Turns out, people actually like snark and most attempts to quell it have been vastly more about appearing “advertisers friendly” than actually appeasing any user bases.

“Mariah is coming” memes will always be 100x more annoying than the actual song itself

It’s not even the best sauce at Arby’s, which is clearly the Red Ranch.

That’s literally where I said “nah fuck this” and scrolled down to the comments, lol

Pfft. Making things hotter is easy. The fact that we can regularly make things colder and hold them at that colder temperature is what’s actually impressive in thermodynamics

Bro obviously they’re lauding physical mechanical buttons, not condemning useful features. Every single thing you listed can be controlled with manual tactile buttons. The issue that people have is with needless touchscreens and unnecessary digital interfaces.

So basically it’s just the existing game as is, but with “credit” to spend on disgusting paid mods. Revolting.
- Comment on But why 1 week ago:
Ummm was your childhood stunted or something? 12yos absolutely can be capable of complex emotional intelligence and reasoning. Hell, for most of humanity “childhood” wasn’t even a concept and an adult was anyone over 13.
And don’t get me wrong, that we can gift our young the idea of “childhood” is simply one of the greatest achievements of the modern world, so I’m not out here trying to say kids should be considered adults again, but I think you are vastly underestimating the capability of children. Especially children who are trauma survivors and haven’t had the benefit of the slow progress of childhood gifted to them.

Image doesn’t show for me.
And I’m well aware of the difference, I’m saying that you are perceiving how people have been using the term wrong. People say meme when talking about image macros the same way people say fruit when talking about apples; it applies because the thing being discussed is an example of the field but it is not the whole of the field.
It is okay to be wrong. People will respect you more if you simply say “wow, I guess I didn’t realize that.”

What a stupid take; I don’t know who coined the term “coffee,” does that mean I don’t know what coffee is?
And yeah sorry to inform you dude, but you are the only one incorrectly thinking that meme means “funny image.”
What you’re describing is an image macro, a specific type of meme.
And honestly taking it further, it is the templates used themselves that are mematic, not the individual images themselves, if we wanna get real pedantic about it.
Meme does not, and has never, been “funny images that follow a template” any more than “music” is “down tuned guitar riffs over blast beats.” That is just a singular example of the greater form.

My guy, that is how everyone else uses the word.
Again, what definition are you using, because the rest of us are entirely in the dark about what you mean
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 1 week ago:
Yes, and therein lies the humor, the juxtaposition of opining in casual tone what feels implied by the speaker to be mundane and relatable but which is in fact extremely niche and specifically un-relatable.
- Comment on Woman 1 week ago:
Other than the dude who literally coined the term?
As in like, the definition of a meme? What the hell definition are you using?

Why are we starting this scenario with the arbitrary restriction of 3? Yes, if you give people any number of items and tell them there is a finite number of categories, they were will find a way to divide those items into three. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t come up with a more compelling argument for their choices when told to divide into 4 groups.
At no point have our options ever only been “fruit or vegetable,” but yeah I guess if you tell people those are their only choices of course they’ll adhere. But like… I’ve never known anyone who though those were the only choices?

I’m sorry, who exactly is out here calling mushrooms vegetables??

I love the attempt to draw people to the classic shock sites of old, but I simply have to complain about this sign:
Lemons are sour, not bitter. This should read “politics left you sour?” instead.

If you listen to any of them and have thoughts you want to express, feel free to let me know! I basically always love any excuse to talk about or listen to people talking about music I like.

Dunno if I go actively searching for difficult music, so I may not have the best answer for that specifically, but here are 5 albums I consider hidden gems or underappreciated:
Horse Bitch - RIP Pistachio
Tattle Tale - Sew True
Gaytheist - The Mustache Stays
Codefendants - This Is Crime Wave
Irist - Gloria (actually an EP, if you’ll allow it).
These probably won’t take you 5+ listens to appreciate, but I do think they’re smaller releases worthy of greater attention. Hopefully that’s close enough for you. ✌️
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 3 weeks ago:
Understandable, except you forget that you and I are in fact different people with it sounds like radically different listening habits. Cheers ✌️

I have no kids, no pets, and a job where I can listen to music the entirety of my shifts while working. I have music on in some capacity probably an average of 12 hours a day. 4 albums a week, when listening to them each 6 six times, is a fraction of my listening.
Music listening is my primary “hobby” and interest.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 3 weeks ago:
I truly wonder where in my post I implied that I am drawing significant conclusions without giving something a good few listens. Again, I think you are making assumptions of my listening habits based on severly limited information presented to you.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 3 weeks ago:
This is making some significant assumptions, don’t you think? That I sample the buffet does not mean that I don’t also cherish and return to familiar recipes.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 3 weeks ago:
The game is fun, but it’s now a solo game where you occasionally team up non-socially with strangers to knock out goals, rather than being the massively social game it once was. Unfortunately I think those days are over forever.
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 3 weeks ago:
…are people really paying for a music subscription service to listen to the same music on repeat? I pay a service because I listen to like at least 4 new albums every week, minimum.
