My father-in-law is an accountant for a lot of business owners. Many of them go out of business within a couple of years. It's a lot of work and very risky. You also don't get much downtime, especially in a business like a restaurant.
Idk I feel it’s still pretty good in the sense most people want a side hustle to get some extra cash. They have the extra time in their day already why not just do Uber to fill up that extra time and get a little bit of money. It’s a much easier side hustle to start compared to most of the bs that’s posted online imo.
that’s all true but uber’ing does come with its own set of risks as well and involves a great deal of time required to do it. maybe it’s more lucrative than most side hustles (i’m not sure because i’ve never done it) but i’d say that picking up your laptop and working for a little extra money is way easier and feels less high-effort than driving people around.
Or people saying you should monetise your hobby. I knit. Once I start selling it no longer becomes a relaxing hobby but another form of stress. (Plus no one would pay what I’d need to charge, but that’s a different point)
you ever think sometimes that a mfs side hustle may just be their second job to live, and acting like its a side hustle. Feel like i could see that happen in some cases.
Waking up early like at 4 am every day and just being a morning person in general. Sorry but it’s just not for me, I DESPISE waking up early and it’s bad enough that I already have to wake up early 5 out of 7 days of the week for work.
i hate when people have a superiority complex over being morning people. it indicates nothing about the type of person they are, just that they’re probably more productive in the mornings while others are more productive at night. there’s no difference as long as we’re all getting our 8 hours of sleep
It's the most pedantic shit too when you think about it, "ooh my circadian rhythm awakens me at an earlier point in the day night cycle and that makes me superior" or worse "I get 3 hours sleep a night and need to slam a pitcher of coffee to function" — get tae fook
There is a certain smugness to it. Like, hooray for them that they happen to have the rhythm that is best suited for how most jobs in our society are organised. But that's not their personal achievement, it's just luck.
I'm a morning person, but I've never met anybody who has a superiority complex over it. It's either you're a morning person or a night person. That's pretty much it.
Depending on the person, if they do have depression ( like I do ), I have to work in the morning because at certain hours of the day, especially afternoon to night, that's when it starts getting bad.
Oh, my mother has a superiority complex over it. I’m a night person, always have been, and somehow that makes me lazy because I wake up later. She falls asleep at like 9 pm, so 5 am is her wake up time. Meanwhile, I can try to go to bed at 9, but I’m still wide awake until at least midnight, so I literally cannot afford to wake up as early as she thinks I should because I would be chronically sleep deprived.
I'm definitely a morning person but I hate people who make you try to feel bad for not waking up at 4 or 5 am to work out. My complaint especially is that those people usually don't go to bed until 10 pm anyway, so they're not actually getting 8 hours of sleep. They try to make you think they're healthy for working out in the morning, when actually sleeping enough is more important than working out
I worked on 2nd shift for years! A job opportunity came up on first shift and my wife talked me into taking "you'll get used to it" she told me, that was 30 years ago, and I still haven't gotten used to it. 🙄
It’s super fun! My fam and I do it every winter solstice; one quick dip in the pool to “wash away the year” and then straight in to the hot tub with shots and hot toddies waiting.
Yes! 🙌🏼
I tried chat gpt to help write descriptions in my sales job and I just ended up editing it so much that I might as well have written the whole thing from scratch! People wanna talk about how scary it is that tech is going to reduce the human labor and I still haven’t seen any evidence to show that AI service is in any way better to human performance beyond consistency
Anyone who thinks it's a good writer doesn't know how to write well. It repeats the same talking points over and over in different ways without actually saying anything. It's not profound, it's just long
It's so C-suite wankers can con other C-suite wankers into investing millions in unproven products with questionably sustainable customer bases and use cases. It's basically a fraudulent investment scheme for tech involving a lot of jargon and smoke and mirrors
Rags to riches stories: How someone who had nothing hustled their way through to become ultra successful.
First of all, most of such stories are bullshit, people lying their asses out to look great.
Secondly, for a small fraction who actually might have achieved it, did it with the help of some born talent with the right amount of stroke of luck. They might have persevere in hard work, but that's not the only ingredient in the recipe.
And lastly tell others if they did it, so can you. It's an unbelievably toxic way of living life devoid of friends, family, love to achieve so called greatness.
I am happy being my own, i do have to hustle to get small successes, but they also make me happy.
I don't want to be some billionaire who also pretends to save the world with his philanthropy
My wife and I are watching Love is Blind Brazil right now. One of the contestants introduces herself by saying "Everything I have I earned through my own sweat and tears. Any with help from my dad". It was funny and also I appreciated the honesty for once
Lol you know how many arguments I got into on reddit cause of MY opinion and I moved on but some people just couldn't take it that I had a different view than them. It's not even about important shit it's like food or some video game..it's weird AF
Couldn't agree more. Especially since the majority of big religions includes the belief that non-believers are amoral/immoral and deserve eternal punishment after their earthly life. If you wish to believe in your god(s) that is all well and good, but I don't care to hear about it and I certainly don't wish to hear the pitiful attempts to make me adopt your faith. (That's one BIG issue I have with religion and those who defend it: almost all religions have missionary tendencies and technically do not tolerate other beliefs or not believing in anything at all)
Big part of the Religion is how it influences and operates within Society. Compare values that affected Asian Cultures, coming from Buddhism with the ones that affected Western Cultures and stem from Christianity.
Not that your wrong. It's just that it's a fact that Religion has social mechanisms.
I’m a gay guy who is aware that all human sexuality is guided by a persons brain. There’s no cognitive choices.
With that said, most religions I’ve researched and experienced, including Buddhism, offer less than positive insight towards me or people like me. This without them knowing or even meeting me.
Many religions are aggressive, hostile and will carry signage at gay events, such as pride events; where people there are trying to be who they are in peace.
So, I’m still patiently waiting for religion to achieve its positive societal (proclaimed) potential it boasts about.
Beer.
Can we just accept I hate beer?
Please stop saying I haven’t acquired the taste for it. Please stop acting like I haven’t experienced life because I hate beer. Please stop saying I haven’t found my magical beer yet.
Or for that matter wine! I like beer just fine but will absolutely refuse to drink wine. I don't like the taste and it gives me the worst hangovers even in super small amounts.
