Lmao is that an actual quote? They deleted their comment, and I hope it’s because they realized their mistake.

The need for social belonging is exactly why there are gay communities. And the internet! Haha

Ahh, I didn’t get to that part of my French classes, lol

I learned that “ne” and “pas” are like a sandwich, and the verb stuff being negated is the sandwich contents, so that stuck with me. Lol

Thanks for the correction!

Me: What??? Ok sure, Coworker 2

.

Small talk with coworker 1 doesn’t work at all because they will randomly randomly act condescending to you when you make a joke or say something that doesn’t land exactly with them.

…so are you coworker 1? Lol

I’m familiar with the hierarchy, but I’m failing to see how or why it would be used to say that queer people would always be unhappy. What’s that all about?

10/10 joke

n’avoir pas (verb goes in the middle)

Is he/it? I have to wonder if this is one of those “The Beatles are overrated” kinds of opinions

I thought you were talking about college instructors until you mentioned high school… especially because you referred to “women” instead of girls…

the monster can hear your microphone on all consoles and steam

Hmm…the Switch doesn’t have a microphone, does it? Sounds like I should get it on the Switch for an advantage! Haha

Funny how it’s never “The man shouldn’t have gotten her pregnant”

I always forget what makes it the safest mode of travel.

If it’s the safest per KM, then it doesn’t matter when it’s the only way to travel.

If it’s the safest per trip, again, there often isn’t an alternative.

Is it still the safest mode of travel per time spent travelling? Because I’d imagine trains generally surpass that. And hopefully walking too in most places…

The second amendment was supposed to be about the citizens protecting themselves against a fascist government, right? (Though I don’t think the term existed back then)

Here’s the fascist government, Americans. What are you actually using your second amendment for?

Having read the article, that doesn’t seem to be the case. The undertones of the writing seem to be “There have been some attempts to deny that these are Nazi salutes (and not from the people making the gestures), but plausible deniability is rapidly running out and it definitely looks exactly like a Nazi salute”.

Oxford’s top definition for Apparent is “clearly visible or understood; obvious”

Impeachment in the US seems to be meaningless too, though

Some people say Pokemon Go is already P2W. But as long as Community Days/shinies are still as available as they are with F2P, then I’ll stick around and even give them some of my Google Play money, lol

You might’ve missed the word “not” in my previous comment, lol

EDIT: My apologies if I misread your intention – I’d entertained the idea that someone would try to goad me into an argument on the same topic, so I didn’t get invested in thinking too much about your comment.

Another commenter clued me in as to what you were probably getting at, and I think we’re in agreement, lol

Sometimes that’s just the up/downvote train. Sometimes people will just see the first couple of comments in an argument and just downvote/upvote alternatingly. Despite the idea that the votes are usually for what contributes to discussion, and not agree/disagree votes…

I’m just going to assume you’re not a racist looking for an excuse to downplay racism

I had a multi-week long argument with someone on Reddit who was convinced that racism is irrelevant and/or doesn’t exist because it’s a distraction from class warfare or something.

I argued that yes, the rich are screwing us over, but racism still exists and is bad and you shouldn’t be racist.

They made responses that were at least 3x as long as mine. They didn’t really ever say anything new, except to say that my points were wrong because class warfare. After they went on a rant in response to my comment to the effect of “it’s still not nice to pretend racism doesn’t exist”, I lost hope with this person.

I started replying to them by mentioning something they said, then followed it up by copy-pasting some of my previous comments to them. I didn’t even read their essays. I started pawning off my replies to ChatGPT, and they’d reply every time. Unless they were also using an LLM and telling it to include typos and stuff, it looked like they were still vehemently arguing with me/ChatGPT.

After a few weeks of almost daily replies, I gave a two-sentence reply where I admitted that I wasn’t even reading their replies because I thought their opinion was nonsense and the “conversation” had been going nowhere.

I didn’t get a reply to that comment.
