Why ARE WE randomly capitalizing CERTAIN WORDS for no APPARENT reason?
YOU’RE absolutely correct, ENJOY.
BECAUSE if we leave too much SPACE between capitalized KEYWORDS they blend TOGETHER, we get BORED and stop reading the SENTENCE
Why does this read like a Trump campaign email/text
I really want to know who entered my info into their system so I can bludgeon them with a rusty chain, there is no opting out lol
I don’t know your cysec practices so I can’t address the second paragraph, but to answer the first question - this is probably the reason
It’s too bad it’s UGLY because you’re RIGHT this was much easier to READ
MY LIFE OUT OF EVEN 1+1 YOU’RE ENJOY!
They even capitalised the NUMBERS
Holy SHIT
It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied
You put the em-PHA-sis n the wrong syl-A-byl.
YeAh. We ShOuLd CaPiTaLiZe EvErY oThEr LeTtEr InStEaD.
YOU’RE absolutely correct, ENJOY.
Typography hell
It’s definitely the next level of bionic reading.
Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.
I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).
That’s when it’s time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.
Thats our national issue, democrats care far less about the fascist vomit of the right than they do being polite, “understanding,” and “reaching across the aisle.”
J6ers tried to overtake the govt, hang em for treason. If their backers violently rise up, take em out too. Problem solved. Instead, dems make excuses for Republicans every day, say they can’t do anything about anything, then push a bunch of policies to further snuff out the left instead.
Democratic politicians feel this way because they are mostly friends with their colleagues across the aisle. They all eat at the same luncheons together, hang out at the same establishments in DC, attend the same fundraisers and lobbying events.
I think the voters tend to have a different point of view from those in DC. Consider that even Republican lawmakers were running for their life on Jan6. Dem voters are growing fatigued with the constant gaslighting from the establishment politicians, and hopefully soon might provide cause for their “elected representatives” to flee as well. At this point we’ve been left with painfully few alternatives.
Lastly just want to say I do agree with full treason charges for anyone involved with Jan6. Obstruction was a laughable wrist slap, this is far too serious for such measures. The rioters kind of had the right idea but for literally all of the wrong reasons. It’s tea party republicans all over again (which was funded by Koch bros of course). Instead of addressing this in a serious manner, Dems considered doing nothing at all for 2 years before they finally started bringing the wrong charges. Pathetic.
They reach across the aisle because they basically never have control of Congress. Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything. When they don’t have all 3, they have to reach across the aisle to pass anything. So guess how long they’ve had all 3? They’ve had it for 4 years of the last 24 years.
And if they didn’t reach across, guess what happens. The GOP shuts down the government like they did to Obama.
So what can you do move things left? Give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories in all 3 houses.
Rewarding them for moving further right hasn’t worked for decades, but surely it will this time!
There’s a reason they cant pull the votes to get all 3, turns out the people voting for Republicans aren’t going to switch parties cause dems chase after them year after year abandoning anyone left of mid right establishment dems.
Everytime the Dems lose, they go to the center to find votes. And they find them! That’s how Bill Clinton won, he went to the center (some say right, whatever). Gore went a little left and then lost. So Obama learned to not run left and instead ran on broad “hope”. His reward for passing the ACA was losing Congress for his last 6 years. Thanks voters. Clinton went a little left on climate change, supposedly the important issue for the left, and lost. So Biden learned to not run left, and he won!
Every time the Dems go left they lose. So they go to the center to find voters and they find them. And you wonder why they go to the center?
Every time the Dems go left they lose
I’m sure it has nothing to do with immediately abandoning those talking points once they’re elected. A single Republican gripes and “well there’s nothing we can do we’re just doing their thing now. Sucks to suck 🤷♂️”
Of course, as illustrated here they’re happy to blame the left though even though their entire thing is “fuck the left.” whether its outright like it is right now, or the passive “WE’LL TOTALLY DO LEFT STUFF GUYS JUST VOTE FOR US…whoops sorry someone said no so we’re conservatives now”
How do you know? Its not like we are living in this situation right now
You know what, you’re absolutely correct. Enjoy!
Hey
The correct response in that situation is a warm fist to the face, not a debate
In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.
Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they’re quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.
What happens when the stupid person is in charge of hiring?
They hired you, didn’t they?
Then they hire someone more stupid so they can appear to be smart. Which makes it a smart move, which means they’re smart.
Unless they’re your manager. Then they stay forever or get promoted.
True, but I don’t think Keanu here is giving career advancement advice
Only the stupidity that affects your work directly.
More things are a boomerang than you think.
Australian mythbusters: let’s check this out.
Jokes aside, I think you are right.
Pff, past jobs I’ve been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).
Right, so there’s very few middle management or C Suite jobs, got it.
You only need to have evidence of how it wasn’t ur fault, easy as that.
That’s probably not a bad approach in general, but sometimes shit matters.
Well, he is an actor…
Now you have an engineer do that. Boeing?
Engineer: “If speed == slow, do nose down”
QA engineer: “But what if the not redundant sensor if faulty?”
Engineer: “Good is good enough, I have more to do and deadlines to catch”
QA engineer: “You’re absolutely correct, ENJOY!”
Your missing the part in the middle where you spend 6 months telling them in no uncertain terms that the thing they are asking is stupid and will not work properly/safely.
Various back and forth emails, a completely “justified” performance review program because of your “falling standards” and several meetings with various managers at different levels of “importance”.
Also the “You’re absolutely correct, ENJOY” is written at the bottom of your resignation letter or told to them directly in your “redundancy” exit interview.
Sometimes I just agree with people so they can stop talking.

