Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

Finishing your whole plate.

Leave some for the insects, rodents, homeless or fungi!

If you're full, put it away for later or throw it away. Or give it to the dawg.

Don't let Granny tell you what you do. You're a grown up.

Its especially evident if you grew up in a poor family with not a lot of money

Oh yes.

The whole "gamer" identity and sub-culture is silly.

The experience of human identity is conformity upon conformity upon more conformity.

Literally. The earth being round is not obvious. Most people can't even prove it. Honestly I can't prove it, I can just say that I've been around the world, all our maps work so the earth is probably round. Another big give away for me, is I've seen other planets through a telescope and their round, so earth being round makes sense. 

It frustrates me how earth being round is just this fact you should know, if you question it your a dumb dumb. But no-one fucking questions it. 

Like I really do believe the earth is round, but if I am being a 100 percent honest, I can't definitivley prove it to someone right now on the spot, nor have I ever cared to learn the physics to prove it for myself. Thats most people let's be honest.

Asking the viewer to like and subscribe in the beginning go the video.

I actually noticed a shift. Long ago, the ask to like and subscribe is always at the end, but now everyone does it in the beginning. Like that to me was just conformity. It makes less sense to ask for a sub in the beginning, you haven't watched the video.

It's not conformity, it is done because 80% of people never watch more than 30% of a video.

Chasing after subs count is conformity though.

New Year’s Resolutions. You should be setting goals regardless of what day it is. Of course, there is a non-conformist way to go about setting a New Year’s Resolution. But it’s all hyped up conformity with people going to the gym and then quitting. Shows you it was conformity in the first place, not a true goal or “resolution.” If it was a genuine goal, you wouldn’t quit 3 weeks in.

There is something that smells like conformity in Vipassana retreats but I can’t put my finger on it.

So you work in construction management?  That's an interesting progression?  How is that working out for you?  

 Zero segue 🙃

I work in the building industry - as a general contractor. I had no skill in the domain prior to joining this business. I learned it all from experience & just applying myself (as well as couching from someone with 35 years in the industry) I am rather persistent even following failure - making an error tends to force me to drive for corrective measures in my knowledge and application. I feel like this is really main quality I have that has lead to success. Resilience.

It is really a challenging job that pushes me to my very limit. 

The best parts about it are creative problem solving & working with hard constraints and variety: no 2 builds are the same. Ever. Many ways to skin a cat. How well you choose the skin the bastard is a function of skill, knowledge, communication & experience. On time and within budget.

We do not do domestic - and when I think on it, I wouldn't be half as invested if we did; one of the biggest drivers for me is supporting society by building hospitals, medical centres, science and education facilities.

Very, very rewarding and difficult field (to excel in). Which is probably why you see so much bad construction
