Yeah, poor people are notoriously sober

A lot of these are filler. It’s an add for a specific product disguised as one of this endless lists, but they couldn’t stop themselves from being obvious

Are we doing ads now here? And are we, like, OK with it now?

Oh, I love competency porn! My favourite is Martian, both the book and the movie.

WhatsApp has this weird grip on my country’s people, it’s insane.

They don’t owe the requester any consideration.

That’s not true, but would be bad if it was. Communication always should be two-way considerate, otherwise we will quickly descend to hell.

Regardless it’s not unreasonable to expect you to your fucking ducks in a row before you bother people.

It’s also not unreasonable to expect that you’ll be able to quickly answer if you’re open to communication.

You’re going to have to provide the information anyway.

Or don’t if it’s time sensitive and you’re not answering. Context, nuances, remember?

Yeah, well, in which case reading five words is even less of a task, and if it’s a struggle for you go finish fifth grade.
Everyone is entitled to their own time, you’re not the center of the universe. Right now you’re way past a normal consideration, you’re demanding that everyone sacrifices all the convenience however small, so you don’t have to sacrifice any.
If you’re busy af, you can respond “busy right now, sorry”, we just discovered that typing takes no time so it’s OK. If you’re busy but not that busy, and someone asks do you have some time, you can always answer “depends, what’s the question?”, which also takes no time from you, so it’s OK once again.
That’s the whole thing about two-way communication, it’s actually as flexible as people are, which is just great if you’re one of those peoples. Personally, I chose to be maximally considerate, and I always type as much as possible so there is as little mental effort required on the other side of the conversation. But that’s because I’m a no-life shmuck, and I (maybe actually in big part because of that) doesn’t actually value my time and it’s not worth much. If I had any self-respect, I would be way more pushy about my time, and there would be times where I start conversation with “hi, can you talk right now?” instead of two paragraphs of formatted text

If you look at it from other perspective, typing the whole paragraph of details just to be ghosted can also feel disrespectful as fuck, while “Hi, can you talk right now?” is actually pretty normal.
There is no easy and universal answer, it’s all depends on context and the situation, just like anything else in human communication.

The objectively correct from a selfish perspective here, is to send “ping” and only type out the whole request if you respond. Yeah, it will make you wait, but it will save me time and mental effort at typing all that, knowing that it’s all for nothing if you will not respond in time.
The correct answer here is to do “Hi, need to talk to you about [thing], are you available right now?”, but it’s technically speaking only one step above this hateful “Hi”

You assume that everyone is replaceable and you can just message whatever to whomever.

It’s a handshake. If you’re out of the office or otherwise can’t respond, it saves them from typing the whole message, they can do it only if they know you’re responding.
It’s still offloading the inconvenience to you a bit, but at least it’s rational for them

A long time ago I visited Athens in January, it was relatively warm, but those oranges weren’t sour as they suppose to be, they were bitter, which I actually love. They are amazing at giving you this jolt of energy when you walk the mountains.

This happens in low trust societies with scarce resources and even scarcer empathy as the result. Also known as “that’s why we cant’ have nice things”. However, not only it’s absolutely not universal, I don’t believe it’s even the majority

The unified number of combined points (what is refereed as Karma) doesn’t exist on Lemmy. There is some point system comment-by-comment, but it’s not unified. You can’t farm what doesn’t exist.
A bit more than a semantics, isn’t it?

Lemmy doesn’t have karma

Imagine how insufferable Dilbert dude actually is (was! forgot about this delightful fact). You ask him to pass the salt, he goes into this long tirade in this mocking voice, about how he’s the only capable person in the room and all the stupid femoids are too woke to even get their own salt, and if you roll your eyes he will get angry and throw a tantrum.

Not only this is a very astute observation, it is an observation that puts you apart from every other person — this makes you quite possibly the smartest baby of 1996.

It’s fun as a hobby, but that requires you to have fun doing it, so yeah.

“picture of wojak face”: how dare you use my purported believes against me. Everyone knows that I can pick and chose what parts of infallible word of a literal god I believe in at any point in time, it’s actually you who’s hypocritical because you don’t share my believes therefore can’t talk about mine.

There is an enormous stigma attached to the mental struggles, so people are afraid of scolding and mockery
