What things or activities currently popular or in vogue do you have little use for?

[Fyrefox]

I'll kick it off...smart watches! I have a laptop, a tablet, and a (semi-) smart phone, but I really have no desire to invest several hundred dollars in another computerized gadget for my wrist bound to be rendered obsolete in a year or two, anyways. I find unnecessary technology irksome and annoying. If you have, use, and enjoy a smartwatch, however, that's fine, and whatever floats your boat! It's just not for me...

How about you? What "must have or must do" item or activity holds no interest or appeal to you?

A digital assistant like Siri, or Alexis. Life is confusing enough without wading through what the WWW is telling me.

Agree.

Fantasy sports leagues.

 

[Fyrefox]

Car stereos loud enough to be considered environmental assault weapons...and they wonder why they're starting to go deaf at an early age!

I don't even know what's currently popular or "in vouge". I don't even know what "in vogue" means. Who talks like that?

 

[KSav]

Viewing TikTok videos. Ugh.

 

[HermitHogan]

Tattoos and piercings. Why do people do that to themselves?

There is nothing new about tattoos. They were originally a tribal identity mark, so served a useful purpose.

Sports fanaticism.- -Why do some people get so worked up over sports who don’t get excited about anything else?!

 

[katlupe]

Television programming

Cell phones. I was tethered to an "electronic leash" - pagers, then cell phones - throughout my working life. No more!

I still have a smart phone and can use it, but I very seldom do.

 

[Fyrefox]

Conspiracy theorists. I’ve had entirely too much of them!

 

[Paco Dennis]

I don't think we will get an EV. It would be a logistical nightmare, plus we can't afford one.

I had a freshman writing professor who told our class there was no “hidden meanings” in poetry. It was all right there to be read. You might have to read it carefully a few times, but it’s there. I feel the same way about life. It’s all right there in front of us everyday. Most people, unfortunately, choose to stay in their bubble of personal belief or look the other way (willful ignorance). I have been guilty of this many times. I am improving though. Careful observation and knowing most people tell us who they are and what they believe by their actions. Facing the ugly or beautiful truth is up to us.

Conspiracies. There are too many of them going on. Intended to seize control from the people, keep them divided, establish neo-feudalism, and create opportunities for war profiteering.

 

[Jackie23]

Wow....I think I agree with all of the above except the car stereo...
Conspiracy theorists being number one!

 

[chic]

I agree with so much of this except sex and conspiracy theorists. Sex is not new or a trend in vogue as I see it. And I am a conspiracy theorist about many things. It would be like hating myself and I won't do that.

 

[dusty]

This isn't a thing, but I had the females on ads who talk by trailing off the ends of their sentences. Also the 'food insuffiecent' and other similar phrases.

 

[Michael Z]

Smart phones. I do have a flip phone, however ,that I use when traveling.

Homeless indifference:

Though especially urban homeless indifference where there is both more of it and more people who could do something about it.

We call those "ragpicker jeans".
