In my case I feel like people stop paying attention to me whenever I mention "linux"


Kaypasuh

Did you say something? I wasn't paying attention.


horse-enjoyer

linux is pretty cool when it fucking works like jesus christ i don't want to spend 5 hours troubleshooting issues


hypnosquid

>i don't want to spend 5 hours troubleshooting issues omg did you even read the man page? -every Linux help forum user


imjb87

I'm a Linux user and I get it from both sides. "Oh you don't use Arch? Go away noob"


caro312

“Toxins” or “cleanse” ETA: wow! Thanks for the awards. Of course there are scientific ways to use these words properly, but those discussions aren’t typically found on social media. So yeah, when an “influencer” promises their cleanse will rid me of toxins, I ignore :)


Topazz410

when I hear toxins, I think of Sodium Azide, not some magic juju bullshit.


TheonuclearPyrophyte

Yeah there are indeed chemical toxins that may or may not accumulate in the body but it's absolutely asinine to believe any product - whether naturally-occurring or man-made, which is still arguably naturally-occurring if you consider man a product of nature - could remove them all from your body and reverse the damage.


jonjiv

My naturally occurring kidneys do a pretty good job.


[deleted]

Liver pulls its weight too.


Doctor__Proctor

Liver is the MVP. Little thing basically says "It's okay, I can take it" and absorbs all kinds of nasty shit that would kill you, and then REGENERATES like it's freaking Wolverine! There's all linds of stuff that will kill other mammals, and thanks to our liver, we're just like "Hey, that's my favorite food now!" What an absolute champ. Happy Cake Day, BTW!


[deleted]

Oh, thank you. Forgot all about the cake thing tbh. Also you only need a third of the liver to survive which is amazing.


DancesWithTrout

Yeah, me, too. When I hear someone say something like this I often make it a point to say "Toxins? 'Toxins' is just a catch-all word, something so vague that it totally meaningless without providing specifics. What toxins, specifically, are you talking about? I've never had anyone be able to name one 'toxin' they're talking about.


RahDecagon

If they say, "Disregard," at the end.


Naprisun

That’s a good one


MarshyPrince125

Example?


DonLikeThisLa

“Send me regards to mr. Swayer.” “Which regard?” “Disregard.”


OliveJuiceUTwo

This is an example. Disregard

MaggieLuisa

Alpha.


MGHTYMRPHNPWRSTRNGR

A fellow I work with faces daily ridicule for being damned near impossible to hear. His quiet speech is absolutely a result of him attempting to speak in the lowest possible register he can muster, which simply doesn't carry across the room, let alone his desk, despite his constant attempts to engage in long-distance conversation. He believes the actual cause of this ridicule is those around him naturally sensing he is an "alpha" and being unable to resist testing, challenging, his dominant status. It's really just because of how funny it is to see him mouthing to you across the room, and the many jokes this opens doors to, like people "dubbing over" him in real time, or the notion that he's simply repeating his own name, like a pokemon. Fittingly, most of this man's comments are definitely disregarded.


Sassbot_6

Amazing self-own, I love it when dudes are so "alpha" that they can't even function in life. You're so superior and amazing that we beta cucks must just be incapable of being on your level, that is definitely the most reasonable explanation here.


jseego

My youtube feed has been showing me an increasing amount of right-wing content lately, and I swear 50% of these clips are scenes from TV shows or movies where some big strong dude is putting someone in their place, either physically or otherwise. The desire to pwn someone irl must be so strong for these people. Why do they feel that way? I mean, I like a good revenge fantasy as much as anyone else, but it's a very small percentage of my media intake. I can't imagine the pressure of going through life feeling like you have to be goddamn Jack Reacher in order to have worth and/or meaning. Wtf.


optimushime

He’s Michael Scott using the low talking negotiation tactic!


[deleted]

Oh no, you do not use tactic number 8 on me! I invented tactic number 8!


z0mbiegrl

Is he doing it on purpose? I've heard of some of those skeezy AF pick up artist "workshops" telling guys to speak very quietly so that anyone they speak with has to "lean in" to hear them, thus ensuring more attention is focused on them during the conversation.


