    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.”

    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.

    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.

    Branded clothes. Why are you a walking advertisement because rappers who get paid big money to tell you that looks cool tell you to wear it? It’s all ugly anyway.

      I hate having a car. I think it’s stupid and unnecessarily expensive.

    I honestly think sad one night stands. I don’t care what people do with their sex lives, it’s not my affair, but I think those just cause depression.

    Loudly and intrusively hating things that other people like.

    If someone likes a terrible show or movie or musician or whatever else… just let them like their thing. It’s okay to state your point if you somehow get dragged into a conversation on the merits of a given thing, but making a point of shitting on something that someone likes when they’re in no way harming you is just shitty behavior, and it’s not going to accomplish anything.

    Don’t yuck other people’s yums.