True
This may explain why everyone likes him
But 1+1 is 5. I’m sick and tried of people pretending 1+1=1. The sum is always bigger than each of their addends. How do people not get that
Are you Terrance Howard?
it’s clearly 3, stop spreading misinformation
Let’s just agree that it’s an odd number
… For sufficiently large values of 1.
Many such cases.
I have died on dumber hills than arguing against 1 + 1 = 5.

A couple of classics:
- Limmy’s Show: Whats heavier a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers
- Bodybuilding forum: Full Body Workout Every Other Day?
That full body workout took me days to read the last time. I felt like I was watching an epic soap opera and was trying to track all the characters until I realized that they all just needed to hug and communicate better
Jon bois made a great “documentary” about it: https://youtu.be/eECjjLNAOd4?si=6e4WHk9qCKp5oq0z
It was going so well until they started about the day count, and I already knew it was over. I hope they’re doing okay now.
What’s the tldr?
Oh gosh, I’m not sure I could even sift my way through that much toxic masculinity and confidently-incorrect content to even derive a coherent tldr. I guess that everyone is wrong and this 16-year-old post now only serves as a mile marker on the unfortunate decline of online courtesy?
You’re better off just watching the video linked by @fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net
They can’t reach agreement on how many days there are in a week, and everybody is calling everybody else fucking retards while doing it.
oh my god thanks for linking that, the full body workout thread is truly painful!

Are arguments really that bad? I think this is a rather cynical point of view. I don’t want to reach this stage.
Friendly debates can be a healthy thing. Angry, heated, bitter arguments? Yeah, I’d argue they aren’t too great for your mental health.
That’s true, but if you’re letting it get to angry heated bitter arguments, that’s at least partly your fault. With an open mind and a friendly attitude you can mostly avoid those.
When the usual response to lets say… climate change, is nothing more than shouting how u r a commie (which yes, i am one), spreading goverment lies, and how the vaccines r gonna give their child autism…
I just don’t waste my energy in something so futile, its their religion. And a confrontation about BELIEFS (at least for them) is gonna end up no where.
So yeah, its just understanding how sometimes its better to only see them with disgust and walk away.
wow that’s bleak. Very few people around me share my political beliefs, but they certainly don’t disgust me. One of my colleagues beliefs every conspiracy in the book, she’s at the total other end of the spectrum when it comes to most arguments, but I’ve also noticed that she is the sweetest nurse I know, treating patients with empathy and compassion. Rather than coming to the point where you avoid arguments, I think people should develop the ability to have differences of opinion without being revolted by the other. An opinion doesn’t define who or what someone is in the slightest.
Maybe u r right, im gonna try to be friends next time i see a white supremacist, its not like that kind of ideologies can and already have taken lives.
Edit to add pizzagate since theres dead pleople thx to that stupidity, and antivaxxers in general since not only they kill themselfs, but also anyone around them, especially their kids, etc, etc, etc. Even those Th3 EaRtH 1S fiAt DuD3 have been killing themselfs.

He’d get along well with Terrance Howard.
I’ve always been like this. Sadly my wife finds controversy at every turn and I get dragged in.
Oops! All Doublespeak
This is O’Brien type stuff
I really like this and will embrace it going forward. I have nothing to gain by engaging with nonsense.
