What (besides politics) irritates you?

Sorry, that wtf was improperly mixed with your name

I was wtf'ing at aic's ground beef out of the package comment, and at the same time beginning my thoughts on raw burger centers.

I need to sleep more before antsing.

Rare steak and rare burger are completely different. Bacteria lives on the outside of meat... when the meat is ground, the outside is inside and all the fuck over the place.

Lately the Trivago commercial with the guy trying the shave and put on his belt at the same time. Does Trivago think people are stupid? Yes, sometimes it's hard to do two things at once, but who in the hell tries to shave and put on a belt at the same time. Commercial is so fucking stupid.

[socopithy]

So is that a good or bad thing for a rare middle of a burger?

But if you're just going to stand off in the distance/behind me and grumble to yourself about it, bite me, I'm waiting for my fizz to die down for the 8th time.

Yeah, it irritates me when the soda happens to be extra fizzy and it's like 60% soda, 40% fizz, so you keep having to wait so you can try to top off.

This. I always get a burger medium well for this reason.

Adult, elected officials who use "snow" or "it's cold out today" to refute global warming.

Can't we have an automatic unelect process in case it turns out people in gov't are actually complete morons?

Bad. Very bad if ecoli is present. Ecoli can be killed if your burger is cooked to a proper temp (I think it's 150?)... And that's b/c the surface of the meat is no longer 'the surface of the meat'.

[aicdmb]

Inlaws cook everything rare as fuck
First time I went for dinner, said "Great, I can do burgers"
They come inside looking all good.....take a bite and all see is red, and meat is cold
Right in grandma Memma's fucking napkins for that burger

not to start a whole political thing, but I never got why NON politicians are against global warming existing. it has to be just general distrust of scientists, right?

I think I would have remembered memma

Well, yea. If you're going to cook all moisture and flavor out of it, you're probably going to need to put some sort of condiment on it.

I heard about the senate snowball from Seth MacFarlane on Twitter actually.

"Look, there's snow outside here. Global warming is a lie!"

I think so... smart people always look like a giant conspiracy to stupid people. But to be fair, certain hysterical climate change people make it a lot easier to throw out the whole notion as well.

Jesus yes

Jesus yes

I guess. I mean a lot of people I know are ADAMANT that climate change is fake. I think it's a combo of hating scientists and hating hippies

politicians I get, cause they have oil / gas to appease. regular people don't

[socopithy]

I thankfully know zero people who say global warming is a conspiracy.

I know a couple who think it's overblown, but that's okay.

Well politicians have to appease their voting blocks too; a Republican who's thinks global warming is a thing might not be "one of us" in the redder states.

yeah same here

[Cscottrun]

I've been bothered by this for a while, but it really started getting under my skin this weekend.

People who, know matter what, always find something wrong with the restaurant we are at. Or people who always have a reason to not go to a restaurant that is suggested.

Also, people that never drive, or always assume I am driving.

[Cscottrun]

I actually have a few more, so let me vent. These are all based on family and friends.

People who complain they don't have enough money/ask me to borrow money and then expect me to empathize with them even though they call out sick once every other week for dumb reasons...i.e. being hungover.

90% of state/local gov't employees, and unions as a whole. Sorry if I offended anyone here.

People who curse when young children are around.

You're still in law school, right? I have a ton of friends like that. "Oh we're going to that place for drinks?" So fucking snooty. Also, I always prefer to drive because I'm confident in my ability to regulate my alcohol intake and know when to cut myself off, whereas many of my friends I don't trust with such decision-making.

[cazzie34]

My brother-in-law believes global warming is a conspiracy. He believes that scientists are just stating that global warming is real and a problem because that is where the $ comes from. According to him, at this point global warming advocates have become like a religion for people and nothing will sway them.

Today he posted an article about how the great lakes are over 80% frozen for the second consecutive year; the first time this has happened since the 1970s. He then stated that "we are warming ourselves into an ice-age!"

[smokew11]

did someone try to say rare burgers and rare steak is the same thing?

i always go medium for steak, and usually go med or med well for burgers. I really like medium better though

Yes, I am. With law school comes the people who were raised by lawyers, and have been sheltered their whole life, and don't know any better. But that's not an excuse as far as I'm concerned. I.e., "I don't go to chain restaurants."

As far as the driving thing, I do usually drive, but I like for people to at least offer it up first. Especially when we are going to be drinking/driving in bad weather. I tend to drive under those conditions, but at least make an offer to drive. I'll probably turn you down, but at least respectfully offer.

A pefect example: Group text chat.

A: Let's do something tonight. Lets go to [insert bar].
B: Sounds good.
Me: Sure. What time.
A: How's 10?
B and Me: Ok

And then silence until people realize I'm not volunteering to drive. Then the "how are we going to get there" texts start. Another friend of mine who drives as often as me, now simply says, "I'll meet you guys there."

the whole "it snowed so much, global warming is a joke" argument is hilarious. yeah, the snow has NOTHING to do with extra evaporation

It's probably our only hope for a Congressional snowball fight though, so there's that

I think it has a lot to do with the perception of intellectuals by those who are not what you would call "books smart." There's that perception by the "under-educated" that those in academia (intellectuals/scientists) are "uppity" and look down upon those who are under-educated. While this is often true, it creates a level of distrust between the two groups. This is why you get the people who talk about "having sense" as opposed to a formal, academic education. I think that honestly has a lot to do with why people distrust climate change.

The best part about this argument is that it is basically saying that gas/oil/whatever companies don't give away millions and millions in lobbying and "gifts" to people in gov't.

If I was a completely soulless person who just wanted money, I think I'd side with big oil over big solar panels
