People who proudly boast about how they never spend a dime on Epic Games, in their store, but has hundreds of free games to play with no intent to play them. Like, I don’t know who is supposed to be impressed by that. Not to mention, that’s not really a good method of protesting if you’re someone who hates Epic Games.
You’re still spending the time and effort, not to mention even bothering to have an account with them to begin with, to redeem free games that they give away. Who are you seriously trying to impress or what message are you trying to convey? Because all I see are contradictions and ironies.
Acing cognitive tests.
Most people don’t know that ‘dumb’ is spelled with a B…
Hey, I’m no dummy
I’m no dumby.
Bumb sounds like something from 'Allo 'Allo
I definitely qualify for Mensa, but I’ve never applied because only losers brag about their IQ score, and only idiots are impressed by it. I’m seriously considering it now though, just to pull out my card when right wing idiots call me stupid for being a leftist.
they will just call you stupid for pulling out your mensa card.
It’s a situational strategy, you have to lock them into buying into that metric first. But for a disturbingly common kind of person, that’s not really much effort.
Even still, it’s not really useful for changing minds directly, just lining them up to feel like a fool so they might be meeker in the future. It’s a game of inches.
how old are you? are you really so niave you think this is in any way going to be ‘effective’.
all you are doing is making yourself into an asshole here, so you can feel smug and superior to these folks. like is this even real, or is this just an imaginary scenario in your head you are making up?
because having regular interaction with such people most of my life, i can tell you you are not convincing them of anything no matter what you do. they only typically change their beliefs based on personal tragedy or trauma.
I sense great irony in the force, Luke.
all you are doing is making yourself into an asshole here, so you can feel smug and superior to these folks
These folks’ entire political worldview is based on feeling smug and superior to commie libtards. It’s just ego and tribalism, purely emotional justifications. They don’t care about facts, they care about posturing and rhetorical victories.
they only typically change their beliefs based on personal tragedy or trauma.
Which is what makes shame and belittlement so effective at denting their armor. It isn’t about convincing them in the moment, it’s about making them feel small and stupid. Feeling small and stupid is personal trauma, and if it happens enough they might abandon the beliefs that target them as small and stupid.
The biggest problem with the left is that we try to be civil and win the debate with facts and logic, when the audience doesn’t give a shit about facts or logic. They are simple creatures, shame is the only thing their walnut brains understand.
I would assume everyone here has heard Jamie Loftus “My Year In Mensa”, but if you havent it is a wild ride. Joining as a joke, then realizing its just a bizarre clique with crazy characters and habits.
My brief brush with Mensa was at a conference. Three of them were trying to figure out how to use a keycard for the door and asked me for help.
A key card. Even without knowledge of one (who doesn’t) the basic idea was right there in front of them on the key reader.
Yeah Mensa isn’t really an organization for geniuses, it’s an organization for geniuses who wanna huff their own farts about it.
Its more than that. The IQ or “smart” is trivial. What it is all about is superiority like you said plus a place where members express extremist, racist, and misogynistic views with little consequence.
They are hardly geniuses.
I’m thinking about getting metal legs. It’s a risky operation, but it’ll be worth it.
IQ scores have been proven to have no correlation with intelligence, just ability to learn how IQ tests work.

Fathers who claim they have never changed a diaper.
Yeah, as a father of four this always baffled me. As if changing a diaper makes you less of a man. WTF, it’s literally your biological instinct to care for your offspring, all I’m hearing is people bragging about how they’re an evolutionary dead end.
All I hear is they are a misogynistic lazy fuck…
Same with people who boast about never reading a book
I’m not a father at all, and I’ve changed diapers.
Fucking useless parasites proud of being parasites.
Their vehicle.
Think of, for example, the obnoxious shitbag in his emotional support truck, or the BMW prick, and all the behaviors attributed thereto.
what if your pride and joy is base level hatchback with a manual transmission?
or are you just talking about people who see autos as status symbols of their wealth and ‘success’ despite the the fact their car is objectively a moneypit POS, like a Jeep.
