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:

    All the grass in my lawn died but moss and some short weeds grew in so it still looks green and now I don't have to mow it, just trim the weeds on occasion. I'd like to find a way to encourage more moss to grow so it's comfy to walk on barefoot and maybe scatter some wildflower seeds to make it prettier. My place is shady and damp, so why fight nature when it will provide me a cool yard on its own?

      Maybe lightly watering the moss early in the morning will help, they dont have vascular tissue so drying out can be an issue for them
