- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

It's pretty likely they'll understand exactly what you mean, emotional manipulation tactics are timeless so they'll prolly be like "oh yeah there was this asshole my sister met who was like that, never liked him, pompous arsehole"
Back then it was called torch lighting because each day you’d light 1 fewer torches.
Yah I don't get this post at all.
Explain things that have been around as long as we've had language and probably since before?
Explaining cars might be a little more difficult, but still people have had gears and metal and basic mechanical devices for thousands of years, so both OP and the OP of the text are not firing on all cylinders if they think you wouldn't be able to relate these concepts to someone from any point in the history of society.
Furthermore, it sounds like OP of the image is snarky and pissed that someone might have accused him of narcissism, and he's trying to devalue the words used to accuse him of using these tactics and wave it all off as silly or worthless. A classic narcissist response btw.
And I read it that this was transparently the joke
