For me it's driving while under the influence. If you couldn't tell, I like me some ganja. However I have long since held the belief that it is utterly insane to drive while under the influence of most substances, with maybe nicotine and caffeine being the exception. All too often I see other stoners smoking and driving, which I simply can't fathom. I've only operated a vehicle once under the influence and it was just to move a U-Haul around the block to a different parking spot, which was such a scary experience while high that I refuse to even consider getting behind the wheel again while high.

I see an increasing amount of Prusa folk vs Bamboo folk (and vice-versa), everyone vs fusion360 folk (and to a lessor extent vice-versa). And very recently I've started to notice a new vocal "I only ever use thangs.com" group starting to sprout.

i don't like bamboo printers very much, just because of the closed ecosystem. the printers themselves are really good, besides being loud.

i would like to switch to a different CAD program, but i couldn't figure out freecad for the life of me. fusion is still my go-to.

thangs is my primary hosting site, just because zack freedman started gridfinity on there. and at the time, thingiverse was almost unusable from my perspective. never really tried printables tho.

There's a lot about the hatred of Bambu that's just sinophobic. Which is too bad because there's plenty of completely rational reasons to avoid Bambu printers.

That's weird because all except prusa are Chinese made. My issue with Bambu is that it is a closed ecosystem, but they are undeniably very capable machines.