Whoa, I ran a used 5-speed for about a decade and totally douched out on how much I was not paying for my car.
i have a couple of friends who are stupidly addicted to their falling apart 20 year old cars, but they seem to take perverse pride in dropping $5K for a new transmission or other major repair every other year, and going on about how much they are saving buy not buying a new car…
i have one buddy with a 2004 VW and he’s spend like 20K on it in the past 4-5 years and like goes on about how new cars are all debt traps and he’ll never have a loan again… and i’m over here looking at a '23 Integra that’s like 25K… and won’t need any major repairs for 15+ years…
Oh, the engine on mine was going out and I sold it to buy something else. It has to go when that happens.
My philosophy is that I have to be able to fix it myself.
It’s a vehicle. It’s used for transportation. Being proud of it is always weird.
not every car is used for transportation dude. many are used for recreation, for aesthetics, for self-expression, etc.
please go to a car show full of car people and lecture them how they are all weirdos, see how that works out for you.
If someone has a car to drive on closed tracks that’s completely reasonable sport. Driving like an idiot on public roads is not. Most “car people” are just big children driving loud cars around pissing everyone off. There’s no point in lecturing those people. They don’t have the brain capacity necessary to comprehend this.
you don’t know any car people. most car people are not doing that. most car folks are very very serious about driving and driving well and safely and yeah, they do not do stupid shit unless it’s on a closed track or it’s a rural area where there are no other cars or people to possibly hit or endanger.
what you are talking about is obnoxious assholes, who are not necessarily car people. they are just obnoxious assholes.
lol. You’re wrong. That isn’t a scotsman fallacy… further your original claim was nothing more than a brash generalization claiming all car people are loud and obnoxious, which is also a fallacy. God. I love lemmy. Everytime someone tries to show you that you are making a logically fallacy, it’s always, always, always, a made in their original claim. It’s so hilarious how many of you are clueless about your own ignorance, and yet you feel like you are the very smart peopel who know about logic and only you are logically consistent. You’re not.
I said, you don’t know them. Which you obvious, you do not. You are clueless and you are doubling down on your ignorance to feel superior rather than possibly admit, you’re wrong, and what you are calling out is a certain subset of people
You drive a tree?
I drive a car. Not an extension of my penis.
Oh, I’ve just never had a car that transpires. Plenty of trees though
Ooooo… got it. Fixed.
I saw one of my old friends was proposed to in front of her now fiance’s Dodge truck. He was wearing camo. She said yes!. Jesus Christ talk about lacking a personality.
his personality is his multiple DUI violations.
It’s wild to me how like people who DUI are proud of it, it’s so fucking bizarre. and they always drive objectively unreliable shitty cars that they are very proud of.
There’s a big open outdoor shopping mall area near me that for some reason they decided to allow people to drive in the interior streets instead of putting the garages on the edges of the area so people can park and just walk around. On Friday and Saturday evenings, idiots with pimped up cars and loud exhausts love to just drive the interior streets over and over to get maximum attention from shoppers walking around. It’s loud, obnoxious, and makes the place stink of car exhaust; not to mention a waste of gas.
I could understand it if it’s a project they work on, eg restoring it from a junkyard. For some people, their car is not just a utility they use to get around; similar to how much of my life revolves around a computer I built.
But yeah, that’s not many people. Quite a few bought theirs out of a yard.
My neighbor gloats about how loud his electric vehicle is. He actually has a system to produce loud noise simulating a hemi engine in it. So fucking stupid
I’ve learned that EV owners are absolutely not immune to bouts of vehicular douchebaggery. But putting a vroom vroom box in your EV? That’s just a cry for help.
I’m not sure you could call it a “flex” but the number of people I meet who are almost proud of how bad they are at math is ridiculous. Short of having been diagnosed with dyscalculia, lacking basic mathematics skills as an adult should be on par with not knowing how to read.
It blows my mind how many other Americans I come across who lack basic understandings of fractions. We use the damn imperial system, which is a whole other issue for a different lemmy rant.
lots of people i meet brag they don’t read either dude.
usually after they see that I’m reading a book or if I tell them I like to read. they seem to find this very offensive and upsetting.
i notice this especially with like, tech and medical workers? I also met quite a few english teachers who flexed how they don’t read and think reading is dumb.
english teachers who […] don’t read
Not having time to read I could understand. Teaching comes with a lot of overtime. But actively bragging that they don’t?!
