Homelessness is a lifestyle choice

The amount of people who down votes without watching the video is non-zero. Also, it's incredible the amount of people who don't realize or understand this comedy bit or that it's a criticism of something an actual home secretary really said.

I'm not against posting videos but the person should explain what it is. The comment is basically click bait.

[–] copd@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

90% of posts on Lemmy are either clickbait or rage bait. Welcome to modern social media

the future is now old man

Not for nothing but I live my life trying not to watch videos I don't have to

Downvotes don't bother me, it's a silly measurement anyway because it's so opinion based and most people's opinions are wrong ;)

Vicious, ignorant nonsense.

Edit: it’s from the video

You should have watched it before commenting.

EDIT: Never mind, I'm a moron.

It’s a quote from the video. It’s tempting to be a jerk and respond to your tone in kind, but I’ll be sympathetic to the fact that it’s likely you just didn’t clock it and I didn’t use quotation marks (even though I think it’s a fantastic moment).

Haha, yeah, I deserve that clap back. I must have missed that while watching. Thanks for being civil!

There was a tinge of smug in my comment I’ll cop to it lol but yeah i’ve been trying lately not to be so…idk, flippant is the word that comes to mind a lot. That and just relishing correcting people. Have a good one mate.
