People who seemingly have all the time in the world to troll forums and make what could be happy places toxic. There aren’t enough positive people with spare time to keep a forum active and attractive compared to how little time it takes to turn something into a cess pit.
Which ones do you use?
Steam and lemmy are my go-tos these days, probably thirty minutes a day. Yet I see the same people in every thread promoting negativity. (My block lists are in the hundreds for both sites, but once they finally incur the wrath of moderation they just make a new account)
Litter, when people are inconsiderate and unaware of their surroundings, and when people talk over/ interrupt.
People not taking the time to understand something that is explained to them.
This can apply to technology, mental health, etc. Drives me bonkers.
Example:
“I don’t get why my cats don’t like hanging out with us!”
“The cats are constantly picked up and dragged out of spots they go when they are stressed from all the noise. You forcing them to ‘cuddle’ and ‘bond’ with you is doing the opposite.”
— continues to do the same thing, stress out their cats, and complain about it —
Sea lions, dude.
You challenged him to a debate. Why wouldn’t he challenged it?
No, dude, i made a statement.
Low effort posts annoy me.

Being ignored and/or argued with about something that I have the credentials and experience to understand better than the person arguing with me. Especially if all they do is regurgitate what chatGPT or their favorite political figure said instead of their own thoughts and opinions. Look dude, you’re unarmed and I am giving you one chance to walk away before I violate the geneva conventions.
Pain. 10 years of constant pain and the inability to do anything about it while everything and everyone moves forward around me. The helplessness is annoyingly demeaning. Having no one capable of even a complete diagnosis of the problem. The imbeciles that do not understand the complexities of disability. The inability to tell someone what real pain is like. Right now I have shingles. People talk about this being painful. The inflammation makes my real pain a little worse, but the the skin stuff; I don’t even register that. Breaking ribs made me feel better. Breaking my scapula in 3 pieces was a minor nuisance of not lifting my arm for a few weeks. Real pain is WAY beyond these things. Real pain is when you can’t hear your inner voice over the white noise at all. When your only choice is to lay in bed and hope that next month will be better. It is not having slept more than 3-4 hours every day in the last 2 weeks. It is not having slept more than 5-6 hours per night in the best case in 10 years. It is being totally alone and watching the world crumble around you. That is what I find annoying.
Litter. Feels like a lot is people irresponsibly not securing the trash they’re hauling, but also a lot is people just purposely throwing it on the ground. Stop that you fools, you’re making the world worse for everyone. No one wants to see your beer cans and McDonald’s wrappers laying around.
Myself, my stupidity.
When I realize that something I spent quite some unnecessary effort on had a simple solution.
Actually just now I was playing around with Wireguard settings for an hour. Changing each setting to see if something would maybe help, searching forums, thinking about just giving up. Nothing worked.
I copied the wrong public key…Or yesterday…
My carrier has some contract with another carrier (with faster network speeds) only for extending coverage, not load balancing. In the end their towers get me 30-50Mbps while my carrier’s only 0.5-3Mbps.
My carrier only has towers in 1800MHz band, so that’s a way to tell I am connected to the other carrier. (It signs in natively now so it’s not possible to select that carrier manually like in the past)
To connect to it, my phone needs to loose signal on my carrier. Originally I just let it do that while travelling by bus and then staying on VPN 24/7 (TCP) as it wouldn’t kill existing connections to switch bands.
I was thinking about another wild way to fix this - 1800MHz band jammer. But that would be illegal.
Yesterday however I realized what kind of a dumbass I am. It only needs to loose signal for like 15 seconds. Faraday cage.
And indeed, I tried putting it into microwave oven (TURNED OFF) for a few seconds, and TaDa! 2100MHz. 0.8Mbps -> 35Mbps.Don’t be too hard on yourself. Those sound like honest mistakes anyone in your domain could have made.
At least you learned from it? Might happen again. Probably won’t.
I would like to solve the puzzle.
I’m sorry, the word was NAGGERS.
ATSC 3.0 having DRM that requires an internet connection. Defeats the point of over the air broadcasts if you need to be wired to the internet!
Literally everything.
My own inability to switch to a positive mindset and actually contribute to a solution, instead of being a pessimist.
People who don’t understand that the left lane is for passing and that you need to move over when you’re not passing.
It’s so frustrating to be driving behind someone who is going the same speed as the person next to them on a two-lane road.
Don’t worry. They’ll get over and then speed up so you’ll have to do 90 to pass them.
