I hate it how people seem to be easily fooled on the Internet, namely here and here.

First example: it's a CGI animation of a plane losing a wing but still landing, and it becomes VERY obvious at the end, but yet people still defend it like it's real. PUH-LEASE, planes don't land like that, and if they did they would be nothing but a pile of metal and avionics. On fire.

Second example: That guy claims he works for Nintendo without any proof, and yet people still believe him. I even asked him for proof that he worked for Nintendo and guess what? Nada. Judging by how easily he got away with such a lie I can probably say I can work for Valve and people would believe me.

I hate the fact that as I age, the pace of technology is FAR outpacing my ability to absorb, retain and use new information.
Damn it! I USED to be the MASTER of my computer. Now, I switched to Mac like four years ago, and I STILL feel rather clueless!
Also, I am gaining weight.
I gotta face it. I just hate aging. Jeez.

Welcome to my world, amigo. BTW, I thought of something I do hate: I was almost certainly the last person in the world to notice my bald spot. That pretty much defines the word "humiliating."

All you young guys, laugh at us old farts while you can. If you're reasonably lucky, you may live long enough for your own bodies to let you down, as ours have. Maybe I shoulda done more drugs...?

I hate it when ...

I spend literally all day trying to figure out why my yasim model runs out of elevator trim in the solver ... fiddling with every number in the config file over and over again. And then it turns out the split="false" statement in the control-input definition doesn't do what I thought. split="anything" ends up being true, even false = true. If you wish split to be false, leave the tag out and don't say anything. Grrr ....

But thanks Gary and Andy! I'm flying now!

(follow ups to the I'm happy because ... thread)

Use imgur, or min.us

Imageshack is just rubbish compared to them.

Oh man, this.

And I hate it when it's beautiful and warm outside after months of a winter that has barely nudged above freezing, and I'm stuck in a little work office made of white-washed concrete masonry walls.

And you're welcome Curt! Glad I could help.

Somewhat related to mine-now that we had the warm weather while everyone else was freezing and being smothered in snow, it's been raining all day here. I hate it when it rains all day. I like some rain, but not when it's just there ALL DAY.

I hate it when you're the only one who isn't playing TF2 in a group of people, mainly because your laptop can't even play Minecraft, and it occasionally struggles with Age of Empires II. (I was playing Age of Empires while everyone else was busy playing Minecraft.)

One funny thing did come up-we heard someone over mic chat say something like this: "I don't know if this is a glitch, but I fired my rocket launcher, and then I exploded."

I hate it when the AI Director in Left 4 Dead 2 decides it likes Witches. I was playing through the Hard Rain campaign in that game a few minutes ago and throughout the second and third chapters of that campaign I kept on encountering them! Even the game's characters complained about it (I'm serious!)

Then I wanted to rip my hair out when I encountered THREE Witches at once.

I hate it when you distract yourself from homework until 9-10 PM with Minecraft. And once the server is turned off for the night, come up with the idea to put a minecart on the hill I've been climbing up and down with. (Thankfully, English HW is reasonable tonight!)

I hate it when noobs ask dumb questions instead of Googling it. I also hate it when they boast about 'being so good' or 'so smart' and ask ANOTHER stupid question immediately after, totally disproving whatever they said before.

I also hate homework.
