I hate unboxing videos...I fuckin hate spending 3:32 on a video when I can look at a photo in :05.

I fuckin hate those unboxing videos.

Howard's Hate List is coming!
I also hate them, but perhaps the worst are reaction videos. I post a lot of music videos and live performance videos. And I'm always coming across videos of people supposedly listening to a song for the first time, and reacting. Just total bullshit.

Yeah, supposedly they're all faked...but who tends to claim they're faked? Fans of that band/singer.

There's tons of pop, country and rap songs I've never heard. It's quite possible that some influencer hasn't heard a deep cut by The Cult, The Ramones, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band or Pink Floyd.

The other one I hate? Tik-Tok. Not only because China, but the whole mindset of "It's new! Let's all go to the new thing!" What's wrong with YouTube?

Those damn overlays everyone is doing. Let's show a video of something with the person overlaid on top. Hate.

I've barely seen any Tik Tok vids. I could be wrong but I'm under the impression 90% of them are 10 second clips of people dancing to a song. And I have zero interest in that.

That's how it started, but it's a lot more than that now. Apparently it's a hell of a way to go viral when something you're on breaks (if I believe what I see in my news feed, Disney rides are constantly breaking or closed. Keep in mind they're closed either because routine maintenance or someone jumped off one of the boat rides, but nothing gets the clicks like "Beloved Attraction CLOSED.")

Another hate thing? The word "sips." When in the eff did it become hipster levels of trendy to goddamn "sip" everything? Did we forget words like "drink" and "chug" or do those have negative connotations because frat bros like to chug beer and become drunks because they drink too much?

Stop with the word sips.

Sit on the rooftop patio and sip! Sip and stroll! Sip! Enough!

There's a thread for that

but anyway, yeah, sips is dumb. Like "bites" and "peeps" (for people).

"You don't take Apple Pay, right?"
"No! No Apple Pay!"

"Are your wings spicy?"
"Yes! They're spicy!"

"Is your turban dirty?"

Today's military salute at the basketball game is Captain Chris Kidd, not to be confused with KiddChris.

Listening to 10/23/2002. Robin is singing a country song about how a man needs big strong ham hands to handle her triple D's. Interesting! I never thought I'd hear Robin singing country.

Listening to 10/24/2002. A guy named Dwayne Richardson played Win Fred's Money (and lost 4-2). After losing, he plugged a website that tracks dollar bills by serial number (so you can see where a dollar bill you once owned ended up - as long as someone else who gets it punches the serial number into the website too). A few years later, Forbes wrote about it and the article begins with Dwayne's name.

I remember using that site to track bills, but I didn't know that the guy was on Howard.
