I thought it was going to be a love story that explained how pigs in a blanket were created. Sad sigh.
The OUTRAGE! Thread
- Thread starter UnfrozenCatfanLawyer
- Start date
I’d like to be able to buy a PS5 at MSRP. That’s really got me pissed.
I’m still f#cking pissed that Tubby let Saul play for four years, tbh.
We need an Outrage Commission to determine whether someone’s claimed outrage is reasonable. That way, we won’t have “outrage” threads that distract us from the real important discussions that take place in this forum (boobies, beer, Netflix, pot, wrasl’n, video games, etc.). The Commission can also declare things as “outrage” even if that is not how they are presented. I think politically left people should make up this new regulatory body, as they seem to know “outrage” when they see it and are good at censoring those with whom they disagree.
No, no, no a 1000 times NO! There are plenty of tissue thin skinned right wingers ready to fly off the handle at any number of stupid topics of interest to only the furthest netherlands of the internet.
Failure to create a bi-partisan Outrage Committee, and include anything less than a cross section of the entire political spectrum would be, dare I say it, outrageous!!!
Just so long as we make sure the liberals can repeatedly demonstrate their outrage of the Orange Man, Fox News, Christians, Police, Tucker Carlson, conservative posters, conservative posts, Ben Shapiro, etc.
I'm outraged when I buy gas. Let's go Brandon!
Considering how I act watching teens play basketball and football, I’m afraid I have no standing to weigh in on outrage.
When they run the thoroughbred meet at Los Alamitos during the day you can play the Pick 4 for $.50 but when they run the combined quarterhorse/thoroughbred meet at night, you have to play it for $1. Well sometimes you're just drunk and want to play the announcer ticket but you don't want to play for $50 but would for $25. What about me? We need to get this changed!!! We need to form a committee!!!
Did he say AN M&M or THE Eminem?
Well it's been 40 years since the last one I saw at my friend's church, so maybe it's just a reenactment.
People that don't waive to stay thanks when you stop and let them merge into traffic ahead of you. Seems like it's just about everybody these days.
All junior high kids want to shoot nothing but threes. It is outrageous because they can't make them yet. There are exceptions. Start coaching them to go in and score and if they get stronger then they can start shooting threes.
I get outraged when my ball is teed in the ground and I am taking practice swings on the first tee of a golf course with my 4some, and some ranger pulls up and asks me if we checked in at the clubhouse.
No bud, we just pulled in here, put our bags on 2 carts, drove out to the driving range, and then went to the first tee and decided we were next. grrr maximum.

One that legitimately makes me mad is how hard it is to delete a show from your continue watching on some of these streaming services. Hulu is the only one that's as easy as it should be. The worst is when you get a show on there that is still going on that you don't want. Even if you get it deleted, it comes right back the next time there is a new episode.
People that turn left right in front of oncoming traffic.
Here is a helpful driving tip: Green light only means you have the option of turning if the traffic is clear, but you don't have what is commonly referred to as the "right of way". Always look for that little green arrow pointing left first, before you almost kill someone or get yourself killed by someone who assumes you will obey the law.
Thank you.

Same with “right on red.” When the car with the true right-of-way is motoring toward the intersection, yield and don’t turn right in front of it.
Let me rant, if I might, about the ridiculous notion of NFT's and virtual property.
Let us start with NFT's.
I have a MS Paint picture. I run it through an algorithm. It's now an NFT. What is an NFT? It's an algorithm that gives the illusion of a virtual item's uniqueness. Except, here is the problem...it's not unique. It's just a copy of a file and a copy of the thing that declares it unique. It therefore is not unique, it's an algorithm. It's a scam. It's not even a baseball card scam of the 90's. It's worse. I can get an exact copy of an NFT item using copy and paste. I cannot simply copy a Ken Griffey Junior Upper Deck rookie card.
Now, there is value in blockchain technology and smart contracts. This is not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about buying into the ridiculous idea that item A, being exactly like item B, is any different than Item A.
Now, let me rant about virtual property in the metaverse. Let us imagine a beautiful place next to a mountain in the real world. In this scenario, there is a finite amount of property around this mountain. Therefore, we have a limited supply. It's a desirable place to live so cost naturally goes up.
Now, let's imagine this same scenario in the virtual world. That mountain is not real and creating a second mountain is the cost of a few gigabytes and button clicks. The beauty of technology is that it can easily scale. Yet, there are now documented cases of people paying 6 figures for prime virtual real estate. Let. that. sink. in. It's not even a case of convenience. In the virtual world, one could go to Hong Kong in the click of the button. Where you live is not a factor in accessibility.
What people are paying for is exclusivity and the perceived notion that they are getting in "early" under the presumption of future value. However, in order for such value to be realized in the future, it would mean software companies must introduce artificial constraints in a virtual world that increase value. Yet, as already stated, software can easily scale. It's a backwards notion that we would want technology to become more exclusive & more constrained. The beauty of computers is that I can go to Hong Kong virtually in a few clicks... if I have to do more, it's bad software.

Questions from my seat of ignorance.
If someone wants to pay six figures for a virtual plot in the ever expanding virtual world, why should I care? Now, I would prefer people throw their money away in the direction of people who have real needs, but how does buying some zeros and ones impact me? Does it?
Why care about anything though?
I care for two reasons.
One, I don't think the software companies pedaling this stuff should be supported financially. I do not like the potential trend of creating artificial constraints for the sole purpose of increasing value. We are putting obstacles in the way of people getting information and I don't like that. While they are pitching this as the "future of software", it's actually a step backwards in many ways.
Where I also have issue is that gullible people are falling for it and spending a lot of money on things like virtual land. Many times, they can't afford land in the real world, so they are spending a few hundred on virtual land under presumption they are getting in early. People definitely can make money on NFT's and this virtual land concept, but vast majority are going to be stuck holding the bag. Should anyone care? I don't know. But I've talked to a whole lot of people who believe it's the future. I'm not buying it.
That helps me understand. I don’t like seeing people defrauded and I don’t prefer arbitrary artificial limits to create a market. I cannot see any reason I would be interested in buying virtual property, as I cannot keep up with the events of my real world.
Can we just get a hot dog bun that doesn’t break apart before you can take a bite of it?
Two of the absolute worst years for movies in my entire life. In both years there might be half a dozen films that are worth watching, and to top it all off, 2015 saw the beginning of the character assassinations of all of the original Star Wars heroes.

That's because a lot of people have fake virtual wealth in crypto currency with nothing to spend it on.
I am beyond PO'ed that for the THIRD (3!!!) time this week, I have had to put on a suit and tie and attend hearings, go to client's offices, and appear at a lending institution for a loan closing. Dammit man, I am used to sweatpants and T shirts, a man can only take so much before he explodes.

Outraged at the number of mothertouchers who will leave a restroom without washing their hands.
Outraged at the number of people who won't pick up after their dog when it takes a dump.
Outraged at people who will throw their trash on the ground when there's a trash can a few feet away.

Never get me started on the Ohio Navy. Those loons invade Bluegrass between April-October with their big-*** boats hauling *** down I-75. Worst drivers on Planet Earth bar none.
I never wash my hands after I pee or poop. Once peed on my hands and shook another man's hand. I really don't care
