Why ARE WE randomly capitalizing CERTAIN WORDS for no APPARENT reason?

[-] UsernameHere@lemmy.world 118 points 2 months ago

YOU’RE absolutely correct, ENJOY.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 2 months ago

BECAUSE if we leave too much SPACE between capitalized KEYWORDS they blend TOGETHER, we get BORED and stop reading the SENTENCE

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago

Why does this read like a Trump campaign email/text

I really want to know who entered my info into their system so I can bludgeon them with a rusty chain, there is no opting out lol

It's too bad it's UGLY because you're RIGHT this was much easier to READ

MY LIFE OUT OF EVEN 1+1 YOU'RE ENJOY!

[-] sleen@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

They even capitalised the NUMBERS

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 15 points 2 months ago

It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.

[-] abrinael@lemmy.world 81 points 2 months ago

I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).

[-] grue@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

That's when it's time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 26 points 2 months ago

Thats our national issue, democrats care far less about the fascist vomit of the right than they do being polite, "understanding," and "reaching across the aisle."

J6ers tried to overtake the govt, hang em for treason. If their backers violently rise up, take em out too. Problem solved. Instead, dems make excuses for Republicans every day, say they can't do anything about anything, then push a bunch of policies to further snuff out the left instead.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

Democratic politicians feel this way because they are mostly friends with their colleagues across the aisle. They all eat at the same luncheons together, hang out at the same establishments in DC, attend the same fundraisers and lobbying events.

I think the voters tend to have a different point of view from those in DC. Consider that even Republican lawmakers were running for their life on Jan6. Dem voters are growing fatigued with the constant gaslighting from the establishment politicians, and hopefully soon might provide cause for their “elected representatives” to flee as well. At this point we’ve been left with painfully few alternatives.

Lastly just want to say I do agree with full treason charges for anyone involved with Jan6. Obstruction was a laughable wrist slap, this is far too serious for such measures. The rioters kind of had the right idea but for literally all of the wrong reasons. It’s tea party republicans all over again (which was funded by Koch bros of course). Instead of addressing this in a serious manner, Dems considered doing nothing at all for 2 years before they finally started bringing the wrong charges. Pathetic.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

They reach across the aisle because they basically never have control of Congress. Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything. When they don't have all 3, they have to reach across the aisle to pass anything. So guess how long they've had all 3? They've had it for 4 years of the last 24 years.

And if they didn't reach across, guess what happens. The GOP shuts down the government like they did to Obama.

So what can you do move things left? Give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories in all 3 houses.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Rewarding them for moving further right hasn't worked for decades, but surely it will this time!

There's a reason they cant pull the votes to get all 3, turns out the people voting for Republicans aren't going to switch parties cause dems chase after them year after year abandoning anyone left of mid right establishment dems.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Everytime the Dems lose, they go to the center to find votes. And they find them! That's how Bill Clinton won, he went to the center (some say right, whatever). Gore went a little left and then lost. So Obama learned to not run left and instead ran on broad "hope". His reward for passing the ACA was losing Congress for his last 6 years. Thanks voters. Clinton went a little left on climate change, supposedly the important issue for the left, and lost. So Biden learned to not run left, and he won!

Every time the Dems go left they lose. So they go to the center to find voters and they find them. And you wonder why they go to the center?

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

Every time the Dems go left they lose

I'm sure it has nothing to do with immediately abandoning those talking points once they're elected. A single Republican gripes and "well there's nothing we can do we're just doing their thing now. Sucks to suck 🤷‍♂️"

Of course, as illustrated here they're happy to blame the left though even though their entire thing is "fuck the left." whether its outright like it is right now, or the passive "WE'LL TOTALLY DO LEFT STUFF GUYS JUST VOTE FOR US.......whoops sorry someone said no so we're conservatives now"

How do you know? Its not like we are living in this situation right now

In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

Only the stupidity that affects your work directly.

[-] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 months ago

More things are a boomerang than you think.

Australian mythbusters: let's check this out.

Jokes aside, I think you are right.

[-] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

Pff, past jobs I've been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).

That's probably not a bad approach in general, but sometimes shit matters.

Well, he is an actor...

Now you have an engineer do that. Boeing?

Engineer: "If speed == slow, do nose down"

QA engineer: "But what if the not redundant sensor if faulty?"

Engineer: "Good is good enough, I have more to do and deadlines to catch"

QA engineer: "You're absolutely correct, ENJOY!"

[-] Senal@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

Your missing the part in the middle where you spend 6 months telling them in no uncertain terms that the thing they are asking is stupid and will not work properly/safely.

Various back and forth emails, a completely "justified" performance review program because of your "falling standards" and several meetings with various managers at different levels of "importance".

Also the "You're absolutely correct, ENJOY" is written at the bottom of your resignation letter or told to them directly in your "redundancy" exit interview.

But 1+1 is 5. I'm sick and tried of people pretending 1+1=1. The sum is always bigger than each of their addends. How do people not get that

[-] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 15 points 2 months ago

Are you Terrance Howard?

[-] example@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago

it's clearly 3, stop spreading misinformation

... For sufficiently large values of 1.

I have died on dumber hills than arguing against 1 + 1 = 5.

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 16 points 2 months ago

Are arguments really that bad? I think this is a rather cynical point of view. I don't want to reach this stage.

[-] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Friendly debates can be a healthy thing. Angry, heated, bitter arguments? Yeah, I'd argue they aren't too great for your mental health.

I've always been like this. Sadly my wife finds controversy at every turn and I get dragged in.

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

I really like this and will embrace it going forward. I have nothing to gain by engaging with nonsense.
