Fun prank.

“How do you know they’re all booked? Maybe someone didn’t show up. Can you go check?”

Nah, paying taxes just isn’t for me…

I’ve never heard of this until now, so take it with several grains of salt.

I’d imagine the complaints stem from the fact that she was never in charge of the country.
But then they should have complained when Ben Franklin was announced.
Or maybe they did complain when Ben Franklin was announced, but you can’t really go “look at these bigots hating on Benjamin Franklin,” so that wasn’t shared around as much.
Of course even if that were the case, there would be people who draw the line at Tubman and not Franklin anyways, which could be a case of actual bigotry.
Or maybe a significant subset of the audience wasn’t taught in school that Tubman was that influential, and sees this as blowing a historical figure out of proportion.

What do you have against sea lions? Can you name one documented case of when a sea lion ever did anything that personally affected you in a demonstratably negative way?

My hands are now unspeakably filthy as filthy people following the signs have accumulated a ton of germs on this handle. I get sick.

Do you normally get sick when you touch a bathroom door handle? It’s not like people choose not to wash their hands because there’s a separate handle for it.

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?”

My expectation was that one might rotate an equine on an axis other than yaw.

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

Apparently dyslexia is contagious.
