Women will pay 😪

Yes, yes, yes. This should be #1 of things that must stop.

It also doesn't appear to be just about celebrity status. It's how much money you have and can afford to throw at a campaign. So the "average Joe" who actually might make a bloody good leader is unlikely to ever be in the runnings.

TIL about the word promposal.

Roll on the lawsuits from grown up kids

It absolutely infuriates me to see these, "its a prank bro". No it isn't, it's harassment.

I agree, just drink and shut up :)

I would argue that we have already reached that point as significant portions of humanity are just stupid to realise what is happening and what needs to be done. We needed action 30 years ago. My son is 14 and what world is he going to experience, his kids, their kids? It deeply saddens me.

Social media has its place. I use it to keep in touch with friends and family who are all now 5000 miles away since I moved to Spain. I also use it to keep track of goings on and available services in my area here where I moved. What I DON'T use it for is a daily ego boost or "influencer" platform. It's all in how you view social media. For me it's a tool.

This!!

But.... straws 😢 I know some people won't be happy with this. I don't like excessive use of plastic either and try to avoid it. But paper straws are just gross, there's no other way for me to describe it. I need a better alternative :/

Agree no one gives a hoot. Like Jim Gaffigan said, 'I have more pics of my kids than my dad ever looked at me.'

Why would we do this? Because we are now followed by several generations whose sense of identity and worth are determined by having their very existence validated by strangers. Such narcissism is fed by the fact that people's mundane lives are so f**king bland, they actually feel the need to express an interest and "like" or "follow" someone as literally buttered some toast / had a new haircut / owns a cute cat. It's pathetic beyond belief and the more competition for attention there is, the more people are compelled to make utter prats of themselves so that they stand out from the crowd. It's sad beyond belief. But that's where we are...

I can't for the sake of me understand that sh..t, my business is MY business and i never once felt the need to share it with strangers, if it was a funny story or even something interesting or wierd lol, ok but your frikking every day ordinary little life..... Grow up.

It's so easy to record images nowadays... my work became harder, because the professionals film so much useless stuff without thinking because they have no worries about lack of tape...

My rule on filming: "Am I ever going to watch this again?" if the answer is no, there is no point filming it. (Unless it's a dashcam or security camera, at which point older footage gets deleted).

Narcissism and shallowness.

Why? Insecurity. Too many people are WAY too insecure these days. They must show everything to everyone in order to get All The Kudos.

Guess what adults? You can watch an event or be immersed in the moment without looking through your phone. YOU LOOK STUPID!

Add selfies to this. Can't stand that people are constantly taking pics of themselves. NO I don't want to know what you look like when you roll out of bed in the morning. Same with taking pics if your food. Jeez. If you want good pics go outside and take pics of nature they are much more pleasing to the eye.

Those kind of people think waaay too many are interested in their day to day boring life. Someone said that you'll never re-watch a fireworks video. Enjoy the moment people.

People filming concerts and even watching gigs through their phone's screen instead of having the experience of being present with their fellow human beings. The full often euphoric impact of a good concert is a much more powerful memory than any shaky bad sounding video that you most likely will never watch again will ever be. A great show with an artist you love will likely stay with you forever. You're not a very alert driver while texting etc on your phone either. Same thing imo.

Same

I have a simple answer to this: don't like it, don't watch it. If they're doing it for their own enjoyment and not causing harm or damage, who tf cares?

idk about this one. It's quite interesting to know how others live, and it's interesting to learn about their jobs. One day, we may just see a video about "A day in the life of a *Insert occupation here*" and realise that's the job we want.

"And we have the ability to add or remove it from the collection at our leisure, so hopefully you want it when we do."

They want everyone to know that they have a small PP.

It is allready prooving to be a mayor health problem. More and more of the ingredients are being banned because they are screwing up your lungs.

I hate how there are blue vs red states. A friend of mine had to move because her parents wanted to live in a red state. It was a rude awakening. We really aren't United after all.

And on people who are already lovely (does smh mean shaking my head, if so, smh)

I caught COVID a month or so ago. Even though I am testing negative, I still have a permanent splitting headache and cough. I have been told it could take about 6 weeks before these symptoms go away. Yes I am vaccinated and boosted

I have so many stupid little trinkets around my house. Sometimes my inner minimalist wants to trash them to make cleaning easier, but then the room looks so naked.

It was so nice back in the days when your friends and family couldn't follow you to work and visa versa

Ugh, yes. Can't we just let others be? If they're happy and they're not hurting anyone, why do people have to take offense?

…or maybe to help their own self esteem or confidence? Not everyone is social media obsessed. My husband has two because he was really uncomfortable with issues he’s had since youth. And yet, he he doesn’t have an account on a single social media site, go figure. 🙄

(edit: moved this from a reply to a comment) @Anna Banana, my wife works in IT security and I work at a place that studies this stuff. It is a bigger deal than you are articulating. It is telling when the professionals who work in network security keep as much of their life offline as possible. 15 years ago, when a company contact balked at including his work email in a registration because of what he knew from his time in the NSA, I thought he was just overreacting. Now, I understand.

When I was a kid, I’m 60 now, I yearned for a life where I could be someone else. Now, with the internet, I can see how dangerous that would have been. I feel so sorry for people who’s persona is created entirely by what they can cultivate, manipulate, and then present to the world as who they are.

Oh, don't worry, in 20 years time we are looking at $120,000 sneakers.

I believe that homework is just a failure of the educational system. Kids already spend 40h in school. They should have minimal homework or none. Imagine if most adult people needed to work 40h plus every evening and part of the weekends for free. Unpaid overtime is a problem in adults but nobody realises that thats what the schools are forcing on children as well

To be fair for most of our history most humans have been extremely uneducated. But yeah its not something good

If you really have to name your kid after a fictional character....make sure that character's arc is already over so you don't have any surprises.

Hope so

That's never going to change nor is it going to be a "regrettable" trend because it's been a thing for as long as social media has been around. 20 years ago we were chatting on message boards, 15 years ago we were all on facebook, 10 years ago everyone was on twitter...all that's going to change is who dominates what platform.

Luckily this ship is already sinking and the regrets have begun to flow.

I want to start tulip coins to see if anyone sees the irony

Just smoking anything at a young age. With all the warnings and education about the dangers to themselves and others they are inflicting their smoke on, you would think the youth today would be smarter than that now.

However I you can upgrade a worthless product and put it back on the marked in a state where it is actually useful for someone, I think it is a great idea. That is a much better solution, than constantly producing more and more stuff. So if you put in the effort of sanding down and painting an old item, why shouldn't you be allowed to sell it at a profit? You put in work, and I think that is worth paying for.