My head hurts just thinking about that.
plenty of people working in teaching/education are rabidly anti-intellectual. and lots of people in life are rabidly-hypocritical.
the irony here too was the few people i met like this, also lectured me on my ‘problematic’ choices of reading material not being woke enough. like i had this date with an English teacher who went off on me for 30m about how racist/sexist I was for not being intimately familiar with Toni Morrison, and when I asked her when the last time she read it, it was 15+ years ago in college… the irony was just… so insane. she was going at me for not having read a book she read in college for coursework…
it’s just all weird flexes all the way down sometimes with some people.
Cannot stand this shit. I have two younger sisters, and my extended family loves to go on and on about how they’re bad at math, or how they were not good at math in school because it’s hard. Okay, but you don’t have to seed it into their very impressionable minds that math is hard, because it really shouldn’t be.
In my experience that’s not at all a brag in Europe, quite the contrary.
How many hours they work.
Life is a game. Scored like golf. The number is “hours labouring”.
“I worked 120 hours this week, buttercup”
Wow. I can’t believe you volunteered what a giant fucking idiot you are.
If you gotta work 120 hours to survive, I feel sympathy. If you’re flexing? Jeeze
Especially when they believe in the whole “hard work means I get promoted and it pays off”.
No, it just means you’ve cemented yourself into being a good doggy for the company who is going to heavily rely on you until you quit or die on the job.
Made me think of a documentary I saw, on some Americans working in Norway, where an American guy was asked what the biggest difference was between Americans and Norwegians, and he proudly proclaimed “Norwegians work to live, Americans live to work”.
My company was absorbed by a US company, and it’s pretty accurate.
And, I think they think it must mean that this dedication makes them good at working.
But they fucking aren’t. I constantly have to remind my coworkers that they’re not paid by the hour. Work hard, work smart, we can finish up and call it a day. Nope. I swear to god these people are actively contriving ways to ensure we work so badly that it necessitates working late. Which we do not get paid for.
Then they flex about thier work culture, thier long hours. You fools did this to yourselves, voluntarily, for literally no benefit.
yeah people in my city are insufferable about this shit.
i work 35-40 hour weeks. i like that. but people flip out at me and tell me how ‘lazy’ I am for that, and then go on and on about how they ‘work harder’ than me, even though they are making the same money per hour if you do some basic napkin math, or often less than I do, given i have better benefits than they do and you adjust for those as income.
but hey, what do i know, i’m just a unambitious ‘loser’ who works 35 hours a week for six figures, meanwhile they work 60-80 per week for an extra 25K a year…
The epic thing is supposed to be a flex? I thought it was about it sucking so much that not even free games can retain people.
This is where I’m at. I refuse to give Epic a cent due to their anticompetitive practices and trash store/library UX (why the fuck does the android app not even have a library view‽ You have to just know what you’ve purchased and find it in the store), but I’ll claim their giveaways all day long. AFAIK, they use those download numbers to budget for future giveaways, so this artificially inflates those numbers. If I’m interested, I’ll treat the free game as a demo and then buy the game on Steam if I like it.
I don’t think that makes me better than anyone, it’s just my way of getting back at Epic for their bullshit.
When their store application was new, it was caught doing spyware-like actions scanning through users’ computers without consent or notice. Their “Free” games might come with another price you don’t see. I wouldn’t install it.
That’s why you claim the games then use an alternate launcher if you can
Yea I don’t think it is a flex. I have a lot of free games on epic and granted I have no intent of playing most of them, but some I do play. And it is absolutely worth getting all that shit for the few great games I got to play for free through that.
I don’t flex that on people, because it’s nothing some other person couldn’t have done as well if they spent the time, but it’s still nice to have.
@TheFriendlyDickhead @markz it’s the magic of the number! number goes up!
I don’t see it as a flex I do redeem them and try out games with heroic as I know the devs still get paid by epic when you redeem them. If I like the game. I most of the time buy on gog or steam for the convenience.
‘I have an iPhone’
Or conversely: ‘I don’t have an iPhone’
Nobody cares what brand of rectangle you use.
@MutantTailThing @Soulifix like, yes, but every time I saw someone use a Windows Phone I felt very judgemental
We don’t speak of the afflicted ones.
you don’t, but they do.
i have an iphone and an android. it freaks most people out because you have to be ONE OR THE OTHER.
freaks them out even more when I tell them I’m bisexual.
I get your point but in my experience android works well with other android. Apple works well with other apple. Mixing them and everything seems barely useable. Like using a android phone to control an Apple TV.
