Tattoos People Judge You For: The Brutal Truth
It is roughly estimated that around 32% of American adults have at least one tattoo. And, although tattoo styles are subjective, there are some that a lot of people simply do not like. In fact, some admit they will judge a person for simply having a certain kind of tattoo. Most everyone agrees with Reddit user u/IaniteThePirate who says they despise anyone with hate symbols. And "nazi, racist, white power shit gets the big 'fuck you,'" said u/RoodogNYC. And here are 19 other tattoos that the people of Reddit say they judge others for having: "I try really hard not to judge, but the times I have are when I see Confederate flag tattoos. They just…. Give me the ick." "The 'Only God can judge me' tattoos." "I have some kind of thoughts about (and avoid) people that use the navel or a nipple as some animals wtf already." "'Alpha male' tatted across the back." "Significant others' names. Just don't do it y'all." "I think hentai tattoos are disgusting, and I automatically assume that people who get them are stupid perverts." "Super American tattoos like eagles holding a confederate flag in one talon and a rifle on the other." "A lion wearing a crown… great way to let the world know that you have no personality." "Tattoos of serial killers or serial killer paraphernalia. I saw one artist on Instagram who had a flash sheet of items associated with various killers (like Dahmer's glasses, Bundy's car, etc.). People were RAVING about how much they wanted them. It's disgusting." "I instantly judge people on an anchor with 'I refuse to sink' or something similar. The whole point of an anchor is 👏 to 👏 sink 👏." "That feather turning into a flock of birds that every basic white girl got five years ago." "'90s tribal, I assume you drive a lifted truck with truck nuts." "Any misspelled or wrong translation tattoos." "I don't love weed-related, gaming, Spongebob, and Disney tattoos, but I'm sure most of the people who get them are lovely (and they prob don't like my work either)." "Cherry dripping juice, Winnie the Pooh, and Tweety Bird. Lots of girls got these in high school." "Lion clock roses." "NSFW stuff on visible places 🙅♂️." "Curly mustaches on their finger." And lastly: "Putting your last name on you, cringe." Got any others to add to the list?! Or maybe you want to show us your own, and why it is unique! Use the anonymous comments form below to share:

Paramount's (NASDAQ:PARA) Q1 Sales Beat Estimates
Multinational media and entertainment corporation Paramount (NASDAQ:PARA) reported Q1 CY2025 results beating Wall Street's revenue expectations , but sales fell by 6.4% year on year to $7.19 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.29 per share was 12% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Paramount? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $7.19 billion vs analyst estimates of $7.10 billion (6.4% year-on-year decline, 1.3% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.29 vs analyst estimates of $0.26 (12% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $688 million vs analyst estimates of $642.5 million (9.6% margin, 7.1% beat) Operating Margin: 7.6%, up from -5.4% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 1.7%, down from 2.7% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $8.28 billion Owner of Spongebob Squarepants and formerly known as ViacomCBS, Paramount Global (NASDAQ:PARA) is a major media conglomerate offering television, film production, and digital content across various global platforms. Reviewing a company's long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Regrettably, Paramount's sales grew at a weak 1.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This fell short of our benchmarks and is a rough starting point for our analysis. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within consumer discretionary, a stretched historical view may miss a company riding a successful new product or trend. Paramount's performance shows it grew in the past but relinquished its gains over the last two years, as its revenue fell by 2.3% annually. We can dig further into the company's revenue dynamics by analyzing its three most important segments: TV Media, Direct-to-Consumer, and Filmed Entertainment, which are 63.1%, 28.4%, and 8.7% of revenue. Over the last two years, Paramount's Direct-to-Consumer revenue (streaming) averaged 21.9% year-on-year growth while its TV Media (broadcasting) and Filmed Entertainment (movies) revenues averaged 7.6% and 4.3% declines. This quarter, Paramount's revenue fell by 6.4% year on year to $7.19 billion but beat Wall Street's estimates by 1.3%. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to remain flat over the next 12 months. While this projection implies its newer products and services will catalyze better top-line performance, it is still below average for the sector. Software is eating the world and there is virtually no industry left that has been untouched by it. That drives increasing demand for tools helping software developers do their jobs, whether it be monitoring critical cloud infrastructure, integrating audio and video functionality, or ensuring smooth content streaming.

