    Watching sports of any kind.

    I get made fun of for playing video games and shit meanwhile millions of people lose their shit over grown ass men chasing a ball.

    I’d be less insulting about it if I wasn’t ridiculed every time I bring up not liking sports.

      I remember an old reddit post about what it’s like to not like football by replacing it with archeology. I felt that in my soul.

        Honestly that’s why I hate sports. It started out as just disliking it but after working food service my whole life I’ve grown to hate sports due to how much it affects my job.

      I think she’s definitely a cut above your average pop singer just from sheer popularity, and most of her stuff isn’t bad but she definitely isn’t a super strong songwriter.

      My coworkers love her because “She’s a storyteller!”

      I can think of many bands that do the same thing without making aggressively mid music while doing so.

    Any social media platform where you follow people instead of topics.

    I have to just sort of flail about in the void looking for people in my same niche to follow, and by the exact same token, no one will ever look at anything I post unless one of the Popular Accounts™ re-shares it. What’s worse, a re-share from a person with a lot of followers has more value than a re-share from an average Joe. That never sat right with me – the idea that one person’s opinions on what was and wasn’t good were more valuable than everyone else’s, and that everyone therefore competed for that person’s attention.

      That does make me miss how Facebook and Twitter used to be utilized with friends following each other and posting content that they made and not simply reposting everything that comes their way.

      I do value the opinion of people I know but I want hear them say it not some larger personality.

    Drinking

    Why would anyone want to drink something that tastes awful, so they can have a night of fun they probably won’t remember, and wake up feeling awful?

    If I’m gonna have a fun night, I want to remember it, not hear about it from others. And the risks are too great. Risk of doing something stupid I would never normally consider that could embarrass, injure, or kill myself or others.

    If that’s your idea of fun, more power to you, but I’ll pass.

      That’s how Alcoholism or movies works, not a night out with some social drinks. I rarely drink but I’ve never not remembered stuff. I’m introverted, so a few drinks does actually help me losen up a little and have a better time. But it’s not healthy, so it’s rare that I do.

      I think a lot of sweet things taste awful. But that doesn’t mean I watch people drinking Coke and can’t understand why they like it.

      That’s because taste is subjective. I only drink things I like. Do you really think people, other than teenagers experimenting, are drinking things they don’t like?

      And getting black out drunk, again young people aside, is not the aim.

      I think you might be a bit sheltered. Not liking alcohol or drinking is fine and normal and should be encouraged for health reasons, but you’ve made some big assumptions about people.

      I don’t understand how you pick a team if you werent born in an area with a team. Like, as a New Zealander, how can I get excited for a premiere league team that I essentially pick at random?
