    Greed. Ignorance. Intolerance.

    Your workout, food, or personal hygiene regimen.

    Exploitation, expropriation, or extortion.

    Your subjective experience of opening a box, playing a video game, or viewing media.

    Sports culture. Betting, fantasy leagues, statistics. I immediately flatline if the conversation turns to it

      Some folks get deep into D&D and build encyclopedic knowledge on estoric spell combos, some delve deep into trains, and some memorize how many lifetime touchdowns Joe Namath has. Dumb, but I understand it.

        Meh, even that is different. One facilitates an activity YOU partake in. The other is an activity you watch others do. Obsessing over how well grown men perform at children’s games is odd. Structuring your weekend around observing other people exercise while you sit on the couch…is weird.

    Short form content that isn’t a to the point tutorial.

    Hell, on that note, tutorial videos where the person rambles on and on and on before finally showing you what to do. I came for a tutorial on how to do something and not a blog!

    The need to have a giant house / car / other oversized, impractical status symbol. It just reeks of insecurity and it’s all bullshit, no one needs houses that big it’s just plain fucking stupid.

      Hmm…
      I’d argue against houses/living space (what is reasonable) but the other stuff: Yeah.

      Example:
      I’d like a living space with 3-4 rooms with a nice garden.
      Do I need that much when I could suffice with just 2? No.
      Would I like to, to do my hobbies and interests? Yep

      That’s one of the reasons I switched from Windows to Linux.

      Every single patch and every single version upgrade made using worse as all the settings changed weirder and weirder and hidden or missing.

        Yes, I have less issues that needs to be fixed, or tweaked on Linux than on Winslop. Less popups that appear out of nowhere, and no forced upgrades while being on the toilet

      I’m a furry and even I don’t get most furries, haha!

      Like, I’m here to be an animal. I heard “people who like to be animals” and went “whoa, sign me up!” and it turns out a lot of furries DON’T like to be animals, they just… pretend to be animals but “oh that’s a character not really me” and they still consider themselves human…?.. also they’re only half-human-half-animals, not actual animal shape either?.. I don’t get it

      turns out most of the actual “I’m just an animal” animals are the therians instead (once I found them I decided I’d be both). I’m still a non-character, non-anthropomorphic (the furry jargon for normal animal shape is “feral”) furry though, and the anthro furries can just deal. :3

        Owenfromcanada: I dont want to know anything about furrys

        Forestbeast: super detailed descriptions of furry culture

            • I used to think that, but then I realized human brains are kind of a mess so if weird things happen it’s fine as long as nobody’s hurting themselves or someone else

              If that’s what they feel good for them, validity isn’t a pie and more for a weird niche group isn’t less for the rest

              And if they’re trolling you’re failing responding to trolls 101

        This would have been my top line comment. I wish anime wasn’t such a glaring blind spot for me, because it’s something so many people connect on. But I see it like reality TV. There’s 1000 shows with 1000 episodes each, and some shows are probably great, but I’ve never been interested.
