People Are Sharing Modern Trends That They Can’t Stand (45 Answers)

Awesome court ruling here recently: judge deemed a mother's own 'googling and internet research' was not sufficient to deny her children vaccines, esp measles after a 2019 outbreak (NB this parent also rejected haircuts and dental care for kids until forced to[free of charge of course]). Judge basically said if I allow your (mum) opinion to be equivalent to that of a genuine specialist witness, then what is the point of these special experts? Anyone could start to claim to be an expert, too dangerous a precedent. Kids are getting vaccinated. Awful that it had to be done like this. She said they had natural immunity and didn't need vaccines, as her kids hadn't ever gotten the illnesses, and had been given 'holistic vaccines' whatever the hell those are 🤦‍♀️

Just my opinion but this is going to be the defining entity of this age we are living. When people look back and learn a sizeable portion of internet enabled population believed and acted on woefully anti-science, anti-fact bs as though it was real they will find it hard to believe.

dont tell me that sign in the corner says lockdown = terrorism smh

Cough**bp**cough

Stupidity is a trend. That's depressing.

Exactly, what made them experts to give healthy informed advise on how to live your life?

They don't influence jackshit. All they do is blindly promote consumerism and capitalist ideals. Except for body positive and women in sports and other influencer-types for marginalised groups and communities

Or everyone has an onlyfans account and wants you to pay for their stupid pictures that aren't even worth paying for.

imo, some people that have followings on instagram deserve it (artists for example), but those who simply post random promotions or photos drive me crazy. redirect the fame to those who deserve it and work for it.

Why are people being influenced by strangers.

That's a basic lack of education, TBH.

Yes. It’s a fine point most people don’t get. They have every right to listen to whatever music they want, but when their music leaves their personal space and invades someone else’s, that’s where their rights end and the other person’s begin. Therefore, keeping it contained in their own space through the use of headphones or earbuds keeps them firmly within their own rights without diminishing everyone else’s enjoyment of the place, or their quality of life, or even potentially affecting their health by stressing them out—-remember, there are some people who are legitimately adversely affected by loud noise (such as some on the autism spectrum), as well as those who just want a little peace and quiet.

that's when you join in on the conversation or start sings the words to the song - loudly and badly :)

People are rude

UGH sooooo annoying

Imagine being the kid who’s parents started a wildfire or accidentally killed someone at your gender reveal. Some people are so narrow minded, selfish and just beyond stupid.

I hate gender reveals. To all intents and purposes it's celebrating genitals (unless you're maintaining that you maintain gender stereotypes and get really excited by one over the other)

We've been to two of these in my family. Both times were truly excruciating to witness. Both were for couples who already had two girls. When the gender reveal revealed, surprise!, a girl, both dads were crushed and acted so disappointed in front of family and friends. One went into a spare bedroom to lie down. The poor moms! If you are going to have a gender reveal why on earth shouldn't the parents find out in private beforehand?

I just don't see the point of gender reveal parties. When did it go from an intimate thing between the parents to...let's invite everyone and make a spectacle? Maybe I'm just too old to understand.

No one gives a damn what you push out of your crotch. You’re not special because of it.

Charitable act: A charitable organization or activity helps and supports people who are ill, disabled, or very poor. ADJ n. ...charitable work for the handicapped. 2 adj Someone who is charitable to people is kind or understanding towards them. -- What they are doing is self public relations and not a charitable act at all.

If you a doing it to publish it, it's not charity. It's exploitation.

Maimonides defines eight levels in giving charity (tzedakah), each one higher than the preceding one. On an ascending level, they are as follows: 8. When donations are given grudgingly. 7. When one gives less than he should, but does so cheerfully. 6. When one gives directly to the poor upon being asked. 5. When one gives directly to the poor without being asked. 4. Donations when the recipient is aware of the donor's identity, but the donor still doesn't know the specific identity of the recipient. 3. Donations when the donor is aware to whom the charity is being given, but the recipient is unaware of the source. 2. Giving assistance in such a way that the giver and recipient are unknown to each other. Communal funds, administered by responsible people are also in this category. 1. The highest form of charity is to help sustain a person before they become impoverished by offering a substantial gift in a dignified manner, or by extending a suitable loan, or by helping them find

I can overlook these because the person still gets help, and sometimes I desperately need to see people doing good things, even if their motives are suspect.

The only exception for this that I remember long time ago there was a video where a guy went around different fast food chains trying to see what he'd get if he tried to order Big Smoke's order from GTA San Andreas and at the end he was like "Welp, we ate a bit but there's still a lot of it left. I ma just drive around the block and give some to the homeless folk round here"

Worshiping influencers,/actors.. I just don't get it. It's fine when somebody likes them, but idolizing them? Too far imo

I think influencers is on the same level...or those who actually refer to themselves as influencers.

Yeah, just because they rich don’t mean they gods. They selfish children

Not that you should idolize anything or anybody, in my opinion, but billionares sure are some of the worst people to choose as idols.

Not really a modern trend. This has been happening throughout human history

thoughts and prayers? How about something that will make a real difference?
