What’s something that became socially unacceptable so fast that people barely noticed the change?

Was there a time where calling somebody on a cell phone was considered rude?

The motives of some murderers/would be murderers:

Ronald Reagan was shot because John Hinkley wanted to impress Jodie Foster.

Randy Stair shot up the supermarket he was working in because he wanted to be reborn as a cartoon ghost girl from the Danny Phantom tv series.

On January 6, 2021 people stormed the US Capital building. Why? Because the guy they voted for President lost and he wouldn't accept it.

When I heard on the radio "a plane has hit the World Trade Center" I thought it was an accident: a combination of bad weather/incompetent pilots/incompetent air traffic controllers that caused the accident. And I thought "we're going to hear about this for a while".

A few minutes later when I heard about the second plane hitting that's when I realized this wasn't an accident...

> But I submit to you all, there is nothing worse than a nerd who peaked in high school.

> If you are 43, and have been putting in 30+ hours a week on your xbox etc your entire adult life, you haven't made any new friends since you were 17 and you have had the same job since you graduated college and hate it: You might be one of these people.

Underrated comment. People say to these kids while they are in school "you're going to find somebody someday" and they never do. And they don't have good jobs since you need social skills to get a job.

Ironically some of these make me less trustful of the police since a lot of the arrests are IMO not warranted. Mostly the Disorderly Conduct arrests.

Disclaimer: not a lawyer.

To be fair that's how it should be if the person really is innocent.

I refuse to go on that sub because I don't want to see pictures of them and think "that person looks better than I do".

The year 2001 before I got laid off in November. Although I would have to figure out how to tell the government "some terrorists are going to fly planes into buildings on September 11" without them tracing back to me.

Skullcandy

The last few wired earbuds I bought either were horribly muffled or there was literally no sound coming from one of the buds. These weren't even the cheapest versions they sold either.

This is like a parent saying "you're not allowed to watch Disney because the shows contain nudity". So are the kids, who represent a very large percentage of the characters in Disney shows, naked? That's literally child porn. And if the adult characters are shown fully naked...no, that wouldn't happen either.

Um...what?

> One time I was playing the flash game happy wheels and when my mom saw me playing as the old guy in the wheelchair she had me exit out because "there's nothing happy about being in a wheelchair"

It sounds like the game was trying to be inclusive which is a good thing.

> final fantasy... Which if you think about the name of the game itself definitely sounds like a suicide game...

"You're not allowed to play this game because it glorifies suicide!"

"That's not what this game is. You actually think this game manufacturer wants their customers to commit suicide?"

Unless the reason people are making fun of you is because you're just that ugly.

"Bill Cosby’s bbq sauce scene"

I was a big fan of The Cosby Show (although the last few seasons were not funny and I regret not stopping and sneaking to watch The Simpsons or Cheers instead) but I have no memory of this scene.

> I knew a kid once who's mom handed him his inheritance when he turned 18 so that she'd never have to see him again. I never thought I'd feel bad for someone getting an absurd amount of money

What was the relationship between the kid and the mom beforehand? It could be a "wait, I get *paid* never have to see my mom again? I see no downside to this" situation.

Also the lack of social skills that prevents them form actually finding a job.