Think of it as net income - the bottom line - excluding the impact of taxes and interest on debt, which are less connected to business fundamentals. Paramount's operating margin has been trending down over the last 12 months and averaged negative 6.7% over the last two years. Unprofitable consumer discretionary companies with falling margins deserve extra scrutiny because they're spending loads of money to stay relevant, an unsustainable practice. In Q1, Paramount generated an operating profit margin of 7.6%, up 13.1 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development, especially since its revenue fell, showing it was more efficient because it scaled down its expenses. Revenue trends explain a company's historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth – for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Sadly for Paramount, its EPS declined by 23.5% annually over the last five years while its revenue grew by 1.6%. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. In Q1, Paramount reported EPS at $0.29, down from $0.65 in the same quarter last year. Despite falling year on year, this print easily cleared analysts' estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Paramount's full-year EPS of $1.21 to grow 23.6%. It was encouraging to see Paramount beat analysts' EPS expectations this quarter. We were also happy its EBITDA outperformed Wall Street's estimates. On the other hand, its Filmed Entertainment revenue missed. Overall, this print had some key positives. The stock remained flat at $11.70 immediately after reporting. Paramount had an encouraging quarter, but one earnings result doesn't necessarily make the stock a buy. Let's see if this is a good investment. When making that decision, it's important to consider its valuation, business qualities, as well as what has happened in the latest quarter.

'My brother pointed out rude error on my Shein top and I can't un-see it'
A woman was delighted after purchasing a new top from Shein because she 'loved the print', and was showing it off when her brother spotted something rude on her new shirt A woman hilariously shared that she'd bought a Shein top she really liked and posted a video of her new find online - only for her brother to point out a rather inappropriate detail. The discovery left her wondering whether she should send the garment back, and she issued a warning to others considering making the purchase. "What the f**king f**k," she started the video by saying, asking in the caption: " How did I not see it?" Charmain, who posts on TikTok as @chazpants, shared that she'd bought the floral print top and was delighted after she ordered it and found it fit nicely. However, it wasn't long before her bubble was burst. "I think this is something that could only happen to me," she joked. Charmain explained that as part of a day-in-the-life video she had filmed, she did a Shein haul, saying that she "loved the print" on the top she had bought until her brother pointed something out to her. "I don't often like stuff with prints on, so for me to find something that had a print on I was like f**k yeah. Anyway, this morning, I woke up and I was just looking through my comments, and I saw this from my brother," she shared. He'd left a comment that read: "Hmm, have you noticed the weird pattern on your new Shein clothing?!" She then admitted that she was left baffled by what he meant, so she had to take another look at the garment to see what he was referring to. Charmain then put both hands over her mouth in shock and blinked slowly at the camera to express how horrified she was that she hadn't noticed this pattern before others had. "How did I miss this? Look at it," she questioned, showing the top on screen - and it was a sight to behold. She said: "There's a massive f**king c**k and b***s on it," before proceeding to detail her disappointment in a sweary rant. She even said she might have to buy fabric markers to cover up the error. Others thanked Charmain for pointing out that this top had something a bit rude on it, writing: "I'm so glad I didn't press buy, it was for my holiday lol thankyou haha you're amazing". "Took me a while to notice it, but once you see it, you can't unsee it," somebody joked. A TikToker pointed out that they saw something totally different, writing: "Is anyone else seeing Squidward's face from Spongebob instead of the c**k and b***s?" Another shared their Shein fail, writing: "I bought a Xmas cardigan from Shein and when I did it up I had a Father Christmas face on each boob". Shein has been contacted for comment.
