Drinking. It’s one of the more damaging drugs but it’s completely normalized because it’s legal. Even people who don’t have drinking problems per se, Ares still harming their health way more than they realize.
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.
War.
illicit drug culture.
Being part of a marginalized or oppressed group.
Am a member of 3. Can confirm it’s shit.
Not wearing a seatbelt and not wearing a helmet.
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.
Vaping/smoking.
Calling yourself “Alpha”. If you have to say it out loud, you are definitely not the Alpha.
Sounds like something a beta would say

Typical Alpha response?

Weed.
Reading a study today saying that it’s being linked to dementia. Personally I can’t wait. I want to know what its like to be able to listen to trump without it feeling like someone is beating you in the head with a hammer.
Had to look that up quick!! ER visits for marijuana linked to dementia diagnosis within 5 years. Such an odd qualifier.
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.”
Around here it’s the boomers who are smoking cigarettes!
I think you just sound like a rational human being that doesn’t consistently use their emotions for decision making.
Cryptocurrency and AI
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.
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.
Its super easy to exchange if you have another currency. I’m using eXch. No KYC and they have a 0.5% fee.

The outside of a space station in sunlight (~121° C or ~250° F)
Does it feel like that? I know some bits of space are super hot but there’s not enough stuff there to get that energy to a person suspended in it. I guess being right next to the ISS might do it.
being a billionaire
The thing with money is you always want more. It’s never enough.
Flashing money. Loud “notice me” logos on everything, although I don’t know how many wealthy people do that.
Contrarianism. Being anti-“Popular Thing” just for the sake of being anti-“Popular Thing” marks you out as having no thoughts worth hearing out.
As somebody who was anti for a loooong time, 100% this. It’s a bad mindset, and it affects your wellbeing.
But what if I really like Linux
You wanna really be a contrarian? Use Windows. Everyone in tech is already on a MacBook or Linux
Then you’re not being anti-“popular thing” you’re being pro-linux
Or you’re neurodivergent and you’re naturally anti anything that has the potential to be remotely popular
