I'm just saying, in life there are contexts where your disagreement is meant to be part of the discussion, like a best song thread, and then there's other contexts where criticizing what someone likes, even in a non mean spirited way, subtly depresses the fun of the situation.

When I was younger I didn't get that, my friends would talk about things they liked and I'd instinctively disagree. And at a certain age I realized I'd be better company if I didn't interrupt their enthusiasm. Because the world sucks and enthusiasm is hard to cultivate.

Do you get, though, how it doesn't improve a thread asking people what they're most excited about right now when you reply telling someone they're wrong?

Sorry I posted the wrong songs.

I've been listening to Metallica's One and ...And Justice for All repeatedly, their two best tracks.

I wouldn't even say it was bad, it just felt like a Netflix show which is some intangible quality I can't articulate that made it feel cheap and rushed.

Only 11 episodes total for 2 "seasons"? They picked the right showrunners for rushing through the end of a series. It was never going to end well when it was Netflix that got the rights.

If I had the freedom and opportunity to emigrate casually, I would. I can live with not turning my life upside down and leaving my family behind. I couldn't live with still supporting Reddit and Twitter because I can get more clout there than on Lemmy.

Likewise, not ever being in public is simply impossible so it's another worthless comparison.

You posted a lot of words, yes, but it was a Twitter-quality take.

Still being on Reddit in 2025 is a leopards eating your face situation.

That reminds me to start testing alternatives to Discord.

I waited over a year before buying a new water filter for the fridge, and then when it arrived I let it sit for another year before replacing the old one with it.

It's stupid rage bait for morons.
