I know it’s nitpicking, and I apologize, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Grammatically, it’s either ‘what I look like’ or ‘how I look’ but it’s never ‘how I look like’.

Language is simply the intrafrastructure by which we touch another's mind across space and time. If the bridge holds who are you to critique the materials used to construct it? We speak in different ways, and yet we can all communicate. What makes one way superior to another?

Brother it’s really not that deep. It’s not like I’m casting a moral judgement, I’m just voicing a pet peeve of mine lol

Sister, I guess the ridiculous melodrama of my phrasing didn't cue you into that I'm just teasing.

God I hate the internet, almost as much as I hate prescriptivists.

Poe's law and all, I could easily imagine someone saying that seriously. That type of sarcasm doesn't translate into the Internet as well as saying something completely absurd and unreasonable. Even then people will probably still misinterpret it. Internet sarcasm is hard.

Tbf, some people are ridiculously melodramatic.

And grammar is the tool we use to structure our thoughts into intelligible phrases, so that our words convey the correct meaning to our audience. Sure everyone makes grammar mistakes occasionally, but if you respect your audience, you should at least attempt to use proper grammar and graciously accept it as a learning opportunity when a mistake is pointed out.

I know, but I didn't make the meme anyway, so 🤷‍♀️

So valid. I’m just screaming into the void, don’t mind me.

And I don't understand why they have an aisle going through the middle of their hair.

My unqualified opinion: I think It's easier to craft a wig this way.

I hate mirrors, absolutely horrifying creations.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I've found that when I'm exhausted, I literally don't have the energy/bandwidth to be anxious, let alone indulge in any mild dysmorphic hallucinations from the mirror. Even my typical ADHD symptoms are muted a bit. A tired brain is a much happier brain; just don't ask me to do math or anything complicated and we're good.
