Why ARE WE randomly capitalizing CERTAIN WORDS for no APPARENT reason?

[-] UsernameHere@lemmy.world 114 points 2 days ago

YOU’RE absolutely correct, ENJOY.

[-] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 2 days ago

BECAUSE if we leave too much SPACE between capitalized KEYWORDS they blend TOGETHER, we get BORED and stop reading the SENTENCE

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

Why does this read like a Trump campaign email/text

I really want to know who entered my info into their system so I can bludgeon them with a rusty chain, there is no opting out lol

They even capitalised the NUMBERS

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 13 points 2 days ago

It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

That's probably not a bad approach in general, but sometimes shit matters.

Well, he is an actor...

Now you have an engineer do that. Boeing?

Engineer: "If speed == slow, do nose down"

QA engineer: "But what if the not redundant sensor if faulty?"

Engineer: "Good is good enough, I have more to do and deadlines to catch"

QA engineer: "You're absolutely correct, ENJOY!"

[-] Senal@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

Your missing the part in the middle where you spend 6 months telling them in no uncertain terms that the thing they are asking is stupid and will not work properly/safely.

Various back and forth emails, a completely "justified" performance review program because of your "falling standards" and several meetings with various managers at different levels of "importance".

Also the "You're absolutely correct, ENJOY" is written at the bottom of your resignation letter or told to them directly in your "redundancy" exit interview.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 107 points 2 days ago

Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.

[-] abrinael@lemmy.world 75 points 2 days ago

I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).

[-] grue@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

That's when it's time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 22 points 2 days ago

Thats our national issue, democrats care far less about the fascist vomit of the right than they do being polite, "understanding," and "reaching across the aisle."

J6ers tried to overtake the govt, hang em for treason. If their backers violently rise up, take em out too. Problem solved. Instead, dems make excuses for Republicans every day, say they can't do anything about anything, then push a bunch of policies to further snuff out the left instead.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

Democratic politicians feel this way because they are mostly friends with their colleagues across the aisle. They all eat at the same luncheons together, hang out at the same establishments in DC, attend the same fundraisers and lobbying events.

I think the voters tend to have a different point of view from those in DC. Consider that even Republican lawmakers were running for their life on Jan6. Dem voters are growing fatigued with the constant gaslighting from the establishment politicians, and hopefully soon might provide cause for their “elected representatives” to flee as well. At this point we’ve been left with painfully few alternatives.

Lastly just want to say I do agree with full treason charges for anyone involved with Jan6. Obstruction was a laughable wrist slap, this is far too serious for such measures. The rioters kind of had the right idea but for literally all of the wrong reasons. It’s tea party republicans all over again (which was funded by Koch bros of course). Instead of addressing this in a serious manner, Dems considered doing nothing at all for 2 years before they finally started bringing the wrong charges. Pathetic.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

They reach across the aisle because they basically never have control of Congress. Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything. When they don't have all 3, they have to reach across the aisle to pass anything. So guess how long they've had all 3? They've had it for 4 years of the last 24 years.

And if they didn't reach across, guess what happens. The GOP shuts down the government like they did to Obama.

So what can you do move things left? Give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories in all 3 houses.

The correct response in that situation is a warm fist to the face, not a debate

[-] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 2 days ago

How do you know? Its not like we are living in this situation right now

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You know what, you're absolutely correct. Enjoy!

[-] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 67 points 2 days ago

In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.

[-] exanime@lemmy.today 22 points 2 days ago

True, but I don't think Keanu here is giving career advancement advice

[-] redisdead@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they're quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.

You only need to have evidence of how it wasn't ur fault, easy as that.

[-] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

Pff, past jobs I've been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

Only the stupidity that affects your work directly.

[-] LittleBorat2@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 days ago

More things are a boomerang than you think.

Are arguments really that bad? I think this is a rather cynical point of view. I don't want to reach this stage.

[-] SinJab0n@mujico.org 5 points 1 day ago

When the usual response to lets say... climate change, is nothing more than shouting how u r a commie (which yes, i am one), spreading goverment lies, and how the vaccines r gonna give their child autism....

I just don't waste my energy in something so futile, its their religion. And a confrontation about BELIEFS (at least for them) is gonna end up no where.

So yeah, its just understanding how sometimes its better to only see them with disgust and walk away.

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

wow that's bleak. Very few people around me share my political beliefs, but they certainly don't disgust me. One of my colleagues beliefs every conspiracy in the book, she's at the total other end of the spectrum when it comes to most arguments, but I've also noticed that she is the sweetest nurse I know, treating patients with empathy and compassion. Rather than coming to the point where you avoid arguments, I think people should develop the ability to have differences of opinion without being revolted by the other. An opinion doesn't define who or what someone is in the slightest.

[-] SinJab0n@mujico.org 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Maybe u r right, im gonna try to be friends next time i see a white supremacist, its not like that kind of ideologies can and already have taken lives.

Edit to add pizzagate since theres dead pleople thx to that stupidity, and antivaxxers in general since not only they kill themselfs, but also anyone around them, especially their kids, etc, etc, etc. Even those Th3 EaRtH 1S fiAt DuD3 have been killing themselfs.

[-] Soulcreator@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Friendly debates can be a healthy thing. Angry, heated, bitter arguments? Yeah, I'd argue they aren't too great for your mental health.

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

That's true, but if you're letting it get to angry heated bitter arguments, that's at least partly your fault. With an open mind and a friendly attitude you can mostly avoid those.

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 days ago

This may explain why everyone likes him

Sometimes I just agree with people so they can stop talking.

But 1+1 is 5. I'm sick and tried of people pretending 1+1=1. The sum is always bigger than each of their addends. How do people not get that
