I read that quote as absolutely saying it is (or maybe always has been bad) but we don't have to let it.

I don't have any particular love for bill gates - maybe he's the devil incarnate, idk - I am just reading the quote for what it says.

Thread tax: "accountability" as a deflection.

Work related- the phrase, "A gentle reminder,"

It's so soulless. Stop LARPing as some maternal figure and just say, "A reminder,"

My boss uses this, but it's always in all-staff emails for something that the same three dipshits do so I think that maybe she should just go talk to them personally and give them a not-so-gentle reminder.
 
"If (insert x character) makes you feel anything, that means (insert actress) did a good job".

A softer, gayer version of the "wrestling isnt real"
 
"X before GTA 6" jokes. It was never clever, it was never funny, and now it's so overused that you can find it in the comments of every single youtube video. Especially when the comment is paired with a video that wasn't impressive to begin with.

"This wasn't on my 20XX Bingo card!" Faggots who are easily astonished. It's a lowbrow cookie-cutter comment; anyone can make it, and apply it to anything mundane to try and sound 'funny'

The comment section used to be creative and funny, However now it's the same few jokes repeated over and over with stupid crying face zoomer/nigger emojis.

The new wave of emoji's as a whole has ruined the Internet. I don't mind stuff like :] :[ etc. But specifically the bright yellow emojis used to represent anything slightly humorous. It's as if it's a visual laugh track played to your own comment. Like an audience needs help to be cued to determine whether your comment is funny or not. It doesn't make your comment more outrageous/hilarious, if anything it devalues the humor.

I don’t say “gentle reminder” because that’s gay, but I do say “friendly reminder” at work when I’m pestering someone for something I need and don’t want to come off like a dickhead even though I’ve already asked them multiple times just send me the fucking thing. I’m far more polite at work than in my personal life for obvious reasons. I also interact with a lot of women at work and they tend to be more sensitive to tone.

I want you to try this one time: write your friendly reminder just like you always do and then right before you hit send, delete "friendly".

See what happens.
 
LARP has swiftly become this. I swear this is the fastest a word got overused and then lost its meaning, like it seems to have taken a fucking week to happen. Now anyone that fakes anything or lies is a LARPer.

I miss when LARP meant dudes dressing up as fantasy class characters and acting out their rpg fantasies.
 
I despise when people preface their statements with "I mean" when they are not clarifying their meaning. It's an obvious attempt to show deference, to blunt the impact of whatever it is that they're going to say. It makes you look like a spineless faggot. Either stand by what you say or don't fucking say it at all.

It may have been said before, but "died by suicide" is mine for the day.

This morning, I saw some headline on the default portal page that said, "(Public figure) kills wife, dies by suicide," because even the mainstream media refuses to say, "kills wife and himself" or "kills wife and commits suicide."

I'm not surprised, but TFW using cute, sanitized language sounds much worse than then blunt original language ever did.

I've heard that this is because "commit" suicide implies that one has "committed" a sin, which is problematic or something. Same vibes as using "BCE" over "BC".
 
Grift/Grifter: This has been overused to the point that no one can apparently make a good faith effort at commenting on issues without being called a grifter. Even more annoying is the argument some people make that unless a conservative was publicly commenting on the issues before Trump's first election, they're just grifting.

"birthing person"
"people with vaginas"
"people with uteruses"
"chestfeeding"
et cetera

There is only one "person" who can give birth. A WOMAN. There are women, and then there are mentally ill women, Still women. They're out here screeching about 1984 when they're the ones implementing it.

I've heard "period having people" once
