You know how KF hates the "partner" thing? That's how I'm starting to feel about "fiancee" at this point.

Everybody's playing house with a temp-to-perm "fiancee" and two illegitimate kids these days...and I'm starting to think the '50s had a point about how bad that is.

"Fiancee" should only last as long as renting a venue or planning a trip to Vegas. Longer engagements do not make stronger marriages.

Keep hearing sociopath a lot when people discuss *any* negative trait anyone could have, its becoming so common that i've just taken it to mean "Everyone i dont like is a sociopath!"

Oh and its always followed by someone explaining the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath

"Astroturf" is starting to get up there for me. Most of the time it's used by people who really weren't paying attention to modern trends and chalk up their lack of exposure to astroturfing rather than them just not being exposed to it sooner. I can buy that certain trends, ideologies, and celebrities are having their popularity artificially inflated and that it's easy to do in the age of social media, but I see the term misused more often than not these days.

Basically anything that 4chan starts using and then is picked up and butchered by fucking everyone. "Seethe, malding, cope, etc." and next thing you know those words nearly lose all impact or meaning and makes the people using them look incapable of coming up with an actual retort. Those words can be put to humorously valuable use in the context of a meme (which takes effort, a turnoff for the kind of people I'm referring to), but when it gets to the point where people voice an opinion backed up with facts and they're met with "jesus, what a cope" then it's a little ridiculous.

Certainly they got more than this, like a counterargument, right? All too often the answer is either "cry more" or simply no response. If you want to disagree but don't have anything to add, then simply disagree.

[edit: spelling]

YouTube comments as a whole. They're the same on every video. The optimistic part of me wants to say it's bots, but I know it's not.

"nobody:
character in video: does something silly"

*semi-famous youtuber makes a one word comment and gets 500 replies mostly consisting of variations of "WOW, A FAMOUS PERSON"*

*top comment says something mildly interesting*
*a dozen other people say the exact same thing but slightly differently to jump on the clout bandwagon*

*someone quoting the video with a timestamp of the quote*

*some other retarded reddit meme template in textual form*

Any way too specific term for a logical fallicy, or any word for something you can use to instantly shoot down some dumb fuck Twitter argument.

'Umm actually that's a Reverse Chekov's Double-Blind Strawman'

wow this is a classic bad faith strawman of a epistemological, philosophical, gaslighting stance with a red herring that will spiral into the slippery slope of a gish gallop resulting in a motte and bailey wow this is an obvious false dilemma in which my data, statisticals and studies will clearly show a "Dunning-Kruger" effect as well as a degradation into a circular argument that will result in silly and nasty ad hominems and hasty generalizations about an appeal to ignorance

"On Blast"

There was an article I saw on my phone that said "Panera worker puts soup on blast - Says it's overpriced hospital food".
I legit thought the article was about them preparing the soup by blending it, because hospital food sometimes has to be that bland/gross for dietary reasons.

It’s a dumb saying for sure, but they’re not wrong. It is overpriced swill

I've mentioned it before, but it's insane how women appealing to straight male sexuality is demonized as "sexist" by the woke cult, and not doing so is painted as "empowering", in this endless Current Year.

Seems they really do want to reduce people to machines. Machines don't need urges or making babies.

A minor one, but the fashion for replacing any and all intensifiers with the word 'super' is really starting to grate.

'this coffee is super nice', 'the train was super late', 'the house is super well situated', 'internet shopping is super convenient'

Repeat ad nauseum