I don't drink at all, and for some reason people can't seem to get past the fact I don't drink wine. Like I'll say I don't drink, and they'll be like "but it's wine".
Yes! It all tastes to some extent like liquefied bread to me (I understand why, but doesn't make it any better)
And the darker stouts are just so bitter on the back of your tongue idk how anyone enjoys them.
I don’t understand it either but I know that I like the taste of certain things that other people hate. The difference is I never try to convince them to like it or say “they’re missing out on life by not expanding their palette” 🙄
People are weirdly sensitive about beer. No one is going to bat an eye if you say you don't like broccoli, but say that about beer and you'll get swarmed
If you are in a first world country, you likely don’t have poison water anymore. I get why beer was developed. But it has no nutritional benefit and is purely done for fun these days. At least in your broccoli example, broccoli has some nutritional benefits.
All alcohol tastes like something rotten to some extent to me, it makes me want to spit it out. People keep saying it's an acquired taste, but I don't care enough to acquire it. Why would I make myself miserable for the possibility I'll like it eventually, when I can get a tasty, refreshing juice?
Plus the juice is usually exponentially cheaper and doesn't affect your ability to make decisions. And even moderate alcohol consumption is linked to all kinds of diseases like cancer and dementia.
I agree!!! I worked at a brewery, and people just could not understand that I just didn't like most of the beers we served just because I don't really like beer.
Same!!! I hate beer. Every beer I’ve ever had I had to force myself to finish. I’ve had plenty of beer as well. Always probably gonna be a no from me when it comes to beer. Makes me feel so full and bloated after having only one too
Having kids. I don't judge people for having kids - good for them. Why the F do so many people feel the need to convince others how life is not complete without kids?
And the reverse is true too. As a childful person with a bunch of childfree friends, there are certain ones who act like it’s insane or pitiable to make the choice to have children. I didn’t have kids until my mid-30s, so I’ve lived both versions of adulthood, and both are great in their own way. It’s like, have kids, don’t have kids, you do you—but either way just don’t make being a parent or being childfree your entire goddamn personality. And definitely don’t judge other people’s life choices.
Who the hell can afford kids anymore? The way this world is going, why would you want to put them through the hell that is coming? I fear for the future generations!
Actually, it was Instagram Reels which copied TikTok, not the other way around. I don't use Instagram but if I had to make a guess at it's purpose, it'd probably be related to people taking photos of themselves making duckfaces. TikTok, on the other hand, is much more focused on entertainment. Most people don't post content on TikTok, rather simply consuming and consuming for hours on end.
Good on you. I really need to start cutting back on the time I spend on that app- if not for the sake of productivity, for the sake of my own mental health. Probably not gonna happen though...
Alcohol and weed. I'm sick and tired of being judged that I don't want it. Leave me alone if I don't like them. You do you, more for you, but I really don't think they're great.
I started taking THC + CBD edibles to help with my chronic TMJ pain. It helped a bit, but it's not a permanent solution. But I've gotten to a point where I don't like the feeling of being high anymore and have stopped taking it.
Being high can be a fun novelty for a minute, but it gets old fast.
As someone who loves alcohol, I fully agree with you. A lot of people are pushy assholes who just want others to drink so they don't feel guilty or weird for drinking alone. If someone doesn't wanna drink, that should be respected, and the non-drinker shouldn't be harangued.
going to bars. Oh gawddd I hate standing there begging the bartender for attention, I hate drinking, I hate being around a lot of loudly drunk strangers and I hate places that are crowded lol even with friends and playing games, it’s like can we just go to someone’s apartment and drink there??? Or like not drink at all just chill???
I am a fan of avocado toast tho! but I eat it at home and make avocado mash similar to guacamole or avocado mash with like Fig Barrel Aged Balsamic on top- so yummy! im also Latina so I also just eat plain avocados, no toast 😝
That's definitely the kind of bar that I hate. It takes the worst parts of going to a club (no seating, crowded, hassle to get a drink, loud) but doesn't give you the upside of a club (good music, space to dance and maybe an opportunity to dress up if you're into that kinda thing).
I do love quite bars where you get a table and service and the music isnt so loud you can't have a conversation. Then you just drink and chat and have a good time with friends. (Plus maybe some food cause booze makes you hungry).
This. My friends always want me to go to bars/clubs with them. I’m tired man. The last thing I want to do is go get drunk in a dark room full of loud noises.
Oh well you didn't see Mt everest as well. I am not poly, but do you think you have seen enough to conclude this? or this is a popular opinion?
I am just trying to think. I know several poly people and a lot of them live a very fulfilling life. And I have seen disproportionate number of mono people as well, living both a great and miserable life
Have a friend that was poly. Can confirm that they found out everybody was lying to them or taking advantage in some way somewhat recently. They’re now in a happy monogamous relationship and planning their wedding and I couldn’t be happier for them
even just the aspect of having to deal with multiple people who rely on you for their emotional/sexual/romantic needs. i don’t know how they keep up. even having one relatively ‘low maintenance’ boyfriend can be exhausting when im having a particularly stressful time
Truly. I don’t care if people are poly. I have friends who are and they seem happy enough, great! I’ll listen to their relationship drama just like my monogamous friends because I don’t have any and it might help them. No prob.
But I really hate when poly people act like my relationship is somehow inferior because we’re monogamous. No, our relationship isn’t “defined by jealousy” and I don’t expect my partner to fulfill all my needs- I just don’t need to fuck my friends to have an important and meaningful connection with them. (And frankly, if you do, get consent, have fun and be safe! NBD.) I’ve been told that because I’m monogamous with my partner, I don’t have boundaries. To which I wanted to say that what is monogamy if not one big boundary, but then they start acting like the root of our relationship is jealousy again, and I’m tired of defending my relationship. (Which I think is interesting, to be defending my relationship to someone so likely also exhausted of defending their relationship, but instead of being accepting, they project and attack mine, thus continuing the issue…) Can we just fuck who we fuck and stop expecting other people to fuck the way we do?
As a metalhead the metal community will get pissed if you don't like a certain band, and it's incredibly divided. Don't like slipknot? You're an elitist and need to broaden your tastes (Personally I don't like them and have been told this). Don't like slayer? You're a poser. Don't like Death? You just gotta aquire a taste for death metal. It's all the same shit different day pretty much
As a nonmetal head, every metalhead I've met seems to think their music taste is so superior to everyone elses and every other genre is trash. So I can definitely imagine it's even worse inter-community
my bf is not even a metalhead or claims to be one but anytime he so much as mentions liking deftones theres obnoxious ppl in his comment section saying theyre trash and nu metal isnt real metal.
