Being super rich.
Many people aspire to be rich and many people see being rich as a good trait in people.
Wist is the opposite, it sets people up against each other encourage screwing over other people. Realistically poor people are way better if being kind to reach other and working together.
But the grind mindset is imposed and the rich are idolized, they did be vilified and forced to be more humble.
Rich, I’m striving for “afloat”
That’s the point. It’s poor people need to work together, instead of the day hogs getting fatter
Clever insults rather than substantial discussion or “to cut off heads in order to appear taller,” rather than doing the work to actually be a better version of self.
Moaning about issues without putting in effort or taking any risks to correct issues.
Contrarianism. Being anti-“Popular Thing” just for the sake of being anti-“Popular Thing” marks you out as having no thoughts worth hearing out.
As somebody who was anti for a loooong time, 100% this. It’s a bad mindset, and it affects your wellbeing.
Drinking. It’s one of the more damaging drugs but it’s completely normalized because it’s legal. Even people who don’t have drinking problems per se, Ares still harming their health way more than they realize.
Loud cars. So fucking lame.
And loud motorcycles.
And the ice cream truck playing jingles. I am not a fan of people driving trucks into neighbourhoods and playing loud music to advertise.
Or motorcycles in the city.
Or motorcycles in the street in front of your house/apartment. It’s so fucking annoying.
Even worse with motorcycles. Seems like most people own motorcycles specifically for “fun” (waste fuel and make noise).
And just generally being loud. Even regular cars can be loud if you drive like an asshole.
Motorcycles I can kind of understand. Some people believe that making their cycle loud makes it more “visible” to other drivers, helping to prevent accidents. I don’t think there’s been any studies to prove this, but I can understand why people buy into it.
Yet they always wear dark colors. Hmm…
Being able to identify adult videos/actresses on sight. Like, multiple. I can understand someone having a favorite or something, but some people are like walking porn IMDBs.
Branded clothes. Why are you a walking advertisement because rappers who get paid big money to tell you that looks cool tell you to wear it? It’s all ugly anyway.
Smoking weed in the park and dropping the N bomb constantly.
Now that cigarettes are finally going away, it was nice to breathe fresh air for a bit, but it’s getting worse again. There are so many cannabis options that don’t ruin other people’s enjoyment of the outdoors, can’t smoking just go away entirely?
There’s this one bench area on our town common that permanently reeks of pot smoking. It’s outside, no one around, yet it still stinks. And it stinks enough that walking g by on the sidewalk is unpleasant.
Or that riverwalk, where we can enjoy brief experiences of nature in between all the islands of pot smoke.
Not wearing a seatbelt and not wearing a helmet.
My pet peeve is people cycling with a helmet but not doing it up. It’s so blatantly stupid- you get none of the benefits, and all of the negatives.
Loudly and intrusively hating things that other people like.
If someone likes a terrible show or movie or musician or whatever else… just let them like their thing. It’s okay to state your point if you somehow get dragged into a conversation on the merits of a given thing, but making a point of shitting on something that someone likes when they’re in no way harming you is just shitty behavior, and it’s not going to accomplish anything.
Don’t yuck other people’s yums.
The world would be a much nicer place if everyone lived like this.
Slam!
Personal transport vehicles of any type.
Bicycles?
Is a bicycle a vehicle? …are legs vehicles? Now I’m scared.
A vehicle is defined as something used to transport people and/or goods.
So yes, a bicycle is a vehicle. Arguably legs/the body are also a vehicle for you.
Weed.
But it’s a plant! It’s natural! Everything natural is harmless! Imagine regulating plants! /s
I miss when that shit was illegal. Transgender people who only want to live their lives need to be in hiding but drug addicts in denial can openly be intoxicated at work and in public, and be the worst emotional abusers possible when they’re sober.
Reading a study today saying that it’s being linked to dementia. Personally I can’t wait. I want to know what its like to be able to listen to trump without it feeling like someone is beating you in the head with a hammer.
