your pet peeve about society?

You nailed my pet peeve about society.

I brought a women's fur-lined parka today. Because fuck you, society, I wear what I want and look damn good in it!

Darn right...

Maybe it would be easier to ask me what doesn't piss me off about society. But Mark you got the whole thing in a nutshell pretty much with the clothing. Women can play dress up with clothing that is sleeveless and wear skirts even below the knees is a lot more comfortable and free feeling. Guys are pretty much stuck looking like slobs if they wear sleeveless shirts or T shirts. Guilty of that one myself because when I have to be all guy fuck the formalities. Summertime is shorts and tshirts and wintertime is jeans and tshirts. But I don't need all that crap with looking nice and neat guy wise. LOL I know who I am and know what I am I may look like a slob as a guy but I sure smell good though.  I guess it is more like image, or that I truly don't care, so people can think what they want. I got my own business so, I don't need a 9-5. The only thing I tell my drivers is don't fuck up my trucks, keep them clean even more so if they have pets with them. And please shower at least every other day. Customers no matter who don't want to smell a stinky driver that hasn't showered for 5 or 6 days. I know because I have known drivers like that. You fuel at least every other day and when you fuel you get a free shower so take it. It don't even have to be right then and there but at another truckstop of the same name all across the US. I showered everyday. Free shower or not. So stinky people are a pet peeve of mine too.

But one step farther is hairstyles. Women can get away with short styles and long styles in the "workplace" but if a guy has long hair or a perceived guy has long hair then they are either drug addicts, rebels, Wannabe badboys or whatever else. Usually anything but a "respectable" man. I say kiss my ass on that one. I have tried to find normal jobs with long hair, now wonder why I drove a truck a lot of the time. Plus playing music the long hair just feels good and it is a good way to hide.  Yeah there are some places that are lenient on the guys with long hair but a lot of office settings or management positions they won't even consider a guy with long hair. Especially in customer based job descriptions. Unless you work selling guitars and other musical instruments geared for all the sleazy musicians like me.

OK so other pet peeves, racism of all kinds, arrogance, liars, cheaters (not relationship wise as much as cheating people), assuming, and the list is far too long to go really into. I guess society is my pet peeve.

People who are obsessed with getting "likes" on facebook and use it as a measurement of their self-worth. My ex was like this

That is truly sad. Unfortunately too many people think that way though.

What I hate most about society right now is how far the political left in America has shifted in the last few years. I used to consider myself a rather far left liberal. Now I find that what constitutes modern liberalism has shifted so far toward the fringe that I'm now considered conservative. I can't put into words how odd that feels, or just how deeply troubling I find this trend. I now find the average liberal-minded youth about as mind-numbingly out of touch as I do the average fundamentalist right-winger. I'm only 28, and I already feel old, things have changed so much. Is it just me, or did kids used to have spines? Now they all seem to think they're perpetual victims of their first world problems, need to be sheltered from the *gasp* horror of free speech, and love blaming their personal failings on systematic oppression, as If most of them even know the meaning of the word from their upper middle class perch.

Hey, you asked.

Stupidity.
That covers everything right? I don't like humanity much.

Amen Pikachu. I mean the whole Liberal definition is taken from the word Liberty. Some of these modern Liberals were hippies in their former lives. Nothing wrong with that but they are just as Iron Fisted as anyone else with power. Things change. Ideology changes. Mine has never changed. I go with it and am still the same but I am neither liberal or conservative but believe in Liberty and self responsibility. I am not a victim. I crawled out of a poverty ridden youth. Made my own way and figured it out on my own without any University happening. I have met people from all walks of life and respect their points of view. I believe people should do what they want to do, love who they want to love, be who they want to be and be responsible enough to take their own lives by the ears and ride that "jackass" until it is tamed. But the modern liberals though are as controlling as anyone else when they get the power lust.

But yeah. I want to say what I want to say. If it offends, I'm sorry but that is my right. Just like others say things that offend me but that is their right and I respect it. Not because it is the flavor of the day and or political correct or incorrect but how they actually think. Then I can decide to stay away from them or befriend them.

As for Kids and having spines? Yeah we used to in my day. You have one now. But most follow the leader and that would be either their teacher or their professor. Now days it seems that you can only have an opinion if it falls in line with someone else's. Screw that. I have my own.

Luv that about you Pikachu. Keep on talking. Never be afraid to give your opinion. I may not agree with yours sometimes and you may not agree with mine sometimes. But does that really matter? We have the right to be who we are and think what we think and we should respect that and never let that effect who we are friends with. If anything it should strengthen the bonds of friendship that people can be so open with one another and still like and love one another.

Artificial Intelligence is getting closer.
People worry that it will become smarter than humans and band together to wipe us out.
But what if it does become smarter, does it mean that it to will have those hives of thought and opinion?
Different AI programs most likely would.
Different ideologies developing AI.
Different regions of the world, different countries and/or religions, the 1%.
The 1%, they might hoard all the AI and it will wipe them out. 
I wonder that if it does wipe us out or take over if it will still keep the doomsday clock.
AI arguing with other AI. Artificial Christians and Artificial Muslims, political left and right..
What if HAL had a backup and it was activated when HAL decided to take over, but didn't want to take over?
'Shut up and one of you fricken HAL's, just open the pod bay doors...'
Artificial Intelligence's that have opinions based on ideologies just might end up being one big pet peeve.

Sorry I have to be a grammar nerd for a second. Why is cis in capital letters? It's not supposed to be.
