People who think itās a flex to ānot do TikTokā or some other social media. . ETA: honestly; I donāt care, but irl, especially GenX/boomers sometime act a bit like they are āaboveā social media or TikTok/etcā¦ Itās morally neutral to be on it or not to be on it.. I donāt think itās a flex. I canāt figure out how to use TikTok, apparently due to my advanced age. I am GenX myself. The flex comes with judgement. I admit that I remember having this conversation years ago on this board that I usually try not to say I ādonāt getā something without adding something self- depreciating or āIā feel it sounds judgy. It seems kind of passive aggressive in the way saying to a women: āI donāt know how you can ____ (read so much, scrapbook, travel). Iām just too busy.ā Same vibe. If I say anything at all, Iād say something like: āI wish I made more time for --ā

Agreed. The only thing pumpkin spice I like is pumpkin pie. On Thanksgiving.

Tattoos and pickles. Not in any order. Everything seems to have pickle flavor. I love pickles,but not everything needs to be pickle flavored, just as I love bacon, but not everything needs to be bacon flavored! Completely agree. I love pickles. But I donāt need pickle flavored cotton candy or pickle flavored vodka. I donāt understand the popularity of Taylor Swift. Iāve seen some posts on Facebook that are just over the top. Iāve read things about her that sheās a very kind person and generous, but some of the people who referred to themselves as Swifties I just donāt understand it.

Itās been TS this and TS that and all over the news this week. Sheās got some seriously devoted fans for sure. Iād love to go to her concert (Iām not a fan, nor a detractor), just to experience what itās all about BUT, Iād need to be in a private box, with other calm adults, drinking adult beverages

Iām not flexing because I donāt ādo tiktokā (at my age I try not to flex shit because it hurts the next day). I dabbled and it just didnāt win me over. I see 50+ year old men and women āadvertisingā their goods and thatās just cringey. The last thing I came across was Teresa Collins and her facelift stories. Pass.

So, I was going to say Taylor Swift and even BTS, but then I remembered that I was a crazy fan of Donny Osmond so I didnāt include them in my list. š I had posters of him all over my wall, we knew where they lived in West LA, went to Vegas to see them perform, etc.
I saw TS in concert on her Red tour, wow, exactly 10 years ago! I donāt think she has a great voice, but she is a great entertainer and put on a good show.

I agree with a ton of the things mentioned in this thread, but will add Hoda Kotb, Rap Music and any type of steak sauce on a steak.

Iām another one that doesnāt understand the super long pointy fingernails. I'm only liking the first part of your post, let the record show. But yes I feel like poodles are used as sex slaves (lol, I know they're not really, but I just can't get over the feeling that they're being...used) to make doodles and I feel bad for them. Now I've known some wonderful doodles, but I would never purchase one for the astronomical sums that are charged for these, for lack of a better term, mutts. FREE THE POODLES

Ma'am I'm going to need you to branch out for about 30 minutes a day and explore youth culture on the Internet that I already know you're on. Not the "Rap Music" š„“ This feels entirely like those Progressive commercials where they try to keep you from turning into your parents.

I'm even more confused as I have no clue what you just said to me. The way I interpreted what you wrote is that because I don't like Rap Music, I may be turning into my parents and because I don't like Rap Music, I should explore the internet on youth culture. Like that is going to change how I feel about something. I could be young, old and or in between I highly doubt I would like that music.

Iāve lived in Seattle for nearly 60 years and Iāve never heard of them. T they originated from Grants Pass, Oregon. Here in the greater Portland suburbs, thereās one everywhere. Iām not a fan. I like my coffee strong and flavorful. They excel at the sweet drinks, from what I hear.

You guys are cracking me up with the crumbl hate. They're ok cookies. I find them to be overpriced and undercooked. The ones with the biscoff however are VERY good. I agree that they arenāt exceptional. But some weeks there are decent ones. We had a local place that was so much better that sold out to Pick Me Up and itās trash now. Twisted Sugar has some pretty good cookie though.

Coconut anything Coffee I've had Crumbl a couple of times. I didn't hate them, but definitely don't think they are worth $5.00. I don't plan to go by their newly opened store in my town. Cotton candy Very expensive handbags. $100 is usually my limit and I often find ones I like for much less. I don't begrudge anyone who has them (my daughter). Just not for me. Vera Bradley Bags The new show "Hotwheels". I can't change the channel fast enough. Coconut is my favorite!!

Shows on streaming channels - ex GOT, Bear, Ted Lasso, Succession, Outlander, etc) $1000+ phones Ice shapes (butterflies, square, long tubes, etc). Starbucks Soccer What do you mean you don't get "shows on streaming channels"? What's not to get? Quality writing, acting, production values...I haven't watched a network TV show in years because they all suck. I do not see why those shows listed and many more are popular. Not my jam. Sorry not sorry but GOT sucked

Barbie and Hello Kitty for adults. Come on now. I love me some Hello Kitty. I used to host crops with a friend and someone in the area where we hosted them owned a little pink car that was totally decked out with Hello Kitty everything: seat covers, decals on the outside, steering wheel cover, antenna topper, bobble head on the dash. Not gonna lie, I kind of secretly coveted that car, LOL. Nope
