That’s why they scream until they die. They held it in all that time.

Lmao Tone is hard to read, I wasn’t upset so if I came across that way my apologies, I was just adding more info in response to points you had raised.

I would assume if they meant it as some kind of a dig, they wouldn’t accept the invitations to hammock with us. Their tone was friendly, it’s just not a term I’ve heard and given the different comments so far, it seems to be a mixed bag as to whether other people would consider it an insult or a compliment.

Really though given the context, I’m going to take it as a compliment even if it was meant as an insult.

I have no job currently, my clothes are mostly 5+ years old with most of my stuff being around 10 years old from my last retail job when I got them discounted and on clearance, my car rolled off the line before I was conceived and has the damage that says it lives in deer country, and my food comes from wherever is cheapest.

And they all know these things since we talk about such things at meets along with basically every other topic. pretty much everyone is in the same boat, and with only one exception we all live with roommates and parents.

If you’re thinking of a 2010 hipster with a man-bun and Abercrombie clothes driving their Leaf from the iPhone store to the fancy food market where everything is 5x the price because someone put the word “organic” in front of “tomato”… I mean, imagine me however you wish, but we are definitely more the type to live in a log cabin we built ourselves away from any kind of technology. I like what gadgets I do have, but I’d trade them for “not living in capitalism hell” any day.

Lmao “upper”

I have no job currently and can’t afford more than basics for food, but thanks for making assumptions.

A bit more of a relatable explanation than UD gave me, and honestly I doubt it was meant negatively as most of the people in this group are very left leaning and while a few aren’t quite “paint a brick rainbow and smash a cop’s window” levels yet, they’re certainly closer than anyone else in my life. We have discussed camping so several at least enjoy outdoorsy stuff.

I like my gadgets if I could live in the woods with 15 other people and grow out own food and not have to worry about dying of gangrene I’d give all my things up in a heartbeat.

By this metric, I’ll be “crunchy” over “silky” any day of the week.

Oh man, urban dictionary is still going? I haven’t seen them in forever…

If that’s how they meant it… I mean, it’s pretty spot on.

I’ll take it as a compliment, then!

I personally believe it is on purpose, to try and get you to download the app.

Then they can get way more of your data to sell.

Same.

Every time I visited him, even if it was the third time that week, he would break out a small flashlight he replaced the incandescent bulb with a (very dim) led, tell me about how LEDs work, and demonstrate the fact that it won’t work in reverse…

I still have the flashlight.

I was just about to say “the blessing of being a full grown adult that loves finding Nemo”…

I always wanted to hear that joke the right way…

It’s important that those 100x are to different people.

Your coworker sound like my grandpa.

“Our Glorious Agricultural Fields” vs “Their Barbaric Farming Practices”

a few minutes earlier

“hmm, I’m bored. Oh look here’s some people enjoying a small laugh. Imma shit on the fun. How DARE they enjoy a joke I personally don’t like. The FOOLS! THE ABSOLUTE MORONS! I simply MUST tell people their frivolity is absurd.”

You can just buy keys.

I actually have a few that I keep in my protest bag.

I also have a couple pairs of cuffs.

We made it constitutionally protected via the 13th Ammendment. It’s bullshit, and one of the many reasons, IMO, why minorities (especially black people) are still disproportionately targeted by law enforcement.

And China is enslaving people currently.

I mean, the post is about the UK and we’re bringing up other countries for no reason, right?

My gender-non-specific human, why do you insist on calling every single person here shitty for calling out BS reddit tactics?

Are you in love with their CEO or something? It’s a little weird.

I got banned from about 15 subreddits I never even knew existed once by calling out a transphobic dogwhistle, and when I inquired about the bans, the mods insinuated I was a child molester and neo-nazi.

Reddit mods don’t need to follow any sort of logic.

And confidently asserting someone is a dick because they got banned from a subreddit is hilarious, and should probably prompt some self-reflection.

That’s what I’ve always heard, and though I can’t think of where I vaguely remember seeing an interview/BTS style video where he said they had to make some assumptions based only on the trailer, the poster, and things Lucas had said himself.

Spot on though, you’d think it was made after the prequels came out.

But I don’t want to date a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Oh wait, that’s a different kind…

My sister and I would make people around us uncomfortable with our “fighting” but the second someone tries to butt in and take one side, we both would jump down their throats that they have no right to talk shit about the other sibling. And Your Deity help you if you actually raise a hand against one sibling, because you might catch a baseball bat in the neck from the other.

It’s like my mother. I am allowed to call my mom an asshole for certain things, but the second someone else does it, that’s not cool.
