Things that Echo hates
Cover image by SatanPink (Warning NSFW profile)
One of my friends said I am always too negative, so I decided to list things I hate to prove I am only negative towards a few things. How many of these are reasonable, and how many are just me being silly? I will let you decide.
Things that I hate
In alphabetical order for your reading enjoyment.
- Ad blocker blockers Fuck you. I am using my Adblock, and you can not stop me
- Advertising I don’t want to learn about your new product, now stop bothering me I am trying to figure out how to center a div
- Aim assist in shooter games (referring to aim assist in PC games) It is a crutch by definition. Get good lol. Also please refer to Modern Warfare 2 players are already taking sides in the battle over aim assist - PC Gamer and Apex Legends aim assist debate reignited as ImperialHal wins ALGS on controller - Dexerto as it is a good article about this topic.
- Airpods Overpriced and overhyped. Just spend like 80$ to get refurbished Google Pixel Buds on eBay. They work just as fine
- Alcohol I am fine with others consuming alcohol. I don’t see the point in it; maybe I am just missing something.
- Apple (the company) they do not even “think differently” anymore. I can’t remember the last time I was excited for an Apple Event
- AT&T Try not to get breached challenge (impossible) 99% Fail1
- Bad computer mouse I would rather use a trackpad than a bad mouse.
- Badly designed software Looking at the Broadcom website with this one2
- Bigots Can’t we all get along? Why do some have to be mean?
- Body hair I don’t know why, I just don’t like the fact my body puts hair on my arms because fuck it. If my body is going to grow hair, at least grow actual fur so I can be fluffy
- Bouncy balls The ones that bounce really high, I just despise them. You drop them once, and now they are bouncing all over the place, and you can’t catch them.
- Brain rot just no, stop pls
- Brexit I am pretty sure this was all just downsides for the UK; they never got anything good in return
- Bytedance Just another big tech company based in China, same as all the others
- Caffeine Your body does not need it, fix your sleep schedule
- Call of Duty COD players after not being able to slide every 0.002 seconds. At least they gave us good usernames with clan tags like [Thick]xXx_pU$$y_FraGGerS_xXx
- Canonical Fuck you for making Ubuntu bloated as fuck
- Cheaters in competitive games Valve pls, fix VAC. Jokes aside, if you cheat in something like Minecraft, no one cares, but if you are cheating in competitive games like Counter-Strike or Valorant, you are lame
- Chinese government -1,000 Social credit
- Chromebooks To quote the Uncyclopedia, “It is popular in schools due to its powerful CPU (capable of running Minesweeper and Snake at the same time), advanced crashing ability, and decorational graphics chip. Built from the Linux operating system, it aims to be simple for students to use, overload, and yell at. It is frequently described as ‘dirt-cheap’, a fitting name as most of the components, including the keyboard, frame, and CPU, are all made from mud brick. ”3
- Chromium-based browsers Just Chromium dressing up as something else.
- Chromium Don’t let Google & Chromium take over the web. They have the power to do so and have attempted to before
- Cinnamon (the spice) I just don’t like it, but if you mix it with carrots and some honey and then toss it in the microwave, it is pretty awesome. But by itself, it isn’t very good.