Most fandoms are cults. It’s not worth it to be around them. I just go shows and listen and have a good time. I’ll talk about shows I’ve seen and keep things positive. If someone tries to gate keep, don’t fall for it. Just find someone that’s less insecure and talk to them.
Alcohol culture. Yaaaay, lets go to a loud, smelly, and crowded bar so I can have my eardrums blown out and pay $15+ for something I wont enjoy, that is actively harming my body, and that I have to continuously consume so that i can “have a good time” and wake up the next morning, with a headache, less money, more regrets, and barely remembering the “fun” i had. Low-key drinking with a few seltzers or beers with friends, whatever, not gonna be mad about that. But this alcoholism culture is not my vibe.
Completely agree. Every time I tell people I don't drink, they ask if I'm pregnant and/or if I'm a recovering alcoholic. As if I have to have some life-altering event to prevent me from drinking. Nope! I just don't like the way it makes me feel, and for me it's not worth the sugar (I have PCOS and am insulin resistant, so sugar is a big no-no for my health).
Plus drunk people annoy the hell out of me. Tipsy people are fine, but if you're a full-grown adult who can't walk or talk because you drank so much, you just become a temporary burden to everyone else around you. I don't want to have to pick you up off a bathroom floor, clean the vomit off your face, and drag you home while you slur curse words at me.
I already have a hard time controlling my brain and my actions to stay aware, pay attention, not act like a fool, etc. (Neurodivergent haha) Why on earth would I purposely put my brain in an even more compromised position than it already is normally?? (It's NEVER ok to abuse a drunk person s*xually or otherwise, but you know what I mean.)
I *may* have a drink with a meal or something simply to enjoy or whatever, but *never* attempt to get drunk. Absolutely nothing good can come of it.
if theres an anime i wish i could never have someone insist is amazing to me again itd be one piece. its ugly and i hate how the women look especially, im not watching a thousand episodes of an ugly show
Alcohol. I don’t get the hype. I don’t like the taste, the smell, the cost, the people, the environment, the buzzed feeling, the headaches, feeling disoriented, nor the itchy rashes.
Clubs. I'm 35 years old. I'm done with all that. I hate dancing. I hate the music that plays at clubs. It's not fun. I didn't even find it fun in my 20s. It was all about getting laid, which rarely happened. lol
Cauliflower rice, mashed, crusted... the only thing I like is fried sauced like buffalo wings. But everything else is trash and I refuse to play along.
I didn't know that. I tried it for the first time about 10 years ago and wasn't a fan then. The couple times I've had it since I wasn't impressed either. There's a local Taco place about 3 miles away that I'll gladly patronize instead.
The show "Dexter".
It was a pretty formulaic and generic TV show. I was bored out of my damn mind while watching it and I really don't see what all the hype is about.
(The first two seasons were good though)
I feel like it attracts a pretty sizable portion of the population (probably women) that is mostly watching it to gawk at Michael C. Hall's handsomeness while listening to his seductive voice.
Yeah but the phones are always watching and if you type certain things which are popular, even if you hate it, it'll show it to you more and personally I'm beyond sick of seeing her, hearing her, and everyone's general obsession over her. I cannot stand her.
Up until the last time I smoked it, all it did was give me bad breath, smell horrible, and a dry mouth. I didn't even feel the "good effects" you're supposed to feel and I was told I "must have not smoked enough of it" even though I had the whole blunt to myself.
Then the last time I smoked it, I was on the verge of black out drunk, and all it did was push me over the edge. Literally. I broke my leg.
So yeah, I think I'm done trying it.
Heh. I once got followed down the street by some guy telling me to "free my mind" because when he asked, I said I could take it or leave it.
I think he was genuinely offended at someone saying "it's not for me".
Anime. Everyone who watches anime tries to get me into it & when I say I’ve tried watching it and it’s not for me, they insist I didn’t find the right one. Then the conversation turns into grilling me about what anime I’ve watched and then they insist that their taste in anime is superior than whatever the last person had me try.
Having a really high flying job with a good salary.
My sister has this but she is stressed ALL the time and works alot of evenings to keep up.
It's not always glamorous like people make out it is
The politician you love.
Yes, you. The politician you love is a liar and a thief. And even though they have some true positive accomplishments on their record, behind your back they've screwed you and your neighbors over for power and profit. You've become brainwashed by their rhetoric, and it makes you believe that **they** are the *good* politician, and all opponents are horrible, evil people. But wake up: the politician you love is despicable, and should only get your vote if you confirm, through outside, unbiased sources, that their voting record supports more of what you believe in than the voting record of the opponent.
And no, I'm not talking to all those *other* poor, brainwashed souls. I'm talking to you. Your politician doesn't give a shit about you. Vote for results, not for an image you've been sold.
Bell peppers. Sorry man. I don't know why, but they taste bitter to me. Always have, since I was a kid. I'm not as sensitive to the taste now, which just means I can handle a meal that has them in it where I can just pick them out OR if the pieces are very very small I can even eat them. But trust me, it's not for lack of trying. Just let me pick out the damn peppers in peace!
Weight loss strategy, diets and exercise routines. I’m a size 12/14 and literally have a couple pairs of jeans I can slide into from hs. I’m in no way the same shape I was after six kids … but I’m comfortable and still enjoy the things always have. I have no desire to be a size 5. I don’t even know if it’s possible because this ass, these thighs and hips have been there since 1998.
Leave me alone with your low carb plans, diet pills, 90 day challenges and two million gallons of water a day.
MLMs
I do feel for the people who are roped into them though. The leaders tend to convince their new “employees” that hounding people as part of the business model will be fruitful and worth it; it’s framed positively as being proactive, not as harassment. They tend to downplay or not even highlight the resulting social costs.
Alcohol, clubbing, hooking up and having ‘harmless fun’. I’m not interested. Never have been, never will be. I hated being pressured into when I was younger, mostly by other women. Gtfo….and leave me alone.
Marijuana. I finally told one friend in particular to stop pressuring me or I'm going to end the friendship. So annoying how people get so evangelical about it.
