And tailgating
Man, one thing that irritates me is spelling and grammar checks on Microsoft office. They definitely have their place, and I appreciate them sometimes. However they seem to overstep boundaries and when trying to give their suggestions, there is no grasp of context for the wording or sentence structure. These grammar and spelling check suggestions often become a "boy who cried wolf" dynamic if that makes sense. Can anyone relate to this?
Some suggestions I have seen are absurdly inaccurate. Definitely an example of a "boy who cried wolf" suggestion. Despite AI often being inaccurate itself, it would be nice and useful to have AI built into those grammar, punctuation, and spelling checks because at least AI understands structural or situational context and nuances.

A news article with an interesting headline, and when you start to read it and you are about to read the best part, the notification that you have to purchase a premium membership to continue reading.
After seeing news relating to the thing that triggered me to post this I can only say, that there will never be enough justice.
One thing that really irritates me and frustrates me is dealing with people and institutions that seem to lack imagination, are unable to see around certain corners, and/or are unable to connect certain dots when you are conversing with them or collaborating with them. What adds further frustration is when the things you are saying or the ideas you are proposing seem to be over their heads (and they can't comprehend anything important or worthwhile) or they respond to you in a dismissive or defeatist way while casting doubt about the plausibility of what you are proposing. It makes you feel like you are flying blind or being thrown in the woods to fend for yourself so to speak (every man for themselves essentially).

How anxious and easily frustrated or panicked I have been by small things, and the resulting decrease in enjoyment I have gotten from these visits. It is getting to the point where I'm questioning whether I will be able to continue doing, sadly.
The anxiety and quick frustration or panic are also increasingly an issue outside of zoos and I haven't yet succeeded at doing something about this.
The fact I keep on thinking about and having ideas for speculative zoo design stuff, despite my decision to quit this part of the hobby recently, and despite all recents attempts having ended with failure and frustration.
As much as I don't want to, I am getting ever more pessimistic about the future of zoos and related activities as my major hobby. I have already lost one aspect of the hobby and actually going to zoos and making photos seems like it also might be over soon. But I can't really think of much of an alternative that I would enjoy as much either.

I will add seeing this… statement to the list of things that irritate me.
And how do people who believing in free will affect you. Do you get hurt? Do people put you in a greater risk when they say “yes I have free will and I am not like a preprogrammed robot and I would not like to be treated as such” ? Does it irritate you that people don’t want to be reduced to stardust no matter how many peer reviewed studies and smart-sounding video essays reduce life and humanity to mere matter, no better than rocks, sand, and cow farts? If so, then you my friend are very lucky that you don’t have anything worse affecting you in this world.
Hmm yes let’s finish it off by dunking on people of faith. So insightful, so logical.
Except I know that there are people of faith back at my “old country” who use some sort of predetermined fate to excuse horrible actions such as domestic violence and more that cannot be brought to this website. This type of behavior could even be seen by the current Turkish government in order to avoid accountability. Sure they didn’t go using the routes of “science and logic”, but it basically sounds the same.
A few months ago I said this:
I probably should have added that seeing people smarter than me leads to envy (I guess a neurologically predetermined one, eh?). This, act of and deconstructing humanity and looking down on others for not agreeing, is not the type of intelligence I envy.

That social media is increasingly designed to get you winded up and angry because that's what generates views and engagement. Some reels/shorts/tiktoks will deliberately get information blatantly wrong so people will comment that it's wrong, as it boosts engagement.

YouTube comments that say “First”.
I share this very strongly. I actually came to write out something very alike. I had a love of learning from a young age and insecurities about some aspects of myself, so it meant the world that family and friends saw me as smart and I built a lot of my sense of identity around being an intellectual person.
As an adult, I recognize I am not probably less intelligent than most adults, and accepting this makes me feel like I have lost a part of myself. It has been hard to accept I can be no expert in any of my areas of interest and study.
So I have this tendency to touch under the table and sometimes I am unfortunate enough to find pieces of chewing gum under the table I use. If it wasn’t for this site’s professionalism rule I would go ham on these people. How does anyone who does this think highly of themselves? It’s unhygienic, uncivilized, and rude. As someone who was chastised for biting my nails, having active bowels, and tmi I am offended that people who do this get away with this.
The worst part is that the piece of gum I found today was at the library with a trashcan not so far away. Whoever did this wasn’t even bound to sit down for hours due to classes or anything. Yet they stuck this amalgamation of pathogens, synthetic resins, and artificial sweeteners because they are too good to take ten steps to a trash can.

A lot of things, honestly. But especially heavy traffics, which is much worse to experience if you're the driver (Not helping when you aware that you also kinda contribute to the problem 
).

When you are having a fun and amazing time and it's one of the best times in your whole life... only to wake up and realize it was only a dream.
Mailboxes.
My mailbox often gets filled with ads, despite the bixes specifially saying no ads, and nothing specifically addressed to me. Which is why I just stop checking them. This resulted in something biting me back in the form of a mail that had finished its one week stay in the post office. I fear that the letter could have included important documentation for my stay here…

I abruptly snapped out of a bad mental funk the other day that lasted for most of a couple of months and involved a severe sense of identity crisis and a sudden lack of confidence in beliefs that I had felt strongly about. I've said things I don't mean but I meant them when I said them. This has happened before but never for this long.
