Anyone else expected this to.. go somewhere? Like have an outcome?

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 162 points 4 months ago

lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn't

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 56 points 4 months ago

Life always has a conclusion 💀

Eh, I have a 100% immortality rate at present.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Based on all available evidence from the course of my life so far, the data clearly shows a 0% death rate. Current trends expected to hold while data collection available.

Fuck that. I don't care where they're from. Scammers don't deserve to be treated with respect or dignity. They are subhuman trash and ruin people's lives.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 91 points 4 months ago

"Pajeet" is racist as fuck. We can hate scammers without being racist.

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 49 points 4 months ago

I don't see how it's any different from calling Russians "Ivan" of Germans "Fritz". It's not a nice thing to do but I'd place it pretty far down on the racism scale tbh.

[-] EndlessKnotBoi@lemm.ee 28 points 4 months ago

Ivan or Fritz are real names/surnames from those countries which have completely different meaning now compared to how they were used in wars. Pajeet is a made up name only used so far to hate on Indians/ South Asians.

[-] Hubi@feddit.org 30 points 4 months ago

TIL it's not even a real name

While yes it is absolutely racist, scammers are not capable of having an identity associated with someone who is on par with humanity. They're far below animals.

I prefer the term "demihuman" or any other dehumanizing language so they know who they are.

Minus the human trafficked ones of course. Only the vast majority who do it willingly.

Edit: let me clarify. I did not say using racist terminology is correct nor justified. I'm saying that people who scam others are so far removed from the identity of humanity and compassion that they do not deserve the light of day, much less the air they breathe.

[-] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 43 points 4 months ago

Using racial slurs isn't only damaging and insulting to the person being directly talked to or about. I suggest adopting a blanket position against racial slurs in any context.

[-] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago

But what about <incredibly contrived specific example involving song lyrics, guns to heads etc.>, can I say it then?

And a large portion of them are being trafficked for slave labor; so that's fun

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

Doesn't that actually absolve them of their shit behavior? It isn't the same to try and scam grandmas because you want a shinier car than because you're locked at a basement and beaten up if you don't make your kidnappers money.

The problem with using dehumanising language like this is that it means that someone’s humanity, in your eyes, is contingent on your approval.

It says more about you as a person than it does about the people you criticise.

[-] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

Yeah are we just ignoring the racial slurs? Bigots gonna be bigot-ing. Usually they’ll do so on 4chan.

At least a couple of Kitboga’s calls have originated in India, but all the characters he plays are as upstanding as they come. Except for this one time at Dave & Buster's. Kit:

  • never wishes for the plague
  • always respects all varieties of English
  • always respects that not everyone calling everyone else is US-based
  • never uses slurs, and Kit’s
  • never gonna give you up
[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 months ago

Kitboga’s “more Kitboga” channel has gotten me through so many work days. He’s one of the most insanely funny and talented dudes I’ve never seen.

The community seems split on this one lol. Makes me think that some of the people who subscribed to this community literally don't know what a greentext is. Which is nothing new; I made this months ago:

Personally, it takes the fun out of creating OC because I like making edgier memes but there's no community for it here. And even if something does make people laugh and get upvoted, the mods will take it down. (For example, I made a meme about a pregnant alcoholic mother and it got taken down. Like really? We can't make abortion jokes?) So fuck it, I mainly just repost now. If you can't beat em join em.

[-] Early_To_Risa@sh.itjust.works 37 points 4 months ago

It seems like some people who aren't familiar with greentexts don't quite get the point of the community. You read the ramblings of Anon like you would watch animals at the zoo, which is different than endorsing everything Anon says.

And you shouldn't. Anon is usually deranged.

Some bad words and unhealthy opinions are bound to make an appearance. In that case, you're supposed to be dumbfounded at how Anon thinks/acts, shake your head, and maybe get a guilty chuckle out of it. Like the sidebar says, if you're getting angry while reading these, you're probably doing it wrong.

[-] hakase@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Reading this thread I realized that I had no idea what that word meant, figured it was a particular kind of scam.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

wiktionary has suprisingly good info on it https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/pajeet

tl;dr: yes, it's a slur

[-] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Cool that the shitjustworks mods are just straight up posting racial slurs now

E: Lotta racism enjoyers in here lmao, seems to vibe real well with shitjustworks's Rule 2

[-] JeffreyOrange@lemmy.world 131 points 4 months ago

A slur in my good christian greentexts? What has 4chan come to?

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 41 points 4 months ago

Noooooooo waaaaaaaay. You're telling me a screenshot from 4Chan miiiiight contain racial slurs?

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 months ago

how could there be slurs on 4chan?!?! unacceptable!!!

[-] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 months ago

Anon is a racist asshole?

Remember: you can block this community or even certain people. You don't have to read anything that offends you.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 months ago

OP is exactly as much a bad person as the scammers.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 74 points 4 months ago

exactly as much.

right.

I wish black death upon your mother.

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 20 points 4 months ago
[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 32 points 4 months ago

Not if she’s got the Black Death.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Too bad, you gotta fuck her. It's in the contract.

If an Arabic speaker is bothering you, simply tell them "Kos Omak"

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

What does this one mean? And is it pronounced how it's written???

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
