People like this love when their elitist or exclusionary opinions are countered by the masses. Just makes them feel even better. Source, I was one of them in my younger days.

Reas this again like someone else wrote it. It’s condescending and patronizing. You’re not better than these people you judge.

Repost from like an hour or two ago…but why?

Tired?

Or were all just enjoying it and you’re the one trying to be a party pooper

Goths mocking emos always made me laugh. Which is itself a third layer of comedy because I was supposedly an old school punk but really just another kid with a funny 'do (green mohawk…which I still hold as the most righteous hairstyle known to man, however)

Doesn’t matter what academics think or teach when this is what happens in the real world

I was 21 in 2008, and I’d been a fan of Ctrl Alt Del since near it’s beginning. I was a huge web comic fan in general, and I got intensely emotionally invested in them, even the silly ones.

This strip hit me exactly as he intended it to. It resonated with me I guess because of my brother and sister in law going through a miscarriage shortly before. Either way, it had a powerful impact on me and I didn’t see this “tonal shift” as a problem. That’s kinda dumb if you ask me, lots and lots of comedies have serious moments.

Anyway, I didn’t know this meme until a few years ago and it always makes me sad. It’s dumb, I know.

I’m super sensitive to negativity, which is why I was always a lurker in reddit, I always got shat on whenever I shared anything, to the point that I’d just delete my account and hide from the internet for a while.

I don’t read it any differently with or without just. I’m not sure what you mean by apologetic or why that would be a bad thing.

People write work emails differently, but I write more like the “don’t” list than the “boss” list in most situations. I also rarely put much thought into it unless it’s an extremely delicate situation. The only problem I have with this post is it’s presumption that your way is the boss way and the other way is somehow inferior.

While I personally don’t, the difference between this and that is that most people here, together as a community, have decided, again together, that they don’t want to federate with Meta apps because of a long history of privacy and other abuses.

That’s not the same thing as another billionaire pissed off because they are doing exactly what capitalism is “supposed to do”

Do better or die is the whole philosophy no?

Well the flip coin is the same. New users coming to a place and using language they feel is natural, and then judging them for not using your own specific terminology is also “A Choice” It’s not up to anyone what other people call things.

Do people think socialists or communists are bothered by this term tankie? It’s like called a white person cracker. It’s not really the effect youre hoping for, I promise.
