Cautious People Admit The Things That Make Them Immediately Lose Trust
Cautious People Admit The Things That Make Them Immediately Lose Trust
[rebelmouse-image 18346893 is_animated_gif=Trust issues define a generation.
Millenials have incredible trust issues. Study after study has shown that our generation trusts nothing that is thrown at them. Part of the reasoning for that may be because we so easily pick up cues from other people. So Redditor pmmecoolpianopics, looking more into our trust issues, asked the internet:
Here are some of the most trustworthy answers.
Spousal Denial
[rebelmouse-image 18346894 is_animated_gif=Badmouth their spouses. Anybody who has so little respect for their own life partners makes me wonder if can they respect anybody or anything.
The Scorpio Queen
[rebelmouse-image 18346895 is_animated_gif=Use their astrology sign as an excuse for s***** behavior or poor personality traits. "I'm just a Scorpio. Don't argue with me when I think I'm right." No, Jenny, you're just a b-tch. Work on it.
Beggars Being Choosers
[rebelmouse-image 18346896 is_animated_gif=People that don't pay back money they owe you. Hey sometimes they forget a few $ and that's understandable but if it happens more than twice regardless of the amount, I suddenly "have no cash on me". Ever.
Cell Phones A Plenty
[rebelmouse-image 18346897 is_animated_gif=Have more than 2 phones on them. 0 phones is ok, not everyone needs a cellphone. 1 is regular, a lot of people have a phone. 2 ok so you got a personal phone and a work phone. No problem. 3, they are up to something. Wether it be drugs or cheating.
Awesome
[rebelmouse-image 18346898 is_animated_gif=Talk way too much about how awesome they are
Use Your Pronouns
[rebelmouse-image 18346899 is_animated_gif=I don't trust people who insist on using my name in every sentence, I get the feeling they want to manipulate me or sell me something. It's the kind of shit I bet they learn in Salesman 101 to get suckers to trust them
Showing Off
[rebelmouse-image 18346900 is_animated_gif=those people who only bother you to get information out of you, or only pop up in your life when it is convenient for them. also, drug addicts who are too far gone because they are extremely manipulative and will say anything to get you on their side but all they want to do is drag you down with them because drugs matter the most to them.
Flakes
[rebelmouse-image 18346901 is_animated_gif=People who never commit to plans, but make sure they're holding that door open still. They're almost always opportunists who are just waiting for something better to come along. But just in case my plans are better they don't want to say no. They're almost always going to stand you up, or cancel last minute at some point.
So It's YOUR Fault!
[rebelmouse-image 18346902 is_animated_gif=ALWAYS have a reason why something wasn't their fault.
Bad Cop
[rebelmouse-image 18346903 is_animated_gif=get defensive when questioned.
Absolutely
[rebelmouse-image 18346904 is_animated_gif=I don't trust people who see the world in absolutes.
Framed
[rebelmouse-image 18346905 is_animated_gif=People with razor wire thin chin strap facial hair. Just why?
Carmen San Diego
[rebelmouse-image 18346906 is_animated_gif=Wear a long trenchcoat with the collar up & big sunglasses.
As God Is My Witness
[rebelmouse-image 18346907 is_animated_gif=people who take great pains to tell you how honest they are
Global Responsibility
[rebelmouse-image 18346908 is_animated_gif=Make a mess for the janitor to clean up because "I'm giving them a job"
Shhhhhh....
[rebelmouse-image 18346909 is_animated_gif=People who say, "Don't tell anyone but..." or, "I'm not supposed to say this to anyone but..." or some version of not being able to keep to themselves what was disclosed to them in confidence. It immediately tells me nothing I tell them is safe.
On The Way Down
[rebelmouse-image 18346910 is_animated_gif=Smile too much and call me darling, experience has showed me that people are always treating me as a child when they do that, and I can expect the same respect they give to a child
Which is "I will respect you untill you dare to argue back"
Clutter
[rebelmouse-image 18346911 is_animated_gif=i don't trust people who just throw their s*** on the floor when they're done with it like what the f-ck tim just put it in a fucking bin like 10 feet away or fucking put it your nasty cargo shorts pockets like what the frickin heck dude
Storytime
[rebelmouse-image 18346912 is_animated_gif=I don't trust people who have a story for everything. They're usually always lying to get you to like them.
My Name Is Elder Price
[rebelmouse-image 18346913 is_animated_gif=Who wear short sleeved shirts and a tie.
Alas
[rebelmouse-image 18346914 is_animated_gif=I don't trust people who wear those eyeglasses with the fake nose and moustache. They're usually very sketchy but, alas, not always.
Alpaca Your Bags
[rebelmouse-image 18346915 is_animated_gif=People who chew with their mouth open. Not only is it bad manners but it's downright disrespectful to the ears. I immediately think they're a sh-t human being or an alpaca and I'll be damned if I ever trust an alpaca again.

