  • On Reddit, I once bragged about having universal healthcare and got called a Nazi and a communist at the same time.

    This is what happens when Xbox kids that use the n-word grow up. They learn new “bad” words and throw them around out of context and contradictingly. They don’t actually know what those things are, though, so it never makes sense.

    I’ve been called a tankie here. I didn’t know what it was and looked it up, just to discover it was the literal opposite of the things I was saying. I was very confused and just put it down to frustrated self-projection. At some point they had been called that, it upset them, so now they use it to upset people too but they still don’t actually know what it is they’re saying.

    If I see someone defaulting to Russian bot or tankie, I’ve found another Xbox kid and it’s in my best interests to just move on.











  • I’m a sucker for a cheeky vanilla latte every now and then. Some times I just feel like sweet warm milk with a dash of coffee. But I’ll snob hard with, “How can they call this a coffee?” if all the other flavours overpower the coffee to being a near pointless ingredient. It’s lierally not a coffee at that point.

    I’m glad it’s a “coffee drink” because this is anything but a coffee.

    It gets to a point where someone’s coffee choice implies that they don’t actually like coffee and will try anything possible to mask the flavour.

    Edit: Okay, before anyone else goes on a tangent about their choices in beverages that contain coffee in them, please take a moment. Relax. Read what was said again and ask yourself, “Is what I’m about to say relevant to the highlighted differentiation of “coffee drink” and “coffee”? Do I actually want to waste my time sharing my personal opinions on beverages with coffee in them? Is the thatsinsane community where I’ll get the most out of such discourse?”

    If you confidently feel a reply is still the best option; by all means. Just keep consideration that I get notifications and have few fucks to give so it’d be nice to keep that in mind.

    I’m hating all the Reddit spillover commenters that take the internet way too fucking seriously. They were easily the worst part of Reddit.

    When I first seeked asylum here, people were being sarcastic in the comments and everyone knew, dark humour was being pushed, and there were no Well Actually Guys around. Now there’s a big uptick in petty “discussions”, know-it-alls, and those losers that break your comment up gaslit straw man style, to just put words in your mouth to try make you look like an asshole.

    Says the person ranting about Reddit users destroying Lemmy. Maybe you’re part of your own problem.

    That would be /u/spez, but okay, bro.

    When I first seeked asylum here, people were being sarcastic in the comments and everyone knew, dark humour was being pushed, and there were no Well Actually Guys around.

    First of all, it’s not your internet. Not everyone is as “intelligent” as you think you are and sarcasm is actually hard to detect in text.

    Second of all, not everyone appreciates dark humour because it can be very.offensive, just like using derogatory terms like “Well Actually Guy”. If you want people on Lemmy, you need to make it a safe space for all.

    Also, your account is only 5 weeks old.

    Now there’s a big uptick in petty “discussions”

    So, now you’re just anti-discourse? How is Lemmy meant to grow if comment section are empty, you bigot?

    know-it-alls

    Again, derogatory.

    and those losers that break your comment up gaslit straw man style, to just put words in your mouth to try make you look like an asshole.

    Oh, shit.