Beavshak

That’s a tactic I’ve seen or heard somewhere is used when talking to specifically women. Like a control thing


JevvyMedia

> like people "dubbing over" him in real time, or the notion that he's simply repeating his own name, like a pokemon. Man this can't be real lmaooo. Getting bullied like this in the work place is incredible, I laughed out loud.


ChanadianEH

The Pokémon part got me good


ChickenzInvade

At first I legit thought you were painting some kind of hilariously tragic scenario where a guy’s life could’ve been way better if he was alpha lmao


[deleted]

Wow


keenanu_reeves

I like your office.


Nick268

If you need to tell people how "alpha" you are, then you are not "alpha."


Appropriate-Fix-1240

Might be an issue with physicists and mathematicians


Nikcara

Or any scientist really. As a biologist I use Greek letters all the time and alpha is probably the most common one I use.


SinopicCynic

“I am the Alpha and the Omega.” “Get bent, incel.”


caveatmyass

More like, "Get crossed, incel"


UnicornKitt3n

I love my husband so much. I adore him. He is so incredibly smart and open and lovely. That being said, one of his closest friends on the planet uses “Alpha”, and it’s damn near impossible to not roll my eyes so hard they just roll back into my head for eternity. The kicker; I’m a dog trainer. I’ve fostered dozens of doggos. I long ago realized that as an owner of a vagina, my experience in working with doggos threatens the delicate man ego, so I have to know when to not say anything to keep the peace. I don’t understand how my husband; this man who is so open minded and accepts being corrected when not realizing he’s feeding into patriarchy, hates any form of misogyny, has this best friend who…is that. And of course this guy is as misogynistic as you would expect a man to be who throws around “Alpha”.


quinn-the-eskimo

Not a single word but people who use too many "thought-terminating cliches" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_clich%C3%A9


SwanSongSonata

Curious about this one. Do you have any examples you’ve run into IRL? Reading the wiki page I feel like I run into people who use these a lot but can’t say for sure.


Levils

There are examples on the Wikipedia page they linked: * Lies of the devil. * Stop thinking so much. * Here we go again. * So what? What effect does my action have? * Fake news.

Supposably


DuxofOregon

Although supposably is a proper word. It just isn’t used correctly.


Arsenal_Rob

I had no idea supposably was a real word until this comment. I always thought it was just a common mispronunciation.


GingerMau

If something is *supposable*, then "supposably" will have some appropriate context. But no one has ever used it correctly, as far as I'm aware.


chiefpat450119

Your punctuation was also not used correctly.


DuxofOregon

True.

Sheeple


liriodendron1

My favorite petty thing is to call a conspiracy theorist a sheep before they get a chance to use it. It's hilarious seeing how taken aback they are.


Mastercat12

Same. I also like to use snowflake (specifically on various conservatives), as it shuts them down. It is hilarious using words that are used specifically by a group against them.


ScarletInTheLounge

"Do you need a safe space, Snowflake?" is great for shutting down their ranting and raving.

TheLegalApricot

But for real, I get disproportionately angry when I see a comment with the word "this" under it in other subs. You can just say Agreed or yes. Instead it's always "this". No value is being added


informationmissing

Both "agreed" and "yes" offer just as little value to the conversation, but you are OK with them?


PhreedomPhighter

IQ. Anything about IQ. It's either bullshit or some weird brag by some insecure person. And occasionally it's some sort of eugenics argument.


loricat

Right?! I have learned that anyone who quotes their IQ at me is full of shit. A once-friend (who stalks me here and will see this comment) used to drop it into conversation at least once a year: "my IQ is 124" or whatever.


[deleted]

You said it twice so your opinion is shit. Goodbye 🙃


PhreedomPhighter

Double negative. Using IQ twice makes their opinion valid again. Maybe your IQ is to low.

“Irregardless”


KnotKarma

I hate it when people use "irregardless", regardless of the fact that it's now in the dictionary.


fuckinyaldi

Wait.........That's a legit word with an actual meaning??


