Driving dangerously.

You are not in fast'n'fourious, you are just a piece of shit endangering every one around you

Being able to identify adult videos/actresses on sight. Like, multiple. I can understand someone having a favorite or something, but some people are like walking porn IMDBs.

Not sure who thinks this is cool but, yeah, that's not a convo I'm jumping in on.

illicit drug culture.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Being part of a marginalized or oppressed group.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Am a member of 3. Can confirm it's shit.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Not wearing a seatbelt and not wearing a helmet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

My pet peeve is people cycling with a helmet but not doing it up. It's so blatantly stupid- you get none of the benefits, and all of the negatives.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 12 hours ago

Vaping/smoking.

[–] [email protected] 94 points 16 hours ago (39 children)

Loud cars. So fucking lame.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

And loud motorcycles.

And the ice cream truck playing jingles. I am not a fan of people driving trucks into neighbourhoods and playing loud music to advertise.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Another reason to look forward to electric vehicles! Imagine a world 20 years from now where the noise is vanishing, the gasoline/deisel smell is only for the diehards going to that one remaining service station that still sells it, no more visible emissions from cars or rolling coal!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Or motorcycles in the city.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Or motorcycles in the street in front of your house/apartment. It's so fucking annoying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

The resonator on my old car blew out and sounded obnoxiously loud for like a month, I felt like such a dork commuting it to work. I genuinely felt so happy to have it quietened again.

Calling yourself "Alpha". If you have to say it out loud, you are definitely not the Alpha.

I’m gonna sound like a boomer but cigarettes and not using PPE, including with recreational activities such as motorcycling and hobby crafts.

Becoming a meat crayon isn’t worth “looking cool.”

I've got a close elderly family member who's recently gotten fixated on investing in crypto, watching all the YouTube videos on the subject.

I don't know enough about it to confidently say they're going to lose all their money, I've never looked into it because it just screams get rich quick scheme, but I don't have high hopes for them.

It happened to my relative. They didn't lose everything, but they lost enough that they're shopping for a mobile home for retirement, when they previously could have bought a small house.

I put $50 out of random paychecks into BTC.

It’s done pretty well and I’ve bought a few toys with the profits.

Monero and LTC are pretty cool. I don't care about the scam/meme coins. AI is also super useful if you're using it correctly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I like monero. Privacy is important and there really isn't another way to pay online anonymously.

I wish there was an easier way to do it though and more places accepted it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Its super easy to exchange if you have another currency. I'm using eXch. No KYC and they have a 0.5% fee.
