I’m pretty sure I’m among the very oldest of Gen Z and I’m 24 so stop accusing me of being almost 30 lmao

Purely anecdotally, I’m Gen Z and I went to high school with a guy who was big into vinyls, and have never otherwise met someone with that interest. So it tracks in my limited experience

The best part is when you’ve been eating something that you thought was vegan and then you look again at the ingredients for no particular reason and you notice that 2/3 down the list there’s some animal product hidden under like 3 layers of euphemism

i stayed up way too late so im no longer on my overnight schedule and am in fact up in the morning

im a normal dude who gives compliments all the time. it literally is just as simple as be normal, in my experience. ive said “I love your hair!” to black women verbatim before (and also other women but just considering the context here), and they were like “thanks!” and we moved on with our lives.

the gamers are not sending their best, folks

Well, he is the president Americans deserve. I don’t know who is more representative of the American soul though, Musk or Trump. They’re both so American.

A curator that only tells us about the most based games? Sign me up

i wonder how long that video’s gonna be lodged in my brain

are we gonna be frail lil old fuckers in a retirement home (or the flaming wreckage of society or whatever exists by the time we get there) and still quoting that shit?

Someone is literally making alt accounts specifically to harass me because I casually disagreed with their opinion on a rule on a subforum of a niche communist internet forum

Amazing

I’ve been knocked down and counted out my whole life

dude you are a rich white racist american born in 1942 you have had pretty much every advantage any human being has ever had

Why are you harassing me like this? I did not in that thread and still do not understand why I am being treated with such open hostility.

How many times do we have to warn you about good posts in !badposting@hexbear.net

Mods

Same as my regular address, I have a toilet in my house

Nah I’m on his side you can’t be mid rolling in dark souls smh

I mean it’s well established on hexbear that it is not allowed to throw insults at comrades over petty bullshit, which is strictly enforced and is why his comment was quickly removed. What exactly am I supposed to be self-reflecting about?

What exactly am I not dealing with that I should learn to deal with? I am currently being paid as we speak so I’m sitting around engaging in a discussion about a rule instead of working. I’m not posting stuff that breaks the rule, I’m not proactively posting about the rule. I discuss it when it comes up.

A person on an internet forum is posting about relevant topics in a thread, deal with it

because its fucking elon musk

This is literally not an explanation, you’re just repeating the assertion I questioned. I could make just as valid an argument the other way around. Posts of Elon Musk tweets are inherently low quality. Why? Because it’s fucking Elon Musk. Also I have an even stronger argument, it’s because I can go see Elon Musk tweets any time I want by typing www.twitter.com into my address bar. It is higher effort and higher quality to post things that I would not otherwise have found

Okay, well, that’s what it sounds like when the posts have to be about someone “near the levers of power.” If it is not about that and is instead about the quality of the posts, I ask once again the question. Why is a picture of an Elon Musk tweet inherently a higher quality post than a picture of a tweet by someone with fewer followers?

I mean I’ve pointed out the part that I feel is unexplained and I still feel that way. I’m sorry that you’re apparently freaking the fuck out over someone on the internet having a different opinion than you. Have you considered that I have like 10 twitter followers and therefore my comments are low quality and you shouldn’t be paying attention to them at all?
