    Casual fossil fuel use. Not work related shit, but asking me to drive an hour to you to chat because you won’t learn discord is demoralizing. I know that it’s not a big source of CO2, but it adds up and the same people who do it also throw food out, don’t fix anything and don’t demand more action from their politicians. They RP as revolutionaries, but don’t do anything.

    I loudly judge people for things that I think are morally wrong, but I would feel quite bad if I voiced some of my other opinions. Yesterday one of my friends complained about someone coming through the McDonalds drive through and ordering too many chicken nuggets. They said that person had “no respect for how they made the employees feel”. It’s like… come on man. They just wanted some nuggies. Surely you can muster the immense strength of will required to cook a few extra?

    Spelling errors on professional documents, especially signs/posters/ads. You don’t have to know everything, but you have to check before putting it up.

    When I see restaurant specials boards riddled with mistakes it makes me want to not eat there.

    Here’s something positive: precisely mentioning what they tried on a problem already!

    If someone’s stuck on a problem and defines what help they need, then I have no thoughts either way. It’s just a problem, and something to be helped through. Neutral.

    But if they describe what they did already, then I think “Wow, this person really put in some I-don’t-give-up effort! Nice work, bro!”

    Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people just throwing trash out their car windows. It’s become disturbingly common and I really want to scream at the that the world is not their trashcan. I don’t, because I really think I would get shot.

    Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it’s a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn’t just lying. It’s making someone belive that they can’t trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

    Saying that they could care less when they mean they couldn’t care less.

    Like, of course anyone can care less than they currently do.

    Putting the dollar sign after the number. Yes, that is how it is read, but not how it is written. “Five dollars” is $5, not 5$.

    People who make small talk with the cashier or service person when there is a line and people who accelerate in the turn lane.

    ‘It has chemicals in it’

    This use of ‘chemicals’ as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they’re parroting some scaremongering tiktok.

      I had this talk with a member of my family. Water is a chemical, salt is a chemical. Just because you don’t immediately know what it is, doesn’t mean its bad.

        I’m sure they know, but maybe this is word drift or shorthand for “harmful chemicals”. That’s a lot more plausible than literally turning “literally” into its opposite

          It’s more of a lack of understanding of chemistry, this chemical compound contains something harmful in another form, but it is completely harmless in the form that it takes in this food or vaccine, etc.
