Republicans and other parasites. Pop culture. Social media, and I never liked it at all.

Its the opposite for me. Ive held a lot of resentment but have been working through it. I'm seeing more of the good in people, just needed to build stronger boundaries for myself

The USA. Hate to put it so starkly, but right now I wish the USA would just vanish without a trace.

As a child and teenager I was a USA-stan. Then I was "so bored with the USA". Now I wish it would just shut the fuck up and go away.

candy, though i think it's more that i've gotten better at eating healthy as time goes on.

but man, i just don't really find most candy appealing anymore, why would i eat candy when i could instead eat the same calories worth of schnitzel?

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I eat 90%-95% less candy than at my personal peak candy era, and while I do still like it a lot, it's WAY more intense to eat it now, so it feels to me that because I eat less of it, I'm satisfied with a smaller amount of it. Kind of useful to keep that caloric intake nice and low.

I also sometimes bake/roast/grill meats instead of opting for processed snacks and candy, but that still takes more time then just opening the bag (of chips/candy) and shoving it in my facehole.

Hard rock and metal—I used to love them. I would buy any and all albums, from the most popular to the most obscure. Now, it all just sounds like manic noise to me. Even most of the 80s pop I liked is too manic for me. I never thought I would turn into this.

I played in a grindcore band for many years. I primarily listen to neoclassical now.

Ooooh, very interesting! I float from preferred genre to preferred genre all the time, but I can't think of any one genre that really fell out of my grace like how you mention.

Aside from the obvious, sweets.

US American culture and politics. I wish people would stop worshipping that country just because it exports popular films and music. They have destroyed and still destroy democracies all over the world, fuel wars, exploit developing countries, still sell the image of them being "a free country" and "the american dream".

Maybe not entirely the same thing, but I have less tolerance for bullshit.

To varying degrees of politeness, depending on circumstance, I will not spend a moment listening to your bullshit once I realize you are going to be any kind of pain in my ass. I'm not talking about any specific kind of bullshit. Any interaction I have with someone where they are fake/rude/aggressive or even just seemingly unwilling to proceed smoothly with the the reason for our interaction will involve me leaving the interaction, calling that person out explicitly, or moving the interaction in another direction, whether overtly or not.

I used to just sort of patiently wait for such things to play out most of the time. Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

I need more of that in my life.

Tried to watch a long video of a game first playthrough. But they had jump cuts and memes constantly. I abandoned watching it...

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 2 points 1 month ago

Same x3.. the only videos I watch now basically just cut out the boring bits, or do an occasional timelapse.. background music sometimes too :3

I think the phenomenon has potential for a B-moie horror about a spreading affliction. By the end, it's just our protagonist fleeing a society of people with constant, manic smiles.

Meeting people. Reading books. Working. I'm not exactly improving with age...

Capitalism and people that say they would be in the "political center" or "unpolitical".
