Just a side note, who the fuck uses normie outside of 4chan? Leave that shit over there
Normie is incredibly common online in general. It’s not just relegated to weird right wing sites either.
I’m in my mid 30s and even I gotta say… you sound a bit like “old man yells at cloud” with this take. Just chill out a little bit. You’re making the rest of us approaching-middle-agers look bad.
And if you’re somehow younger than me then I gotta say… actually, keep it up. Your apparent lack of being terminally-online (oh no, I used a recently coined term…) is definitely healthier than whatever the fuck the rest of us are doing.
I would love to give off “old man yelling at clouds” energy. If I had a lawn, I’d yell at people to stay off it, but sometimes very quietly so I can eavesdrop on their drama.
I don’t see normie used online often, and OP was clear it was meant to be mildly insulting, along the lines of basic:
Is it yelling at clouds to remind people to be nicer to each other?
I let people play on my lawn just to bring balance to the universe. Unless they don't clean up their dog's shit. Then old man mode erupts.
You guys are three levels deep debating whether or not a slang word is acceptable to use to use. I'm afraid none of you qualify, if anything you are the total opposite side of the spectrum from yelling old man.
I'm going to need more being offensive and talking about how things use to be much better. Something like this:
oh my god you're right. I need to go find my grouchy pants (they sit somewhere just below my chin) and get on that...
Oh, what's a better word to describe someone who is super mainstream and only likes something if other people like it or they were told to like it?
I really don't see what the problem is, the other commenter is overreacting
Yea, I was just trying to vent my frustrations and joke around while I look at this Galaxy Z Flip for the 9th time. Tough crowd, I don't even use 4chan. Maybe I should stick with iOS, at least my iPhone cult friends have chill rofl (unless you are talking about leaving iOS).
Average? Normal?
That isn’t a very useful way to categorize people, almost everyone is very much normal including yourself.
Wanting a different phone isn’t an expression of individuality, it’s just a phone. If you wanna be real quirky and novel, don’t use one at all (YMMV)
You're like the Patrick Bateman of cellphones.
