I appreciate the irony in censoring the person's name with yellow

[–] 5dashes@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Peed all over them

[–] biomatrix39@lemmy.world 41 points 11 months ago

I like the fact that they used yellow to censor the username

I'm going to wager that a lot of people exercise their democratic vote exactly like this.

that's why Trump beat Hilary. Six letters to 5. Biden beat Trump because although they have both 5 letters, Biden is lexicographically earlier in the alphabet.

Republicans should run someone called "Bell" to beat Biden.

Bo, Abe, and Bum.

I'm calling our next three presidents!

President in 2050: AAAAA

Maybe people with trypophobia don't like voting at all because they're terrified of those irregular bubble patterns on voting ballots.

The best part is whoever took the pic and censored the user did so with yellow.

The other day I saw a 4 star review that said "I never rate 5 stars" and then had a bunch of positive things to say. Looked at their other reviews and, sure enough, there were a ton of 4 star reviews that started with "I never give 5 stars".

I'm still irrationally angry about. Like, why?! Why fuck up the rating system? Are you worried about star inflation?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Probably the "nothing is perfect" mentality, which doesn't understand that 5 stars or a 10/10 doesn't mean something is perfect because, as they said, nothing is. All ratings are there to be used!

If you give them too many free stars they get lazy and stop trying.

[–] HootinNHollerin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Yep I just had the worst sushi of my life from a place with 4.4 stars. Best place in the city is 4.8. Definitely star inflation

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Shit like that is exactly why so many places don't use stars anymore.

Oh god it just hit me that we’re in for a category 6 shitstorm when he turns senile

[–] Damaskox@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Such a peculiar point of view!

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

4 gray stars because it's gray...t.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Boomers mindset of the entire world.

I know there's a system that makes sense and works for everybody but for stupid personal reasons I'm going to fuck up that system because my petty wants are the most important thing in the world.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 10 points 11 months ago

Lol.. I hate this product but I love yellow! This is a bad review!

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

Or, just not rate?

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, yellow is a shit colour.

[–] Alexxxolotl@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

Albeit I respect your opinion, I humbly disagree. Downvoted :)

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If the color of your shit is yellow, you should probably see a doctor.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mines turquoise like it should be.

Gotta be some autism at play here

I feel like this is copy pasta material. Time will tell.
