I just checked Urban Dictionary, and here’s what it has to say:

I’ve just embraced it and will shamelessly look it up like the old person I’ve become.

It’s really mind-boggling.

Also, ironically a bit ethnocentric to suggest that the challenges in the US or Europe are in any way on par with life in places like Brazil, India, Africa!

I would listen to this person’s extremely specific rant.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

People like to characterize those they already want to disagree with by the worst, most extreme examples of the group. So before even considering the benefits/drawbacks of veganism, people have already chosen their position after thinking “vegans are just so preachy and annoying”.

It’s putting outrage before reason, and it’s really common in social media and news:

  • Think about how Fox News viewers picture liberals as the least coherent, unreasonable individuals that they see get interviewed, when in reality most are just normal people.
  • Or the reverse: how people in liberal circles might see conservatives depicted as Maga-hat wearing weirdos who think 5G is killing them.
  • Same with how many religious people evaluate atheism or atheists think of religion by their worst representatives.

In short, I think the answer is that it’s a symptom of tribalism and identity-politics.

“late 1900s” is something I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to hearing.

This is also around the time smartphones came out. Wait, were the boomers right?

Oh yeah, I think I know the guy you’re talking about. If it’s who I’m picturing, it’s the one that used to show up for bit parts on Conan’s Late Night back in the day too.

I’ve heard he’s been witnessed using some sort of board to plan out his tactics.

In that case, carry on with the charges.

Putin was quoted as saying “святой ад”

I bet he takes back his moves.

Racoons are smart and will get into anything. They frequently figure out lids and containers.

Skunks are cool, but if they spray, your whole neighborhood is going to stink for a while.

They say you can sometimes hear his wooden teeth chattering, if the wind is just right.
