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

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

    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.

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

    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 ability for human beings to advance scientific knowledge further than it currently exists.

    Something needs to protect the rest of the galaxy from us.

        LOL, the Amish Philosophy.

        Nothing so crude. I simply think it’s better for the universe if we don’t propagate it, because we’re not a good enough example for other species to follow yet. It’s not about respecting “God’s” law so much as acknowledging humanity’s limitations. We’re a pathetic species, not ready for rulership over multiple planets, let alone multiple solar systems. My comment simply suggests I don’t have confidence we ever will be. This has nothing to do with the Amish belief that we’re better in a simplistic state; just that the universe is better without us in whatever state.

          You include earth in that?

          I guess I’m wondering if you’d agree things would be better if humans didn’t exist.

            Largely, yeah. I think it would have been fine if we’d stayed in the Iron Age. Things started getting fucked up with the Industrial Revolution.

              Did you know that that painting was the reserve of the rich before the industrial revolution and the invention of synthetic pigments?

              Now we let toddlers play with paints at preschool.

    Green bell peppers. I hate the way they taste. Had someone tell me they don’t taste like anything. Ok then why even bother if there’s no taste?

    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.

    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 would like to abolish subscription fees for most items that really shouldn’t have subscription fees. If you bought the item, it should be yours. That’s the point of buying the item.

      I think if you buy something, and you modify it to provide subscription services without being subscribed, it should be legal.

      Example, that stupid Mercedes where they charge a fee for the heated seats. If you flash your own software on the car that allows heated seats, it should totally be legal to do so.

          Yeah, the crap car companies are pushing is dangerous. Imagine not being allowed to modify the software on your phone or computer. They are essentially arguing that.

    The inconsistency of apostrophe usage in English for possessives and contractions. If it was instead written…

    It-s a wonderful day out today, take your phone but turn off it’s data so you can soak up the clear blue skies.

    It’d be so much fucking easier and my OCD would be satiated.

      Granted, but no hyphen.

      Henceforth, possession shall be denoted with ` and contraction shall be denoted with '. Possessive plurals shall be denoted with ``.
