Charity or more exactly some charities. Sure there are good charities that have good intentions but there are bad charities out there as well.

Even if you donate to a good charity that money can still fall in the hands of terrible people. A perfect example of this would be Live Aid in 1985.

Full English breakfast and British baked beans.

As someone in North America whose ancestry is plurality English. I am just thankful I didn't grow up in the UK that eats baked beans. Even a good amount of Brits stay away from it since a lot of times their favourite food is curry.

Scented sunscreens. I was at the pool and I put on this vanilla scented sunscreen and it was one of the most irritating smells I ever smelled, it was gross.

why


Back in 2017 there was some messed up stuff that happened on the platform that wasn’t very kid friendly and went unnoticed by the corporate heads of YouTube themselves for awhile. Long story short, I was informed by my cousin who has 2 kids about the creepy and disturbing content she discovered on YouTube Kids. I saw it and thought to myself “People complained about Cartoon Network?! Where’s the outrage about this?!?” I have no idea how the platform is, these days but… eventually I saw more people complaining about the content and haven’t heard anything since. I know that even if it never existed there would still be creepy and disturbing content aiming at kids but I feel that YouTube Kids gave those people (who shouldn’t of been entertaining kids in the first place) a higher pedestal. That’s why I’ve said in the past to people “You always gotta know what your kids are watching online.”

Disclaimer this is just my opinion.

Hereditary last names. I don't oppose them because they are hereditary (In my opinion even things like inherited wealth is 100% legitimate). But how is it fair that one side of the family can have its name come to an end and the other side will likely live on.
