⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The mask nonsense really showed this to a lot of folks it seems. Our “rugged individualism” is basically “my rights end where I say they do.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If your general assumption is “people who get offended are just deliberately misunderstanding me” then I don’t know what to tell you. That’s not sociopathic but it sure is a selfish outlook as well as one that explains your tasteless snowflake joke.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
No argument here. We’re very short sighted
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Snowflake jokes are stale af

People with PTSD should absolutely be catered to the fuck are you on about
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
No I demand an explanation NOW for why I can’t call someone something
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It matters more to them than to you that’s the whole point
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Not everyone uses “guys” like that, you’re assigning way too broad of usage to it. It’s also just not important enough to die on a hill for. Just be decent human it’s not hard. Accommodate one person who asked you because it means something to them. Why is this so hard for folks to get?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You likely have no idea why that person said to stop.

Let’s say you’re shooting off fireworks and it is scaring a neighbor. Do you tell them to get over it until they directly tell you they have PTSD from a conflict zone? Or do you just be a fucking reasonable person and stop?

We are a very ~~selfish~~ “individualistic” society. It breeds ~~entitlement and a complete inability to accept even the most minor of inconveniences~~ a culture of not having our rights trampled.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I didn’t call you an extremist and you’re being an ass with your interpretation.

I’m done man. Feel free to have the last word, I’m sure it’s very important to you.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You literally said you would just leave and not spend time with that person again over this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got my boy Crassus on speedial⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
One of the best!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I’m just going to ignore how much of a stretch that is to compare and indulge it anyway.

You know what you do when someone says something stupid like that? You don’t engage it at a table full of people unless you all know each other pretty well and you think the relationship can handle it unless you’re just kind of a rude person who doesn’t mind publicly shaming people when there is nothing at stake, which is a little weird.

Most people like that get ignored when in-person and it’s the best way to go about it. Engaging them is what they want. They want to defend their position, they want to feel persecuted, and they want to share whatever XxpatriotxX shared on YouTube the night before.

Then you’re clearly not as hardline as you’re pretending to be
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Man if all it takes is a pretty basic language disagreement with somebody for you to not want to associate with them, you must not have a lot of friends
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

claims they understand gendered language

describes someone as “bitchy”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
So is remembering somebody’s name but you somehow manage to do that
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Or you could’ve simply gone “cool no worries didn’t mean anything by it” and move on not using the word instead of demanding they let you continue.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Why? Because it’s so difficult for you to respect someone’s request that likely means way more to them than to you?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets corrected⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If someone asks you to stop something simple and of no consequence to you just do it out of respect. Why does everyone feel entitled to a concrete argument and being convinced before just respecting folks? It’s ridiculous.

My parents hate curse words. I curse a fuck ton. When I’m at their house, I don’t curse (well…as much). I don’t demand a sufficiently acceptable reason for not doing it anymore than I don’t need someone explain to me why they want me to take my shoes off in their home. Just don’t be an ass and do it.

Someone called someone “retarded” at my house in front of my kids. I just said “don’t use that word please” and that was the end of it. Didn’t talk about my kids or ableism or anything, I just said “stop please,” they just said “cool sorry” and moved on. This is just how it should be most of the time.

I hate to admit he was good in Bladerunner 2049 but that’s literally the only good performance he’s had in 15 years.

Also he runs a cult.

Where is this magical land you live that has such an enlightened and engaged electorate?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skyrim teaches a Lemmy user about fascist propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You can’t have civil discourse when the president of the US and his fanatics wants to erase LGBT people and glass regions of the world he is bigoted towards.

We did civil discourse 2008-2016. We made great strides. Then look what happened.

A strange game. The only moral move is not to choose.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skyrim teaches a Lemmy user about fascist propaganda⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The far left is generally more correct about social issues than the far right. It’s not always 2 sides of the same coin. Sometimes someone is right and someone is wrong and it’s not always 50-50.
