Is no one here going to tell me why this is fake and gay? WTF do I come to the greentext community for? Just serious comments about people’s own experiences? Fucking shameful

My rule to live by: never engage with comments online. I’ll post a comment, but >99% of the time there is no reason to reply. I’ve said what I wanted. There’s hardly anything to gain from trying to change anyone else’s mind or elaborating further. Someone has to make it abundantly clear that they are responding in good faith to warrant a response. My life has been much better since I started doing this and I would strongly recommend everyone try it out.

It has been years now that Air BnB has been so much worse than going through establidhed hotel/holiday rental booking methods. I’m surprised people still use it (do they?).

Educate me please, is this a real thing? Do people delay responses to act cool? In my day, extended chat conversations were a thing and kinda required immediate responses. Does nobody do that anymore?

Thanks for the heads up. How hilariously unoriginal and surprising to get so upset by my comment. I wish him and his dogs a whole load of child-free happiness.

I’ve come looking for the most downvoted comment. They asked for something unpopular. That’s exactly what you posted. I don’t agree with you. But I think this really is an example of how happy society is to accept the existence of “thought crimes”. Have an upvote. Also reconsider your position on car elitism dude.

Are you ready for a super unpopular opinion? No holds barred? You asked for it:
Dogs suck. I don’t like them. Glad if you do, please enjoy. But they slobber, shed, smell and are generally mostly a nuisence. They can be fun for brief periods, but they’re way more work and hassle than they’re worth. My brother is thinking of getting a big dog and I hope he doesn’t because it would make me reluctant to spend a weekend at his place. I can’t believe the number of people who seriously admit to loving their dogs more than their kids. I can’t believe people consider themselves their pet’s “parent”. I can’t believe how forcefully the online community backlashes to the idea of kids or judgemental of “ill-mannered” and neurodiverse kids, yet will happily say “it is never a dog’s” fault, no matter how “bad” the dog is.
Cats can sometimes be ok, if they’re not noisy and don’t shed too much. But generally having animals in the house isn’t great at all.
Thank you for your attention. Future Lemmings will look back at my comment history from unrelated threads and judge me for this, even though I’ve posted in the context of the current thread.
- Comment on Is Anon the asshole? 1 week ago:
The whole idea of “surprises” is complete bullshit. Social media has really over romanticised this to an extreme. When my wife gets a present, it costs quite a lot. I’m not going to take a chance of judging her taste, pick a brand I know nothing about and try to guess what she would like. We’ve got an agreement that we pick our own presents and make our plans together. No surprises bullshit. Might be boring by social media standards, but it’s the best I can do.

My employer is forcing me to use it for documentation. I’m using it. I refuse to go through it line by line and correct the shit it outputs. I take out what’s inaccurate. But the output is a wall of text. Poor quality, poorly worded, sounds robotic, constant repetition of the same point. It’s not inaccurate but it is poor quality and the next person reading it is going to spend twice the time going through it. Forcing this AI on us is what my employer wants to spend money on, so I’m not going to spend loads of my time improving the output. I just submit. Employer doesn’t care.
- Comment on Delicious 1 week ago:
I use the example in the meme a lot. As adults we’re in a post-scarcity mindset. If you tell a kid you can eat chocolate ice cream for 3 meals a day and don’t do it because you don’t want to (because you know you shouldn’t), it would blow their minds. You’re growing up when you get access to things and stop thinking “if you can” and start thinking “if you should”.

I know someone who said he has no idea what his speed was. When the cop was pressing harder and harder to get him to accept he asked “do you have a calibrated speed gun in your car”. The cop admitted he didn’t and the guy said “this conversation is over then”, and the cop let him drive off.

unless they’re okay to just exchange memes every day
Dude… Be my friend!! In fact, if it’s going to be a daily stream of quality memes then that’s more marriage material for me, let’s go!
- Comment on How do you make friends online? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve only managed to make it work a handful of times.
There needs to be a connection to something IRL from the online community. Maybe you like the same music, hobby or even playing games (that might be online but it is a “doing” action in person).
Communities like Lemmy/Reddit are particularly bad for this since they’re predicated on anonymous sharing and not really keeping you in touch with a group of repeat contacts.
You must have enough free time to end up online and shoot the shit in a direct conversation. Maybe an online chat or voice chat or Discord or something. You can’t really make friends easily with asynchronous contact.
I saw a comment about friendship long ago and I have never been able to find it again. It said something like: to be friends you must share at least two things out of this list: stage in life, physical proximity, common interest, shared predicament (e.g. job)… There were a couple of other factors I can’t remember, but the more I think about it this seems to hold true.
Eventually the connection you make needs to be bigger than how you meet. If you meet while playing DotA, and then you stop playing DotA, is there still any glue that holds you together that would push you to keeping connected through a different medium?
I’ve tried to make efforts to make friends a few times online. People on Lemmy even express interest in a social chat group and I made one. No one ever joined. Well, one person did but lost interest in a couple of days. Good luck in your endevours. Share tips if you succeed.

Knowing how the “hardware” works. Having a deep shared understanding of the societal expectations on each others gender. Able to share clothes… I do wonder what it would be like to be gay.

Reminds me of the time my wife asked me “why a computer monitor would cost so much (£500)”. This was straight after she had shown me a picture of a handbag she liked that cost £6000.
- Comment on Scope 2 weeks ago:
Depends on how harmful their activism and projects are. Frankly there are people with all sorts of opinions. Just being religious and having a different opinion doesn’t make me want to boycott or cancel anybody. Most people in my family have vastly different opinions to mine but I still love them. Depends on the harm being caused. Doesn’t mean principles are being compromised.
