Get used to it or go back to reddit. If you want freedom, it comes with a cost.

"Nothing is fun 8 hours a day" isn't an advice but at least it's true

For Context: I live in the United States of America.

It's so cool that you say that! Most Americans just assume they are the default and don't have to say where they are from.

Twitter is happier without me.

No: I am happier without Twitter

Mein Chef hat neulich Signal als "WhatsApp für Arme" bezeichnet... als ob letzteres was kosten würde

The "birds aren't real" community: they are the same picture

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Is that what ACAB stands for?

Disagreement is maybe best communicated by the absence of an upvote?

There is a quote "You can not not communicate" but on the internet you can. If I get no upvotes, I don't know if no one has seen it or people actively ignored it and it's a bad advice to feel disagreed on when no upvotes.

I personally feel frustrated when I get downvotes but no comments because I don't know why I'm downvoted. Some instances here in the lemmyverse (like mine) don't have downvotes enabled so I don't even see downvotes.

I think it's best to engage in a conversation if you disagree in a constructive way and downvote without comment if you feel this is beyond help.

But does that make him happy?

I always thought it's funny to see such a spelling bot on linguistics themed subs where everyone was like "fck you descriptivist" and they were downvoted into oblivion

Wir hatten am Frauentag eine Betriebsversammlung, die eine Frau sinngemäß mit den Worten eingeleitet hat: "ist ja schön, dass wir so viel gendern, lieber wäre es mir aber, wir würden wirklich was für Gleichberechtigung tun."

Das ist immer noch mehr als ich

In which part are you with OP? That UBI is a good thing or that rent isn't and landlords are leeches?

When I was young, I was poor. But after decades of hard work, I'm not young anymore.

Wait, I have seen this before. You did not steal it, did you?

Actually it's older than people think. Shakespeare used it for stuff like "Every knight grabbed their sword" and even for talking about a specific person it's not a new phenomenon to use singular they if the gender doesn't matter (so I was told in a linguistics sub over on r*ddit when I insisted it was new)

The only new thing is that people say, it's their prefered pronoun.
