Taking advantage of people in weaker positions of power, from being rude to a waiter to abusing a disabled person. They all make me dislike the person immediately and will likely cut them out of my life as soon as possible.

When they say they are Republican. Or touch on Republican talking points promoting hate, sexism, racism, and/or ignorance in general.

Same with people who call themselves centerists, but hate everything slightly left and cheer for everything right wing. Like when the Charlottesville protests happened, and my centerist friend (not friends anymore) was defending people chanting Nazi stuff and attacking the counterprotesters.

In my experience, “centrists” are often just right-wingers who smoke weed.

Heh, that used to be the joke about libertarians, back before half the libertarians turned out to be white-supremacists and joined up with the alt-right, and the other half said “holy shit, the right wing is really bad for actual people’s actual liberty.”

Back in 2008 I thought Ron Paul might be an okay guy … yeah, no, it turned out not only that he was a neoconfederate racist piece of shit, but that libertarian mainstays like Murray Rothbard and Lew Rockwell had been in on it all along.

Quite a lot of what passed for “libertarianism” turned out to be a fraud to get the potheads, Deadheads, perverts, and hackers to join up with the far right. Fuck that.

After Bush II and Trump, there’s no redeeming the Republican Party. It doesn’t even have big-business capitalism or national security on its side anymore. The Bush-era fratboy MBAs hollowed it out and left it to be taken over by the Putinist-Trumpists.

The Democrats are now the party of big business; the Dow is up 17% since Joe Biden took office. The Republicans have become instead the party of hate groups, child-molesters, and thieves — losers who have nothing to offer the nation but rape, murder, and suffering.

“…creating a nuisance” and they all came back and we had a grand old time talking about crime, mother-raping, father-stabbing, and the all the groovy things we was talking about on the bench.

Blasting music/videos on their shitty phone speaker in public. If you really don’t have headphones, at least turn it down or hold the speaker closer to your ear so you’re not just annoying everyone in a 10-meter radius.

ASD = Autistic spectrum disorder.

But yeah, social contract. I don’t make you listen to my music, you don’t make me listen to yours. Simples.

If your music is playing in public, you have bad taste in music.

“But family is so important!” You go talk to them then, or go fuck yourself, IDC.

There have been many instances when I’ve told someone how crazy people in my family are, and then even if they believed me, after they met them they’re like “OMG I had no idea it was that bad.”

You have to know that there are some extremely shitty people in the world. Sometimes, those people are someone’s family.

Yeah. And when you really know next to nothing about the situation maybe let the people who’ve been dealing with it for literally all their lives decide.
