First off, I find it hard to remember if his name is Driver or Diver. I just had to google it. I’m sick of being corrected when I say the wrong one. Second, why is he so popular? Isn’t he a guy from the Girls<\/em><\/a> TV series? Why is now the leading man in so many movies?<\/p>\n

He is too tall and his voice is annoying. It sounds like he’s speaking through a Muppet costume. He is both too much and too little. His performance in that movie about Marriage is excruciating. I just don’t want him. Is he somehow an appendage of Adam Sandler, who I obviously also hate?<\/p>\n

Here’s my next\u00a0 choice and I don’t know if there’s an actual term for this. It’s the Instagram girl with a zillion followers who appears to offer nothing more than an array of plastic surgery and cosmetic debacles. Huge boobs, gigantic lips, voluminous hair extensions, pounds of make-up, long pointy nails and fake eyelashes. What are these girls for?? I can’t tell them apart except for the two categories of hair color. The brunettes are usually exotic\/ethnic looking and the blondes look like generic porn actresses.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Instagram, I’m also sick of the positivity posts. They’re all like,<\/p>\n

“I’ve worked so hard the last year and there have been pitfalls along the way but I’m learning to love myself more and I’m so grateful to god for bla bla bla and I know my path is bla bla bla.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Who gives a shit? Can’t they save this for their shrink or life coach or BFF? It’s so faux-spiritual and pointless. Do they think that social media is a cheering section for them personally? I don’t even get it but make it stop.<\/p>\n
I would like to stop seeing the term gut-health<\/em>. Nothing about gut or guts. Nothing about prebiotics or inflammation. People should only discuss their digestive system with close friends and medical experts.<\/p>\n
As a human being and a female, I don’t need to read about how women are powerful, with a list of this year’s Most Powerful or a list of women’s accomplishments. Women make up half of the world’s population so stop trying to position them as a rare population. I mean, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
I don’t want any more think pieces about tribalism. We get it already!<\/p>\n
I don’t want to hear about your best life. I don’t want to hear about optimizing anything. I don’t want to hear about micro-dosing. I DO<\/em> want to hear about which strains of weed are the best for creativity or relaxing, so hit me up if you know.<\/p>\n
I hate myself for writing “hit me up.” So many of our trendy expressions are contagious! I now say the word “ew” with two distinct syllables, “ew-uh.” But I will never, ever, describe something good as “fire.” Ew-uh!<\/p>\n
I’m through with tracking the latest Twitter beefs. It’s exhausting. And when I try to tell someone, “guess who everybody’s mad at on Twitter!” no one wants to know.<\/p>\n
Obviously I’m through with wellness and self-care. Everyone needs to redirect themselves to care for OTHERS! We already care far too much about our own selves. Trust advertising to persuade us that we’ve been neglecting ourselves. It’s the greatest ruse since “rinse, repeat<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
I’m planning a list of banned words for 2020, to publish at Miista<\/strong><\/a>. Feel free to share yours, as well as shit you don’t want any more of. Extra points if you can explain why we have Adam Driver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I’m just going to jump in with Adam Driver. I know he’s not the world’s biggest threat or even irritant, but I’ve been wanting to complain about him for ages.
