I hate when people start sentences with "uh/um," and that goes both online and offline. If it's just a verbal tic, that's fine :obama-spike: , but I mean the "what I am about to say is smug and condescending and I need to pre-load my sense of superiority into it" version.
While I enjoy :dril: 's evergreen tweet about the idea, I absolutely hate the unironic application of "there is actually zero difference between good & bad things" when it is used as a serious arguing tactic, online or offline. It's actually baffling how often I've heard people argue like dril without being aware of how absurd it sounds.
Any/all misuse and misunderstanding of the idea of "bad apples." They. Spoil. Bunches. You. Bootlickers. :acab-2:
The laughing-while-crying emoji. It feels like a boomer cry for help, especially because it's used so often when they're mad about something and are trying to hide it behind infantile masking. That said, I love our agony emoji family. :agony-minion:
People using "literally" when they mean "figuratively."
Anybody saying anything good about Brandon ever. I was screaming into the void in 2020 that he was a politician that had voted for every single piece of shitty legislation for his 40 year career, and then people are shocked when he's not some progressive queen fighting for his campaign promises. He lied! He's always lied! If anyone looked at his voting history they'd know he was lying! :monke-rage:
"Actually, language changes all the time, so I literally could care less." :reddit-logo:
