PETA

This also.

No offense Taco, but non-trimmed quoting. Reminder/heads-up: Quotes usually have links attached to them so you can read from the source.

Plus, I think I speak for most forumites all over the place (and other forums) in these regards to posting/quoting.

BTW, for some odd reason "Fatal Attraction" is my first thought upon seeing PETA Comics Issue No. 1. And another stray thought: I wonder how PETA would react to Dwarf Fortress?

Similar to LASD, "fail."  The word has lost all grammatical meaning and no longer has any classification.  It's just a sound people make when someone falls down.

"No Farrah Fawcett in the memorial tribute? Major fail."

Roger Ebert now uses fail as an interjective.  On his Twitter feed.  The concentrated lameness is as sweet as it is difficult to bear.

Hopefully that's two fads, and pet peeves of mine, killed with one jowly old stone.

It would be delicious.

It wasn't untrimmed, I took out the "The Host" part because I've never really heard about it. I was quoting the rest because I agree with everything else he said there.

People saying "outcast" instead of "cast out."  Irritating in the extreme.

the host is twilight with mary-sue aliens. just make Bella older and not-pale so moar PG action can occur. complete with irrelevant metaphors pertaining to geology for foreplay!

When I post without thinking about the post thoroughly or without my own approval. Whenever I do, it's like a demon inside me cringes in pain...
Also, when people think I'm being snippy even though I have a totally emotionless face and speak calmly. It happens to me a lot, for some reason.
Finally, people who are too logical. I argued with a friend over the logic of a trap on DnD. I felt it went on too long, so I tried to end it several times by saying "It's DnD, get over it!" but he would say "I know, but..." and continue. :\

[Cthulhu]

Heh, on the same note as Jack Bread's thing, but not a peeve, I love when people try to get into a shouting match with me.  I don't get into shouting matches, and I can tell that bothers people when they're trying to drown out someone who isn't yelling.

[Itnetlolor]

How people who are really/actually successful never take notes on their successes or failures in order to give proper advice. Every single person I had to ask advice for anything about always gave me the same advice in the same structure. They look like broken aesops on a broken record when you actually look into them enough.

Examples (paraphrased):
Dating-- Looks matter for everything
Work-- Looks matter for everything
Excercise-- Looks matter for everything
Social life-- Looks matter for everything

I think there's a pattern, but I just can't put my finger on it.

Make things worse, actually apply logic and successfully challenge bad advice, and you get in trouble for it. What the hell?

You wouldn't get along well with me then. I have been banned from speaking during movies(not that I tend to pay any attention to said ban...) because I always over-analyze things. For example: When han solo describes the Millennium Falcon, he says that it "made the something-or-other run in less than some-number parsecs." Parsecs are a unit of distance, that's like saying it finished a 100 meter dash in 50 meters or something.

[Cthulhu]

Nope, nope, nope.

The Kessel run goes right through a black hole, and you have to go around it.  The faster your ship, the closer you can come to the event horizon without being overcome by its gravity.  As a result, making it in 12 parsecs is indeed a feat.

If you really want to be overly analytical, try to figure out why the robots in the Matrix used humans as their fuel when they were more than capable of drilling down to the mantle and powering themselves on geothermal energy, which doesn't want to rebel and destroy them.

[Realmfighter]

Because the robots still had an ingrained 3 laws*, making them chose the path with the least human lives lost.

*The matrix universes counterpart to the three laws.

Or maybe they're just assholes.

Originally, the plot was that the humans were used as part of a supercomputer, but this was rejected because it was worried that the audience "wouldn't get it".
