As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin “fixin” are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it’s seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem “important” is banana sandwiches to me.

They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don’t enjoy.

Don’t you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy’s personal taste?

Love that the blood is represented.

Period poops finally getting their horrible, horrible time to shine.

And that thing where you’re reading something, and you know you read the words, but none of them “stick” and now you have to re-read the whole thing to figure out where you got lost.

Joke’s on you! I’m too lazy to fake anything!

I’m even too lazy to

I gotta tell ya, the only fascists I’ve met (who share their opinion in front of me) are online. All the ones I meet in day-to-day life are smart enough to keep their opinions to themselves.

To be fair covid sucks. I’m still exhausted all the time.

It’s so weird. It plays more like they’re in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!

Actually if you watch it with that in mind it’s weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.

…now off to call my boyfriend “bro” and see what happens.

E: I said, “I’m gonna take a nap, bro,” and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it’s not his thing!

“Some reason”

The reason being that anyone who has siblings and watched that commercial thought they acted like lovers, not siblings.

Now we called them demotivationals because they were made in reaction to motivationals, which were all the rage in Shelbyville. And one demotivational was worth ten motivationals. ‘Gimme one for the ten,’ you’d say, and you would post your motivationals so the wizards of memes could photoshop them, or you might say “shop.” Which was the style at the time.

You could always tell a shop from some of the pixels, or from seeing quite a few shops in your time. Whichever was easier.

(I put way more effort into this than it called for.)

To add to this;

The first time I played SDV was right after the death of a family member. It provided me with an insane amount of comfort.

Every time I find myself loading it up I look at my life and realize I need the peace. It’s an insanely positive influence in my life.

I’m white. I have blue eyes. And when I was young, my hair was red. I was working retail, and this old lady said “Merry Christmas.”

Me: “Happy Holidays!”

Her: “It’s Merry Christmas. I know your boss doesn’t like it, but you should say it to me. So Merry Christmas.”

Me: “Are you Christian?”

Her: “Yes.”

Me: “Well, I’m not. So Happy Holidays.”

She got so stunned, like I’d slapped her. I was quite ready to get called in for being some kind of way with a customer but I guess she was too afraid of dealing with a heathen. Still, if you’ve ever worked retail, you’d know why this felt like a victory.

I took care of a lady with kidney failure for a while and when she skipped dialysis, lemme fuckin tell ya, she knew.

The toxic shit the kidney works on really feels toxic once it stops!

I promise that I’m not but I appreciate it anyway. ❤️

For others, this comment is “Hai,” or “yes” in Japanese.

I get being frustrated that you were silenced and didn’t get a reason but people, by and large, don’t care about your personal beefs, and expectations react badly to complaints of not getting ups. That’s a knee-jerk that people have.

In future, don’t complain about votes first. Make the meme about it seeming broken or something. The majority of people who complain about votes (and find out they were banned or whatever) look like salty crybabies because most of them are.

This is a learning opportunity for being on the internet so use it that way. And then ask about this ban and clarification of rules there.

Boundaries are good and healthy.

“Stay mad”
“Lives rent free”
“no u”

I miss when trolling was a art.

I appreciate your answer! I would like to offer a counterpoint; at what point does a person become responsible for their own ignorance? And how often is ignorance, whether intentional or otherwise, the direct cause of malice, or malicious behavior?

In the slim chance a person here sees what they said, and does not know that Amazon is “evil,” merely saying not to work with an evil corporation is not educational, and therefore serves no purpose.

Since there was no effort to education, we can assume within a reasonable amount of doubt that they are speaking to those who are already educated. And if that’s the case, then all they offer to the conversation is, at it’s heart, self-satisfaction. Anyone aware that Amazon is evil who chooses to continue to use their services has either come to the conclusion that they have no choice, or simply doesn’t care.

They add nothing to the conversation, and in fact, might reduce engagement with the premise (use this affiliate link to reduce the harm of doing business with Amazon).

I agree with your statement, that we should treat all actions with reasonable doubt. Offer that before assuming malicious intent. Which is absolutely true! I don’t believe the commenter intentionally thought, “I’m going to shut down this conversation while also virtue signalling.” But the effect is the same for the purpose of conversation. It adds nothing of value and may even discourage discourse. It is equally as useless, to me, as pretending to champion a cause from a screen, patting themself on the back for their wise ways, and doing nothing. It provides the illusion of helping, while adding nothing. And that’s a dangerous thing.

I would correct my statement in the presence of anything at all to “add” to the discourse. Explaining why using Amazon would be unwise if it can be avoided. They did not make that effort. I stand by my previous comment. But I want to thank you for taking the time to engage me, and I really hope you continue to try showing other people the value of giving people the benefit of the doubt! It’s so important, and does so much kindness in society.

Oh it would.

I feel better being more fit because a lot of my interests (and my job) are very physical, and being as large as I am now makes doing the things I enjoy doing more difficult.

Not everyone has those interests or that type of work, and that’s okay, too. We all have value.
