People who tell lies
People who lack curiosity
People who cannot and will not admit a mistake
People who are lazy
Bullies
People who say «Well what can I do, I’m just one person, I can’t change anything»
People who say they will do something and then they don’t do it. Next time just shut up and don’t say it! That way nobody has to know you were planning on doing it but then didn’t!
People whose actions are controlled by their fears

Having to remember a zillion different passwords for each web site and device and service and account and bank card and…
A different memory card format for each device for each company
Copy protection
A different battery format for each device for each company
Having to constantly be recharging all those batteries

Having to get on all fours under a desk to plug and unplug stuff

Advertising – most of it, most of the time
Advertising that encourages the perpetuation of mindless consumerism and wastefulness
Advertising that co-opts ideas like «freedom» and «revolution» to sell products that encourage economic slavery and the status quo
Plastic water bottles that take a minute to drink and will still remain intact in 10 000 years
The ice caps are melting and we’ve been told that they were going to melt for the last 30 years and nobody did anything and now they’re melting and it’s too late
The industrial agricultural businesses that brought us crazy incurable and wildly destructive diseases like the mad cow disease

Well, that’ll be enough bad shit for today. Next time I’ll give you a nice list, or a cool list, or a funny list or whatever. It’s not all bad all the time.
