Generally true though. Society robs us of all joy on purpose. Can't have shit as a man, because that looks kind of gay.
I'm getting all the stuff society does not want me to.
What robs us of joy is caring about other people’s expectations for us. We are free when we stop worrying about what people think.
Man you can stop worrying about people but that sure won't stop them from treating you like shit
Vote with your feet.
Yep.
many people's life purpose is to treat other people they don't like shit, based on their perceived differences. and they will go out of their way to do like, harass random strangers over this shit. or just force every causal acquaintance of run this gantlet they have in their head of hatred and bias because they feel other people must 'prove' themselves to them.
What the hell are you talking about? You can't have a rug or society will call you gay?
Yes, that is why the Dude was so annoyed when he missed his rug.
It really tied his personality together.
He is the world's dumbest man.
If you have too much decorative stuff in your room, people start to suspect you.
Luckily, what people think, means jack shit to me, as you can tell by all the dislikes I'm ignoring.
You said you can't have "shit", which generally means "can't have anything".
You live some weird ass fucking fantasy world. Being called gay for having a rug is not common, at all.
There are real societal toxic masculinity thing that affect men, we don't need this ludicrous made up bullshit.
username checks out
Tough shit. I'm getting all the "gay" shinny shit, and there is nothing you can legally do about it.
I'm getting so much useless vane shit, just to spite society.
Vanes are useful though.
Like a rug?
well it really ties the room together
Ehem... there's a lot of places where they can legally do something about it... sadly. Agree on the sentiment, anyway.
Nobody cares and that was always an option.
It's funny because with two n's in that word it just turns the word "shin" into an adjective.
Is that what you're describing? A male living space full of shitty shins?
Okay now you're talking about a directional spinny thing you can put up on top of your house that tells you which way the wind is blowing. And I guess it's spewing shit or something. I dunno. You're the one who said it.
shiny adjective ˈshī-nē
: having a smooth glossy surface
: filled with light
: lustrous
vain adjective
: having or showing undue or excessive pride in one's appearance or achievements : conceited
vane noun
: a movable device attached to an elevated object (such as a spire) for showing the direction of the wind
Oh sure, flex your higher education on me.
Lemmy is social media not a spelling test lol
Social media, at it's core, is people communicating with each other. Effective communication requires using the correct words to convey the message you're trying to send.
Using poor spelling, grammar or punctuation risks people A) misunderstanding what you're trying to say, or B) thinking that you're ignorant or uneducated and that therefore your input is of no value.
seems like a dumb reason to do something, but... enjoy, I guess.
