She’s a monster until she isn’t. But don’t fret, she’ll be a monster again next week on “little traumas on the prairie”

I remember her and her daughter, terrible people and more drama in an overly dramatic show.

Here's the best way to get that reaction on Lemmy.

Windows is better than Linux. You can game easier, Install older programs easier, you most likely won't have any issues or have security issues like the Linux crowd says you will. It has amazing built in antivirus and compatibility with tons of hardware. Etc

On Reddit, it was always saying that I prefer manual transmission over automatic that made people very, very angry. I never have understood that one except to think that some people takes it as a personal insult.

You could also say that lowering taxes on the rich is the best way to improve the economy.

I know I'd give it that reaction.

Well that's just dumb though. Windows is actually good 👍. The strange point you're trying to prove is basically proving my point.

Occasionally, someone goes through my post history and downvotes every post. I'd love to know who it is just so I can thank them for the amusement.

I guess they are a signal of disapproval, but its better to be honest and say what you think then to try and get liked in every post.

It can inhibit participation. A lot of people automatically downvote anyone with a negative score and upvote anyone with a positive score because of the peer pressure or something. It’s how the brigading and triple digit downvotes often get started.

To be fair, it could have a negative impact on whether or not new users or lurkers get involved.

It's actually funny though. I said my fair share of generally downvoted stuff, but most of my replies that weren't completely overlooked end up with something between 10 and 100 likes as well as exactly 1 dislike.

Up to 80% of the plot lines in that show were just Mrs. Olson being a bitch.

For the most part, people are very nice around here especially compared to Reddit and Facebook. Every once in a while, though, because of federation you'll end up in some random thread full of angry people without even realizing it and say something completely benign, only to be brigaded in response by a whole lot of angry people who constantly sort their instance by new comment and refresh.

It's me. I look at my posts like that. I should probably post sober more often.
