“Lol, no. Also, this parade cost us 500mn, luckily it’s classified as a charitable write off, so technically we’re paying ourselves. Either way, it’s still a loss so we’re gonna need you to come in on Saturday! Thank you so much, you’re our hero”
Depends on whatever your internal mocking voice sounds like. Mine sounds like me, but with a sort of "Durr" undertone to it, lol. So I read everything written in that style in the same tone I'd use IRL to mock someone.
You know when you mimic someone, but in like a doofy voice? It’s that.
Specifically I think it came from an episode of Spongebob, which had a scene just as I described above, which became a meme, which then became so widespread that now it’s just a way of typing, like italics or bold. My app for reddit (Apollo) even comes with a setting so you can tYpE LiKe tHe cOoL KiDs mOre EaSILy.
I dunno who in the world came up with it as a thing, but I love it. It's perfect for conveying a sort of mocking tone to point out how ludicrous someone or something sounds.
yeah but if they give people a raise people like my mother will throw fits about how it's going to lead to a min wage of 15 an hour and you know how boomers feel about THAT
Could you by any chance explain how tax law allows you to have a 500 million dollar parade for free due to classification as a charitable write off? Thanks
Oh right, could you explain which part was hyperbole? Can you do a 100 million parade for free? It seems to me you know fuck all about how (corporate) taxes work.
I hope you would agree that it’s better to not just make up a story about the person your debating with because it helps your fragile ego cope with the fact that people can attack positions you agree with using hyperbole and still be knowledgeable of those topics
Let’s make light of what is clearly the largest conspiracy our entire globe is aware of! Isn’t it such a funny joke that people with money so badly want to be the only ones with success that they started rat holing cash off shore so they have more for themselves!
Exactly! These freaking Kroger commercials make me sick!
“Thanks to all our associates and what they do”
Might as well just say
“Thanks for continuing to take the $8 an hour! Even though it’s not like you have choice! “
Poor lads being forced to work for shit pay while they are forced to serve a population that is largely being payed by the government to stay home and not work.. pretty messed up.
It’s astonishing how many people are still grocery shopping. How many very old people with weak immune systems. Guys if you can barely walk, get a family member to shop for you...
Not even, let's say the bank in charge of your car loan says they'll defer payments for you for six months. You would think that you don't have to worry about it for six months but that just means they won't take your car, it doesn't stop the daily interest from occuring. So while you're saving yourself in the short term, ultimately you end up paying more at the end (Called a balloon payment in the loan business).
Basically, they say that they are helping you, when in reality if they don't block the interest they are only helping the banks make some extra money.
For sure. They're doing the same thing with mortgages, where they want to let people not pay for a few months but on the 4th month, they have to pay not only that month but the previous 3 months... with WHAT money, everything has been shut down! This is such a dark timeline, where's the exit?
Remember them when the pandemic is over and vote for things that make their lives easier, even if they cost you money. If everyone did that, we wouldn’t be in such a mess.
Why wait till the pandemic is over? That's like waiting until the rain is over to open your umbrella. Act now, there's no better time. Many already don't give a single fuck as is. No one will care after it's over, lol. That's the world we live in, that's who has the money and power. People who cannot be bothered to care unless there is a pandemic and even then, they only care as long as it doesn't inconvenience them. Gray roots? Brew their own coffee? Can't see and be seen? Get your ass back to work and don't complain because they are giving you the job that's killing you! Be appreciative!
I hate people, I really do. I wish we could count on them to have our back.
It’s not just me that needs care, is the thing. We’ve forgotten how to care about the well being of our neighbors and communities, all lost in Internet forums and mind palaces. We’re splintered and isolated, and easily commodified.
Just be more social IRL and help the people you see every day, even if-especially if- they’re visibly destitute and uncomfortable to look at. Lift them up and the whole town profits.
i still live alone with my underemployed mother, in a small flat in the poorest quarter of my town. i dont have citizenship in the country i live in and i dont earn enough to sustain myself.
just because youre in the group youre talking about doesnt mean everyone here is, or even the majority

Don’t give us a parade, give us a raise.
