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.
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.
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?”
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
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.
