I like how you needed to demonstrate that you know what passive aggression is.

Fast food social media. Nice term there.

Anyways, I don't see why this has to be a matter of high privilege vs. low privilege. There's definitely a correlation, but depressed rich people and happy poor people aren't uncommon. Also, not all questions of positivity vs. negativity are in contexts that relate to privilege. It could be about the direction of a media series, for example, which is where I've heard it misused.

Actually I would call that aggressive passive, because it's very upfront and aggressive, but in a not actually very aggressive way.

Not tone deaf, just... doesn't really make sense in context.

Every time I see the phrase "toxic positivity" my first instinct to contest it, because my first experiences with the phrase were a misapplication (that being positive is somehow toxic,) but so far on Lemmy, I've only seen it used in ways that make sense (the toxic expectation that others will be exclusively positive.)

Don't worry, Mr. Mofu, I've got this argument covered for you. Ahem...

Dwarves really get the short end of the stick. They're not "greedy" for digging too deep, it's literally what they were made to do. Their whole economy depends on mining. What do you want them to do, grow crops? With what farmland? The elves and halflings took it all. And elves never awaken ancient evils of the forest by growing trees too tall, and halflings never face the consequences of their greed in eating too much. Dwarves spend all day working so they can survive, and the stories call them evil. Elves spend all day lazing around in their vacation homes, and if you complain, somehow you're the bad guy.

Well, to be fair, "Why can't websites just remember that I said no to cookies?"

Exactly as ordered. Good job, private.

Came here to say this.

My expectation was that one might rotate an equine on an axis other than yaw.

I've been blocking political communities, so I don't get so much of this. I would recommend you also block communities that annoy you. We're in the same boat of browsing by top X hours.

Solarpunk doesn't really bug me though because it's (supposed to be) more about the good that could be rather than complaining about what is. (Don't get me wrong, complaints can be valid, but that's not what I come to Lemmy for.)

Yup, the weird cheeses.

But yeah, it is delicious.

Which also requires effort.

Way to ruin that guy's Plague Inc run, man.

Yeah, I know. But "what does greek mythology say about using windows" would have been less funny.

If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.

That's weird. I don't get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says "Sign In." Maybe it's because I'm on Windows 11?

Wha...? Why would they...? Was there something else in the bill that they didn't like?
