Something dumb like, idk, repeating racist talking points? Judging people from an entire area as stupid? Looking down on other people’s beliefs? Picking a flight with someone over mountai esthetics? Accusing someone of using a slur when it’s a word you just learned and didn’t bother to research? Assuming someone’s race and making ad hominem fallacies? Saying class war doesn’t exist? Ignoring history?
It’ll be an honor to compare my meager works with such an expert, I look forward to your tutelage.

Keeping to yourself? Might be the best advice you gave out that you should take, especially if you’re going to be judging people like how you do.

Sorry, I don’t take advice from people who paint with brushes that broad, too many assumptions get mixed in.
I genuinely hope that one day you’ll have enough experiences that you realize how your actions have been wrong and enough strength to change course.

You’re the idiot who read only the first line of a Wikipedia article and assumed something was a slur.
You’re the one who thinks people from specific regions of the US are stupid because you fell for Confederate era propaganda.
You’re the one who thinks religious people are stupid.
You’re the one making negative assumptions on groups of people over things like race, heritage, religion, and location.
You don’t get to say “nope” to being a bigot when you’re basically textbook.

You know newspapers, letters, the radio, and movies existed back then, right? The press was around?
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 1 day ago:
Whatever dude, make what assumptions or ad homonyms you want, you’re still a bigot.

Weird you’re telling someone that something is a slur when you don’t even know our culture or are even from here.
Get bent ya KKK brainwashed bigot, you’re the one thinking people from Appalachia are all ignorant religious idiots.
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 3 days ago:
I’m saying that you assuming people from Appalachia are superstitious and backwards is part of a racist propaganda campaign that you fell for.
No point in arguing with fools I guess, enjoy your high horse.
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 3 days ago:
No, it’s just that you’re uneducated.
The trope of the religious, ignorant hillbilly is not only based off of classism, but also racism. There was a lot of mixing of races and cultures in Appalachia, because a lot of people were poor and poor isolated people tend to work together, so a lot of those “ignorant and inpure” hill folk started, horror upon horror, interbreeding instead of keeping the races pure. That’s where you get groups like the Melungeon.
Of course, certain types of people, usually with white hoods in their closet, didn’t like that, (and the fact these folks tended to unionize and fight back) so they spent a good amount of time spreading a lot of bad rumors about dangerous, ignorant, backwards religious people living in Appalachia.
So you, a judgemental and ignorant person on the Internet, fell for a long standing KKK propaganda talking point.

Ah, the traditionally (and mildly classist and racist) assumption that people out west are somehow mentally superior and more educated, while the people in Appalachia are poor dumb hicks.
Funny how culture shapes our perspectives, innit

I’m just saying there’s a different vibe to the fears people have of the region, and by saying the Rocky mountains don’t have the same vibe you kinda proved my point.
- Comment on Those moutains are so quaint 5 days ago:
There’s a difference between scary and creepy.
Your mountains? That’s scary. It’s frightening in the moment, but at the end of the day, ok, you made it down the mountain.
These mountains? They’re creepy. When you come down the mountain, something comes down with you.

Those mountains are literally older than bones

See that? That’s why people don’t like Linux users.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 6 days ago:
Five minutes on the Linux memes instance where there’s posts about people breaking their os and needing to fix it with a ton of jargon kind of paints a different picture for everyone else.

Pathetic

It’s the impression I’ve gotten from people who use Linux, so if that’s not the case then I feel that’s on your community for misrepresenting how the OS works.

Nope, but also, it can be if that’s the mood you’re in.
For me it feels more like that part of the roller coaster when you just start to drop and you’re in that free fall state, but for about 12 hours or so. It’s a blast, lots of neat swirly effects on the eyes, Lord of positive emotions. Just set aside the next day to recoup a little.

Sorry you can’t keep up then, sounds like a social skill issue

I was saying it is hypocritical to look down upon other people’s language, as a pedant, when you clearly can’t differentiate between a narrator saying to react with a gif and the fictional robber. And since you clearly can’t follow the instructions of the prompt by responding with a gif, the hypocrisy turns to hilarious irony.
If you were wiser, you simply would have not responded if you didn’t want to respond with a gif, but your sense of self importance shows your hubris.
Also you’re a filthy casual language enjoyer if you look down on dialects within a language and probably have some internalized racism to with through if you think a more “urban” mode of speaking implies a lack of intelligence.

Here’s an unpopular opinion for people to upvote because we’re supposed to upvote the opinion we think is unpopular:
Linux sucks more than the users want to admit and it’s fans are the worst.
If you have to learn to program stuff to fix something in your OS, then it’s not a good OS. This isn’t the case for most modern Linux, but there’s many examples of just having to learn all sorts of crap just to make it functional. With the other two mainstream OS they are plug and play. Lately they have done shitty choices with AI and everything so that’s not as much of the case, but at least there you don’t have to go in and fix the code to make something functional.
If Linux was that great, you wouldn’t have to do any of that. I find it’s a weird parallel to owning a crown vic, where you have to pile sandbags in the back so it’ll drive in literally any snow, and then when you talk about it people say it’s a skill issue because they are hardcore fans of a dumb cop car. If you have to do something special to make something functional, that’s not a feature, that’s a bug.
And then, ye gods, the Linux fans. I know of someone who was berated for almost an hour over not using Linux. The person getting yelled at was like, 7. They are the smug Internet atheists of the tech world. They won’t shut up about Linux. Their solution to anyone looking up how to fix something with their computer is to uninstall everything and switch to Linux, even if it’s unrelated. If someone has a criticism for Linux they have a meltdown. They feel smug and superior in their choice of OS, euphoric and enlightened with their own intelligence.
That being said I’m probably going to switch to Linux anyway. Because fuck the changes windows made.
