I don't want to trivialize any of the other things on your list - I found myself nodding in agreement with many of them, and some of them, when I witness them happening, really piss me off - but when I got to Bell peppers I kind of shouted with glee. It's very rare for me to meet someone else who dislikes bells - most people goggle at me incredulously as if bell peppers were God's gift to vegetable eaters - "You hate peppers!?" they always say. Yes. I do. Unless they're spicy, get them away from me.

So, uh. Yeah.

Also - Great distances - whatcha mean by that?

YES. I like hot peppers; do not like bell peppers. And they're one of the staples of vegetarian cooking, it seems like-- I just think they're kind of texturally gross and bitter-tasting (or bland). What I really hate is when I assume the red vegetable bits on a pizza or something are chopped tomato, and they turn out to be bell pepper!

...whatcha mean by that?

Well, there are a lot of places I would like to be or people I would like to be with that are too far away for me to easily access, and sometimes that frustrates me a lot! :)

Well, the hat advice I can see. Some hats, depending on what kind of hair you have and your face shape just won't look good. But that's also a matter of personal choice; you can decide for yourself if a particular hat looks good on you or not.

Now I feel compelled to make a list of dislikes:

  • Javascript
  • The fact that Javascript does a lot of neat things and therefore I can't just stop using it.
  • Programming anxiety (it's like math anxiety, but for programming)
  • Any subculture that's supposed to be about freedom and being a misfit and supporting the underdog that turns out to be just as conformist and judgmental as the rest of society. Which is to say, practically all of them.
  • Gender stereotypes
