Hell, I'll take a well constructed argument nowadays.

Before cell phones, if someone didn't answer the phone we'd just say, "Oh, they're not home," and that was normal. Nowadays, I wish it was just as normal to say, "Oh, they're not answering their phone," and just leave it at that.

US: standardized test scores are tied to funding, so no time for skill development (either manual or critical thinking). Kids learn that life is only about obedience to ham-fisted metrics analysis.

Obviously not old enough to remember 'ghetto blasters' (yup, REALLY called that) These were extremely large radio cassettes with big speakers played at full volume everywhere from the 70s onwards until personal stereos became a thing. Before that it was 'portable wireless radios' These go back to the early 60s. Again, people have ALWAYS been a******s..

We NEED to bring back home economics and wood shop as required classes in high school or middle school for ALL students. This would help so many young adults get their first steps in basic life skills.

Same with concerts. I don't understand how people can't just watch a concert and enjoy it. Does anyone ever go back and watch their phone footage anyway?

Wall Street investors have been buying up housing all over the country just to make money on excessive rents and the tight housing market, which they contributed to making.

Being stood up or ditched on a date are as old as dating itself, but the RSVP was a contract that could only be violated at the peril of never receiving any future invitations

It's still very normal where I am.

Too damned many companies jumping on the product as a service bandwagon and it needs to stop. For instance, you pay (typically dearly) for a option on your new car, but you then need to pay a fee/subscription to use it? Not in this world, that's absurd.

I just respect people who don't have it. I wish I could quit it

Glad I no longer use Facebook, it made me miserable

I can proudly say I haven't had social media accounts since MySpace. No FB, Insta, Snap....nada....and I love not having that self-created drama in my life.

I find social media stupid. I just stick to Gmail and google chat, then only people who have my gmail can contact me.

I guess I'm a huge red flag. I ditched ALL forms of "social media" 5 years ago. Then 3 years ago, I ditched my cell phone. I have an email address that I check twice a day and I have ZERO regrets. 🚩

I have been called weird many times when I have asked what certain websites were, I remember asking what Snapchat was and the other kids probably thought I was stupid

Purging my phone of all social media is the best thing I ever did for myself.

It's easier to call it a "red flag" than admit there is something wrong with the people who document their entire lives on it. I record all my videod my myself and my family- never for social media. I have thousands, and I have maybe posted 5? But sure, I'm the abnormal one.

I only have Instagram for my school, and none of my (very limited - BP, Instagram, and I guess Discord counts.) social media accounts are linked to my real name anywhere. If you don't know me IRL, you're not gonna be able to find me.

Try not watching commercial TV for over 30 years! No mind pollution and poisonous ads, bad language and being lied to. I don't own a phone for the same reasons. My brain is free of the evil of insecurity.

The real losers are always on social media

I dont see this at all. BP is as close as I get to social media and zero people care.

I quit Twitter 8 or 10 months ago. The improvements to my mental health have been remarkable.

I don't like social media, it's weird and annoying and too much social stuff

I only have Pinterest, YouTube, DeviantArt, and bored panda as my socials

I find it highly amusing when certain newspapers online run articles about how a certain social media site are doing X,Y, Z and it is wrong for them to do it only then to have a link on their page asking you to share or join them on the social media site the story is about!

I would be very honored and proud to have one or more red flags for not being on social media.

The only social media I have anymore is Instagram and even then, I barely use it.

I only have Facebook and YouTube. I don't have the energy for Instagram or snapchat or whatever else there is. I can only keep up with so much.

Bored Panda is a type of social media site. Is it not?

I'm not connected to any social media platform and I don't want to. In my free time I can do lots of things, without being stuck in front of the cellphone learning about my friend's dog's farts.

Red flag, watch for the bull

I comment more in here than I do social media... (I consider this more humor)

BP is my social media.

I realized way back in 2010s that so called social media was just a marketing scam to steal personal info & deleted all my accounts accept YouTube so I can still post my concert recordings for Everyone to hear!

I have it, but it's private and my followers are under ten. It's for my non-local friends.

Born in 91 and I've never had Facebook or Twitter or anything. I honestly don't care what my old classmates are doing and if their dog passed a kidney stone. It's just as fake as reality tv.

Red flag me up! I meet a lot of older people that aren't on social media or gave it up. The younger generations seem to take longer to realize how toxic it is. Although there r plenty of older people that don't realize it too. I know. :)

If someone doesn’t have Snapchat, I consider that the greenest green flag tbh

I got off of social media about six years ago and I haven't missed it at all. I find I like people more when I don't know every curated detail of their lives, their beliefs and opinions. I don't want to see the scars from your back surgery. Don't care that you went to the gym. And you aren't the first person to visit a restaurant. Just eat your food. No one is that interesting. I know I'm not. Remember: When you are on social media you are a product. It's designed to learn as much about you so possible then you are sold to advertisers.

Put your phone directly wn and read a book.

I don't have social media anymore, for like 2 years now. I don't miss it at all