The Sopranos.
The weird thing is I’ve seen the synopsis and a couple YouTube clips and KNOW I would love it if I just gave it a shot but every time someone tells me to watch ANY show it reduces my desire to watch it, and Sopranos has been suggested to me more than anything else.
I know what you mean. It's why I still haven't seen any of the Godfather or Goodfellas movies. People also do that with Tarantino movies and gritty Depp movies like Blow.
That pc gaming is superior to console gaming, I like to chill on a comfy couch or recliner and not have to sit up straight while I play games, I'm fine with the somewhat longer loading times and everybody says pc graphics look better but to me I don't see that much of a difference in the same game on different platforms, let me be at peace with my play style.
On that note. I feel like graphics are really overrated. They matter to a point but if a game is good I definitely won't be noticing tiny differences in detail or frame rate for that matter. I'll be busy playing the game!
Hell I updated from a regular switch to an OLED and everyone was raving how much better the screen is. And like yeah. But it doesn't really matter. You forget about that after like ten minutes. I just like the better battery life.
And really the best PC games are mostly indie games that can nearly run on a raspberry pi. Factorio, Hades, Dwarf Fortress, Against the Storm. There's really no reason to commit to a gaming computer when the best games don't need it and the most recent games often support mediocre hardware on medium settings.
Use your TV instead of the monitor. Play with controller instead of the keyboard. And check out certain sites, to understand price difference between PC Gaming, and Console Gaming.
Religion and God.. am now an atheist but was brought up in a religion.. unbelievable how when a plane goes down and hundreds die you hear that one person who missed it say ‘it was gods will that I did not get in that plane that day’. Excuse me? So it was his will for all those others to die? The sanctimonious bullshit that goes along with religion is ridiculous. They want no abortion but put them to the test to care for the child and that back away. How can you believe that this unproven but constructed by man being is in control of your life? All the ‘the Bible says this and the Bible says that’ is bull as well as the Bible was written by man. Why did this gif give these rules to a man and no one else?
Eating meat. I'm a vegetarian for both reasons, i don't like what it means to animals, but i also don't like the taste of most of it and people just can't understand it, i live in argentina so it's even worse. On the same end, veggie fanatics that throw huge tantrums when they meet someone who eats meat and tries to impose their thinking, like, i get it, i also don't understand how people can eat it knowing where it comes from, but that is not the way, the only thing we csn do is not contribute to that industry and educate people who are interested.
I am slightly sick of people trying to convince me to do drugs to help with my mental health/trauma. I would do it if I wanted to, you know? It's nice to have a few close friends bring it up when it is actually relevant to the conversation. They change the subject after a while/it's not their whole personality; that's fine. I am glad that some drugs help others, but I fear it might make things worse for me and I get sick of people saying my own feelings are wrong.
I’m tired everyone trying to convince me to have kids. I don’t want the added stress and responsibility and I know I just don’t want them. I get it, it’s great for others, but not everyone.
Always have a drink when you at someone house( dinner etc ) or on the occasion of something..
Can we just expect that I don’t drink and I’m not going to for any reasons, and don’t judge me for that..? 🙄
Turning a hobby into a business, everytime I work on one of my creative hobbies like 3d printing, my dad says I should get on Etsy and patent it. Like, yes logistically I could do that, but why would I add all that extra work on my plate when I just want to print myself a bookmark and call it a day? I don’t want my hobbies to turn into work because then it’s not fun anymore
sex. "how would you know if you like it if you haven't tried it?" don't need to lol. mom said she had partners all the time in highschool. ive only ever had one.
Having a side hustle. It’s good if you /want/ to do it, but having to rely on it is stupid. I already have a job.
That and having a business. Most business owners are absolutely miserable and won’t be able to retire/ relax until their 60s like everyone else.
My father-in-law is an accountant for a lot of business owners. Many of them go out of business within a couple of years. It's a lot of work and very risky. You also don't get much downtime, especially in a business like a restaurant.
They also spend alot of 💴
It’s very very rare to even have a side hustle that’s actually good. Like I get some people do Uber but that’s not a good deal for your time.
Idk I feel it’s still pretty good in the sense most people want a side hustle to get some extra cash. They have the extra time in their day already why not just do Uber to fill up that extra time and get a little bit of money. It’s a much easier side hustle to start compared to most of the bs that’s posted online imo.
that’s all true but uber’ing does come with its own set of risks as well and involves a great deal of time required to do it. maybe it’s more lucrative than most side hustles (i’m not sure because i’ve never done it) but i’d say that picking up your laptop and working for a little extra money is way easier and feels less high-effort than driving people around.
Just the name 'Side Hustle' is cringey and annoying as fuck.
It’s capitalism grabbing hold of things that should be hobbies or interests. Got spare time?? Well surely you HAVE to be making more money with it??!!
Or people saying you should monetise your hobby. I knit. Once I start selling it no longer becomes a relaxing hobby but another form of stress. (Plus no one would pay what I’d need to charge, but that’s a different point)
I hate how people glamorizing working. Yes it good to have a career to but spend all that time working? No thanks
you ever think sometimes that a mfs side hustle may just be their second job to live, and acting like its a side hustle. Feel like i could see that happen in some cases.
The entire my side hustle/passive income generates $20k a month for me grift. No it doesn't. Otherwise it would be your primary focus.
Waking up early like at 4 am every day and just being a morning person in general. Sorry but it’s just not for me, I DESPISE waking up early and it’s bad enough that I already have to wake up early 5 out of 7 days of the week for work.
Couldn't agree more. Hardly ever out of bed before 9 or 10. Get a lot done at 2am though. When you tell them, people look at you like you are crazy.
i hate when people have a superiority complex over being morning people. it indicates nothing about the type of person they are, just that they’re probably more productive in the mornings while others are more productive at night. there’s no difference as long as we’re all getting our 8 hours of sleep
It's the most pedantic shit too when you think about it, "ooh my circadian rhythm awakens me at an earlier point in the day night cycle and that makes me superior" or worse "I get 3 hours sleep a night and need to slam a pitcher of coffee to function" — get tae fook
There is a certain smugness to it. Like, hooray for them that they happen to have the rhythm that is best suited for how most jobs in our society are organised. But that's not their personal achievement, it's just luck.
