~~damn, I'm a judgy bitch~~
These are all reasonable. Add people that let others in, in potentially dangerous situations.
People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.
Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.
I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth...
Using proprietary chat apps like Discord, Telegram, Slack, LINE, Meta’s WhatsApp / Messenger. Still judging on apps that require a SIM & mobile OS (like Android) primary device like Signal… or an expensive chat protocol like Matrix.
Hosting your code & bug tracker with a propietary forge like Microsoft GitHub when you say you support open source—but don’t even bother to apply the same mentality to your own project.
…Oh, the question was “secretly”.
Wait, if not Matrix, what is a good software for this? I thought it was preferred for having an E2E encryption implementation.
'It has chemicals in it'
This use of 'chemicals' as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they're parroting some scaremongering tiktok.
I had this talk with a member of my family. Water is a chemical, salt is a chemical. Just because you don't immediately know what it is, doesn't mean its bad.
I’m sure they know, but maybe this is word drift or shorthand for “harmful chemicals”. That’s a lot more plausible than literally turning “literally” into its opposite
Aks instead of ask
Believing in any form of higher power/religion
Whether people read as a hobby or not. As it implies a type of interest into the world around them.
And as a lesser second, what they read.
Shit Parking.
If you're driving a 2 ton metal box and can't have the spatial awareness to fit it into a large rectangle, you shouldn't be on the road.
People who don't like cats.
I've noticed a correlation between people who don't like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies. Could be just an impression but that's how I feel.
Oh boy, does this also hold for people who don't like any pets?
I don't like cats, mainly for two reasons:
- I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
- Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It's like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.
I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.
Huh, I kinda feel the opposite. You need (or at least SHOULD) be very attentive to a pup. Dogs, in general, tend to crave/require more attention. Cats are more hands-off, so they often attract the kinda people who want a pet for the sake of having a pet - which tend to be narcissistic types.*
*not true of all cat people
Interesting. My reasoning is that narcissistic people crave attention, which cats may not give so overtly as a dog. Basically for a dog, a person is a god and some people love that kind of relationship.
I've definitely seen multiple people talk about how they view it as a red flag when people like dogs but not cats because cats are mean. Their reasoning is that dogs will love you no matter what but cats have to want to get attention. The argument is that people don't understand boundaries/consent.
I see their logic, but I think it's looking a bit too far into it. Yellow flag maybe, not red.
In my experience dog owners often like to control another being, cat owners like to just let others be.
So people who don't like cats are cats
Their choices with tech, choices in consumerism (Stanley Cups hype, hypebeast brands, Temu shit, etc), not using blinkers, amount of time spent staring at phones, hobbies
Being religious
Quite a few;
literally
- if one repeats this in 5 seconds in a conversation.
like
- not against saying like, but when is used in "describing" you will be judged.
obvi
- ugh, I just hate this.
legit
- When I hear legit, all I see is insecurities. DO YOUR RESEARCH, TRUST YOUR GUTS.
And yes, I'm millennial.
Ohh I see you're missing out on the fun side of "legit" Because this is what I am thinking when somebody says "legit"
Also isn't it some kind of skateboard term from the 90's? "Broooo that 720 was legiiit 🤙"
"Like" is a critical one for me. As a non native speaker it's just so tempting to use. Like in the above example. I would have 100% introduced that direct speech with Like
Using "u".
I've tried using "u" but I just can't. "You" is only 2 more letters and "u" sounds really cringe
"k"
