mf cant write for shit. I almost had an aneurysm reading that

That just means that your brain is weak. This is hardly the worst English I've seen today alone. Not to mention the abbreviation of mf that you used.

So do we like the mansplaining or information dumps? I'm on team information dump.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

My current META for this is just saying "Do you know about ?" wait for their response and if they know we're done! If they say "No" I then ask "Do ya wanna hear about it? Approx listening time minutes!" and respect their answer.

It's about etiquette and giving them a choice. You have to be prepared for them to say "no" to hearing about that thing you'd like to info dump about. It's not that dissimilar to getting consent if you think about it, it's rude to just start shoving your information into their brainhole, so to speak lol

I kinda like the way you say stuff.

I mean it's polite to ask what she knows about it first. I mean mansplaining is rude, but it's also just kind of annoying to have to explain things to people who already know it. Much better to have a conversation and skip that part so you can just get to talking on a level playing field.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Well the issue with that is how I'll encounter someone who tells me they already know all about it and then they go acting like they know absolutely nothing.

Just found it easier to not talk to anyone, IRL, who I can't trust to not assume the worst things about me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I've determined that it's totally and completely excellent when they assume the worst. Bullet dodge me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

How do you figure? Pretty much all we do is gossip, backstab, and tattle on each other.

25% of Lemmy users are incapable of understanding this meme without the inclusion of a comma, and they seem to think this reflects more on the intelligence of the meme's author, rather than their own inadequacies as a reader. They take this opportunity to effusively mansplain the importance of proper punctuation to her, and... Wait a minute... She's a genius!

Until you're approached by a guy who's suspiciously obsessed with the Wehrmacht.

Hey it is just a hobby man, I don't know why people care so much about me being a collector.

  • Look confused in WW2 section

  • Get hit on by a bunch of Wehraboos

Damnit.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Either Wehraboos or Non-Credible Defense posters

Her odds are good, but the goods are odd.

Jesus christ, use a comma.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Oh, now it makes sense. Was really trying to figure out what the word salad meant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It would still be incorrect, but it would be easier to parse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that counts as mansplaning