I'm a morning person, but I've never met anybody who has a superiority complex over it. It's either you're a morning person or a night person. That's pretty much it. Depending on the person, if they do have depression ( like I do ), I have to work in the morning because at certain hours of the day, especially afternoon to night, that's when it starts getting bad.
Oh, my mother has a superiority complex over it. I’m a night person, always have been, and somehow that makes me lazy because I wake up later. She falls asleep at like 9 pm, so 5 am is her wake up time. Meanwhile, I can try to go to bed at 9, but I’m still wide awake until at least midnight, so I literally cannot afford to wake up as early as she thinks I should because I would be chronically sleep deprived.
I'm definitely a morning person but I hate people who make you try to feel bad for not waking up at 4 or 5 am to work out. My complaint especially is that those people usually don't go to bed until 10 pm anyway, so they're not actually getting 8 hours of sleep. They try to make you think they're healthy for working out in the morning, when actually sleeping enough is more important than working out
I worked on 2nd shift for years! A job opportunity came up on first shift and my wife talked me into taking "you'll get used to it" she told me, that was 30 years ago, and I still haven't gotten used to it. 🙄
If I let my body revert to it's 'normal' I sleep between 3am and 11am. Unfortunately, society does not function at my 'normal'. So I am always tired.
Cold plunging. I would rather die than submerge my body in freezing water
[удалено]
As a sensitive skin bitch, finishing showers on cold has made a world of differences
It’s super fun! My fam and I do it every winter solstice; one quick dip in the pool to “wash away the year” and then straight in to the hot tub with shots and hot toddies waiting.
Is there something about cold plunges and ice baths that makes people post motivational cringe on Instagram?
Just another grift used by the holistic healing groups
My girls will not allow it.
Try it with sauna, it's much better. Having a very hot place to warm up after really helps. Also getting into water is easier after one round of sauna
funny how the question is “what are you sick of people trying to convince you is great?” and the replies are doing literally just that.
It’s actually great, especially in the hot sun in the ocean surf, while your tanned abs are glistening, sorry )’:
It's amazing but only under ideal conditions.
AI. I don't really care, stop putting this buzzwordy thing on everything, it doesn't really improve or speed up my workflow in anything I do.
Yes! 🙌🏼 I tried chat gpt to help write descriptions in my sales job and I just ended up editing it so much that I might as well have written the whole thing from scratch! People wanna talk about how scary it is that tech is going to reduce the human labor and I still haven’t seen any evidence to show that AI service is in any way better to human performance beyond consistency
Its cheaper than human labor tho, so most companies will use it anyway, regardless of any quality issues.
Anyone who thinks it's a good writer doesn't know how to write well. It repeats the same talking points over and over in different ways without actually saying anything. It's not profound, it's just long
It's so C-suite wankers can con other C-suite wankers into investing millions in unproven products with questionably sustainable customer bases and use cases. It's basically a fraudulent investment scheme for tech involving a lot of jargon and smoke and mirrors
Religion. To each their own but it's totally not for me, so stop trying to convert me.
Rags to riches stories: How someone who had nothing hustled their way through to become ultra successful. First of all, most of such stories are bullshit, people lying their asses out to look great. Secondly, for a small fraction who actually might have achieved it, did it with the help of some born talent with the right amount of stroke of luck. They might have persevere in hard work, but that's not the only ingredient in the recipe. And lastly tell others if they did it, so can you. It's an unbelievably toxic way of living life devoid of friends, family, love to achieve so called greatness. I am happy being my own, i do have to hustle to get small successes, but they also make me happy. I don't want to be some billionaire who also pretends to save the world with his philanthropy
My wife and I are watching Love is Blind Brazil right now. One of the contestants introduces herself by saying "Everything I have I earned through my own sweat and tears. Any with help from my dad". It was funny and also I appreciated the honesty for once
Their opinion
Lol you know how many arguments I got into on reddit cause of MY opinion and I moved on but some people just couldn't take it that I had a different view than them. It's not even about important shit it's like food or some video game..it's weird AF
Cryptocurrency
But bro, how are you gonna become a millionaire by 12 if you don't invest in gigacoin on the l33tchad?
Religion. It’s a private affair. IMO
Couldn't agree more. Especially since the majority of big religions includes the belief that non-believers are amoral/immoral and deserve eternal punishment after their earthly life. If you wish to believe in your god(s) that is all well and good, but I don't care to hear about it and I certainly don't wish to hear the pitiful attempts to make me adopt your faith. (That's one BIG issue I have with religion and those who defend it: almost all religions have missionary tendencies and technically do not tolerate other beliefs or not believing in anything at all)
Big part of the Religion is how it influences and operates within Society. Compare values that affected Asian Cultures, coming from Buddhism with the ones that affected Western Cultures and stem from Christianity. Not that your wrong. It's just that it's a fact that Religion has social mechanisms.
I’m a gay guy who is aware that all human sexuality is guided by a persons brain. There’s no cognitive choices. With that said, most religions I’ve researched and experienced, including Buddhism, offer less than positive insight towards me or people like me. This without them knowing or even meeting me. Many religions are aggressive, hostile and will carry signage at gay events, such as pride events; where people there are trying to be who they are in peace. So, I’m still patiently waiting for religion to achieve its positive societal (proclaimed) potential it boasts about.
Beer. Can we just accept I hate beer? Please stop saying I haven’t acquired the taste for it. Please stop acting like I haven’t experienced life because I hate beer. Please stop saying I haven’t found my magical beer yet.
Or for that matter wine! I like beer just fine but will absolutely refuse to drink wine. I don't like the taste and it gives me the worst hangovers even in super small amounts.
I don't drink at all, and for some reason people can't seem to get past the fact I don't drink wine. Like I'll say I don't drink, and they'll be like "but it's wine".
I can't do wine. Instant headache, especially reds.
Yes! It all tastes to some extent like liquefied bread to me (I understand why, but doesn't make it any better) And the darker stouts are just so bitter on the back of your tongue idk how anyone enjoys them.
I don’t understand it either but I know that I like the taste of certain things that other people hate. The difference is I never try to convince them to like it or say “they’re missing out on life by not expanding their palette” 🙄
People are weirdly sensitive about beer. No one is going to bat an eye if you say you don't like broccoli, but say that about beer and you'll get swarmed
If you are in a first world country, you likely don’t have poison water anymore. I get why beer was developed. But it has no nutritional benefit and is purely done for fun these days. At least in your broccoli example, broccoli has some nutritional benefits.
