MOPED ARMY

I have green curtains. Am I a victim of the buzzwords now? I also have a blue wall and like a brownish colour one. (edited)

I DID forget "systemic".....and green walls WTF?!? don't get ME started....lol.

🙋‍♂️ I'm a victim then, we've got light and dark grey, white, olive, dark green, yellow ochre, bright yellow. Old House built around 1650/1700, taken 8 years to sort out, I've hand forged all the hinges, latches and banister spindles etc. Oh yeah and I don't give a shite😛

As for buzzwords, common sense has to reclassified as uncommon sense because it's sure as shit not common anymore. The moment I see sustainable I assume the opposite it the case.

Jobs are now "roles" for whatever reason that one just grates on me..."maker" "war fighter" for soldier.... "learner" for student I mean wtf? I know it's a small first world problem to have, but this stuff just bugs the f out of me. How does renaming something change/fix it make it different than it is? Give it a rest, earn that corner office with accomplishments not semantics.

Language changes yes. It's the lack of principals that upset me kinda. But only to a small degree....maybe it's the lack of hope I see?

That being said, i still believe most people are generally good/not horrible so I won't preoccupy myself with the fact the world is changing. I don't like sugar....but bitterness isn't great either.

People I meet still seem cool, the internet people not Soo much. But it's the internet, I could be talking to a kid. Everybody's voice is being heard, that's the only real change

^^^^^victim

It definitely works to name a specific current concept and especially in hashtag world helps group like concepts, but it is frustrating when buzzwords get overused. Then they lose potency and impact. like there's a healthy medium - buzzwords are totally valuable to a point beyond which the value's thrashed

I could accept a change IF it was to name something "altogether" new, a new tech or invention, but just for random no reason throw a new name on something, just unnecessary. The overuse is as bad if not worse than the random re-naming. Colored walls make me feel like I'm in a nut house or a carnival "fun house", no thank you.

Delicate snowflake...

Agreeably the best buzzword of all time. It put a name to a new thing. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE I BEEN LOU" should've made a soundbyte where as slide slide and his name was Robert Paulson and Manboobs stuck. Fight Club and Brad Pitt. Brad coined the term off script.

Being that fox news is the only ones still using woke, i can see why you’d be sick of it.

I’m sick of tucker carlson styled stupidity.

….and “accent” wall colors is simply when you didnt get enough paint for the entire room, and you’ve got some paint left over from another room.

Wahlah - instant accent wall.

This thread makes be think that it’s inevitable that people just keep get older, more intolerant, less adaptable, and basically turn into Don Ohio.

You are not entirely wrong on this, but after decades of the same issues never being solved, watching the next gen of shiny happy young people think they solved it (knowing the same thing was tried before and failed) it gets tiresome, and sad knowing nothing is really going to change, and you quit having the same enthusiasm. The internet has been a game changer in the way people go through life to be sure, like up there with the wheel and fire, but like those two things all the good brought just as much bad, it's just the way people "are" and that will never change. If you were never an idealist you just gloat, and if you were you get sad/depressed angry when you really come to see just how it really is, that all the energy you spent trying to change the world is just dust in the wind, and knowing the young will never believe you, as you never believed those ahead of you.
