What is something you never understood the hype for?

Mr. Beast.
turns out hes a POS like witht he people associated with.

Personally superhero movies aremy crowning achievement as far as willing suspension of disbelief goes.
It's fine that superheroes have powers and/or levels of combat expertise that would be impossible to achieve at their age WITHOUT superpowers. That's just how it is.
That they solve all major problems by punching people and acting as less murderous COPS, though? THAT'S what I have to force myself to overlook in order to enjoy the escapist silliness I'm watching

I grew up and have put my fair share of time in the trades. They do pay well but if you don't get out of the field, you trade your functioning body for money.
The one thing I can't wrap my head around is why everyone wants to work so much overtime. Even unions are rocking 50-60 hour work weeks and then claiming they treat you well. It's looked down upon if you only want to work 40.
and its also mostly to a specific demographic too, and not the one people want to associate with,hint hint.

The notion that working in the Trades is so great. Coming from a guy did a lot of construction work, trust me it can really suck… also most of the guys in that line of work are assholes.
it destroys the body, and i only ever seen white people work in trades, so i suspect as to something to do with how they are only hiring those people too.

Then you go to the east coast and they claim Five Guys is the better In-n-out and holy shit it is definitely not. Even more overpriced and not even as good as a burger king. Sheesh.
Having eaten all 3, Five Guys is the best. But hey, that's why everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Yours just happens to be wrong.

Grad school. Unless your getting a professional degree with a license that protected by the state and the profession is well established and compensated, don't waste your money and time if you could see yourself doing anything else.
Hell... Undergrad might be sliding into this category as well.

Your environment would give a Victorian child a seizure.
So would watching a movie.

Elves. They're the vanilla ice cream of fantasy races. Oh wow an elf archer daring today arent we, let me guess smart? attractive? tall? skilled?
Goblins on the other hand they deserve more hype. They're awesome I love those little guys.

Nirvana.
The band.I missed the grunge movement in its peak but I got into Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Just couldn’t get into Nirvana beyond a few songs that I do like. Musically, I feel like both Pearl Jam and Soundgarden dwarf Nirvana.

Pussy until i got 14
I'm concerned that you have somehow acquired 14 pussies. I think you should turn yourself in.

I will also never understand the fascination with streaming. Just play the game, nerd.
Sometimes I just don’t have the time to play so I leave a streamer on in the background while I work and look at that screen every once in a while to catch s glimpse of a game that’s nostalgic and comfortable.

Having multiple monitors. My boss now has three. One is dedicated to displaying their calendar the whole day.
As someone who never understood multiple monitors, one day I just got a second one and now I feel working without a second monitor is limiting.
Having said that, I can’t see a use for a third monitor at all (not to say it’s completely useless. I’m sure some people find it useful).

listened to multiple neil young albums 3 times over and i still dont get why hes worshipped. only albums i even liked were some of harvest and his buffalo springfield stuff
His best work was with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Deja Vu is a banger of an album, but if you don’t dig it then you don’t dig it, no art is universal.

I respect Nirvana tremendously for the movement they ushered in. I cannot enjoy most of their music, however.
Foo fighters is a bit better, but I admit I pick and choose.

"Reality TV". Could anythjng be more contrived yet obviously "make it up as you go along"?
It's cheap to make. People watch other people at their packagable worst. That's about it.

Hard same.

That’s a use case I can agree with. Iff the two things you’re comparing actually take up the width of 1 monitor, each.
OK so now imagine 4 things you’re doing and they take up the width of one monitor each. Ok, now expand that to a different metaphor. Imagine your kitchen, but you only have enough counter space for just the cutting board. Anytime you need to put something in a pan you have to hold the cutting board in one hand and pull a pan out and then put whatever is on the cutting board onto the pan, etc. Imagine cooking an entire meal like this. It would be a nightmare.
If you’re working on one thing, and that one thing requires referencing several different things, then having to juggle them rather than just look to a different monitor slows you down significantly. I don’t think you necessarily need 8 monitors, that sounds like a neck injury waiting to happen, but 2-4 is almost necessary in any workplace or even playing video games at home (game wiki on one screen, game on the other).

yeah ive heard deja vu as well. i remember somewhat liking it. id probably have to listen again

The idea is to be a cog in which you can get lost and do minimal work while collecting a fat paycheck
It's impossible to be an expert at everything a project needs.
Being part of a team that knows how to perform together to achieve very challenging goals is quite an experience.
I've been part of multiple projects that migrated/extended/moved extensive, broad-reaching, crazy complex systems with serious financial and life/safety risks (things like fire alarm systems that trigger suppression and alert fire departments).
The satisfaction of knowing it was done in time (no loss of monitoring), no one got hurt, no penalties or fines were paid because we maintained regulatory compliance, etc, is fantastic.
It's the teamwork. I've been a key performer on such projects, and could not have done it myself - it's just not possible.
Figuring out a critical path with all sorts of unpredictable risks requires strong understanding of these systems, and the capabilities of the groups you'll engage along the way.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Bleach and Incesticide weren't particularly good albums. Generic rock pulp, the songs were interchangeable.
EIDT: I'd argue it's their live shows that made them stand out. "Live and Loud" electrified me to no end.
