What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?

Bicycle drivetrains keep getting more complex and expensive. A 3x9 drivetrain is beyond adequate, bulletproof, and inexpensive. But NooOoOoOooo, it's nearly impossible to get a quality bike with 3x9 now, without a full custom, DIY build. Everything has to be 1x11/12, which is expensive, touchy, and very particular, all while still lacking the gear range of 3x9.
It all seriously sticks in my craw.
Halleluja! I just want my Deore XT 3x9 back.

I love cars. I also love this planet. Cars are bad for the planet.
Moderation my guy. If everyone had a car they only drive on weekends or as a sport, there wouldn’t be an issue. So cars are not really the problem per se, it’s how we designed our world to revolve around moving in a car.

The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don't want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.
I'm still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I'm a gringo, I shouldn't have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.
I get a bit frustrated sometimes to see stars and think of the universe burning away it's entropy without anyone putting it to useful ends, like most of the universe going to waste before anyone can even reach it.

Yeah but that's justifiable (and existential).

How am I supposed to care about a series that takes 4 years between seasons

There are so many people who are fundamentally wrong about what the Fermi paradox means, and proceed to present their shower thoughts about "what if everyone just, like, decides not to colonize the universe" as if they were profound or novel insights.

Solar powered cars when?

wrote last edited by [email protected]I'm upset that there haven't been many Disney+ original movies this year. 2022 had a ton of them, they've really slowed down since the writer's strike
I'm also upset that Disney takes so long to announce when recent theatrical movies will be coming to Disney+. Thunderbolts is coming this Wednesday but they didn't announce it til like a week ago and I still don't know when Elio is coming.

Invasive species.
My region is absolutely infested with Siberian Elm and Tree Of Heaven (A.K.A., the “semen tree”). You cannot cut them down, because they will resprout like a hydra from the stump. You cannot dig them out, because the smallest root left behind can and will resprout wherever it is, leading to a many-year game of whack-a-mole.
I have near-daily fantasies of going around with a powerful backpack sprayer filled with glyphosate (Round-Up) and an application wand that can extend from 1m to 10m, and hitting everything just as they’re sending nutrients to the roots for winter.
The problem is, Glyphosate is highly restricted to purchase and own in Canada unless you have both the appropriate class of Pesticide Applicator’s License (an agricultural variant, for example) as well as the venue to use it in (own or manage an orchard, for example). Thankfully my family owns an orchard, and I am starting the process for the former.
But still. It’s an absolutely bizarre thing to be obsessing over and I. Just. Cannot. Help. Myself. Every time I drive and see clumps of those disgusting trees, I start to uncontrollably strategize how I could hit them with glyphosate in late September.

I'm still mad at Yahoo for killing xFire with a frivolous lawsuit.
xFire was better 20 years ago than Discord is today. We had a real gem stolen from us.

Get an EV. Get a garage charger. Put panels on your roof. The future is now!

I'm annoyed that I was born in the armpit of history. There are people alive who were alive when the Wright Brothers were. And we can see a shining future ahead of us. But we're stuck in the middle. Too late to be excited for all the progress of the first flight, moon landing, dawn of the internet. Too early for commercial space flight, nuclear fusion, full dive VR, true AI.
We can see those things in the future. It's being built now. But by the time it's fully available and normalized we'll either be dead or too old to care. If capitalism doesn't kill us all with climate change.
So yeah. Armpit of history. Shit sucks.

HBO never finished Carnivale.

The only show I ever liked enough for that was Venture Bros, and it was only that bad once.

You never know; we might be a car battery.

You sound like me, except for me it's Google Plus.

I hate the spotted lanternflies! When they're small and black and white they hop and scare me! When they're a bit bigger and red they're more scary! Then they get WINGS. Eurgh.
We also have the tree of life around which is what they enjoy munching on. I'd like both gone!
I found out all the ladybugs here are the invasive ones. And if I want to buy ladybugs for pest control, I can only buy the invasive ones. Annoying.
We do at least still have some native pollinators and other bugs.

I'm annoyed the tomatoes went from growing good to growing Very Sad
This is on me, and it is my first time planting and I mostly went "eeehhhh I think this is good"
I did my goal, which was get from seed to red tomato.
But now there's fungal infections, end rot, armyworm moths, splitting skin, and general sadness.
I did get enough to make salsa though.
I feel our ancestors spirits because I'm sure they felt the same way about farming.

My favorite ancient culture is only known by the pottery they left behind. There are so many unanswered questions!!!!
