When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.
Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.
This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

MODERATORS
Antifa literally means "anti-fascist." Anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII was "antifa."
And Scott Adams lost his f*cking mind years ago.
I know at least 4 (I wanna say 6 but 4 confirmed confidently) righty leaning lads who are anti trans for what they will say are varied, diverse, weighty reasons - who all collectively tell the same story word for word any and everytime trans issues come up....
"I hit it off with a girl on Tinder, then two days in before we met or got serious or even talked all that much (just enough for me to be smitten) they told me they were trans, and I'm not a bigot, BUT IF THEY DON'T PUT THAT SHIT IN THEIR BIO THEY DESERVE WHATEVER HAPPENS TO THEM"
Nobody understands when I explain that their violent response to a trans woman on tinder is why trans women don't put it in their bio.
Shocker.
Jesus. Just had a moment of empathy. I don't think I have ever had a first date with someone (yes I am a het cis male) where violence was a real possibility. The very worse I worried about was some sorta scam. Be safe everyone.
Yea it's a fkd up world, and many people are wild animals, or even worse. Im a cis male too, and the most i ever had to deal with was a girl..[or two] who beat the shit out of me. Some days I have more hope for humanity (myself included) than others yknow.
It's more dangerous to put it in your profile than saying it to someone in person?
You can swear on the internet fyi
Maybe she didn't want to though
Saying f*ck instead of fuck is just as much swearing. Potentially even more so, since you actively want to avoid word filters.
It is also kind of like saying "f*cking a**hole" isn't an insult.
I love how much effort you put into pedantry. It’s like you use the most words possible to make the least amount of point lmao
I completely agree with the commenter above. Self censoring swear words is absolutely ridiculous. Either swear or don’t - that’s your choice.
@Owlchemist Comments that insult other community members (directly or indirectly) without adding anything interesting to the conversation are not welcome here.
Are you saying, as a mod, commenters should not be ridiculous and replace vowels with asterisks if they like doing that?
I prefer not to self censor so I don't have a stake in this. Just curious so I know what to report.
No, it’s not a community rule, just a pet peeve. I honestly hate it but I think making it a rule would be too authoritarian. I don’t want to be that mod.
My reminder of the lemmy rule against insulting others was directed at Owlchemist. I’ll edit my comment to make that more clear.
I completely disagree with you both.
If you feel it’s “insulting” to find judgmental comments that add zero to the discuss except being negative to another community member pedantic, I don’t know what to tell you.
In all honestly, ya’ll’s comments are the same kind of negative as mine. Who cares how someone else chooses to write? How is bemoaning someone’s choice of spelling or self-censor “adding anything interesting to the conversation.” It certainly makes that commenter feel like shit. So who’s rule breaking here?
Why are you being such a ************ about this?
Troll
I feel I did no different than the person who I originally replied to. The popped off about how someone writes because they didn’t like it. I said that pedantic and that pointing it out accomplished nothing productive.
If it sounds like I’m being a dick, it’s because I didn’t like the person who wrote f*ck being singled out because something in their life caused them to think it’s best.
I’m trying to defend someone who just wanted to add to discussion and got dragged. So that’s why I’m defensive.
People can talk however they want. Adding an asterisk honestly adds some flavor to it. It's like, making the curse word taboo again, in a sense. It's kind of an interesting phenomenon.
Either way, "either swear or don't" (in the lots of replies here) is one of the stupidest hills to die on that I've ever seen. And there are many corpses of me on top of hills.
You need to have had something in the first place to lose it.
