But it’s free! You love free stuff! Have some free emails!

But they’re not called Salad Hut! How can they possibly make good looking salads?

My favourite is:

If you’re scared to spell out a scary, bad word, find another word to use instead of trying to hide it behind similar characters.

Penis is not even a curse word, why would they censor it? It’s just the name for the dangling thing in some pants. Wh*t th* fuck?

I’m convinced those do very little for the environment. There was some really smart executive at the plastic bottle company who made this up so they can charge more from beverage companies.

Ok, now compare texture resolutions and vertex counts.

I feel like slapping a random cat picture underneath some funny take isn’t the most effort to put into what hardly qualifies as a meme.

They move at least once in order to be immigrants, from their home country to the foreign country they now live in.

I mean literally every single immigrant because that’s the definition of an immigrant.

How do all those immigrants move, though? Are they all secretly rich? Or are you, in fact, just comfortable enough not to want to move?

The context is OP doesn’t know how to save a picture without making a screenshot.

If you ask them to unplug it and plug it back in, they’ll lie and say they already did that, though.

And if they were ashamed at all, they’d have remembered the last time the exact same thing happened.

This sounds like I hate end users which I really don’t. Their expertise lies elsewhere and I respect that. Still, sometimes it makes for funny/exhausting situations.

“My computer is broken, it won’t turn on!”

“Are you sure it’s plugged in?”

“You think I’m stupid? Of course it’s plugged in! It’s broken!”

“Sometimes the plug isn’t in all the way and then it won’t work.”

“I know how to plug in a plug, it just won’t turn on because it is b-r-o-k-e-n!”

“Are you sure the plug is all the way in?”

“It’s all the way in. My computer is broken!”

“Im coming down there and if the plug isnt all the way in, I’ll be pissed and mock you.”

“IT’S BROKEN!”

Goes down there and plugs the plug all the way in

Computer starts

I guess you can’t? I could say the same thing to you.

No, really. Thanks.

You don’t need to cool anything down. It’s a comment section on the internet, let people say what they want to say, that’s my approach at least. This disclaimer feels like a “it’s just a prank, bro” so you can deflect criticism. I’m sure commenters are aware where they’re commenting, no need to explain the obvious. And if someone comments how the meme is unfunny or anything not favourable, you don’t have to hide behind your disclaimer.

Edit: lol, you really changed the disclaimer. You can definitely handle all the comments!

Hello frens

No.

Don’t shitpost if you can’t handle the comments. Nobody needs that useless disclaimer. People will comment whatever they want without checking in with you first. As they should.

The guy who wrote those is very insightful. I also like his writing style. Thanks for sharing!

Aber es ist so cool, sich über einen sehr geringen Mehraufwand aufzuregen!

It’s not a black and white dichotomy to recognize a binary choice. You either work for a weapons manufacturer or you don’t, there’s simply no nuance there. It’s a personal choice you make to either do it or not. There’s no in-between, there’s no half-working for a weapons manufacturer. You do it or you don’t and it’s a choice you have. It might not be an easy choice and one option might have huge advantages but it’s still a choice between one thing or the other. This does not mean that all things are a choice between one thing or the other, just that this one situation is.

Unfortunately in the real world, where I work does not matter. The company will survive without me. The lowest-level cogs are completely disposable.

Again, for the third time, yes. The machine will exist whether I work there or not. That is not my point. I am not trying to dismantle the machine by choosing not to work there. I am expressing my disdain of working there. Can you please stop arguing why I can’t dismantle the machine? I am not trying to dismantle the machine. I am trying to express my unwillingness to work for a weapons manufacturer. Will the weapons manufacturer keep existing even though I choose not to work there? Yes. Will I choose to work for a weapons manufacturer which will exist regardless of me working there? No.

The reality of that means that if I don’t work here, somebody else will. My morals and ethics now put myself and my family at a disadvantage.

We are in agreement as that’s what I’ve been saying since my first comment. You made a choice between more money working for a weapons manufacturer and less money working for someone else. You chose more money and I find that choice reprehensible. You have lots of arguments why the choice is justified. I don’t think those are sufficiently convincing arguments for me personally to work for a weapons manufacturer. I am not a cog in a machine, I am a person with agency and I choose not to be a cog in this particular machine. You are a person with agency as well, by the way. You are not forced or coerced to work for your employer. You made a choice to do so and now you are justifying your choice to a person who wouldn’t make that choice.

The American dream was mistold. It’s not work hard and live a great life. The truth is, it’s swallow your pride to survive, or watch other people do it instead. The more of your pride you’re willing to swallow, the better you survive. Thats all there is to it.

I survive alright not working for a weapons manufacturer. Other people, also not working for a weapons manufacturer, make more money than I do. They might have a more stressful job than I do or bring better education to the table. I can live with that. I can rest easy, knowing that my work does not contribute to a massive pile of dead kids, though. That’s worth something, too, for me personally. Not for everyone, obviously, and I’m not trying to tell anyone how to live. I really am only expressing how I feel about this choice. I’m no preacher and my life is not a template for anyone else’s life. But I’m in a forum where people express themselves, expressing myself.

And where else should I go to support my family? Let’s look at the biggest employers in my region. Essentially it comes down to four pillars…”kill children”, “encourage addiction”, “boil the oceans”, or “sell slave-manufactured goods for insane profits”.

I sense a hint of black and white dichotomy here. I can only hope for your sake that the reality isn’t as dire as this sounds. I don’t know where you live so I can hardly refute what you’re saying. If that’s the actual choice you have, I would consider moving elsewhere if I were in your shoes but that’s easy to say, of course. Maybe I’d consider starting my own business, I really don’t know. In truth, I can’t tell if in the same circumstance I wouldn’t make the same choice as you. I probably wouldn’t try to palliate my choice by proclaiming the necessity of weapons manufacturing in order to keep the USPS in business, though. In any case, I’d keep looking for a less morally reprehensible job. That was a really bad argument if you consider how civil aviation exists and is used for mail throughout the world.

Absolutely, shit needs to change. But your bottom-up approach, attacking me personally, viewing me as your enemy because of the way I provide for my family, is not the way to do it.

I apologize if anything I said gave you the impression that I view you as my enemy or that I’m trying to attack you in any way. I’ve been trying hard to phrase what I’m saying to not be insulting or down-putting because I have no reason to insult you or put you down. I’m only trying to express my thoughts and feelings and none of them are hostile against you, honestly. I do not wish you harm or anything bad, really. If anything, I’m hoping you reconsider your choice of employer even though it is absolutely your prerogative and not my place to do so. I’m also somewhat realistic about my ability to change anybody’s mind on the internet.

Also, again, I don’t have any “bottom-up approach” as, again, I’m not trying to dismantle the war machinery.

I am not going to address your next few paragraphs because I believe you wrote them in anger over something I formulated in a way you perceived as an insult. I apologize for that. I do not mean to insult you. We disagree on this one thing while I’m sure we could find many more things we agree on. I’m trying to respectfully disagree because I do not disrespect you for the one choice I know you made that I don’t agree with.
