What's your pet peeve in your favorite video game?

Progress bars going to 100%. Many games are guilty of this, Baldur's Gate 3 most recently. If 100% are loaded, why am I seeing the loading screen still? The game should be starting. You're clearly not at 100% if I'm still watching the loading screen. It should be impossible to see a fully filled progress bar.

Artificially make progress bars stop at 99% if you must, it's still better than watching 100% being a clear lie.

Nudists in Spain are campaigning against an influx of clothed tourists on their beaches

Reply in thread

I'm sure everyone can take their clothes off. This is in no way discriminatory. Also, the majority of "natural highlights" is meant for clothed people to enjoy, I'm sure we can concede a few places to the nudists (who are very welcoming to all people, provided they're able to take their clothes off in the dedicated nude places).

And if you can't take your clothes off, your troubles are elsewhere and you should work on them before you take away the nudists' beaches. I believe the prudes and scared-of-nakedness evangelicals have a whole country they took away from indigenous people to sunbathe fully clothed in.

A Man, Dual Wielding Raw Steaks, Slaps Diners In The Face At Vegan Restaurant Yelling; “If You Don’t Eat Your Meat, You Can’t Have Any Pudding!”

I think a lot of the guilt you're feeling is your own and not created by these alleged vegans. I know a lot of vegans and also vegetarians and they're almost apologetic about their dietary choices. Of course, both your and my experiences are anecdotal but I find it hard to believe a vegan actually actively tried to guilt you into anything. Which isn't to say their mere presence doesn't cause you to feel guilty about your eating habits.

Your own fault for having a face and toes and dangling both in front of feral killers. Also, they wanted food and you chose to selfishly indulge in resting your body while your superiors literally fought starvation with their last bit of strength left. I also assume the bottom of the feeding bowl was visible, you monster! You probably deserve everything you got.

"I'm fine with discussing veganism as long as the vegans stop making objectively true but uncomfortable points."

The first point is obviously subjective (and your interpretation) but the other two are facts. Animals need to die for you to be able to eat them and somebody intentionally killed them in order to sell them to you for consumption. Calling this murder is a bit polemic but not factually wrong as it's an intentional and pre-mediated killing - the thing we call "murder". And yeah, if everyone stopped eating meat, climate change would slow down because fewer resources would be spent on breeding and raising cattle. It's a scientifically proven fact and also kind of a no-brainer. You don't think people will stop eating meat but that doesn't make the point any less factual.

I do eat meat, by the way. I just don't deny uncomfortable facts and don't get angry at people stating them. This is exactly what I meant when I said your guilt is your own. You know these facts are true but you don't want to confront that. This makes you uncomfortable to the point that you lash out at vegans who you perceive as guilt-tripping while they're just stating facts.
