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:

    They really really want strangers to know about their good time with their exotic foreign friend where they had authentic exotic cuisine and had real authentic exotic wine from a good year. The article's supposed purpose is just there as bait.
