Love it guys!

[@ausreir]

Social sciences are nebulous so take it with a grain of salt. But I've read that due to falling purchase power, many members of the younger generation feels locked out of many things their parents took for granted, such a starting a family and purchasing real estate. With no improvement in sight, we become increasingly traumatised and become easy prey to services that monetise our porn addiction.

[@LAK_770]

​@@ausreir yeah this is the core issue. In 1960, a high school graduate with no skills could get a manufacturing job that paid the equivalent of ~$65k yearly. Meanwhile, an average family home cost about $75k, you could pay for a top-tier college education with a part-time job, competition for jobs and college was practically nonexistent, etc. There was trust in institutions, taxes actually paid for comprehensive services, and there was no social media systematically amplifying the most insipid, toxic, and corrosive aspects of human society. Climate change is becoming impossible to ignore, AI is threatening to upend society in the forseeable future, and stable western governments are falling into the authoritarian trap left and right. I'm fully aware of the "kids these days" fallacy and the tendency for people to always consider their time to be unique, but things are objectively on the brink right now.

[@ryana5435]

This episode is called “trash taste” and they said many times before, you shouldn’t take their words seriously. Conner said something like Japan is weird not allowing gay marriage but allowing a guy married to his DS in the middle part of this episode. However, I think it’s a BRUH moment for me. His point says a lot about himself. He think minorities like gay should be supported and gay marriage should be allowed in Japan, but minorities like fictosexuals are weirdos, their marriages are not allowed and they shouldn’t existed. Later he said “I felt torn because this guys looks genuinely happy, and I think people are entitled to their happiness”. So this is another example shows Conner is monke and always spitting out some random illogical self-contradictory nonsense bullshit without a logically consistent understanding in his own mind. He is kind of boomer is this sense and 5 steps of grief/facepalm/disbelief is kind of gold he finally said “it can’t be real, it gotta be publicity stunt, I don’t believe this is true” and Joey on the side just started to laugh🤣 Even though he explained what is asexual, I think he don’t a thing called “fictosexual”. And he don’t know in English speaking circle, fictosexual is considered as a member of asexual spectrum. (Reference: r/Asexual. “A visualization of the Asexuality Spectrum. 2022-02-03.)

[@DELLBOYDYL]

3 minutes in and Garnt is repeating something Conor literally just said 20 seconds earlier

[@JarlBalgruff_]

Honestly, Garnt's right about loneliness. I just recently learned to be comfortable in my own shoes and accept being alone. I used to feel very lonely and left out during my 11th and 12th grades, and I didn't really score well either, I was barely passing Physics and Chemistry lol. I just never wanted to study, and I went on a weird Henti and pron addiction, even tolerating and being exposed to weird kinks I never had in my wildest dreams. It just went on a downward spiral where I'd watch the most f-ed up stuff and feel nothing about it. I was an addict looking for a new fix. Add that to betrayals, I was basically a recluse. But getting into university, I just buried myself with work and projects and stuff like that so that no stray thought goes to my weird addiction. The thing is, it worked for a while, until I got my next horrible breakdown where I was just a mess for 4 months. I just couldn't stop crying lol. I'd get out and I'd just burst out crying for no reason. Like ugly sobbing and stuff, and I really didn't know how to deal with that at all. Therapy is basically non-existent in India, and I was just told to "not be sad" which didn't help. It was so goddamn hard to move out of that mindset and if I hadn't done some radical changes, I'd still be miserable. Then, I started watching Trash Taste, and I found out that I wasn't alone, and everyone goes through that at some point in their lives. If I had money to burn, and there was a premium option in Tinder, I'd have 100% taken up on that offer, even if I knew that it didn't work. It's weird, but seeing you guys talk, I just copied some of your mannerisms, and I slowly built my confidence. I also kind of gave up trying to find happiness while being lonely (not like extreme Hikikomori, more like I stopped thinking too much about it.) That worked for me, and 2023 was basically the year I was rebuilding my life after 3 of my friends stabbed me in the back. It's a daily struggle to not get into the same mindset I was. I've traded in bad habits for other bad habits. I'm noticeably fatter and have some binge eating problems, but out of all the 21 years of my life, this is the best version I've been in. I'm able to earn decent money and not depend on my parents, which not many people have the privilege to. TL:DR; Loneliness if a slow poison and it's hard but anyone can pull themselves out if you make a conscious effort. And boys, your weekly episodes have genuinely changed me for the better. You taught me to value my life as a human being even more and not waste my time trying to salvage broken relationships. I know this won't be seen, but thanks a lot boys!

