When the TOS gets in the way of calling out an idiotic opinion/statement.

People who don't do research and just bad mouth people or post things that are clearly wrong and fake.

The example right now is people are trash talking Kanye because "he refused to play a song since people in wheelchairs wouldn't stand up" no if you actually watch the video and read the article you will see that he told two people to stand up, after he realized they were in wheelchairs he said oh you're fine and started performing again.

******* that's an awkward moment lol

I agree that he shouldn't get all the flack he is getting since he did not know they were individuals who have disabilities....but...

Maybe he shouldnt be such a prick in stopping his performance demanding everyone stand up, and certainly shouldnt call out anyone not standing handicap or not. They paid their money, they can enjoy the show however they want as long as it does not affect how others enjoy the show.

I like Kanye, saw him live at UNC Wilmington a while back. The show startd waaaaay later than scheduled, then he stopped in the middle of performing because the person running the lights wasn't doing it "right". Threw a hissy, then went back to performing. No one in the crowd thought the lights were an issue, he drew attention to it. Had he just kept going everyone would have had a more enjoyable experience.

He needs to recognize that without these people buying his stuff and the people working his shows...he'd be nothing.

That's the internet world we live in now. Kanye is an easy target, but it's usually TMZ wannabe sites that have the bad headlines. Well them or Yahoo who is also a joke when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Ebay shipping, UPS, or whatever the reason I haven't gotten a package is yet.

My Brother in Law ordered a headset on ebay for himself and got it in 4 days, the next day he orders me the exact same headset from the same seller and its been over a week. At first it was scheduled to be delivered Friday, then it said today. Still didn't get it. Its been sitting at my local depot since the 13th according to the tracking so there is no reason why it shouldn't have gotten here today.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I ordered a new pair of cleats for ultimate frisbee. Got the CJ2k elite. So excited to uss them got here a week before my first tournament. Well someone decided to put a shoe box and one of those white shipping bags....so the box was utterly destroyed. No cosmetic damage to the cleats but I'm not risking any damage to the support in the shoes or anything.


It's gonna take 5-10 Business days until an investigation into what happened is complete.

****** people who abandon pets.

I'm not a big animal guy, but c'mon. Someone left this puppy tied up to a pole at a CVS near our apartment complex. My roommate saw her after work and told the cashier who said the poor dog had been out there all day. Apparently it was tied up so tightly it could barely move and almost choked itself.

So we decided to take her in until we can find a home.

Don't ******* adopt a pet if you can't take care of it.

That's your PSA announcement for the day.

What grinds my gears? People who think unassigned parking is their personal space, and store their vehicle. This car has been parked.in the same unassigned spot for over 10 days having never moved (which violates policy).

I didn't start the clock by taking photos of it until Monday, but I bet it will still be there come next Wednesday at which point I will be reporting it and hoping it gets towed.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Definite rant incoming:

This is probably due to social media and other outlets, but I feel like there's this growing 'narrative' that if you're a fan of a team(s), especially a championship winning team(s), you can't criticize said team or players on said team, whatsoever. It's like it's taboo or something.

Screw that.

I'm from the old school; we call it like it is. Too bad if you can't handle it.

I first noticed this awful trend back in the late 90's when my Bulls were going for their second 3-peat. A particular guy who played soft on those squads, was Toni Kukoc. But don't you dare say anything bad about him. It doesn't matter if he played swiss cheese D. People weren't having it. Yeah, okay.

I also have noticed it recently with the Blackhawks, and now it's starting to rear its ugly head with the Cubs. Some of these "fans" are like....don't you dare criticize Theo, or Castro, etc.

To these people, it's almost like it's a 'badge of honor' to blindly support and defend your squad, regardless of circumstance. As if they are "a better fan" than you.....lol. Damn, I can't stand that crap. And 9 times out of 10, it comes from one of these 'johnny-come-lately' "fans". Sort of like some Heat fans from the past few years(not anyone here). It's like they're trying to compensate for something because they know they weren't there in the beginning.

Honestly, it doesn't make you any "less of a fan" to properly critique a player or players on your beloved team(s). If fact, it makes you look more forthcoming and cultivated.

Thanks for reading.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

^And the exact opposite too. If you're a fan of a team who's not successful, it's like if you praise a player and stuff, people will be like "So what...it's not like he can turn the team into a championship team". Or a past great player on a team who never won a championship, people will be like "He wasn't even that good, how many championships did they win when he was with them?".

Agreed. I remember recently that Dan Marino was heavily criticized because he doesn't have any rings. Those dopes didn't realize that those Dolphins teams didn't have a legit defense. That guy basically carried them to the playoffs and Super Bowl.

I guess guys like Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Pat Ewing, etc....sucked too. Not that MJ had anything to do with it. LOL, unreal.
