why the fuck can’t I buy your games on steam in my country sony? Why the fuck can’t I listen to your music on my streaming subscription, sony?

    There is no reason for this shit to exist.

    Is it by magical means? Then name calling, mostly to watch Trump deal with it.

    Digital billboards. That degree of rapid pace advertising is toxic, also those fuckers are bright AF.

      I would extent this to billboards in general. Its annoying and nonsensical to advertise private products in public spaces

    No more internet gaming, all multiplayer gaming must be local, so that you can actually get your dumb ass up from the chair and punch (or be punched) by others, like our ancestors intended.

    People saying “blog” when they mean post. You did not write a new blog on your blog, you wrote a new post on your blog.

    You do not drive your car on the car. You drive your car on the road.

    The 9/10 extension on gasoline pricing.

    When this fuel was 13¢ per gallon, sure some folks might want to compete with finer-grained pricing.

    It’s time to drop that pretense

    The now ultra-common usage of “whenever”, when they actually mean “when”.

    I can’t fucking stand it. But it’s everywhere now. I have no idea how it got so common but I’m surrounded by people who use it incorrectly.

      I wonder if I’m using it incorrectly now.

      We can go to the cinema whenever you like.

      That is how I would use it. And I would use when like, when did you go to the cinema?

        You’ve used it correctly! An incorrect usage would be:

        “Whenever I go to the cinema, I get popcorn.”

          Huh…

          I would use that too, so I decided to search it up and this is what I found.

          When is used for a specific time or single occurrences.

          Whenever is used for repeated events or entries with uncertain dates or times.

          So your example seems like it should be whenever, as it’s not talking about a specific time but more every time they go.

            You’re correct that it’s not grammatically wrong, but a subtle semantic mis-match. Let’s bring in the difference between “every time” and “whenever”. While “when” and “every time” are interchangeable, “whenever” and “every time” are not. “Every time” is exact and without fail, while “whenever” implies unpredictability or indifference to the exact location.

            “When (strongly implied every time) I go to the theater (exact location), I get popcorn.”

            “Every time (explicitly) I go to the theater (exact location), I get popcorn.”

            “Whenever (unpredictable, indifferent) I go to the theater (exact location -mismatch with unpredictability) I get popcorn”

            Does that make sense?

    Ban streaming services from advertising they have something on their platform and when you go to it, you realize you need to pay for an add-on subscription.

      I am currently stealing Amazon streaming from my neighbor, who let me use it. It’s full of ads now.

      Can’t even watch Invincible without 8 minutes of ads.

      Easier to just pirate.

    The word ‘literally’.

    It’s been abused and needs to now just die.

    Additionally, anyone uttering that word must be slapped by everyone who hears it.
