Exactly! When you’re a teenager it’s hard to appreciate these things. I know I definitely took it for granted but I at least respected my family enough to not start an online game around dinner time.

Disagree

COVID mortality basically dropped to a rarity with the vaccine. You can also check public data and see the population of non vaccinated against vaccinated. There is plenty of data to show the vaccines are working. Don’t trust the talking heads, check for yourself!

Live in the US. I saw the news covering it in 2019 and showing footage of people passing out in China. China was the one downplaying it to the world back then.

These days you’ll need to clear localStorage, sessionStorage, and localDb to really do this. The rise in tokens means some sites only use those.

that hinged on the past-tense of “to run” being “ron” instead of “ran,” would that even qualify as a joke?

Yes. There are jokes like this all over the place. Example: Job -> Has Job, Jobn’t -> Doesn’t have Job. This is the exact same style. You just want to be pedantic.

I’m glad you are very considerate and have never made a mistake when excited about something before. Good for you friend.

“Sometimes I get really excited when I see a friend and don’t realize I’m blocking the way.” That’s how people think. No malice. I hope this helps you see another way to read a slight inconvenience instead of Ultra Gigachad Malice Narcissist Blocker 5000.

Hey man if you want to read every interaction in the worst possible light that’s on you. I think most people aren’t some narcissistic machine invented to inflict maximum social damage to poor little 6’5" guys.

I mean isn’t that true for literally every user that doesn’t pay? I’m not sure why we are mad at Sync users when we don’t even have a strong call to action to donate to instances.

Such a weird take. Just say excuse me or I need to get through. Very easy. People aren’t mind readers and they aren’t purposely trying to make your life harder.

“Excuse me I just need to get by” has worked for me every time and also usually makes them realize they can move to one side and keep chatting.

But how will we stay outraged if people are allowed to talk?

I haven’t seen a single call to action to donate to Lemmy other than the static sidebar on desktop. Something like that would be far more helpful than complaining about previous Sync users continuing to donate to Sync. Nothing is being taken from Lemmy, Sync already had a big user base and is bringing many of them over here thanks to the app. Let’s call to action to them to donate to instances instead of complaining.

This meme implies that Sync is taking all the donations though. The people donating to Sync didn’t stop donating to Lemmy to do so

No it was for a costume party. He tweeted it and his tweet is still up. The part of him wanting it removed is made up. I don’t like the guy but this gets posted constantly online and is easily shown to be false.

Also in the beginning he wishes he would wake up and his whole family would be gone. He wakes up and thinks his wish came true. He tells “Santa” later in that he wishes they would come back.

There’s nothing wrong with being smart. It’s the smugness that is annoying and that’s what this whole thing is about.

If you aren’t one of those people than that’s great and you shouldn’t be bullied.

For me the meme is that most of these are the very tip of the philosophy and thinking iceberg. And that’s fine. What’s not fine is taking those basic concepts and trying to use them as defeaters for everything. I think this is what it’s poking fun at.

Or I could install Voyager and have a better user experience in 5 seconds. I love Firefox but the mobile experience is highly dependent on the care a site puts into their mobile site.
