Fun thread if you want to see a thousand freaks baying for blood because a service worker judged them.

      They basically turn half of their brains off and assume every tweet is speaking directly to them just bc it showed up in their feed

        100%. many years ago, i made fun of someone buying fashion shoes that cost like $2000. like "what a dumbass" and a whole blob of undifferentiated burgerbrains leapt to the defense of it by saying "it's their money, you have no right to judge how they spend it!" as though i had asked the council of cardinals to deny christ.

        they brayed without any hint of irony, with the full understanding that the wearer would be stepping over homeless people in those shoes, daily.

        I still remember when Twitter came out, trying it for like 3 days and then never going back because BBCode forums were so much more usable. I don't want my conversations to get buried, I want them to slowly build over a course of weeks until there's only two people left in the thread who still have appropriate context to follow the conversation/argument being had and they all yell at anyone new who comes in and tries to join it.

        Honestly I feel Twitter-brain might be worse than :reddit-logo:-brain. Maybe not worse but absolutely comparable. Something about it just seems to liquify some people's brain to an absurd degree

          Redditors are very predictable. Twitter on the other hand is a site where people try to come up with the most deranged takes possible for clout.

    I remember an anecdote of Menaker quoting one of his former employers, paraphrasing: abusing service workers is one of the most common outlets of social anger.

    The tweet psychos are annoyed at someone who isn't servile and submissive, which is par the course for American entitlement to dominance.

    Hope those people have insulin shots at the ready, probably don't realize they might be diabetic.

    It is really funny getting a milkshake at 6am.

    It is also really funny that people are mad about being judged for it.

    This is the really stupid and pointless kind of drama that I live for.

    Twitter: "Who wants a milkshake at 6 in the morning?!"

    Me: "Oh boy, 6 AM!"

      If I'm up at 6AM I'm gonna be eating raw coffee beans just to keep myself alive, a fucking milkshake would be the last thing on my mind.

    Sofie, I'm going to need you to recognize the harm you've caused by calling my morning ritual a "big baby wants a ba-ba drink". I know you didn't mean to, but that's no excuse.

    Dumb shit all around but as someone who had to work the late late shifts my workday ended at 8am. Id very often get judgy looks for grabbing a sweet treat or especially some beers to drink afterwards.

    People just can't really comprehend not everyone works 9-5 and what time you do things at is actually entirely irrelevant. I've been called an alcoholic for having 2 beers at 9 am while that same dioshit will pound down a 12 pack but it's ok because it's after 5.

    I go to bed at noon. Am I only allowed to enjoy alcohol at night before I go in to work lol. The worst part was the sleep stuff though. Because I sleep through the day, even when they know my job, I contatly get shat on for sleeping all day and being lazy despite actually only sleeping 4 hours because again people just can't comprehend that there's an entire workforce that has to do shit while everyone else is asleep.

    This is all now mostly irrelevant to the post as it is funny seeing how whiny they are on both sides but it got me started on a rant when it reminded me how much it suched working those hours.

      none of the people blasting service workers in that thread work nights lol, theyre just americans who hate service workers, gain their entire sense of worth from a capitalist hierarchy, and bay for blood when they feel even slightly judged by someone lower on the rung. If a billionaire had said "the secret to my wealth????? I make my own black coffee at home" they'd be clapping like violent little wet seals, begging to be clubbed.

      god i have to stop being high on this website

      You should remind all of the people giving you shit of your basic reality and point out that they are stupid fucks for not getting it

    something being called a "joke" doesn't make it okay to say.

    Well, this is a true statement. But... given the context? :picard:

    lmao i bet dudes would play it off more if starbucks started offering protein powder again so they can have manly milkshakes in the morning. some dudes are so sensitive to to the fact they just want 700 calories of a sweet drink in the morning. personally though im such an alpha that if you're not taking 10 shots of raw eggs with a few dabs of ghost pepper sauce then obviously youre a beta so it doesn't matter. that's how i prove how manly i am actually

      Starbucks offering protein powder sounds like a genius grift why would they ever stop that

      I guess protein powder + coffee does sound like a gastrointestinal nightmare but I know quite a few gym bros that would be all about it

      it doesn't actually release anything. you can't vent by getting into endless, pointless arguments that lead to nothing but uninterrupted strings of mutual narcissistic injuries. you can only get more mad. which is the entire point, because if vomitting your rage over other posters would be cathartic, nobody would be on twitter all the time.

      this will continue until every last twitter user has written a full trilogy of 1200 page novels about the people living rent free in their head.
