"Current Year" trends that you like

I'm enjoying poor people food content, aka how to make a half decent meal with shit from Dollar Tree. Shit's expensive, and I don't need the fancy stuff, just something to fill my belly without breaking the bank.

neat, I'm happy just eating some raw noodles when hunger gets too annoying
 
The recent rise of open Anti-Semitism on twitter. I've hated kike rats way before it was cool, but if normies want to jump on the bandwagon due to Israel nuking the ever loving fuck out of Palestinians, I won't stop them. Fuck jews and fuck Israel. I look forward to the day they get obliterated off the map by their own hubris.
 
Procedural generation allowing for huge in-game worlds in vidya that couldn't be realistically made otherwise. Even entire universes, like in No Man's Sky and Space Engine.
 
Matcha being so prevalent, both as a drink and a flavor. You can easily make it at home, or get it black if you don't want it around your house. It pairs really well with creamy flavors, and is good on its own.

Being able to find lessons and tutorials for anything and everything. Sure you have to pay attention to whether they're any good, but they don't call it "the University of YouTube" for nothing.
 
Work from home is good. Fuck office politics, and fuck having Karen from HR looking over your shoulder and complaining that there was too long of a break in typing noises coming from your cuck cube.
 
While having physical copies is better than online streaming, online streaming makes a wide variety of entertainment readily available that isn't worse than VHS quality. Online streaming is also better than TV, as corporations almost always decide what you see on TV. Internet speeds and computing powers are enough for realtime 3D online.

anything you could call a trend, like TDS, brainrot or "body positivity" (the last one which I find hilarious)

It's funny that chanspeak (ex 'it's over', 'billions must die', 'looksmaxxing', 'based', 'goyslop') is becoming more mainstream. And that more people are no longer blindly trusting e-celebs. More people are noticing Israel, but it's usually out of the palestinian cause only and not the ten thousand other reasons anyone on here can think of.
for my beauty gorls, I actually like some of the trending beauty (sol de janeiro, charlotte tilbury, etc) and that people are using perfume more often, for better or for worse.
 
-I've noticed that succulents and cacti have been pretty trendy for a while now, that makes me very happy because one of my great-grandmothers loved cacti.

-Opossums going from maligned to celebrated. Fuck yeah, opossums are great. They have exactly one braincell and use projectile diarrhea as a defense mechanism, but they also eat a huge amount of ticks.

-Flavors like lavender getting really trendy. I don't normally care about food trends or am wildly late to the party (I first made Dalgona coffee three years after it was cool) but I've always liked lavender so seeing lavender matcha at my local coffee shops made me happy.

I don't necessarily hate all Jews (Hi, Norman Finkelstein, you absolute chad), but the Shitraeli genocidal psychopathy has made me increasingly suspicious of everything Jew. A couple years ago I disregarded all talks of "it's the Jews", and while I still don't think every single problem on Earth can be attributed to them (that'd be too easy and absolves everyone else of responsibility), I have started to look into a lot of the things people claim are linked to Jews, and it's quite interesting, and thunk-provoking, to say the least.

Also, I have never learned so much about how Shitrael has its tentacles literally everywhere, and how absolutely disgusting of an entity it is, like in the past year. Not one thing can redeem all its history of lies, deceit, terrorism, mass rape and mass murder. My expectations of how evil and monstrous it can get just keep getting surpassed, both by learning what they do in the present and in the past.

All that to say, that I love how most people with more than half a braincell are realizing that Shitrael is a horrendous puddle of vomit that should have never been allowed to exist, and how talmudic Judaism is being exposed worldwide, with pretty much irreparable damage.

I also love how more and more people are realizing that there's no real "left" or "right", and can no longer be manipulated and swayed by being told "tHaT's A rIgHt WiNg ThiNg To Do" or viceversa.

I also love how more and more people are becoming vegan for the animals.

Not since the Chinese bought out the Cuban brands and lowered the quality while driving prices to insane levels. I'm dismayed.

On an unrelated note, a modern trend I really do like is the push to make consumer tech and everyday parts of life as accessible as possible for people with life-changing disabilities. I'm thankfully not in a position to need that kind of support, but I've known people who struggle every day to perform simple tasks despite their minds being perfectly sharp. I really hope that one day we can live in a post-disability world, but until then it's good to know that an increasing number of these people can read, write, cook, clean, dress, travel, earn money and do all sorts of other things that many take for granted. It's a very good side effect of the never ending march for "diversity and inclusivity."

Not too long ago, I attended a research presentation involving this language tech that quite literally plugged a severely paralyzed man's brain into a computer. I really didn't understand it, I just happened to be there, but I really appreciated it. This guy had a degenerative disease and was locked in his own body, unable to even talk. But it could read his mind. With some training, he was able to talk again through the machine. Better yet, using recordings from earlier on in his condition, they were able to AI clone his voice and let him speak with his own voice again. He's a husband and a dad, and this experiment allowed him to communicate with his family again. The main researcher presenting this study said something that's going to stick with me for a while -- that for thousands of years, every time we invented a new tool we had to learn how to work with it; but what if instead the tool learned how to work with us?

Yes, that tech will be abused for some man made horrors beyond our comprehension, if it isn't already, like all tech. But for the moment I enjoyed that a guy who's probably scared and depressed every day could once again be part of his family's life.

That's what you get for smoking commie cigars.

In all seriousness: Hondurans, Nicaraguans, and Dominicans are all great and getting better. Cubans are simply not worth the price of admission anymore.

Unfortunately I have to agree. Any recommendations that come close to a Partagas Rubusto?

If you like Cameroon wrappers, try an Aladino Cameroon. It's a Honduran puro and you cannot go wrong with any Eiroa cigars. They are also priced well - around the same for a box of 20 as you'd get from Partagas.
