@3_gio2@AlexAlarga the richest man in the world is lying about being good at a video game. if that's not funny to you then take your own advice and don't engage with the tweet
@fartwich yeah they clearly see it as a tool to push their worldview, rather than their worldview being informed by it, and it's always communicated in such a colossally heightened way that it puts people off instantly
@fartwich it must be miserable to be one of these people who are determined to still be living in 2020. feels like there's a big subset of leftists online who have a genuinely pathological attachment to the sense of urgency and danger that was happening back then
like there's a legitimate critique to make from the left, but it's no different to any other type of delivery driver or any other type of low paid, exploitative work. people in amazon warehouses or at maccas have it far worse, but nobody cares about them
the whole "getting mad at people for using ubereats" would be a lot more tolerable if people admitted that it's purely out of personal animus rather than from a genuine leftist position
@sandeep__journo@beastieboy07 yes, if the ball obviously deviates then the batsman would be out. this is not a new rule but it is surprising that it is a new rule to you
there's a weird posture that big accounts take where they're able to criticize basically anyone and anything, but people responding to that criticism is unreasonable and unfair
like... if you don't want people to react strongly, don't criticize their religious beliefs! that's a thing people care a lot about! why would you personally be exempt from that?
it feels like in the 2010's you were cool if you were unfazed by anything and in the 2020's it is a race to be as pathetically sensitive to as many things as possible
this person is incapable of maintaining positive relations with a single neighbour but somehow thinks that they would be able to live in a community of random people
