Bubble tea is disgusting. I tried it and I just couldn't finish a cup
Candidate recruiters on LinkedIn suck ass big time. Only a small part of them genuinely do their job well, the rest only chase money
(If you happen to be a recruiter, I don't mean to offend you. It just so happens that in my interactions with recruiters only two genuinely saw me as more than a number)
Also LinkedIn is a boring as hell platform
Oh yeah lastly media could use some autistic rep, I haven't seen it a lot
Splatoon 3's Big Run event has honestly been kinda mid
I'm upset Sonic Frontiers didn't get into any other categories for the game awards except for player's choice and then lost to genshin of all titles
seeing a lot of divisiveness on social media has been way to draining
then on the other hand toxic positivity has been exhausting
i'm kinda sad that i feel like i didn't get a whole lot of art done
genuinely think that quality of life for retail work (and workers) is really spiraling down the drain and for every good thing some place offers there's like several hidden downsides and people expect you to just deal with it than supporting calls for change
the whole thing with twitter super blew out a good chunk of my motivation to do creative stuff and i don't appreciate that emotional inconvenience TTvTT
i also havent been able to find good peanut brittle in years and i'm losing hope in the chance for the one store that had it to come back to my area mall 
So I definitely have some larger gripes, but to keep it lighter:
whenever jeopardy is cancelled or postponed for sports. not cool
The newspaper my family orders forgot to include the crossword twice this year. Also not cool!
los espookies is such a great series! why is each season so short??
why don’t more cats in my neighborhood understand that I want to be friends? Kind of rude tbh.
Why is German grammar so hard to learn? Why do the words not have clear clues as to their gender like spanish? You just have to memorize the gender of every word?? and what is case?? Do I look like I know what a direct or indirect object is??
Adding onto @DualDragons ‘s comment, I find linkedin influencers even more obnoxious than other social media influencers (no offense if there are any here. Sometimes they do have good insights)
Photoshop’s whole business model these days. Today I saw a 1 year subscription for sale that cost about the same as the program used to cost to own and use forever. I’ll be sticking to elements and clip studio I guess.
8.This is super old news, but the fact that Nintendo Power magazine went out of business the year I finally got a subscription. I really liked that magazine 
I missed so, so many figure skating sessions to POTS/orthostatic hypotension/whatever this year. But it used to be that I would only go a few days without skating, back during summer and the first part of the year when I was still in high school.
Once I started college in the fall, I could only skate twice a week because of the way my schedule was arranged. So missing a few days because of a POTS episode went to missing a few weeks of skating because of it, sometimes almost a month.
Just in general, my chronic illness has been getting worse over the past few years, and it makes me want to throw things like an angry gorilla.
Same hat, my dude. Same hat. I also personally want more OSDDID rep too (and neurodivergent rep in general)
Yeah, I know Errant here on tapas has autistic rep and I know Overwatch has one too, aside from that I know no other reps (though I live under a rock so bare with me)
Also I hated Rain Man with a passion when I watched it as a kid, in fact I didn't finish the movie
I really enjoyed Mario and Rabbids game and I feel sort of disappointed that most tactical RPGs have semi-renaissance fantasy anime aesthetics, it’s just a style I do not like.
on nintendo power im sad i never got to sub much less get a backorder and sure theres the podcast but its not the same
Phahaha bro I didn't expect to find someone here with my problems, yet here I am. We can do it. I don't know hooooow because it's such a mess (for gods' sake, I know Russian and Chinese, how can it possibly be worse than this?? This sentence structure is tearing me apart), but we can 
We all learned our native languages pretty well before anyone started trying to dissect sentence structure & categorize & name different parts of speech. Perhaps the natural way is to just immerse in it as much as possible & make mistakes & receive correction. I hated that French had to assign gender to all inanimate objects without rules to help decide.
- Youtubers need to stop using the word "destroyed" in their titles.
YES! Someone else hates that!! 
- Modern Star Trek is way too bloodthirsty.
I gave up on ST a long time ago. It seems there's a point at which we need to walk away from most series, before they disappoint us & even the good times are dimmed by the shoddy work that came after.
MY GRIPE for today: Readers who consume the entire series but cannot find the LIKE button. (yeah, yeah, maybe it DID suck for them & they're just masochists, but even a masochist ought to admit they liked the suffering, right?? 
)
Oh, so French does that too! On top of the difficult spelling! 
And yeah, immersion is the way to go. That’s how I got better at Spanish.
@Ordinaryaverageguy I guess some patterns are just easier to locate/comprehend than the others and it probably depends on how different we all learn. I learned French too and it made like so much more sense x) you are completely right, of course, the immersion is the best way for sure.
@OLDSAGGY hey, ask me any time if you will help with that one
Not recent, but it's definitely a personal realization I've had.
Being on social media used to be fun, man.. 
Everything somehow feels a competition or a depressing news cycle or a heated debate or a pointless TV channel to waste your time on. It's honestly kinda tiring. As much as I've grown out of liking it, it's also hard to pull away from it too. That's just how it is now, everything's designed to keep you engaged with the platform as much as possible.
I guess it's given me a greater appreciation for actually interacting with others in person and experiencing stuff on my own as opposed to sharing stuff with others. But I kinda wish this didn't come at the cost of my enjoyment of social media, y'know?
I’m lacking motivation right now. I SHOULD be studying for my professional school exam instead of making art.
I can’t be motivated to make an effort with any new friend group safe for the one I’ve had since high school. Instead, I avoid folks as much as I possibly can.
I can’t be motivated to make an effort to play any other game console EXCEPT my Nintendo Gamecube. I can’t be motivated to make an effort to gain camaraderie.
Sometimes, I even struggle to find the motivation to write on the forums Often, I just submit one of my 10 drafts written long ago.
All I can be motivated to do right now is sleep. And cry.
I can’t even be motivated to eat.
AI in the art world. Don't like it, never will. But all I can do is live with it
Writers' block: I have days where I'd stare at my story outline for hours 'cause I just can't think of anything, no matter the genre. I really wanted to release a new webtoon this year, but at my pace it'd be sometime after the inevitable heat death.
When artists host art challenges/contests and don't acknowledge any of the participants. I understand not responding right away, but some just don't respond at all.
The thing is, there are isekai where its an adult who dies, but they end up reborn as kids anyway. -_-
@aqua03
Oof! That happened to me when I decided to post from the desktop. Never doing that again. In fact the desktop version of insta is super buggy.
I work at a grocery store bakery and the entire store a pretty much understaffed making it hard on everyone. Every new person quits before their 2nd day. In fact a lot of places are the same. Restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. Like, where is everybody going?!
@ar-ninetysix Doom scrolling on social media is like a black hole. The best thing is to step back, but it's hard since it feels like choosing ignorance.
There is no comic creator forum (like this forum) in my native language, I just don't sense a chinese webcomic community anywhere. That also makes sharing my chinese version of my niche series very hard