Reminds me of the console wars, when one kid would tout the power of their console, while the other would tout how it had better games.
people still do that everyday here on fedi. it’s just steam/playstation/nintendo now.]
everyday here you can find multiple threads of posters console war posturing over who has the better/cheaper games, who is a shitty company, who is the best ‘value’ for money, etc.
and everyone just bias-confirms and says anyone who doesn’t own the same console as them is stupid and dumb and wrong.

Rich people. That’s it. That’s everything. If anything, I view excessive wealth as a form of mental illness.
Number of followers on social media has got to be one of the cringiest.
I’ll add to that - how many friends they have (who won’t bother to talk to or engage with you), how many views, how many likes .etc
when I have their food, I have two followers: my cats
Which makes Kim Kardashian important. She does less than a floor lamp.
How people have grown up and lived their entire lives in a small town. Aka proudly only being in one area of our very large world, and it shows with their views how narrow minded people can be.
< 50% of Americans have a passport. Even fewer have actually used it to travel outside of the country.
Not saying you have to take a lavish European getaway, but maybe instead of going to Disney World for the third time, go to minimum Canada or something and experience something different.
Your false assumption is they have the choice of not doing that.
I grew up in such a place. Very few people made it out, physically or culturally. They are like black holes, and honestly, a lot of people who try to get out, get punished, harassed, and bullied into going back to those places.
I got out of my small town, but even to this day, 30 years after I have gone, people still use that fact about my life to harass me, bully me, and dismiss me as a terrible person who they should not have any respect for because they grew up in a sophisticated urban/liberal area. It’s INSANE. I have had dozens of people in my life scream insults, tell me I should have just died/been born, and how I ‘stole’ my education/job from someone MORE DESERVING than myself. To this day people find out where I grew up and they just totally refuse to socialize with me anymore because of their incredibly hostility/bias towards those of us who grew up in small conservative minded towns.
I think you might have a bias in there as well then, because I got out of my small town, and I agree that very few make it out physically or culturally, and they are like black holes.
However I was never punished, or harassed. I had people make fun of me, question me, give me weird faces as to why I would want to leave, but never anything extreme like you’re saying. I think you may represent the other extreme side.
Yeah, I do. I went to Harvard. There is a intense hatred of working-class small town people in places like that and the social class that dominates it.
The ‘liberal/worldly’ perspective is it’s own intensely insular and smug/superior bias that sees anyone who can’t afford to go on international vacations as inherently inferior and stupid to those who do.
My beef with rural people has nothing to do with them being poor, and everything to do with their ongoing fascist temper tantrum.
I think rural culture should be generally marginalized and mocked until it stops doing fascism. Pretty simple tbh.
right, so fuck them you know better than them.
yeah, and you wonder why they voted for Trump as an F you to people like you… lol
I wonder how you would feel if someone told you they know better to than you, and you should fuck yourself and vote how they think… i bet you’d tell them to f off.
I think the problem is that you went to Harvard. I get what you’re saying, but the non-elite don’t really care. We can’t afford international vacations and yacht clubs either. Don’t get me wrong, liberalism is its own disease, but you met it on a whole other level.
that’s the level that dominates our government, our corporations, our media.
they are telling everyone else what to think, and to think like they do.
This. So much this.
I happen to have a job that takes me to all corners of the world. And my coworkers are the same. But the amount of them who have spouses that barely see anything else in the world is baffling.
And I grew up on a dairy farm in rural scandinavia (“town” would be an exaggeration), and as much as I like having that as a background, I think I made the right choice when I started exploring the world just because I could. Of all the xenophobic shitheads I’ve met, what they’ve all had in common is that they barely move.
It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.
I think that initial fear keeps many people from trying, but once you try it you want to see more. I’ve only scratched the surface with a few countries, and already it’s just amazing how other people live. I think it’s stunning how people can assume that the way they were born inn that town and with those morals are the “right” way to live. If I was born in the exact same family but 5000 miles away, I would have been completely different, and who knows what “right” would have been.
I’ve gone to interesting places for work. Also, Brussels.
Anyway, many of my coworkers just want to have food they’re familiar with and go as a group to do touristy stuff on the weekends … I like to get down in there on my own, and chat with locals, wander the parts where tourists don’t go, and eat different foods that I can’t get at home, party, and be someone else’s interesting story in return.
