@tumble_wood@noworkfunction@mimi10v3 but it's not clear! they're obfuscating what they're actually saying with bad idioms. eg they're not saying "I don't want to see you right now" they're saying "let's put a pin in this". they're trying to sugarcoat it in the worst way.
@noworkfunction@mimi10v3 I mean this person is delivering a potentially gutwrenching message in same breath as "put a pin in this". if you're going to be direct, be direct! I don't think it's the way to go but it's way better than couching it in corpspeak fake nice idioms.
@noworkfunction@mimi10v3 the problem is they're trying to disguise an anti-social message with the same wordage a manager uses to tell you that you need to work extra unpaid hours this week. not only does it not work but we all associate this style of speaking with things we read every day that we hate
@baddantakes reminds me of the coen brothers inventing editor Roderick Jaynes so the credits didn't have their names over and over making the movie look more amateurish
@roving_sign never heard of this person until now but this sentence on wikipedia puts a pretty low ceiling of my opinion on her. i have to filter every opinion she has with "this person was willing to give up regular hot showers". who doesn't like a hot shower?
@roving_sign me: deriving happiness from unironically putting up motivational posters where its like a picture of an animal a single word like "confidence" and some pithy saying
@MrPottswith2Ts pretty much everyone i know watched seinfeld syndicated reruns totally out of order. there are season arcs starting in season four but its kinda just happening in the background and you don't really need the context at all to get anything. its a sitcom.
