@kewwwi@lemmy.world avatar

can we be the internet community that doesn’t pretend we’re a tight knit group with injokes and ‘right’ opinions?

there’s already enough of those and I hate navigating their dumb shit.

NotSpez,

Sure, that can be a new unwritten rule ;)

cheese_greater,

[mutters] Curses

XbSuper,

It’s a bit late for that. It’s already everywhere, and it’s terrible.

cheese_greater,

Tildes is super strict against that, I got banned for making a joke about wine jelly being rendered into candy

WineGums

Banned!

Also, JAIL! Belive it or not…

sock,

yeah those unwritten rules are why i hardly want to tell anyone about this site. its a bunch of comp sci nerds that finally have a platform to talk to be mildly social

and the humor is very par for course of compsci nerds. dumb, contrived, an obscure reference with a random jpeged gif in the background, etc. not funny.

cheese_greater, (edited )

I have to fight you on the not funny take. I disagree and my oeuvre demonstrates that to the contrary in my respectful submission

sock, (edited )

yo just your other 2 replies in this thread alone, im taking about you. youre the unfunny reddit compsci nerd.

“[mutters]”

cheese_greater,

I’m sorry I don’t satisfy ur standards :P

Questions like these is why this community exists though.

It’s interesting to read because I’m always quick in the car myself, I enjoy being quick to start and drive out.

Don’t care if others are different. Maybe they want to sit and watch their phone for a while. But it’s interesting to read about it.

Bahalex,

Perhaps it’s more of a “hey, parking is hard to come by in this neighborhood… I’ve been circling for a while and noticed that you got into your car and now I’m sitting here with my blinker on, blocking traffic, waiting for the spot to free up so I can park and get on with my day… what’s going on in there?”

You’re the asshole in that situation. Don’t expect that any parking place is yours until it’s empty, especially when you have no idea when the people actually parked in the space are leaving. You should never be blocking traffic waiting to park in an occupied space because you assume they’re leaving.

AquaTofana,

I understand this. At work parking is hella bad, so I routinely get to work over an hour early just for parking, and then most days I bring lunch or don’t eat because I don’t want to lose my parking during the day.

That being said, because I know parking sucks there, I’m extra quick when I do have to leave because I know the feeling of driving around looking for parking, becoming hopeless, and resigning to the quarter mile walk from the next closest available parking.

I’ve never understood the people who purposefully just sit there and stare at the person needing a parking spot in their rear view mirror waiting for them to leave. My dad does this, and I’m always just like “Aren’t you taking more time away from yourself now too just to stick it to someone else?”

bionicjoey,

I fucking hate bad-faith questions like this. OP doesn’t care about an answer, they are just ranting.

nevemsenki, in People of Lemmy that take more than 5 seconds to start your car and drive, what are you doing?

Waiting for everyone to buckle in. Even that one person in the back.

PowerGloveSoBad,

This. So often, folks feel too busy for even the easiest safety steps that keep everywait who are these people in my car it was empty a second ago

AtmaJnana, in What's your favorite compilation album?

Do soundtracks count? If so, O’ Brother Where Art Thou? And Grosse Point Blank

bionicjoey,

GPB is such an underrated movie. Banger soundtrack, great action sequences, funny jokes, Minnie Driver, Joan Cusack, Dan Ackroyd… It’s got everything!

Ibex0,

GPB was quality

I’m more of a TNG guy so I’ll be fine in a red shirt.

19: if you didn't like Star Trek before, go to Risa and count the lights till you do

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

… I count four.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

There are 4 of those lights. Or is there 5…

wheeldawg,

Oh shit he’s starting to turn evil.

I suggest you count REALLY carefully here.

echodot,

Were going to find Geordie a girlfriend if it kills us.

Your YouTube link should have been a Piped link but it’s okay.

You’re free to enjoy the lemmit.online content, but don’t interact with it or you will appear confused.

Don’t stress about upvotes/downvotes-- They’re even more made up here than usual.

Never pass up an opportunity to bitch about ads, Chrome, Reddit, capitalism, Arch users, streaming services, or your favorite Lemmy client.

Do not attempt the Picard Maneuver unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Which Picard maneuver, though?

The short jump one or the straightening uniform one?

sbv, in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?

Chrome BAD, Firefox GOOD. If you disagree, you are WRONG.

cheese_greater,

Librewolf BEST

netchami,

Absolutely

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

No pocket and comes reinstalled with UBO. So… Basically just Firefox but with one or two settings switched off and UBO.

… What’s exactly the point here?

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

If you disagree, you are WRONG.

This only applies until Chrome gets rid of the adblockers next year, if you decide to stay with Chrome I confidently think that you are wrong.

morphballganon, in What companies have made your blacklist?

Any company with an ad that makes me wait or click more than once.

niktemadur, (edited ) in What companies have made your blacklist?

The ones that I come across nearly every day in one way or another:

Twitter - manipulation, right wing bullshit
Facebook - privacy, manipulation
Reddit - manipulation, right wing bullshit
Walmart - exploitation, right wing bullshit
Nestle - exploitation
Chick Fil A - right wing/religious bullshit
Papa Johns - right wing bullshit
McDonalds - exploitation

cheese_greater, (edited ) in What is that thing called where you like randomly start picking-up/doing something that you saw someone do and now its a shared "thing" about you cuz you both do it genuinely

Something, something, mimesis/mimetic/mimes

Edit:

memetic

SgtAStrawberry,

Mimic / mimics

cheese_greater,

memetic

Is answer ;)

SgtAStrawberry,

Never heard, good that someone else had.

cheese_greater,

It was a very tricky one, as evinced by my mimetic/mimeses/mime spiel.

There must be some relationship in terms of etymology between “meme” and “mime”…

SgtAStrawberry,

Some very quick googleing say thay both come from the Greek mimos/μῖμος

en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/μῖμος

cheese_greater, (edited )

I wanna say memetic and—I can’t seem to find the corresponding term memesis, although I wonder if it just reduces down to mimesis which I discussed earlier…

The problem is: mimetic and memetic seem to be distinct to rhe extent that mimetic ≠ memetic, per se

Metal_Zealot, (edited ) in What are Lemmy's unwritten rules?
@Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

Each community, at some point in time, has to have someone with severe a case of Main Character Syndrome make a post that refers to another post where their feelings got hurt cuz their initial post didn’t get the exact kind of attention they wanted, which then results in a total shit fit in the comments.

I’ve seen it happen numerous times in my short time on Lemmy. Especially on !memes.

People need to learn how to just suck it up and move on ffs. I swear it’s the r*dditard mentality leaking in here.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Reddit has this too. Especially on subs with younger audiences… Or really old entitled audiences.
