You know what really grinds my gears?

Reminds me of the History Channel at times.

I have 13 bucks in my bank account until Friday so no, not everyone can just afford to go out and get a headlight bulb.

Believe it or not, people really do live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford "simple luxuries".

I suppose I wouldn't mind the occasional off-topic show, and certainly every show doesn't have to be about travel directly, but they literally have no travel programming whatsoever any more. They don't even have any shows that are peripherally about travel, even if by accident (!). The problem with that strategy is that it's fool's gold. MTV had short-term success with things like 'Jersey Shore' and whatever else, but once they completely abandoned music programming their cache as a network is basically now zero. I haven't turned my TV to that station in decades. I realize I'm out of the target demo, but there's no reason to ever even look at what's on over there (even as music videos for background music). Travel Channel is now in that category, unfortunately.

Clearly the paranormal hunters are traveling to other planes of existence

People don't care about nuance. They don't care about little details. All people seem to care about is generalizations.

Everything has to be black and white, and nobody likes to discuss or talk about anything unique or interesting. I ask someone why they like pork and they'll just tell me "idk i just like it". No detail or emotion.

Also hate how society looks down on people who express emotion and use that as an excuse to portray them as out of control or childish.

What's the point of living life like that?

I had an ex like this. For example, she is a vegan. Me, I’m going to eat whatever I enjoy. But I would try to get a better understanding sometimes of why she is a vegan. We would be talking about something like fish and she would tell me fish is bad for you. I’d ask her why and her response would be, “because it is”. Then I would have to ask her 2-3 more times in different ways why is fish bad for you before she talks about mercury blah blah blah...

People just want to have opinions and say ridiculous things and then get mad/annoyed when they get questioned on it.

It's kinda weird to me but whatever.

everyone should have a passion. even if its just their work. there's a difference in living and existing. its a sad life that just exists.