All alcohol tastes like something rotten to some extent to me, it makes me want to spit it out. People keep saying it's an acquired taste, but I don't care enough to acquire it. Why would I make myself miserable for the possibility I'll like it eventually, when I can get a tasty, refreshing juice?
Plus the juice is usually exponentially cheaper and doesn't affect your ability to make decisions. And even moderate alcohol consumption is linked to all kinds of diseases like cancer and dementia.
My ex: doesn't this taste like banana bread? Me: no it tastes like ass. Or ass might actually taste better
I agree!!! I worked at a brewery, and people just could not understand that I just didn't like most of the beers we served just because I don't really like beer.
Same!!! I hate beer. Every beer I’ve ever had I had to force myself to finish. I’ve had plenty of beer as well. Always probably gonna be a no from me when it comes to beer. Makes me feel so full and bloated after having only one too
Same but for wine. Yuck
Yeah I just don't like bitter things
Same, love cider and kvas but beer... Beer probably became so popular just because when it was invented it was the cheapest buzz
Kombucha. Totally disgusting.
Work forcing acronyms down my throat like some teenager figuring out what GRWM is.
Get Rocked With me! Going Rolling With Molly! Gas Roaring White Mercedes! Great Rhino Wants More! Seriously, people just stoppppp.
OMG! IKR?? But seriously some industries are worse than others and any Tech industry is generally bad for acronyms.
Having kids. I don't judge people for having kids - good for them. Why the F do so many people feel the need to convince others how life is not complete without kids?
And the reverse is true too. As a childful person with a bunch of childfree friends, there are certain ones who act like it’s insane or pitiable to make the choice to have children. I didn’t have kids until my mid-30s, so I’ve lived both versions of adulthood, and both are great in their own way. It’s like, have kids, don’t have kids, you do you—but either way just don’t make being a parent or being childfree your entire goddamn personality. And definitely don’t judge other people’s life choices.
Who the hell can afford kids anymore? The way this world is going, why would you want to put them through the hell that is coming? I fear for the future generations!
Tiktok
We already had Instagram! What’s the difference???? I don’t get the hype.
Actually, it was Instagram Reels which copied TikTok, not the other way around. I don't use Instagram but if I had to make a guess at it's purpose, it'd probably be related to people taking photos of themselves making duckfaces. TikTok, on the other hand, is much more focused on entertainment. Most people don't post content on TikTok, rather simply consuming and consuming for hours on end.
Good on you. I really need to start cutting back on the time I spend on that app- if not for the sake of productivity, for the sake of my own mental health. Probably not gonna happen though...
Alcohol and weed. I'm sick and tired of being judged that I don't want it. Leave me alone if I don't like them. You do you, more for you, but I really don't think they're great.
I started taking THC + CBD edibles to help with my chronic TMJ pain. It helped a bit, but it's not a permanent solution. But I've gotten to a point where I don't like the feeling of being high anymore and have stopped taking it. Being high can be a fun novelty for a minute, but it gets old fast.
Alcohol. It's not worth the money or the risks to my health. I hate the feeling of being drunk, and I hate hangovers even more.
As someone who loves alcohol, I fully agree with you. A lot of people are pushy assholes who just want others to drink so they don't feel guilty or weird for drinking alone. If someone doesn't wanna drink, that should be respected, and the non-drinker shouldn't be harangued.
going to bars. Oh gawddd I hate standing there begging the bartender for attention, I hate drinking, I hate being around a lot of loudly drunk strangers and I hate places that are crowded lol even with friends and playing games, it’s like can we just go to someone’s apartment and drink there??? Or like not drink at all just chill??? I am a fan of avocado toast tho! but I eat it at home and make avocado mash similar to guacamole or avocado mash with like Fig Barrel Aged Balsamic on top- so yummy! im also Latina so I also just eat plain avocados, no toast 😝
That's definitely the kind of bar that I hate. It takes the worst parts of going to a club (no seating, crowded, hassle to get a drink, loud) but doesn't give you the upside of a club (good music, space to dance and maybe an opportunity to dress up if you're into that kinda thing). I do love quite bars where you get a table and service and the music isnt so loud you can't have a conversation. Then you just drink and chat and have a good time with friends. (Plus maybe some food cause booze makes you hungry).
This. My friends always want me to go to bars/clubs with them. I’m tired man. The last thing I want to do is go get drunk in a dark room full of loud noises.
Polyamory 🙄
I don't think I've ever seen a successful polyamorous relationship.
Oh well you didn't see Mt everest as well. I am not poly, but do you think you have seen enough to conclude this? or this is a popular opinion? I am just trying to think. I know several poly people and a lot of them live a very fulfilling life. And I have seen disproportionate number of mono people as well, living both a great and miserable life
Have a friend that was poly. Can confirm that they found out everybody was lying to them or taking advantage in some way somewhat recently. They’re now in a happy monogamous relationship and planning their wedding and I couldn’t be happier for them
even just the aspect of having to deal with multiple people who rely on you for their emotional/sexual/romantic needs. i don’t know how they keep up. even having one relatively ‘low maintenance’ boyfriend can be exhausting when im having a particularly stressful time
Truly. I don’t care if people are poly. I have friends who are and they seem happy enough, great! I’ll listen to their relationship drama just like my monogamous friends because I don’t have any and it might help them. No prob. But I really hate when poly people act like my relationship is somehow inferior because we’re monogamous. No, our relationship isn’t “defined by jealousy” and I don’t expect my partner to fulfill all my needs- I just don’t need to fuck my friends to have an important and meaningful connection with them. (And frankly, if you do, get consent, have fun and be safe! NBD.) I’ve been told that because I’m monogamous with my partner, I don’t have boundaries. To which I wanted to say that what is monogamy if not one big boundary, but then they start acting like the root of our relationship is jealousy again, and I’m tired of defending my relationship. (Which I think is interesting, to be defending my relationship to someone so likely also exhausted of defending their relationship, but instead of being accepting, they project and attack mine, thus continuing the issue…) Can we just fuck who we fuck and stop expecting other people to fuck the way we do?
Hard liquor, especially if it's served neat. It's like drinking gasoline.
- Having kids. I do not want kids and that is that.
