What common behaviour/social trend do you simply not understand? - Hating niggers excluded <3

[The Curmudgeon]

I thought you were talking about sociopaths or delinquents whose (lack of) ethos we basically have modelled the status quo on. Like the Bezos of the world and their lesser equivalence everywhere, from the workplace to the media. They don't necessarily grift on peoples pity, in fact some would argue that they "contribute" due to their callous nature and ability to do and push things where others wouldn't.

You're not wrong and I see your point. People like Bezos are a different type of problem, but still a problem.

I'm mostly annoyed at all the sycophants they are able to gather and how obsessed with gratifying that person they can be.

I don't like those types of people either. They enable in a different way too.

I mean "troubled" folks who are failing at life are an other thing. There's plenty of examples of people taking more time than others to get to their full bloom, others stay fucked forever. I don't really have an opinion on it. Their impact is generally minor anyway. It's a fallacy to be pissed off at the local bum who gets social security when Apple hasn't payed taxes in years for example. Plus the local bum actually has something interesting to say from time to time. It's like their mind zones into some otherworldy frequency the way a clock is right once a day and you get some sprinkles of wisdom to carry on your day with.

Again, you're not wrong. There are people who get better. Sometimes, it does take time. The ones that piss me off are the people who refuse to stop committing crimes, throwing tantrums, picking fights, being abusive, or just generally being troublemakers and entitled assholes. Most of the lolcows on this site are like that. They belong in prisons or mental hospitals. They deserve every awful thing that happens to them. Nearly all of their problems are self-inflicted. Maybe at one point they were genuine victims, but now they're the predators or bullies themselves.

Anyhow, this is my opinion. We can agree to disagree! I'm just bitter because at one point in my life I was one of those well-meaning but misguided people who tried to help a "troubled" person. I realized that I shouldn't be wasting my life trying to fix his because it was never going to happen.

I know a lot of people have said TikTok, and I can sort of see why people like it, but one thing that I can not wrap my head around is the lip-syncing part of it.

If someone walked in on me mouthing along to NSYNC, I would commit seppuku. But, for some reason people feel comfortable letting the entire world see that.

Yeah, I guess I've been lucky to never quite face a person like that, at least not in person. I am on the other hand working on an exposition on one of those as we speak. Somebody I only know about from online. Though I'm still on the fence if I should post about them here or not as I want to attract a wider audience to their debauchery as it may have had a huge impact recently.

I guess you're right too, they are around. I think that this type of person is kind of rare though, an evolutionary off-shoot that keeps mutating into existence now and then.

I don't think that people in general have too much sympathy for them. And I also think that obviously, enough abuse and problems can turn yourself into an abuser too. But that doesn't absolve them from responsibility where they have agency.

Everyone wants to be Elvira from Pulp Fiction.

She dances like me in the bathroom! But with confidence!

I just love when a White liberal meets a woman or minority that doesn't fit their status quo, they turn misogynist and racist in a flash.

Bumper stickers. Window stickers. Custom spare tire covers. Really anything written on your vehicle that isn't required by DOT.

They all suck and I don't understand why people want them.

Political-- who ever changed their voting based on a stupid fucking bumper sticker? This is essentially a "kick me" sign.

"Funny." -- Jokes aren't funny again and again. We GET it, "Fuck It." Oh, how clever! Tell it again tomorrow? Besides, you bought that sticker. It's not your joke. It's like reading the same page of a joke book ad nauseam.

My honor student / family stick figures-- nobody cares.

Satire of honor student / family stick figures-- nobody cares, AND you're a faggot.

Vietnam Vet -- Stanhope: "you got fucked and then bought merch?"

All those who wander are not lost-- get lost. Nobody is impressed by you "exploring" the rest stops of America.

I especially hate it when a bumper sticker is an entire mini-essay in microscopic font size. Anyone who expects others to read that is trying to distract other motorists.

Stick figure families on the back of SUVs. Although I did see one that was humorous-husband, wife, five or six kids, a dog, and immediately following it: = BROKE.

People want a free pass to violate social norms, be a neglectful parent, and commit crimes.

There’s

This.

Oh, and thirty and forty-something adults throwing full blown temper tantrums on social media over cartoons meant for preschoolers. Looking at you, Thomas and Friends "fandom".

Lastly, people who post "this" when they agree with something.

There’s a Thomas and friends fandom…?

People who think everyone is phobic of them because they don’t feel like they’re being treated special enough. It is not fatphobic if you weigh 600 pounds and the chairs in the restaurant cannot hold you.

Slang seems too prevalent in conversation nowadays with people not all that much younger than I, and I'll sometimes have a hard time keeping up with constantly changing definitions and additional new words like for example the word "bussin" or "glizzy" which I had to look up what it meant, I'm sure more words like this are to come but it seems like we're heading towards this:

Spoiler: THIS

On top of that, I use turns of phrase that people don't get because I'm either old or weird

Also the fashion statement of athleisure looks awful, you either look like ghetto trash, or like a wannabe gopnik, just wear jeans and a t-shirt.

I had to explain what a Persecution Complex was the other week. Same person doesn't know what a baby boomer is. Nice girl, but Christ.

Nothing to do but dumb down your language. I save my vocabulary for job interviews.

Yeah, bunch of millennials and older screaming that a flash cartoon meant for preschoolers is RUINING THOMAS FOREVER or some shit. It's simultaneously hilarious and depressing.
(edit: a distressingly large chunk of them claim to be autistic, which doesn't help)

Train nerds and autism. Name a more iconic duo.

I hate other veterans who only wear 9-Line, Grunt Style and Black Rifle Coffee shirts and cover their trucks in punisher skulls. Like, I have no problem with old unit shirts or whatever. I wear my VMAT and USS Wasp golf shirts all the time, I even have a GI Joe shirt I like, but more often than not I'm wearing something that has dick to do about wasting tax payer dollars while I sported a bad hair-do. Yesterday when I went out to get my $11 haircut and beard trim I saw so many fucking guys in Gruntstyle shirts that I kept count, and I got in to the 20s in the hour I spent waiting at the coffee place next door. Be proud of your service, but don't make that shit your entire personality after you get the fuck out

It's like those reservists who ride their trucks around town and adorn it with US flags. They haven't grown at all, they aren't scary, they're the most useless buffoons who just constantly yell at people.

There is no group more deserving of your ire and insults than fucking reservists*

This is something that's been brought up in other threads, but I feel like it applies to this thread too. It's common behavior I really don't get. Why is it that most people don't really use or understand the Internet? It's been around long enough that you'd think, especially in a country like the United States, that most people would be comfortable with using it, know how to use it, and so on. While people do tend to use social media and mainstream websites, they still don't "get" the Internet.

Sometimes it irritates me, but other times I'm genuinely curious. Not everyone is going to be a weirdo like me who is on the Internet a lot and that's fine, but I start to worry when people don't even know how to put a web address into the address bar. Instead they put the web address into Google. Why? Why would you do that? It's mostly boomers who do that, but I've also noticed other generations doing it too.

 

[Captain Syrup]

Why is it that most people don't really use or understand the Internet?

Social media functions like a mega-mall. Facebook has news, email, video, fandom. It's designed to keep you there and waste your time.

Those are the sites that tend to succeed.
