  • I can’t understand why some Lemmy users feel the need to invent new things the tankies might say or do. It reminds me of American MAGA folk: they take a perceived problem, vastly magnify it by fabricating further falsehoods, then engage in a circle jerk where they all seem to feel superior for identifying this massive problem that they largely imagined up.

    I suppose it’s a lazy way to get easy engagement, but it’s dishonest and gross. Let tankies be accountable for what they actually do, lying about them makes you just as bad.

    Edit: I didn’t notice at first, but of course it’s YeetPics, the alt of PugJesus, one of the .world tankie rabble rousers. Check their post history, they seemingly just can’t stop talking about tankies. Maybe it’s a kink?









  • Your response thread so far is

    1. “Nuh uh, you’re wrong!”
    2. “Your reading comprehension sucks!”
    3. Reiterating your previous response as you apparently can’t address my follow-up

    I was wrong previously: the only thing funnier than being lectured on reading comprehension by someone with poor reading comprehension is being corrected by someone who is adamant you’re wrong but can’t actually tell you why. Yet I’m the idiot here. 🙄

    Edit: I’m done responding to you as this is a colossal waste of my time and may be actively making me stupider, so feel free to have the last word.



  • When someone correctly says in the context of UK English “the yanks call (UK English A) (US English B)!” and they respond “no, we call (US English B) (US English B)” and proceeds to provide a US centric lecture of nomenclature, they tend to be contradicting them. On their own geographically correct usage of the word.

    Corollary example also appropriate for the US. MtF person recently transitions and word is spreading.

    Person 1: They even call Roy Martha.
    Person 2: No, I call Roy Roy.

    The only thing better than getting lectured on reading comprehension is being lectured by someone who didn’t comprehend the reading.
