I agree with this 100%
I used to love wallowing in bad news, but it just got to the point it was having more of a negative impact than it’s worth. I still pay attention to what’s going on, it just doesn’t need to be via an IV bag all day so I filter most of it out now.
It’s a valid question, yet you get downvoted…
We called people like SadSadSatellite “Hipsters” back in my day 👵
You’re… not wrong… 🤔
This coming from the guy literally picking fights in the conservative community over this…
Thanks for the insight. It’ll be something to keep in mind going forward.
The place I experienced this the worst was a job where I was in a leadership position, lol. (I have since come to the conclusion that I’m not the leader type)
I’m just really direct, and get told I need to consider how I say things… The only example coming to mind is something I don’t really want to talk about openly on Lemmy. I’ll give a vague represantation though
(My statements are verbatim, the replies are paraphrased)
I’ll say “You didn’t do XYZ.” - They say “But I have done X”
Next time I try “Have you done XYor Z?” - Then I hear “Why are you interrogating me?”
“What have you done?” - “Why are you being accusatory?”
Those are all plain and simple black and white questions. I have yet to figure out the code I was supposed to speak.
Those examples are from the same person, but I get this reaction from most people when I ask simple questions
Not 100% sure what you’re asking, but I think it’s about the flowery language and “code”?
Not when you’re speaking in code…
Well now you tell me… ;)
Neither. They expect us to figure out and speak in the flowery language and codes that they use, and get upset when we can’t, when I feel like it would be easier for them to just -listen- to what we’re saying, because it’s usually in black and white.
This post is my lived experience.
Oh my fucking god, this. Why are people like this?
“I have no idea what you’re talking about”
to
“Why are you mansplaining??” In 6 seconds…
Yeah, okay buddy. I suppose next you’re gonna tell me climate change is real, huh?
YYYY.MM.DD
Hyphens are overrated
Jesus, you people are everywhere
(and I love it, lol)
I have a hotdog in my car.
