Sir! Excuse me, sir!

Actually I was just being passive aggressive at you for the bit. But it’s totally understandable that you didn’t notice.

I like how you needed to demonstrate that you know what passive aggression is.

Fast food social media. Nice term there.

Anyways, I don’t see why this has to be a matter of high privilege vs. low privilege. There’s definitely a correlation, but depressed rich people and happy poor people aren’t uncommon. Also, not all questions of positivity vs. negativity are in contexts that relate to privilege. It could be about the direction of a media series, for example, which is where I’ve heard it misused.

Actually I would call that aggressive passive, because it’s very upfront and aggressive, but in a not actually very aggressive way.

Not tone deaf, just… doesn’t really make sense in context.

Every time I see the phrase “toxic positivity” my first instinct to contest it, because my first experiences with the phrase were a misapplication (that being positive is somehow toxic,) but so far on Lemmy, I’ve only seen it used in ways that make sense (the toxic expectation that others will be exclusively positive.)

Well, to be fair, “Why can’t websites just remember that I said no to cookies?”

Came here to say this.

Way to ruin that guy’s Plague Inc run, man.

Yeah, I know. But “what does greek mythology say about using windows” would have been less funny.

If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.

That’s weird. I don’t get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says “Sign In.” Maybe it’s because I’m on Windows 11?

Apparently dyslexia is contagious.

If you bake it, he will buy.

I read “3cm” as “Jam” somehow and was very confused. For a bit, I thought the raisins were holes to inject the jam into to make a jam-filled cookie.

It makes the comment section more interesting : )

NOOOOOoooo…!
