Taylor Swift. She’s cute I guess but her music is the audio equivalent of a lukewarm stale glass of milk.
Comment of the day award
Isn’t that true for almost all of pop music? It’s intended to be aggressively meh.
I think she’s definitely a cut above your average pop singer just from sheer popularity, and most of her stuff isn’t bad but she definitely isn’t a super strong songwriter.
My coworkers love her because “She’s a storyteller!”
I can think of many bands that do the same thing without making aggressively mid music while doing so.
Watching sports/sports fandom. I just dont give a fuck about sportsball in any way shape or form.
On a similar note, video game streams
Going to bars. I can’t drink with my medications and I don’t like going to loud, social places unless there’s some other reason to be there.
You would like pubs.
Really depends on the pub, probably? I’ve never been to one that I liked they were all super noisy.
Instagram. I have no interest in taking pictures or sharing things regularly. All the content looks so boring I don’t get the appeal. Even on an interesting post the comments are borderline spam fire emojis and people saying let’s go.
It’s used to be just a way to share photos with family and friends, those days are long gone, it’s just ads and fuckwits.
Watching 2 girls 1 cup
it’s an acquired taste
Live tv. I just can’t watch with all the stupid pop culture commercials.
Live TV is great. I have a live feed of a stork nest in the background, and you get to see it feed its chicks, teach them to fly, and murder a few depending on mood.
Hahah ! ahhhh… parents, right ? 🤗
Oh inmeant like daily tv channels… where people watch need sitcoms and such. Just your average tv stuff…abc, cbs, Fox etc.
Probably Twitter.
Dating myself here but, DOTA.
Found a fan of Big Game Hunters, have we?
Driving. If it’s far enough away, I can ask for a ride. If it’s any closer, I can walk. Most things I can walk to. I don’t trust myself behind the wheel and don’t feel comfortable contributing to the damage done by vehicles.
I don’t think driving’s really an activity that people get into, except in a small percentage of enthusiasts. Most people just drive because it’s less inconvenient than the alternatives.
I’m going to be honest. I’d be really annoyed if somebody kept asking me for a ride because they don’t want to be a driver. I also hate driving but it’s necessary where I live for most cases.
Hopefully you’re taking the inconvenience to others into account when asking for a ride to places.
Dating.
I don’t see the point to it, faking that you like someone so your friends and family approve.I feel like you might have some things to work out if you think that’s what dating is supposed to be.
That isn’t why you date. You date until you find someone you genuinely like.
Watching TV with someone with your head in their lap. Someone to laugh at your bad jokes. Someone to steal your arm at night and use you as an extra blanket. Making breakfast in bed, travelling and bickering over minor things, watching a sunset together.
I miss you Eli
It’s a good concentrate of the good things. I’m sorry you lost your Eli
Football (soccer for Muricans), both as a participant and as a spectator.
I don’t understand how you pick a team if you werent born in an area with a team. Like, as a New Zealander, how can I get excited for a premiere league team that I essentially pick at random?
Just pick one. Or don’t. It’s okay to be a fan of the sport. Formula One is a good example. A lot do people have a favorite driver or team, I generally just enjoy the whole thing.
Watching tiktok. I do not get the addiction it provide, but people around me, young and old, has been glued to it.
It really was excellent in its infancy, once you’d honed your algorithm. Some of the funniest, sharpest content on the internet at the time, with a really tight knit in-joke machine - reminiscent of early internet communities. It boomered up and burnt out, but there was certainly a spark there.
Watching TV series’s. As a maker, I really just went to be making stuff all the time, and having to sit and dedicate my time to watching a show really does not interest me. I do like watching longform Nebula content while I’m doing other things though, like Philosophy Tube or Jet Lag: The Game. I also like reading books, just not tv or movies most of the time
Same for me and gaming. Thing is, I love games and always will, but I just don’t have time in my day for it. Solution? Wait a year, read reviews of 1 or 2 best games of the year and then binge them 3 days straight without sleep and trainers (to level past the grindy aspects) until I’m sick of them.
Same with binge TV for me. Its just easier on my schedule if I can dedicate a one off time to it.
Smoking cigarettes, and these days “vaping.” Never tried.
do you like drugs? nicotine isnt the worst.
This is a factually accurate statement, but it reads like you’re encouraging someone to get into smoking cigarettes, which is (I thought) a myth invented by DARE types. Hey OP, speaking as someone with a 15 year off and on addiction to nicotine, steady on your course, bud.
i quit, too. it wasn’t easy. but that doesn’t mean i won’t use nicotine, i just broke the habit.
If anybody is reading this and thinking of trying vaping/smoking, do not.
If you never start, you never have to stop, and stopping is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
Sure it gets me through the day but I have probably wiped 10 years off my lifespan.
I used the nicotine pouches for a year then went could turkey. habit was totally broken.
When I was a kid, an older kid peer-pressured me into smoking a cigarette. I smoked the whole thing and quickly noped out of that. Can’t believe I made the best decision of my life at the age of 6.