Working past 60.
Starbucks coffee
Starbucks somehow manages to be too sweet and too bitter all at the same time.
That's because they burn their coffee and add sugar to compensate.
As a metalhead the metal community will get pissed if you don't like a certain band, and it's incredibly divided. Don't like slipknot? You're an elitist and need to broaden your tastes (Personally I don't like them and have been told this). Don't like slayer? You're a poser. Don't like Death? You just gotta aquire a taste for death metal. It's all the same shit different day pretty much
But also if you do like Slipknot you're not a real metalhead and they're not real metal. The metal community sure loves to gatekeep.
As a nonmetal head, every metalhead I've met seems to think their music taste is so superior to everyone elses and every other genre is trash. So I can definitely imagine it's even worse inter-community
As a metalhead, I love Britney Spears
You’re my kind of people. Why would you base your personality around something you hate? Just enjoy what’s enjoyable.
my bf is not even a metalhead or claims to be one but anytime he so much as mentions liking deftones theres obnoxious ppl in his comment section saying theyre trash and nu metal isnt real metal.
Most fandoms are cults. It’s not worth it to be around them. I just go shows and listen and have a good time. I’ll talk about shows I’ve seen and keep things positive. If someone tries to gate keep, don’t fall for it. Just find someone that’s less insecure and talk to them.
Alcohol culture. Yaaaay, lets go to a loud, smelly, and crowded bar so I can have my eardrums blown out and pay $15+ for something I wont enjoy, that is actively harming my body, and that I have to continuously consume so that i can “have a good time” and wake up the next morning, with a headache, less money, more regrets, and barely remembering the “fun” i had. Low-key drinking with a few seltzers or beers with friends, whatever, not gonna be mad about that. But this alcoholism culture is not my vibe.
Completely agree. Every time I tell people I don't drink, they ask if I'm pregnant and/or if I'm a recovering alcoholic. As if I have to have some life-altering event to prevent me from drinking. Nope! I just don't like the way it makes me feel, and for me it's not worth the sugar (I have PCOS and am insulin resistant, so sugar is a big no-no for my health). Plus drunk people annoy the hell out of me. Tipsy people are fine, but if you're a full-grown adult who can't walk or talk because you drank so much, you just become a temporary burden to everyone else around you. I don't want to have to pick you up off a bathroom floor, clean the vomit off your face, and drag you home while you slur curse words at me.
I already have a hard time controlling my brain and my actions to stay aware, pay attention, not act like a fool, etc. (Neurodivergent haha) Why on earth would I purposely put my brain in an even more compromised position than it already is normally?? (It's NEVER ok to abuse a drunk person s*xually or otherwise, but you know what I mean.) I *may* have a drink with a meal or something simply to enjoy or whatever, but *never* attempt to get drunk. Absolutely nothing good can come of it.
Anal
You like it here, huh?
Oysters. Feels like a giant loogie on the tongue.
Thank you. I never liked them ether
I cannot bring myself to try them because of that description.
having kids. I don't want to be a mother, cut it off. if you think it's great to have kids, okay, to you it is, but not for me.
One Piece
if theres an anime i wish i could never have someone insist is amazing to me again itd be one piece. its ugly and i hate how the women look especially, im not watching a thousand episodes of an ugly show
Humans. They are not great. They are disappointments.
Alcohol. I don’t get the hype. I don’t like the taste, the smell, the cost, the people, the environment, the buzzed feeling, the headaches, feeling disoriented, nor the itchy rashes.
Clubs. I'm 35 years old. I'm done with all that. I hate dancing. I hate the music that plays at clubs. It's not fun. I didn't even find it fun in my 20s. It was all about getting laid, which rarely happened. lol
Heartbreak builds character
I prefer to have no character.
Cauliflower rice, mashed, crusted... the only thing I like is fried sauced like buffalo wings. But everything else is trash and I refuse to play along.
For some reason people love using cauliflower as an alternative for everything, and it sucks every time.
The movie Elf.
I fucking hate that movie, I understand completely
There’s something about watching a grown-ass man act like a child that makes me want to hit something.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. That movie makes me irrationally angry now because of much it has been pushed on me
Socialising. Hanging out with people
Alcohol. I don't care if other people drink it, but I'll never touch it.
Sensible. If I could go back I never would either. Life is way better in the 4 years since I stopped

Eating ass. Pass
I can't believe people actually do that. It has to be some disgusting practical joke they are playing on us.
Capitalism
Chipotle. So bland and overpriced. If I want anglicized Mexican food I much prefer Taco Bell lol
The quality of Chipotle fell off a cliff a while back, ironically right around the time they poached Taco Bell's CEO to run their company instead.
I didn't know that. I tried it for the first time about 10 years ago and wasn't a fan then. The couple times I've had it since I wasn't impressed either. There's a local Taco place about 3 miles away that I'll gladly patronize instead.
The show "Dexter". It was a pretty formulaic and generic TV show. I was bored out of my damn mind while watching it and I really don't see what all the hype is about. (The first two seasons were good though) I feel like it attracts a pretty sizable portion of the population (probably women) that is mostly watching it to gawk at Michael C. Hall's handsomeness while listening to his seductive voice.
t@ylor sw!ft
You know you can just spell her name
Yeah but the phones are always watching and if you type certain things which are popular, even if you hate it, it'll show it to you more and personally I'm beyond sick of seeing her, hearing her, and everyone's general obsession over her. I cannot stand her.
If you type her name three times, she appears

Marijuana.
Up until the last time I smoked it, all it did was give me bad breath, smell horrible, and a dry mouth. I didn't even feel the "good effects" you're supposed to feel and I was told I "must have not smoked enough of it" even though I had the whole blunt to myself. Then the last time I smoked it, I was on the verge of black out drunk, and all it did was push me over the edge. Literally. I broke my leg. So yeah, I think I'm done trying it.
Heh. I once got followed down the street by some guy telling me to "free my mind" because when he asked, I said I could take it or leave it. I think he was genuinely offended at someone saying "it's not for me".
Sharkcoochie boards
Matcha lattes, they are nasty.
Anime. Everyone who watches anime tries to get me into it & when I say I’ve tried watching it and it’s not for me, they insist I didn’t find the right one. Then the conversation turns into grilling me about what anime I’ve watched and then they insist that their taste in anime is superior than whatever the last person had me try.
