  • It’s like blaming an ethernet cable for giving your computer a virus.

    The designer of the virus is the asshole, and you would be the idiot who went to the website.

    You are right that mental pain is an exaggeration, but it’s the accumulation of insufferable interactions that make you hate retail. When 25% of people expect you to act for them, you feel like a puppet. YES the business demands this, but the customer invokes it. So don’t invoke it and let workers sigh relief when you decide not to try to “test” their company response. Is this really that complicated?



  • As if the cashier is trying to engage in a discussion of class. As if they aren’t paid to ask. Just say no and feel secure with your own reasons without having to justify yourself. It’s like when I worked at ace hardware in high school and every boomer would need to tell me how dumb it is to phase out incandescent light bulbs. Trying to preach to someone about your convictions against their will is so pointless and annoying.

    When communities aren’t as populated we rely on a more central content feed. Young reddit was the same way. People identified with the site as a whole with advice animal memes and news instead of everyone having their perfect niche subreddit feed that emerged with a huge userbase.

    The general feed that we have now is a little immature but that’s how reddit was too. Lemmy or whichever platform succeeds will mature and cater to us eventually but for now it’s kind of like going back in time. It’s weird and fun and definitely good enough. No fucking way I’m being an experiment to some shitheads that don’t respect what reddit is about. It will all be worth it when lemmy develops I think.
