Lines at Starbucks and Dutch Bros is conformity for most part. Why do you need coffee at all? If so, why can’t you make it at home? I see a line full of cars and think to myself: You wouldn’t have to wait in line if you just bothered to spend 5 minutes making it a home. Conformity.

Another is the expectation for men to pay for the first date or to make the first move or “be a provider.”

It is only through consciousness and its cultivation that one’s passions, one’s focus, one’s curiosity, one’s time, and one’s capacity to love can be actualized and lived to the fullest.” - r0ckyreed

@r0ckyreed Why go to a restaurant at all?

There are conformist and nonconformist reasons for that.