George R.R. Martin Just Confirmed A Popular 'Game Of Thrones' Fan Theory About White Walkers
Game of Thrones scribe George R.R. Martin is promoting his new book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, and provided insight into a group of characters fans have been waiting to learn more about.
As an author known to inject symbolism into the fantastical worlds he creates, Martin revealed that the icy group of White Walkers from Game of Thrones personified climate change.
What the ancient humanoid race of icy creatures stand for is a concept many have theorized all along.
Now fans received confirmation from the author himself.
Martin may have prognosticated climate change while he was writing GoT. The cold that transcends upon Westeros sounds eerily familiar.
"It's kind of ironic," Martin told the New York Times.
"Because I started writing 'Game of Thrones' all the way back in 1991, long before anybody was talking about climate change."
"But there is — in a very broad sense — there's a certain parallel there. And the people in Westeros are fighting their individual battles over power and status and wealth."
He added:
"And those are so distracting them that they're ignoring the threat of 'winter is coming,' which has the potential to destroy all of them and to destroy their world."
"And there is a great parallel there to, I think, what I see this planet doing here, where we're fighting our own battles. We're fighting over issues, important issues, mind you — foreign policy, domestic policy, civil rights, social responsibility, social justice. All of these things are important."
Martin continued:
"But while we're tearing ourselves apart over this and expending so much energy, there exists this threat of climate change, which, to my mind, is conclusively proved by most of the data and 99.9 percent of the scientific community. And it really has the potential to destroy our world."
"And we're ignoring that while we worry about the next election and issues that people are concerned about, like jobs."
Marten stressed the importance of caring for the environment, adding that protecting it should be a top priority.
"So really, climate change should be the number one priority for any politician who is capable of looking past the next election."
"We spend 10 times as much energy and thought and debate in the media discussing whether or not N.F.L. players should stand for the national anthem than this threat that's going to destroy our world."
When the author was asked if he could "pick the best real-world, present-day match — politicians, celebrities" and pair them up with corresponding characters from his novels, Martin answered: "Pass."
Fire and Blood: 300 Years Before a Game of Thrones, is expected to be released on November 20.

This Creepy Robot Phone Attachment Moves Just Like A Real Human Finger
Tapping on and swiping your mobile device just got a whole lot creepier thanks to an unnecessary invention. But there's clearly a market for these kinds of things, amirite?.
Introducing – MobiLimb, a finger-like attachment to your phone or tablet that aims to make your life easier and give you nightmares in the process.
The MobiLimb was created by researchers in France and is made up of "five servo motors, an Arduino microcontroller and a sensor, and it can do a number of unsettling things that are straight out of nightmares," according to Engadget.
MobiLimb: Augmenting Mobile Devices with a Robotic Limb #UIST2018 @ACMUIST https://t.co/vm0fqHe2ga— HCI Research (@HCI Research) 1538308062.0
Marc Teyssier, a PhD student and one of the researchers behind the project for the dismembered limb, legitimized its existence.
"In the spirit of human augmentation, which aims at overcoming human body limitations by using robotic devices, our approach aims at overcoming mobile device limitations (static, passive, motionless) by using a robotic limb."
@HacksterPro @marcteyssier This is terrible.— Jason TheVirtualFAE (@Jason TheVirtualFAE) 1538435690.0
Th MobiLimb can prop itself up so you can watch a video, or provide an alternate way to grip your device.
But there's one function that is really disturbing.
The articulated digit can be skinned to resemble a human finger, and it can stroke your wrist while you're using your phone.
Someone implied that single people could benefit from this invention as a companion.

Now here's a function not advertised by MobiLimb's creators.

Feelings are mixed. But the jury is in.

As to why such a creepy gadget was invented, we can't quite put our finger on it. But then, when it comes to consumers' needs, these guys may be out of touch.
Woman Was Fired For Refusing To Wear A Bra At Work—And Now She's Suing
Christina Schell, from Alberta, Canada, stopped wearing bras three years ago citing health reasons.
While Schell did not specify the health reasons, she did state she finds them to be "horrible."
But after her refusal to sign or adhere to a new enforced dress code policy to wear a bra or tank top under her work shirt at a golf course grill where she worked, Schell was promptly fired.
Now, the 25-year-old has filed a human rights violation against the Osoyoos Golf Club, Osoyoos, in British Columbia, Canada.
Schell said:
"I don't think any other human being should be able to dictate another person's undergarments."
When she asked the general manager, Doug Robb, why she had to comply, the manager told her the mandate was for her protection.
Robb allegedly said:
"I know what happens in golf clubs when alcohol's involved."
After losing her job, she brought the case to the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal and told them the club's dress code was discriminatory because the rule didn't apply towards male employees.
Schell told CBC:
"It's gender-based and that's why it's a human rights issue. I have nipples and so do the men."
David Brown, an employment lawyer in Kelowna, BC, said gender-specific dress codes could be viewed as discriminatory under the BC Human Rights Code.
He stated:
"It's an interesting question as to whether or not an employer can dictate the underwear that women can wear, but they don't say anything about the underwear that men can wear, and does that create an adverse impact on the individual?"
Brown added:
"If this policy is found to be discrimination, the next question is does the employer have a bonafide occupational requirement to essentially impose this on the individual?"
"I'm kind of scratching my head as to what that occupational requirement would be."

As for the tank top option, due to working under oftentimes extreme heat serving tables outsides, Schell did not want to wear another layer of clothes just because of her gender.
Schell said:
"It was absurd. Why do you get to dictate what's underneath my clothes?"
Employment lawyer Nadia Zaman told CBC that the club can enforce a gender-specific policy as they deem necessary as long as the establishment can prove it is for the occupational safety of its workers.
But the attorney questioned if forcing female employees to wear a bra was applicable in this case.
Zaman stated:
"If they simply require that female employees wear a bra but then they don't have a similar requirement for males, and they can't really justify that … then there is a risk that their policy's going to be deemed to be discriminatory."
Under British Columbia's discrimination law, it is illegal for employers:
'to discriminate against any individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin'.

McDonald's employee Kate Gosek, 19, agrees with Schell in that the dress code is "unnecessary." She too was harassed by her employers at a McDonald's in Selkirk, Manitoba, over refusing to wear a bra.
"She just told me that I should put on a bra because, McDonald's—we are a polite restaurant and no one needs to see that."
Schell's case sparked plenty of debates on Twitter.
