"Current Year" trends that piss you off

>be ToroidalBoat IRL
>go grocery shopping
>see box of granola bars that's almost $3
>"oh they must be big then"
>buy them
>get home and open them
>they're these tiny little things at the bottom of a mostly empty box
>they taste sorta like cardboard


BS "shrinkflation" strikes yet again
 
Blue and Pink neon lights in streams/videos. What is this obsession with making all the slop content even sloppier by everyone trying to make themselves look exactly the same as everyone else? And why do you want to make your room look unnatural and painful to the eye?

After filtering a fit of sociopolitical grandstanding on social media, I have finally reached a stance on a trend I've seen pop up in the last year.

I'm tired of all the performative pro-Israel and pro-Palestine sperging, especially when these idiots slapfight, call each other out, and particularly act morally superior to one another.

Here on the Farms? I expect you homosexuals to argue about this sort of thing with gusto. I'm oddly okay with that. I wouldn't think any of you are trying to garner social brownie points with a wider bunch of nobodies on the internet and make yourselves feel good with whatever spergery you get up to. In a weird way, it's a bit more "honest" in intention.

Rest of the internet, though? It comes across as the usual brand of fart-huffing "high ground" nonsense, and I feel like I've finally reached my high water mark with it.
 
EV battery fires from lithium-ion batteries.

If the push to stupidly replace gas-powered cars with those things continues, there's likely gonna be much more of those.

And why do you want to make your room look unnatural and painful to the eye?
Maybe from trying to stand out as much as possible on "social media"?
 
:Woke shit in video games (but that's been gradually getting worse every year for nearly a decade now.)
:Seeing people in crocs when those gay abominations had previously disappeared.
:STILL no sign of a comeback of Red Bull Cola or Walkers Tomato Ketchup flavour & Worcester sauce flavour crisps.
 
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the latest iteration of this.
Yes, the cringe was very real during the youtube clips I watched, where some hulking half man, half woman , creature was talking about pronouns and scolding another character for misgendering it or something.

You couldn't make this shit up and if someone would have told me back in the pre-2010 era that this would be common in videogames in the future I would have LOL'd hard and said no fucking way...
 
So-called "social justice"...

  • has the delusion that intangible culture itself is the same as physical property ("cultural appropriation")
  • has the delusion that all of an "oppressor" group are inherently "oppressors" to "marginalized groups"
  • treats all of a kind as a homogeneous collective "community" because SJWs are in a collectivist cult
  • demonizes healthy straight sexuality while pushing degeneracy like "polyamory" and HRT on children
  • denies differences between different kinds of people (when it's convenient to The Narrative™)
  • comes from communism which has always failed
  • is in denial about human nature and biology
  • holds to a BS "hierarchy of oppression"
  • keeps the "little people" divided
  • suspiciously rose as Occupy fell

In other words, "woke" -- which is a foundation of Clown World -- is built on lies and pushes lies.
 
I hate how common the phrase "no age in bio = block" is.

Internet safety has gone so backwards over the years that now not sharing details about yourself is seen as weird. I've even encountered multiple people openly listing their "triggers" in their bios. What ever happened to "don't use the same name everywhere online?" :sigh:

While browsing the comments section of youtube, Cats thought to himself, "you know, I am getting sick to death of seeing the words "genuinely" and "literally", if I see one more zoomer misuse and/or overuse either of these words, I am going to blow my stack."

I dunno, this guy seems violent..

Subject yourself to a video created by that poojeet "Ordinary Gamers",,,

I don't mind the guy, (despite him being a smelly streetshitter) but his overuse of the word "literally" is beyond annoying.

"Zoomers" and "Generation Alpha" kids don't get snow days anymore because of "Zoom meetings" or some other Current Year BS like that.

Speaking of, "Zoom meetings": popularized during "The New Normal" BS, talking to people over what looks like "The Brady Bunch" intro is not a way for people to communicate.

school getting cancelled because too much snow.
Yet another thing the zoomies and now gen alpha have had stolen from them. They don't even get real snow days because online work

Sucks how oversensitive people seem to be going now. Schools having extreme "zero tolerance" policy, jokes taken too seriously, etc.

This is a product of kids having thousand-dollar computers in their pockets that could be used to embarrass the school not just in town but worldwide.
I think that "smartphone culture" may be one of -- if not the -- biggest reasons why Current Year is Current Year in the first place.

YouTube's ad friendly censorship.
Another BS that sucks about Current Year: fear of being "demonetized" is influencing IRL with censorship like what "Chris Chan" uses.
