      Okay, I’ll be earnest. Framing something subjective as a self-evident truth is exactly what I said - annoying. An opinion given in the form of “It’s almost like $my_opinion” is an archetypal example of reddit/lib smugness that I strongly dislike. And its construction is repeated and duplicated across so much of social media (or at least those two sites) that it feels simultaneously robotic. It’s autonomous snark, if you follow me. Speaking personally, it triggers such a strong and immediate reaction because I left reddit in part to get away from these endlessly repeated phrases and idioms and sentiments. Does that make sense?

      Have you seen any of the posts here, where new people ask questions about concepts they don’t understand? Make a thread, ask your questions in good faith, and read what people have been linking you.

      Right now, what we’re hearing is that you don’t want to read and put in the effort to actually understand.

      For the benefit of everyone reading this after serinus got banned, Hexbear users are NOTORIOUS for writing huge essays with lots of sources if you get us going. This user can’t respond, but accusing us of ‘not saying anything’ is patently false.
