Person Asks A Question “What Modern Trend Do You Absolutely Hate?”, And 30 People Online Deliver

I prefer to think of it as "consequence culture". It's true that people change, and making a rude joke 20 years ago shouldn't be the end of someone's career. But if someone shows a consistent pattern of negative behavior over many years with no evidence of growth (like being an unapologetic racist) it's fair for the public to decide they don't want to support that person any more. And in most instances the person isn't actually canceled- people like JK Rowling are still mega millionaires with fans all over the world. She still has the support of her publisher and Warner Bros. Nobody is actually canceling her.

If you haven't changed in the last 30 years....then no growth has happened which is way worse.

Cancel culture to me donates how afraid people are of other opinions. They clearly feel threatened. Probably because, as children, they mollycoddled and don't understand how to deal with situations where there are either perceived or actual threats.

Sometimes I think people just want something to be dramatic about...

Slamming people for not agreeing with what's supposed to be "politically correct". We don't have to tolerate aggressive or offensive behaviour, but every person has the right to think what they want. We must respect everybody, but we are not obliged to agree with them.

"People have had enough of experts" -Michael Gove, British MP (and utter twatwaffle) and at one point Education Minister. Yeah...

My uncle is big antivax. I asked him to cite a source for me. Ended up finding one that is actual scientific study showing downsides to vaccination but the language was over both our heads because it was legit. End of the day we found the dumbed down version and it basically said based on their study allergic reaction rates night be higher than originally assumed for one specific vaccine. I told him I dont think an opinion is well researched if you can't understand the evidence that you use to support your claim

It is about egos. Majority of stupid is about egos.

Let me introduce you to half the American electorate

'Research' by reading someone spouting random ideas online? Sigh

I can understand an independent seller, or very, very small upstart business. But never heard of a bigger business referring people to their facebook. I hate businesses referring people to their website rather than simply speaking with people is on here. It's so anti-social and rude for a company to do that to customers and potential clients. I want to hear tone and understand context.

I hate when public schools use it as their announcement site. "Oh you didn't know? Well we posted it on Facebook!" Yeah that doesn't help me. One, I rarely look at Facebook. Two, there's so much trash to wade through there's no guarantee I'd have seen it anyways.

As someone who designs websites for a living, I cannot disagree more. It is far better to have no website than to have a poorly designed website, for several reasons. Search engine optimization is an important and hugely overlooked factor, design expertise, the psychology of web design, copywriting, etc. etc. etc. Having a website is about more than just loading all the info and pictures into a template; if it isn't done right, your business will not appear in any search directories, so you won't be able to grow. At least having a facebook business profile helps to get small businesses on the map. It's not just about giving existing customers something to look at, it's about driving new business. A poorly designed website will only hinder that.

I don't use Facebook and so many restaurants where I live Will only accept bookings from their FB page.

I do not like this. But I also get it, it is free. For many small businesses or even public schools, they cannot afford a website. So I stead they use Facebook for free.

It really is dangerous. It would be easier, for example, to feel the third button across, rather than having to take your eyes off the road to look at a screen.

That's what puts me off about Teslas. I like physical dials and buttons.

Having used a POS system, that's much like these screens, they are very distracting and take some focus to find what you're looking for.

This is one of the dumbest things the car manufacturers ever came up with. Thanks a fu cking bunch. Technology is not always a good thing.

A Car Hooked To The Internet AT ALL. It's So Easy To Hack And Take Control

So what? Let them try. If they're boring, they will fail. If they are successful, good for them!

Wouldn't know the name of a single influencer.

That the word "Influencer" is actually a word is a pure shyte

Influencers don't bother me cos I don't follow them. But one thing that does bother me is watching a stream and then feeling berated for not "donating" or "tipping" or paying some monthly fee for something they started doing for free, had no guarantee of making money off of, and not doing anything beneficial to offer society than talking their opinions, in which we all do for free.

Hey! , if I want to eat a huge bowl of spaghetti in front of people and make money , let me ! ;) ha

This. So fed up of the hatred and blaming from different sides, people are people, good and bad whatever their age. (Gen X here).

Generalizing generations is bogus at best, deceitful at worst. In diverse nations, any age cohort is non-homogenous. Family income, race, social status, location, and more, keep us from being honestly clumped together.

Yep, instead of blaming the actual people high up for the mess we're in, we are divided and bickering amongst ourselves. It's exactly what governments, super rich/elites want.

Generation X here, yet we, in the UK are being blamed for, and in particular order, for voting BREXIT, causing the climate change, not allowing younger generations on the property ladder, blamed for not getting the younger generations (I'm looking at you millennials..) well paid jobs, making it more difficult for them to get a car, blah blah blah, Christ, do you think we had it easy?? our generation never blamed boomers....

Oh my god, thank you! I feel like with the internet being very close to global now generations matter even less than ever. I've met some great people older and younger than me and I don't think of them in twrms of the year they were born in. They're just cool people who want to live tgeir lives.
