slot machines. It always amazes me that someone would want to mindlessly feed money into a machine just to see some flashy shite on a screen and hope they get their money back.



Slots do nothing for me but I understand why a lot of people love them. It’s the same reason we can’t look away from our phones most of the time. It gives you the same type of dopamine level as when you’re on your phone.

Basically are brains are dumb enough to love bright lights and shiney things.

most of pop culture

but that's because I am old and 80% of it is geared to 15-20 year olds and 75% of that is to the female half of that group

but for something specific it is starting to be superhero movies

Most chain resturants. Chili's and Applebee's are absolutely awful though steakhouses usually do well(outback, longhorn, etc)

Mumble rap

Krystal's

Starbucks coffee

Chipolte is bland as shite. Spices. Learn to use them please.

. Tacos- again, they’re okay but this whole meme of “I love tacos” is lost on me.


Tacos took bacon's role on the internet from about 3 or 4 years ago. It will be something else in about 3 more years. My guess is French toast.

Well the BR taco scene is awful so that’s probably a large reason why


While this is true, I’ve certainly had taco stand versions that were by no means bad.. but still guess I don’t grasp the whole, “But first - tacos” t-shirt thing.

That’s fair.

I prefer greasy tacos over Rum House style tacos that are prepared like a 5 star dish. I’ll eat both but I like to stay in the gutters with my tacos


Also since moving to TX I’ve learned I’ll pretty much always prefer a breakfast taco over a regular taco. Torchys being the prime example. No matter when I go there I’ll grab their breakfast tacos over their regular stuff

Disagree with you on shellfish, but agree with everything else. I also don’t get:

Modern slim fit anything
The need to share EVERYTHING on social media

I have a feeling you're talking about the high waisted mom-jean style.. the ugly baggy 80s shite.

Fitted jeans that are high waisted are popular because they fit better/longer and keep you from looking fat when you're not. Low rise jeans can't be worn by anyone who isn't the size most here would say need to eat a sandwich because it makes people's stomach and sides go over the waistband, especially when sitting.

Low rise were cute back when they were popular and it took me a good while to adjust, but really even most "not fat" girls still aren't skinny enough to pull them off.

I can buy a high rise in my size and a low rise in the same size, and I'm unbuttoning the low rise pair within an hour. And my weight is in the double digits.

High Rise:
