Damn, that’s sad. I have nothing but pity for anyone who considers themselves a “true” or “professional” sea lion.

When I’m not sure, I just give them the benefit of the doubt. For example, there’s a good chance that the person replying to me speaks English well, but it’s not their first language. Also, their cultural norms might be very different from my own. It could be a simple misunderstanding, too. Overreacting would just make things worse.

When it’s obvious that the person replying is just being a pedantic nuisance, though, I merely stop responding. They may think they’ve “won”, but so what? I can go to bed knowing I don’t waste my time sealioning.

Everything it says is shit

I’ve read the book several times, and seen the movie twice. The film is excellent, and captures the “feel” very well. Don’t worry about blasphemy. You gave the book a fair, honest chance (and while the story is widely praised, the writing is not. You aren’t alone).

No need to deny yourself a great film! I’m excited for the sequel!

I just learned this yesterday, and still can’t believe it. How can it not support hashtags? How do you find anything? Do they plan on supporting hashtags in the future, or are they on some kind of idiotic anti-hashtag crusade?

No one else gets to choose your rock bottom for you.

Wisdom, right here.

This might have been interesting a few months ago, when they were getting the kind of free publicity that CEOs would kill for. Now that the momentum is gone, though, nobody cares. They took WAY too long to get their shit together.

Okay. These reasons make sense. Thanks!

I just do that to be courteous to the dentist, so my breath isn’t gross. I know it’s still obvious that I don’t floss. I see what you’re getting at, but it isn’t quite the same.

I’ve never understood this thought process. Sure, getting some stuff out of their way makes sense (like getting shoes off the floor so the cleaners can vacuum), but why clean?

It’s very freeing. Not having to care about door dings in a tight parking lot is nice.

At one of my old jobs, someone who was a manager at another business called and assumed I was a manager as well. He asked for a reference on an employee who had recently quit. The guy who left hadn’t been very good at the job, but he was a good person, clearly trying something different in a new field. I gave him a good “reference”, and the other manager sounded happy.

I wonder how it went for my old coworker…

This is fantastic.

Stone memorials - like the Lincoln, Jefferson, Vietnam, or WWII memorials in Washington D.C.

Some people just like debating. It’s incredibly refreshing when someone you completely disagree with raises a thoughtful, interesting point.

I’d feel like such an asshole driving one of these things. If someone gave me one for free, I wouldn’t even want to park it in front of my house.

Raised by a dog… loves to play fetch… this is a dissertation just waiting to be written.

I’ve watched several videos! I know next to nothing about guns, so hearing about the oddities is a fun way to learn.

It’s also fascinating that Robbie finds a way to balance her celebrity career with moderating a community on Lemmy lol