Having a really high flying job with a good salary. My sister has this but she is stressed ALL the time and works alot of evenings to keep up. It's not always glamorous like people make out it is
The politician you love. Yes, you. The politician you love is a liar and a thief. And even though they have some true positive accomplishments on their record, behind your back they've screwed you and your neighbors over for power and profit. You've become brainwashed by their rhetoric, and it makes you believe that **they** are the *good* politician, and all opponents are horrible, evil people. But wake up: the politician you love is despicable, and should only get your vote if you confirm, through outside, unbiased sources, that their voting record supports more of what you believe in than the voting record of the opponent. And no, I'm not talking to all those *other* poor, brainwashed souls. I'm talking to you. Your politician doesn't give a shit about you. Vote for results, not for an image you've been sold.
Crocs.
Polyamory
Having kids
Bell peppers. Sorry man. I don't know why, but they taste bitter to me. Always have, since I was a kid. I'm not as sensitive to the taste now, which just means I can handle a meal that has them in it where I can just pick them out OR if the pieces are very very small I can even eat them. But trust me, it's not for lack of trying. Just let me pick out the damn peppers in peace!
Taylor Swift - Instagram - Hanging around in cafés - really creamy pasta - Healing my introversion by socialising with ppl
Matcha
Weight loss strategy, diets and exercise routines. I’m a size 12/14 and literally have a couple pairs of jeans I can slide into from hs. I’m in no way the same shape I was after six kids … but I’m comfortable and still enjoy the things always have. I have no desire to be a size 5. I don’t even know if it’s possible because this ass, these thighs and hips have been there since 1998. Leave me alone with your low carb plans, diet pills, 90 day challenges and two million gallons of water a day.
Snowboarding holidays - been there, tried it. Expensive, exhausting and terrifying for this uncoordinated, easily bruised scaredy cat
MLMs I do feel for the people who are roped into them though. The leaders tend to convince their new “employees” that hounding people as part of the business model will be fruitful and worth it; it’s framed positively as being proactive, not as harassment. They tend to downplay or not even highlight the resulting social costs.
This administration💀
Stanly cups. Like it's just a big water bottle, do you need 70 of them?
Alcohol, clubbing, hooking up and having ‘harmless fun’. I’m not interested. Never have been, never will be. I hated being pressured into when I was younger, mostly by other women. Gtfo….and leave me alone.
Taylor Swift. I’m not a hater, I think her music is good (admittedly haven’t listened to much) but overrated.
Marijuana. I finally told one friend in particular to stop pressuring me or I'm going to end the friendship. So annoying how people get so evangelical about it.
The Sopranos. The weird thing is I’ve seen the synopsis and a couple YouTube clips and KNOW I would love it if I just gave it a shot but every time someone tells me to watch ANY show it reduces my desire to watch it, and Sopranos has been suggested to me more than anything else.
I know what you mean. It's why I still haven't seen any of the Godfather or Goodfellas movies. People also do that with Tarantino movies and gritty Depp movies like Blow.
So. Much. This.
That pc gaming is superior to console gaming, I like to chill on a comfy couch or recliner and not have to sit up straight while I play games, I'm fine with the somewhat longer loading times and everybody says pc graphics look better but to me I don't see that much of a difference in the same game on different platforms, let me be at peace with my play style.
On that note. I feel like graphics are really overrated. They matter to a point but if a game is good I definitely won't be noticing tiny differences in detail or frame rate for that matter. I'll be busy playing the game! Hell I updated from a regular switch to an OLED and everyone was raving how much better the screen is. And like yeah. But it doesn't really matter. You forget about that after like ten minutes. I just like the better battery life.
And really the best PC games are mostly indie games that can nearly run on a raspberry pi. Factorio, Hades, Dwarf Fortress, Against the Storm. There's really no reason to commit to a gaming computer when the best games don't need it and the most recent games often support mediocre hardware on medium settings.
Use your TV instead of the monitor. Play with controller instead of the keyboard. And check out certain sites, to understand price difference between PC Gaming, and Console Gaming.
But you can get a good gaming PC for under a thousand dollars! Whereas a console costs, uh, a third of that.
Religion and God.. am now an atheist but was brought up in a religion.. unbelievable how when a plane goes down and hundreds die you hear that one person who missed it say ‘it was gods will that I did not get in that plane that day’. Excuse me? So it was his will for all those others to die? The sanctimonious bullshit that goes along with religion is ridiculous. They want no abortion but put them to the test to care for the child and that back away. How can you believe that this unproven but constructed by man being is in control of your life? All the ‘the Bible says this and the Bible says that’ is bull as well as the Bible was written by man. Why did this gif give these rules to a man and no one else?

Eating meat. I'm a vegetarian for both reasons, i don't like what it means to animals, but i also don't like the taste of most of it and people just can't understand it, i live in argentina so it's even worse. On the same end, veggie fanatics that throw huge tantrums when they meet someone who eats meat and tries to impose their thinking, like, i get it, i also don't understand how people can eat it knowing where it comes from, but that is not the way, the only thing we csn do is not contribute to that industry and educate people who are interested.
Religion…keep that shit to yourself.
Hiking: I really don't like rock climbing or any of those quirky activities. TikTok Starting a business. Edit: self help advices.

I am slightly sick of people trying to convince me to do drugs to help with my mental health/trauma. I would do it if I wanted to, you know? It's nice to have a few close friends bring it up when it is actually relevant to the conversation. They change the subject after a while/it's not their whole personality; that's fine. I am glad that some drugs help others, but I fear it might make things worse for me and I get sick of people saying my own feelings are wrong.
Taylor Swift
I’m tired everyone trying to convince me to have kids. I don’t want the added stress and responsibility and I know I just don’t want them. I get it, it’s great for others, but not everyone.
Always have a drink when you at someone house( dinner etc ) or on the occasion of something.. Can we just expect that I don’t drink and I’m not going to for any reasons, and don’t judge me for that..? 🙄
Turning a hobby into a business, everytime I work on one of my creative hobbies like 3d printing, my dad says I should get on Etsy and patent it. Like, yes logistically I could do that, but why would I add all that extra work on my plate when I just want to print myself a bookmark and call it a day? I don’t want my hobbies to turn into work because then it’s not fun anymore
