@sadreturns@bbscorpioxo I was regularly published on the front page in my youth (late 00s, early 10s), then after years of inactivity, my account was banned when the new wave of woke RYMers complained about my reviews being problematic. I was a teenage edgelord and it was considered normal at the time!
@LadiesOfReddit Not having the cultural capital of a coastal elite city leads to the adoption of Reddit and the internet as the compass for what’s good/funny?
It’s just such insanely low-hanging fruit posting. Like the second it happened I started spitballing every type of post I would expect to see over the course of the day (“DEI strikes again”, “she only got the job because she’s a woman and she predictably crashed because she’s not cool calm and collected like a man”, etc.), and it was as predictable as you would imagine.
Extrapolating talking points that confirm one’s priors from rare anecdotal data is a chud’s dream. Also see, that Mongolian girl getting violent on campus and then a million posts dropping about “being torn from her ancestral homeland, was never supposed to be in this environment”. But like it’s just some mentally ill Asian-American girl, and the fact that it’s the first time you’ve ever seen a Mongolian-American go viral goes to show that the vast majority are normal and well-adjusted?
@spiralnebulae It’s just so many words, having to do this spiel to every table would make me suicidal. As a server I find the fewer words I say the better. “Any questions on the menu?” does the trick.
@frusinate1888 It’s a disease that’s totally out of your control but also where it’s basically 100% up to you whether you wanna keep suffering from it or not