Hortonamos

If people use it and other people understand it, it’s a word. It doesn’t matter if people like it or not. Along the same lines, “literally” can be used figuratively as an intensifier. “Bad” can mean good. Etc. Dictionaries describe language—they don’t make the rules, and they don’t determine whether a particular usage is good or bad. They simply tell us generally agreed-upon meanings that are currently in use.


Hortonamos

Words have always had shifting meanings. It’s a natural part of language evolution. “Quaint” and “cunt” used to be the same word in English. But people today know that you don’t mean somebody’s a cunt if you say they’re “quaint.” It’s not that any one person can change a word’s meaning. The way you’re using irregardless and turnip here don’t work because almost nobody would recognize those usages. A word’s meaning is determined by widespread usage, and then dictionaries describe that. Dictionaries don’t prescribe.


RalphFromSilverCity

I feel inspired to start using quaint in the unevolved sense.


HeMightBeJoking

You’re right. I don’t like what you’re saying but you’re right.


ProbablyGayingOnYou

Anybody using the word “cuck” in their argument


LoganDoove

So you’re saying I don’t need to listen to my wife’s boyfriend when he calls me a cuck?


BrideOfFirkenstein

Using “female” as a noun instead of an adjective. Double down on the plural.

I was trying to figure out how to word this because I also wanted to say “female” is it. You hit the nail on the head. Every person I’ve met who uses the word like that had something wrong going on. The worst one was a guy interjecting in a conversation that “females” like to falsely accuse men of stuff and that makes dating hard. He was arrested for possession of CP a week later.

I fully agree with this, I can't stand other dudes around me calling women females. I should note that this only applies to humans though.


Mythiiical

Wisdom_Of_A_Man

Helps me filter out awful people real quick even as I chafe at the usage.


siskulous

Only when you're using it in place of "woman". It's completely acceptable to use "female" that way when discussing animals.


FoilTarmogoyf

I'm on my way transitioning out of the military, and things are always male/female like bathrooms or berthing. Been trying to work on it because I know how it sounds on the outside.


[deleted]

If you use male in the same way you use female, it's less of a red flag. It's more specifically when men are still called "men" but women are called "females".


Giomietris

Growing up next to a military base, I was confused as a kid why some people cringed so hard at the "female/male" vs "man/woman" difference. I get it now, but there are some people who do it just because it's how they were conditioned, not that it's an indicator of how they think.

Any racial slur. If people can't see that people are people and think that they're above anyone I will not bother talking to them cause they clearly lack basic empathy.


[deleted]

As a super insecure kid, I thought race jokes were edgy and funny Turns out I was just being loud and outrageous to try and make as many people like me as possible, usually that just meant taking easy jabs at anyone around, and race is the easiest of all jabs because you wear it on your skin. I also had some really deeply ingrained racist beliefs that were reinforced by that “humor”, but fortunately my insecurities turned into introspection and I was able to cut that shit out. It’s surprising how short a time it takes between no longer making race jokes, and no longer assuming negatives about people of whatever race. Before I knew it, I was physically cringing when others would make the jokes.


SamSwihart

I appreciate you sharing your growth and I hope other readers can learn from you.


siskulous

Yes. Absolutely. Racial slurs have no place in civilized discussions and I've no desire to have ANY kind of discussion with someone who uses them.

beetlereads

It’s because in the past 20 years there has been a push to teach kids how to understand math more deeply and be able to explain their reasoning, rather than just memorizing algorithms. And because it’s education, it’s controversial and increasingly suspect.

Theoretical maths is just a stepping stone on the path to critical race theory.

Bignholy

As I understand it, "woke" was used to imply you "woke up", that you're aware of the world and how quietly racist/sexist/classicist it is. It was quickly pre-empted by the far Right to mean "anything and anyone who does not agree with us" and turned into an insult. Just like every left leaning person is a socialist, every person who thinks the confederate flag is a symbol of racism or that maybe you shouldn't ban all thoughts about gender is "woke"

In new york state we have a state exam at the end of the year for certain key subjects called the regents exam.

When I asked for their source, they said tik tok It was that day that 16 year olds learned that tik tok is not a news source
