People overshare too much on the internet
I don’t overshare. I’m actually a very private person. I mean sure, I mentioned in passing that my ex left me during a thunderstorm while I was holding a lasagna in one hand and an IKEA Allen key in the other, because we were arguing over which bookshelf best represented our emotional maturity—but that’s not oversharing. That’s setting the scene. And yeah, maybe I told my dentist about the existential crisis I had in the frozen peas aisle last Tuesday when I realized I’d become the kind of person who compares the price-per-kilo on vegetables, but that’s just bonding. You know, connection. Community. Not oversharing. God forbid. It’s not like I walk up to strangers and tell them I once cried during a shampoo commercial because the narrator said “revitalise your roots” and it felt too personal. That would be ridiculous. I’m composed. Stoic, even.
Kids don’t need “gentle parenting” - they need boundaries
I agree with this, but I would say yes, and they need gentle parenting when those boundaries are crossed. Boundaries are important, but so is respect, discussion, allowing them to have boundaries of their own, and showing them love and kindness when they f*ck up, while still maintaining the boundaries and consequences that were set out.
Naps during the day should be normalized at every job
Smartphones made people worse at thinking
The “good old days” weren’t actually better
I'm a boomer, and the optimism and confidence I felt for the world in general back in the 70s is gone now. Know things have gone somewhat better for some people since then and definitely better for a lot of people before then, but I feel like now we're all on a downward trend.
Modern art is just expensive nonsense
You can't make a generalized statement like that and expect it to be true in all cases.
Awards shows are just rich people giving each other gifts
Or just popularity contests. The best nominee is not always the winner.
It’s okay to not care about birthdays - even your own
I think you should care about others bdays if you love them and they care about bdays. Part of loving them is caring what they care about.
Not everyone deserves a second chance
I can think of one orange dìckbag that didn't deserve a second chance.
People stay in bad relationships just to avoid being alone
Many times, yes. But I don't agree where abüse is involved - the fear of leaving an àbusive partner is real and valid, even if they'd rather be alone.
Not wanting to meet your partner’s family is valid
If the partner is NC with their family, then yeah. Otherwise why wouldn't you?
Crying in public should be normalized
I said Not Sure because I've seen too many drama Queens/Kings just getting attention.
Small talk is a waste of time
Emotional cheating is worse than physical cheating
Wearing shoes inside should be banned
Musicals are annoying to watch
Depends on the musical. Sound of Music is a very different movie than Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
Soup is not a meal
Depends entirely on what sort of sort of soup and whether it is served alone or with toast or garlic bread.
Leftovers are better than the original meal
“Travel changes you” is just a cliché
Every long-term memory changes the person, it's how the brain works. But the change doesn't necessary make the person better or be noticeable at all.
Making your home “aesthetic” is a waste of money
If you like the way your home looks, more power to you, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Working from the office is better than remote work
Too many questions were not suitable for across-the-board answers, making the whole quiz somewhat invalid.
Having a "Fill in your own thoughts" blank space would have been a good addition to the choices.