I really don’t understand the lack of curiosity over this sort of thing, or not having a desire to connect with people.
A counter point to the passport thing is the size of the us. You can travel the same distance as Spain to Finland to Ukraine without a passport. Go to la, ny, boston, Dallas, Miami and Seattle and tell me they have the same culture.
As someone else already tried that argument, I’ll say the same thing. We do have the same culture. Sure there are minor differences, but we all celebrate thanksgiving, christmas, there’s always a Target nearby and there’s always an auto mile. It’s all the same. Nowhere in the US, except I would consider Hawaii as a maybe, do you actually experience fully a different culture, to be in complete culture shock, where things you know as concrete and rigid are thrown out the window.
The difference between Finland and Spain is greater than the difference between Seattle and Miami.
Anyway, a passport is not required in either case.
I mean within America we have a huge diversity of locations/cultures/biomes/travel destinations.
So we don’t NEED to leave America to see different things. I’ve visited Hawaii, Washington, New York, Florida, California, and several others. From fishing, to seeing the redwoods, to a swamp tour, to the beaches of Hawaii.
I would like to see Europe but that’s expensive.
All of them (save Hawaii in my experience, and I’ve been to each of those locations except Florida) have the same culture though. Americanized culture. You don’t go only to see things, but to experience how other people live. Experiencing their way of life, their daily patterns and ways of doing things. Hawaii you get barely a taste of that, but you don’t see it until you actually get out. Canada even has a slightly different culture and worth seeing, and then it only grows from there.
As for cost I chose my wording based on Disney World for a reason. A week’s trip to Disney World is wildly more expensive than going abroad. My (mid-sized American city) plane ticket to London was $800 for the round trip. Hotels about 150 a day. Food was cheaper than eating fast food here in the states. It takes less than you’d think, especially if you’re doing it your own way.
And if any younger people are reading, you can get a hostel for 20-50 per night. My daughter started working at mcdonalds at 16 and saved up to spend 6 weeks in Europe right after she graduated high school (2024). She bought the plane ticket a year in advance but once she was there she probably only spent $2500.
As we get older we need a nicer hotel, a pet walker/housesitter, time off work, money to pay bills ahead of time, etc. I wish I knew that was possible when I was young.
I mean sure to an extent. But there are still different cultures. Going shopping in a filipeno grocery store and having to duck every 6 steps so I don’t hit my head on anything. Eating authentic Filipino food. I think that is just as culturally different than eating gator in the swamps and tasting soul food.
That being said, I don’t REALLY care about cultures. How the live their lives, daily patterns, and way of doing things don’t matter to me. Just not interested but camping, seeing nature, and just being out and about that is a lot of fun. I can do all that without leaving the US.
You would be my prime example of someone then who should, because I also thought I didn’t care until I was fully immersed. And no, going to a grocery store is not immersing yourself.
Lol it was an example, I actually stayed with the family for a week. They are the family of my best friend and I was invited to go to one of the family members Debut. As a rather tall person going shopping with Grandma was a treat and stood out for many reasons.
Only one of my trips outside the US was “lavish” and it really wasn’t. It was an all-inclusive week trip in Jamaica, in the middle of hurricane season to save money. It was very affordable. Totally great trip, though!
Other than that I walked across the border into Mexico for lunch (this was before a passport was needed), and went on a week-long camping trip, 2 days of which was in Canada.
My passport is lapsed now though because I can’t leave for more than 2 days without arranging to have someone take care of things for me, which I can’t really afford to do, so why bother.
Yawn, everything is about America. How many people in North Korea have passports eh? ;)
I live in America, so naturally my experiences with this are going to be American. I’m sure if I lived in another country it would be focused around that one.
Fun fact, Japan has the lowest percentage of passport holders among the first world countries, hovering around 17%.
Fun fact, India has 5-10% and China has 10-15%
Also fun fact, Norway and Sweden have nearly 90% which is just crazy high.
100% passport rate but nobody ever wants to leave Best Korea (according to a DPRK spokesperson).
Bragging that you’ve taken more cognitive tests than the previous presidents.
he really is a turd. damn.
How much then can drink or how wasted they’ve gotten over the weekend. Luckily nobody has done that around me since university, but that was pretty annoying.
Just as well as those who say how many blunts and bags of weed they’ve gone through. Yeah good to know you’re shitting on your health and risking on getting yourself and others in trouble over your antics while under either influence.
