Hmm yeah “how she feels” being a manipulative ultimatum

That much seemed obvious to me. The comment I replied to was seemingly mad that people stood up too quickly.

Gonna guess that didn’t go well for her?

I don’t hop-up so I can wait hunched over at my seat. It’s not hard to wait your turn.

Man I had no clue that people have a problem with this. I guess I’ve been annoying to people by hunching a couple minutes so I can get off the plane quicker? To clarify, I’m saying if I’m ready to get my bag down from the overhead compartment then I save everyone behind me like 15 seconds of their lives. I thought this would be a good thing. I definitely would appreciate it from others who don’t do it

Ps. I agree with you on checking bags. It’s a horrible experience. I’ve had my luggage lost and I’ve had to wait for an hour for it before. Fuck that.

More waiting time at the baggage claim?

You check luggage? Not everyone does. I just took a three week trip with a backpack that fits under the seat and a carry on. Waiting for luggage is so awful. What good is getting off the plane quickly? I mean how are people so okay with flying several hours then waiting minutes more just to stand. I want to be moving and stretching, to get home and shower. Last thing I wanna do is sit 10 more minutes because people are slow

Out of all the dumb shit people do on planes, we’re focusing on people standing too long? How about the assholes that rush forward to get off in front of you? How about the people who act like they’ve never flown before and take a fucking year to get off the plane? I feel like standing when it’s seen as pointless is about the least annoying thing done on a flight.

It’s unclear to me – does it have any kind of wine or proton integration?

I was about to say, that sounds just like libation! Turns out it is the same. Either “liberate” was a typo (no shade, just noticing) or they changed the name?

In any case that app is fuckin awesome. It makes short work of freeing your entire audible library of drm.

So you’ve noticed this user lurking a lot and also making lots of claims? Indeed, up === down.

No.

There’s also the phenomenon where if you say anything remotely negative online about a thing, people think you’re the most enraged person ever, even if you’re just mildly annoyed. A lot of assumptions are made on the Internet, that’s for sure.

What a disturbing way to draw humans

If you did that, then you would somehow be hurting the world though, right? Because satire and art with a message is useless trash.

Sure, but if you’re doing it online and trying to hide that you’re doing it, I’m gonna say 90% of the time or more, the intention is to irritate.

I don’t know anything about the first or last items in this list, but I don’t see anything else crazy on there. “Conspiracy theory” strictly would refer to any of your list when unproven, however if you look at the use of that term in reality, it’s far more often used to describe an apeshit theory like the us government planning 9/11 or the earth being flat. Something like those, you need to ignore several obvious basic arguments against them to even entertain them.

Edit: rereading your original comment, it sounds like we are both saying the same thing really.

Right, that’s also how I think of it

Finally, a realistic raccoon post.

I thought it was some new animal crossing meets dark souls mashup, there for a second.

Before I realized there was no point 99% of the time, I didn’t think it was a waste of time. Now if I’m feeling generous I think, at least on a platform like Lemmy, best you can hope is like 10% of the time you plant a seed for the person with a wrong idea or opinion that will eventually lead them to a better understanding. I certainly know that’s happened to me before when I was wrong. So often, people make the online exchange feel awful though. There’s a prominent attitude in many extremist/wrong viewpoints that not only are they right, everyone who thinks differently is an evil asshole.

Ideas that aren’t on the insane end of the spectrum tend to not be labeled conspiracy theories. Which ones deserve such better treatment, out of curiosity?
