~~Dude, take a holiday from your head. This is not healthy.~~
Edit: I have been informed that I misread the flipping off as the finger used to take the picture on the phone. Oh boy, do I feel silly now. I leave my comments up for everybody else to have a sensible chuckle on my expense.

He's just quickly sharing something he dislikes that crossed his mind, not going on a five-page rant about the German stare or crocs. Is that your reaction to anything that isn't "nice"? To each their own, I guess, but I enjoy my two minutes of (very soft) hate here and there...
Obsessing what finger other people use on their phone is not healthy regardless length of post. How do you even notice? Why is it inside OPs mind?
And for being an overwhelmingly leftist community, it is quite hypocritical to be judging people for trivial superficialities that affects absolutely nothing or nobody.
A finger. On a phone.
I can judge how the wind feels on my face, doesn't mean I'm obsessed with it. And one can think someone is morally upright/prosocial/nice and still think they're doing something trashy, it's not so all or nothing like that. But okay.
You... project societal values on weather?
Well, you got me there. I'm going to take my dog for a walk in the chivalry sun with a light arrogant breeze and enjoy the day without injecting myself in other peoples casual business.
The what now?

Huh.
Looks at what instance they're on
Posts something that would adequately fit on said instance

...Your point?
What are you on about now?
My point is that you are judging people by something as superficial and pointless as what finger they are using on their phones as if people do mundane things to get inside you head. How do you even notice a thing like that? How do you come to the conclusion that it is trashy?
How do you tie your shoelaces? Which foot do you start walking with? Do you stir your coffee and in what direction? Are those trashy behaviours?
I'm pretty sure they're talking about when people are flipping off the camera in photos not physically pressing the capture button on their phones with the middle finger.

Oooooohhhhh!
Lightbulb moment. . Thank you.