Just got my Steam controller, and it’s amazing how many friends I have who are just like: “Ew, I never use a controller. I played <insert some game that would be better with a controller here> with a mouse and keyboard”
I play most games with mouse and keyboard. But there are games that just play better with controllers especially casual ones. Also good luck couch gaming with keyboards and mice. :)
Pfft, Wireless key and mouse on a tray (definitely comfortable to do) ;)
- I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody
I don’t think I need to say anymore.
I was seriously hoping he’d do that, just to see what happen and how far he’d get away with it. But then again, he doesn’t have to, when he’s allowed 350k people die to a mismanaged pandemic and 75-ish million idiots voted for him again to be back in office. So I digress.
You were literally proudly proclaiming how you would never care about any non-American life ever again to the point that when you reported me for calling you fascist, Jordan fucking Lund replied with ‘If the jackboot fits’.
I literally have you tagged as a Nazi because of this interaction.
You don’t hate fascism, you just don’t like being the marginalized party in fascism.
They run Jellyfin and not Plex.
Heh, hi from [email protected]
Hah, I run neither!
Boom - told 'em!
The next thing you’re going to tell us is that people don’t love to hear about how you run Arch. I don’t believe it! :D
hosting your own media server is just so weird. I have never understood the appeal, but every IT person seems to want to brag to you they have ripped 2000 DVDs of shitty movies they will never watch.
People have different hobbies than you? I’ve never heard such a thing. Truly weird!
We’re not talking about hobbies, we’re talking about weird flexes.
Clearly home media servers are a flex for you? I have lots of hobbies, but I don’t like interject/brag to random people in conversation how I have several custom-built boutique brand mountain bikes that I built myself. That would be a weird flex and make me a douche. So I never really talk about that unless someone specifically asks me where/how I got my bike.
I just say I like to mountain bike. I also like movies, but I just watch them on streaming services or go to the library, because very few movies I will ever watch more than once, so owning them is kinda pointless for me.
and futher, I work in IT, and it’s like every third person I meet in IT who brags about their Plex server, as if it’s some great achievement… rather than just a time sink.
I think you missed the point entirely. Yes, the thread is about weird flexes. Just yesterday there was a discussion in [email protected] about Plex, and a lot of people who run Jellyfin were saying running Plex isn’t selfhosting. A weird (to me) anti-Plex flex.
OP asked for weird flexes. Weird flex in reply.
So when you replied:
hosting your own media server is just so weird
You seem to be disparaging the hobby of selfhosted media servers. That’s why I responded as I did. I never said that I participate in that hobby at all, so I’m not sure why you think I’m the one doing the flexing here.
I guess what you may be saying is that you don’t recognize “running a media server” as a hobby at all, but some kind of weird flex within the space of “I like movies.” I can see your point that in a conversation about “I like movies,” jumping in with “I run my own media server, akshully” could come off very negatively. I agree. There are a lot of self-congratulatory dingbats in that space. But that’s not what happened here.
Open-ended question looking for weird flexes people have heard. Weird flex was provided.
Have a nice day.
this entire reply is you being this person. that’s what you don’t understand.
it’s ok, lots and lots of weirdos on lemmy do this shit all the time. they love to lecture strangers on the internet about how stupid and dumb and wrong they are, and take your comments about other people generally as personal attacks on themselves. and then feel a compulsion to defend themselves and their choices and then turn it into a pissing contenst where they implicity seem to want you to admit ‘fault’ for ‘upsetting’ them or your admit your ‘ignorance’ and their ‘genius’.
steam, linux, plex, politics, etc. topic doesn’t matter, attitude and the strucutre/stlye of the replies is always the same and totally interchangable. they will always use ‘true scotsman’ style argumentation, or accuse you of stawmanning, or some other ‘logic’ flex they think makes them ‘smart’ and you ‘stupid’.
I know I’m weird, but I generally don’t get upset or personally insulted other folks don’t share in my hobbies or beliefs or whatever. And I’m fascinated by how hostile the often are to me I share them in a top level comment, or say often a contrasting scenario/example that disagrees with their oversimplified premise. then they tell me i’m generalizing and that’s bad or something, but when they do it, it’s good, or something.
The appeal js not paying for streaming services. Sailing the high seas means you don’t have to do any ripping yourself.
