What are your odd, unexpected, possibly-not-shared gripes about modern society?
What are your odd, unexpected, possibly-not-shared gripes about modern society?
I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.

I hate modern hookup culture and dating apps. I feel like its commodifying human relations, completely reducing them to a transaction and devaluing them to the point, where finding a lasting relationship or love is a major pain in the ass and leads to major alienation, avoidant attachment and a bunch of shit like that.
Was going to say this, but didn't know how to word it. "Friendships" are the same way. Because you're not friends with anyone, they're just in your "network."
