My personal favorite is when they decide to read the comments on the post and just let the same 30 seconds of audio play over and over and over.

To put a finer point on it, it’s not even just “moral fibre”. Sure, higher societal morality is something we should all strive for, but I’m not even asking for that much.

It’s the morally neutral bullshit like handwriting, or reading a novel on your phone instead of on paper, or spending your free time playing video games or watching YouTube/Twitch as opposed to watching Network television. There’s no reason to raise a fuss or dub others inferior for doing things a little different.

Sounds like a great way to get a free car!

Buy the car, park it in your driveway for the next six years and use the cash incentives to make your car payments!

Meh. After hearing years of complaints from old people about how terrible young people are, and working with a lot of young people who are objectively much better people than the old ones that complain about them, I always try to stop to think about why traditions are valuable.

Does writing your words with extra loopy bits that are less legible than print REALLY make you a better person?

Not learning cursive is like not learning Latin. Maybe it was useful at some point, but the only reason to push for it now, is because “That’s how I did it, so it must be the best way, and everyone else is wrong!”

Probably my kids. So far, they seem to be a lot better at all of this than I ever was.

And, most young adults don’t sign in cursive anymore, so, aside from terrible handwriting, their printed name isn’t really much different than a typed name.

Yeah. That’s because nobody cares.

We just wanted to get through the line, we don’t care who’s paying your tab.

Property of (Sports team or college) is a very common phrase that just means “I’m a fan”.

No, I’m pretty sure that was real fall damage.

I do often hurt myself in my own confusion, but that usually feels more like a bump on the head or a stubbed toe.

I don’t know if this is still a thing, but I feel there was a surge of media in the 90s and 00s telling us:

If you’re not popular at school, all you have to do is cut your hair, get contacts, and buy the same expensive clothes as everyone else, THEN you’ll finally be happy.

Honestly, I think it was because you were shitty to someone who was just trying to be part of the conversation. That’s why I downvoted it, not because of AI, but because I think other should avoid this conversation if this is how you’ll treat them.

You guys have savings?!?

Bring em on! What do you got for us?

I work with a guy who has a long Polish name that nobody can spell, and it makes me smile every time he’s referred to as John G.

If you say so.

Even saying “Maybe there are good uses for AI” will get you buried in downvotes around here.

90% of Lemmy totally shares your view, including me, but sure, you’re being oppressed.

What kind of douchebag response is this?

Starling had a completely reasonable comment that was directly related to your post.

Chill, bro. Not every statement is a fight.

Trent grew up not far from me, so it’s neat to think that I potentially could have caught an early NIN show, but due to our age gap, they were already pretty big by the time I had heard of them.

No memory = no point in doing it.

If you don’t remember something, it might as well have never happened.

Besides, I’m already sick of this time around, and my genetics were fucked to begin with. Give me a redo with my memories and a new body, and then we might have something.

I kind of wish he had a shitty photoshopped wig in the second frame.

Hot take: McDonald’s fries are trash. Sure, I’ll eat them, but every other fast food place has better fries.
