dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I take it you don’t acknowledge people doing polite things for you because you don’t owe them anything? Do you not appreciate when someone’s polite to you?

Are you being polite to actually help?
Or because you want a head pat?

From my upbringing I've learned to stay far away from the latter.

Editing to add context: When it comes to unhoused outreach the people in it for acknowledgement often become liabilities.

I guess it’s some sort of moral hurdle someone needs to pass when they do nice things for you and you don’t acknowledge them.

[–] JayTwo@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

I personally do acknowledge them.

I just think that you shouldn't do it for the acknowledgement.
