Hot wings. If I want to enjoy spicy chicken, I'll at least go somewhere that serves thighs and drums.

Sports. I don't judge anyone for being sports fan, except for a couple people I know who never shut the fuck up about their favorite teams and assume I'm as into them as they are, but overall I just don't see the appeal of being a sports fan at all.

Susanna Hoffs being legendarily hot. She's a tiny chick who was cute in her time, and people go way overboard that she's the greatest looking person on the planet, just because she's aging better than Lita Ford.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
I get the appeal of sports but I DON'T get the tribalism. "We" did this last weekend, "you" suck (said to a follower of another team), etc. You’re not on the field / track / court / whatever. You just watched some other people who were. Or maybe you didn't even watch, just saw the result later.Charles Bukaki wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 4:35 pm Sports.

It's just a game. The same people and teams play each other year in, year out. Just enjoy their skills. Music fans mostly grow out of the tribal mindset once they pass puberty and enjoy different bands and genres. (Kisstards are one obvious exception). With sports teams, somehow it's a requirement that for your entire life you have to stay a fan only of the team that you picked when you were 7, and hate and disparage every other team.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
Absolutely this. It's the assumption that you MUST have a favourite team that you follow religiously that I never got. There's that weird tribalism that once you've selected an arbitrary team (usually local, but not always), followers of any of the other teams immediately become mentally subnormal/possessors of questionable personal hygiene/your mortal enemy. Sports in general always bored the fuck out of me.Charles Bukaki wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 4:35 pm Sports.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
I'm not sure that is considered overrated as opposed to simply fkn annoying. I hate morning people. I get up at 6 am for work and prefer not to speak for a couple of hours. My wife is ALWAYS SINGING something while getting ready for work, and it bugs the shit out of me, but I know what battles to pick. People who start right in at work before I even get to my office deserve to be punched. I need to ease into the morning, or I'm stressed out and pissed the rest of the day.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
Another big one for me is nostalgia. I can't stand the idea of constantly reminiscing and being stuck in the past. I can appreciate the irony that I'm posting this on a hair metal message board I've been on for 25 years but I was never here to talk about the good old days. Sure, a story or two is fine, especially if it's a good story but the idea of being frozen in time when it comes to music (or movies or TV shows or books, or pretty much anything else) makes me cringe. It also leads to the whole "kids today are lazy" "new music sucks" attitude that I just can't stand. I love a lot of music from he 80's and still listen to some of it regularly, but not because it takes me back to my first concert, or first handjob or anything else. I listen to it because it's good music and I enjoy it and I've listened to most of it enough over the last 30+ years that any of that "it immediately takes me back" feeling was stripped away years ago. I know people like this and I can't fathom the thought of listening to the same old music and watching the same old movies and TV shows over and over while shaking their fist at the clouds and telling everyone about how everything outside of their era/comfort zone is garbage.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
I have a driver's license, but the last time I drove was in 1997. I've always lived in a good location and have had no reason for a car. My girlfriend has a car and I could drive it, but have no interest. It doesn't Hurt my pride to sit in the passanger's seat either. Maybe I'll drive again one day.Love_Industry wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 6:41 am

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
I don't view nostalgia the same way. I don't want to live in the past, but I like the memories a certain something pulls from the depths of my brain. 10 seconds of a good time or person is cool. What you're talking about is the "get off my lawn guy" who hates anything current and wishes their life away, wanting it to be 1985 again. For me, there is a difference. Good memories are great. For instance, my first wife died 24 years ago when she was 33. It was a horrible time, but the good memories pop up now again from a song or scent. I love my life now. I loved it before she got sick, but it is two different lives, and I'm grateful to get a 2nd one. But I know what you mean. Those people that LIVE for class reunions, etc. I've never been to a high school or college reunion. No interest. My best friend from high school popped up on my phone after my dad died a year ago. I have no interest in hanging out with him. I don't even know that guy in 2024. I have current friends. I don't need that guy from 40 years ago bugging me.Charles Bukaki wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2024 9:13 am Another big one for me is nostalgia.

Re: What is the most overrated thing people love you do not understand?
The far-right ideological obsession in general by MAGAs and their typical knee-jerk right-wing outrage just frustrates me. Example: a white girl nursing student was unalived by some random dude with priors while jogging near the intramural fields at UGA in Athens Friday morning. Said dude was immediately revealed to be an undocumented Latino, so of course as soon as this happened the MAGAs immediately decided to play their favorite game of "pin the blame on the Biden administration's border policies" (complete with official outrage-feigning statements from Brian Kemp and a senator named Mike Collins). Had she been unalived by a black man they'd have been calling for a lynching mob. Had it been a man of her skin color, they would have simply shrugged their shoulders and skipped straight to the "thoughts and prayers"...TravisBicklesMohawk wrote: ↑Fri Feb 23, 2024 6:02 am Trump.