[@Verchiel_]

Happy to hear it's getting better. Even if there are still issues you're dealing with, steadily working on fixing them can be a snowball effect. The further you improve parts of your life, become more confident, knowledgeable, connected, the easier it is to grow and eventually fix other things like your appearance or a better living situation. I admittedly say this not speaking from personal experience, having barely passed high school (though socially i progressed quite a bit. Going from a quiet kid to a quiet kid that isn't a total social wreck.) I'm neglecting doing things that would better my future, soon to be 21. I live in a pretty toxic household with not a lot of opportunities I know of, solely hinging on the dream of sooner or later leaving and living on my own for some time, expecting that while it may be really hard, it'd still let me leave the stagnant part of my life.

[@sagemaster1357]

So glad your doing OK now. I too have an porn addiction and it has effected me from making friends or relationships with people.

[@sodecdash9336]

Really happy you're doing better and could gain lots out of the times with Trash Taste. "Anyone can pull themselves out if you make a conscious effort" is a hard gut punch to me though. I feel so useless and have no more energy or motivation to try in the first place. I don't even know what to try.

I remember when he posted up his proper move to Japan in vlogs on the Joey channel, was deffo different times.

[@LAK_770]

​@@Freya_Blue yeah if you're on the borderline, it's however you identify. The exact cutoffs are ultimately arbitrary, and the definitions are hazy in the first place. It's all about average experience - as soon as you look at individuals and edge cases it loses meaning. However, there is a gigantic difference between the Millennials who remember a pre-internet world and didn't have social media until uni, and everyone born afterward. This throws a wrench into the whole thing because it's a different criteria that's out of phase with the formal generational cutoffs.

I for one, don't find loneliness painful. It's quite peaceful actually. I try to live by a few things. 1. If you can't take it 24 hours at a time, it ain't going to get better with a partner. Learn to tolerate solitude. 2. Prioritise long-term wellbeing over short-term happiness. Work at something, no matter how small, and dedicate time to it. 3. Don't take yourself too seriously. The world will not notice if I disappeared tomorrow and I'm perfectly okay with that.

@crushinnihilism I really like this comment! I think there are a lot of problems with constantly having your mind occupied with internet bs. But also y'know, I think their point was that having a place to live and food to eat is getting ridiculously expensive for the average person compared to previous generations. My mom bought her first home at 22 with a baby, now I'm 22 and I can't imagine being able to afford a down payment OR a child as a single parent, let alone both. The TT bois are rich KZbinrs, but they are still aware of and empathetic to the way most people struggle right now and I appreciate that.

[@crushinnihilism]

@@luvuberrymuch49 firstly, thank you. I think not being in the matrix sometimes is important. Secondly, I get suspect about these claims about living. The same people complaining about money are eating out every night and frequent starbucks. Im worknat walmart, and Its always people living outside their means who complain about how expensive life is. That said, epmires rise and fade. As does the value of currency. All currency eventually trades at 0. We were just born at an unfortunate time of a grand cycle.

[@iantaakalla8180]

The funny thing is that he is not wrong; evolutionarily, having good memories is because information is not permanent. Once you not only get it down but also standardize it such that you do not have to remember, over time remembrance becomes less necessary and people forget stuff more easily.

Connors point about being pessimistic towards the future resonated with me. I graduate high school this year (Grade 12) and I seriously don't know what to look forward to. Especially considering housing and such is so bad and only getting worse. The only thing I and my friends can do is to try to look through a positive lens, and enjoy the small things in life. :)

Dude, even like say 2 decades ago, you were not going to buy a house immediately after graduation. You were still going to struggle with college debt, and likely not own a home until you got married and got like a family in your late 20's early 30's.

[@foogoowoman9523]

Housing is going to be the least of our worries. This cope that "every generation says the next generation is doomed" doesn't hold water. We've never lived in a world more susceptible to pandemics (due to Gain of Function research and increased global travel), previous generations weren't facing a near future when much of the earth can no longer support crops and billions die from starvation and wars of migration, mental health has never been so fucked because humanity is not built for the internet, AI is a much bigger threat than people realize, and another thing people don't realize is that the threat of nuclear war is as high as it's ever been. The world IS fucked in ways it never has been before

[@chiblast100x]

@@OhGeeGanksta To be fair, he didn't say "buying a house"; he said "housing". Many US universities have hit a point of not having enough on campus housing to meet the needs of the incoming freshmen they require to live on campus, and upperclassmen in many universities are fighting to find off-campus housing they can afford, even with six to eight people paying for it, that's close enough to campus.

As someone who's been watching Trash Taste weekly since near the very beginning, I will say that I am very excited to see the new forms of videos in the new year, though I always will appreciate and look forward to the regular episodes of the boys just sitting down and chatting for two hours. This podcast has consistently brought me joy every week since that first time I clicked on the channel. Trash Taste gave me a place of belonging and just gave me something consistent in a time where so much was going on and changing, and still, so much is going on and changing. And yet, no matter what I had going on in my life, I knew I had a Trash Taste episode at the end of the week I could sit back and enjoy, and escape everything for two hours. And in the same way that you guys were here for me, I will be here at the end of every week, no matter the circumstances, to sit back, watch Trash Taste, and support you boys. I wish y'all the best in the new year!!

I just got engaged to my boyfriend who was my first and only date from tinder! Before that I had only ever dated girls I met irl. But one day I had been single for a few months so I decide to try online dating just to find a summer flirt, and because I thought it might be easier to find out gay people that way since we’re a rare breed here haha. I made an account and within five minutes he super liked me and sent me a message, a few days later we had an amazing first date, half a year later I moved in with him, and three years after that he proposed. I’m fully aware that my experience isn’t the norm tho, because my fiancé has a ton of tinder horror stories. He entertains me with the tales of his suffering sometimes, and I tease him with how he had to do all the work and kiss all the frogs while I just made an account for about five minutes😂❤️

My Uni never forced me to buy books. They literally suggested books written by them or other colleagues and never pushed further. In fact the provided some books for free.

[@jackleface2903]

it because we have less time to watch, this year a lot of people got back to work. so the guys were doing so much stuff for there own youtube stuff that podcast fell to the side for them and watching enough of trash tastes you slowly get the feeling that they want to cut back on the podcast just to get throught it.

i got a ticket to the live show but never went, found out too late it was at an awkward location but then realised i wasnt watching since a few of the guests didnt click for me, then i saw the show a bit differently since i think.

@@jackleface2903completely disagree i truly just believe its a natural phenomena for most podcasts that don’t have guests on every week or talk about actual news that they will all simply run out of things to talk about that interest people and again over time will die out. Additionally for non NA viewers the constant tours would produce several shit filler episodes with nothing in them just due to trash taste wanting to stick to never missing an upload.

[@Verchiel_]

Alcohol is so prevalent in almost every culture on earth solely because it makes socializing easier because it raises your confidence. The drawbacks that come with it are absolutely miserable. Outside of some cocktails, alcoholic drinks taste horrible and anyone who says they're drinking for the taste is a liar. And just the amount of bad things that happen because of alcohol sucks so much, entire families falling apart, people being harmed. I wish alcohol didn't exist even if the one good thing about it is perfect for humans.

[@aliwaleed2004]

@Jepze158 Unfortunately, this is something you find in a lot of Muslims these days, even in muslim-majority countries. Even though things like drinking alcohol or eating pork are absolutely forbidden to us, some people use this excuse that "only Allah can judge." to get away with things. It's different, of course, if they're sincerely trying to quit, as that's encouraged in islam. So yeah, what he said was BS unless he was sincere about quitting alcohol.

In my country teachers would never force you to buy a certain book, and especially in University, teachers only suggest which one they prefer, but no one is forced to use one in particular. And on top of that, a lot of my teachers also told us not to buy them because they are expensive and instead suggested to use the ones of the library, which is free. I think some teachers even shared with us their pdf versions of the book so that we didn't need to buy them.
