Vaulted ceilings. Most of the space becomes unusable because you can't stand up or fit furniture in the space. I'm not a fan of high vaulted ceilings either.

Instagram can now transcribe voice notes which is a godsend. If Zuck could just hurry up and put the same feature in WhatsApp I’d never have to listen to one again.

Absolutely this! My friend sent me a 19 minute voice note a few weeks ago. 19 minutes! Granted she’s just moved and had a lot to say but good grief!
Why are they always so bleeping long and they always shave traffic in the background so you can't hear them

My sister WhatsApped me the other day to ask me to fill her in on a massive drama I'd had with my car...just send a voice note she said! To be fair it was quicker than typing it all out but I felt a bit of an idiot doing it!

Recycling. Not hate per se but I see this obsessive recycling rules odd. It does nothing to solve the existing problem of too much production and overconsumption, apart from easing conscience maybe. The focus is never on creating less waste, but they also never stop coming up with more tedious ways to recycle, half of which is a hoax. A good amount of "recycling" is just gathered and shipped to poor countries to fester for years and years. Same goes for all those donated old clothes and fabric recycling bins.

Exactly this. We should/could be mending or make do with things. But they purposely make stuff now not built to last,so we continue to spend. Clothing and furniture now especially is disgusting quality,the Vintage market will not exist in a 20 years time as the clothes and eoidcuip furniture will have long gone

It’s all smoke and mirrors, let’s stop single use bags, buy a bag for life, so muppets buy these fabric bags, but don’t use them repeatedly for shopping oh no bring them home and fill with rubbish. Does anybody know how long these will take to break down?

AI. People are going to lose their ability to use their brains and think independently.
I think some for sure will lose that and others will use it as a tool to become better at things and get further ahead. Just the same as people used to say using google was bad as no one can find things in an encyclopedia or whatever.

Exactly, they've done an amazing job convincing regular ordinary people that climate crisis and pollution is their fault, and not the fast fashion and conglomerates and billionaires.

I like to rinse my recycling, just using the pressure from the tap it takes no time. In my mind it's nicer for the people sorting at the plant to have to deal with.

I do recycle and usually rinse stuff out (unless I’m feeling lazy), but I really resent having to do it for the same reasons stated above
