Coming soon to a brain nearest you: dead, then brain stuck in a jar and revived. Spend a few years trying to scream, but have no body to do it with.

Concur on the pirate flag. But if lazy and on the 'included' tier of Prime Video, watching in a browser with ad-block will absolutely block ads on Prime. Doesn't fix stuff you have to pay for on there of course, and their UI is hot garbage with no way to sort out non-free shiat. I haven't used it in years even though I pay for Prime. Rethinking that as I only order things 1-2 times a month tops.

People that don't understand the difference between "this room is too hot/cold" and "I'm too hot/cold".
Especially common in perimenopausal women.
Extra hilarious if they're rapidly moving their arm back and forth to "fan" themselves, thus generating extra body heat in the process, while complaining "its too hot in here" while the thermometer says no, it is in fact not too hot in here.

A shade over 40, but everyone I meet thinks I'm 30ish. Women in the 25-32 range are my wheelhouse. Any older than that and they usually look a lot older than me, plus all they do is ask me what I do for work / money and if I have a house and all that adult expectations bullshit. 25-32 they tend to still just want to have fun, which is what I'm good at.
What rustles my jimmies today: When you're on the phone with an Indian customer service rep, they put you on hold to take care of your issue, and every minute or so they come back repeating then same "sir, I'm still working on your issue, do you mind continuing to hold while I work to solve this matter" line.
People aren't fucking goldfish-brained, you can just leave them on hold for a few minutes and deal with their issue, instead of WASTING TIME coming back every minute to ask them to keep holding. It probably makes everything take twice as long.

RobXIII you read that wall of text? What did he say? can ya tl;dr it for us?
TLDR: Probably nothing important. I complain about women and yet make little effort to broaden the net and get a better sample size / catch decent ones. I'll need to do that, and possibly lower my standards a bit, before I get any more old. One of these days I'll actually visibly start to show that age.
Reminds me of the Indian woman I dated. Oldest woman I ever dated in any serious capacity, at 39 (runner up is like 33 and was pre-existing).
I saw her be rude to guys a number of times for doing innocuous things. Ignore them, snap at them, etc. She would rant about "male privilege" and how oppressed she was (she was the daughter of a foreign military general who was rich off of Egyptian military contracts, she wrote for a major magazine, and she had more opportunities thrown her way in the average week than I do in 3 years).
I would just look the other way on her terrible attitude and princess-like behavior with other people because she was fantastic in bed and liked sports and trips. Was a generally fun person. Had this Aubrey Plaza look that got my motor running.
Well, suffice to say, after she broke things off, when I reached out to wish her luck on her team winning the NBA finals, she snapped at me about not needing to contact her anymore or something. Not sure why I was surprised by this behavior. TLDR if she's rude to other people she'll do the same to you when she's done with you.

That might be the most horrifying idea I've heard in a long time. The idea that post-death, you could be revived in some sort of stasis with no body and unable to do anything. Or getting hit by a car, waking up in the future as a disembodied head, and being a test subject / component in a machine. Yeah, all of that gets a huge no from me.
I didn't even know there was a difference between our boob implants and East Asian implants. Not surprised that theirs are higher-quality, like most things made by high-IQ, high-trust societies. I have noticed in the past that not all implants are created equal and some look far better than others. No idea how they feel, all the women I've dated were natural.
Kind of curious to see it firsthand if anyone can point me in the direction of, say, a pron actress with these magical Asian-style implants.
Another big phone-related jimmy rustle I have: Some medical supplies company keeps calling me asking me to order back/knee braces that are completely covered by insurance. They desperately want to give me this free stuff so they can get paid, likely way more than the items are worth, by insurance. I'm pretty sure there's a scam afoot here, or at the very least overly-pushy marketing.
What really drives me nuts is how frequently they call. There have been days where I got 3 or 4 phone calls from them. I tell them no, stop calling, and they keep calling. I told them I already got their stuff and don't need it, take me off the list, and they said "oh well you probably got the OLD models, there are new ones now" "well I got them like 3 weeks ago" "yeah these just came out just now so we can go ahead and send you the new model" "no really, I'm good"
I've tried asking for a supervisor, I've tried asking them to take me off their list. Usually they say ok and then nothing happens. Often they just hang up once I start going off about how they need to stop calling.
The whole thing is absurd. On the bright side, the calls seem to have dried up a lot in the past month or so. Get maybe one every 3-4 days now.
Thick-accented Indians with names like "Jim Smith" and "Sarah Roberts" regularly call my mom, always with some new Wile E Coyote scam to try and trick her into giving them money or a card number.
Today somebody tried to charge $950 and $1004 to my bank account for "auto parts" in California. Bank flagged both as possible fraud and blocked them. We seem to live in a world of fucking scammers these days.
