Something that has bothered me since the dawn of mainstream internet adoption: the need to reinforce that you're stating your opinion. I shouldn't have to say "I don't personally like Pearl Jam, I think they're trash, but that's my opinion". I should just be able to say "Pearl Jam sucks." and based on the fact that there is no objective measure of musical quality one could imply that this is a statement of my personal opinion because I'm the person who fucking said it. Certain assertions are categorically opinion and not fact and the inability or unwillingness to perform this very basic form of reading comprehension seems lost as soon as someone is online.

That's something people do in real life too, it's not an internet thing. It's a being courteous thing and indicating that you respect other people's opinions to the contrary.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

A lot less and this is partially due to it being an internet thing for 20 years

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I can say with full confidence that Train objectively sucks. Its not only my opinion, it's the correct take.

"So gangsta, I'm so thug" shit lyrics from a shit artist.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

There's bands and stuff I don't like, but Train makes me angry in like not a fun listening to punk way but like, I'm mad at the song kinda way

MauLer ruined objectivity/subjectivity for everybody

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I remember this in like 2002

True & understandable, I think Long Man is the first time I've seen someone stretch and rend the definitions of those concepts in public though.

Does the interweb just make people unreasonable, then? Anonymity etc?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I think early on it was a bunch of people who hadn't read much before using the internet and were bad at inferring or implying tone in writing and then it became normal over time

[-] Lerios@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Pearl Jam sucks

meow-tableflip angery

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

True. Maybe it's to separate themselves from "[Music Artist] is OBJECTIVELY TRASH" posting

Can I have the Jester privileges or am I going to the dungeons?

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

I'm currently haunting the building waiting for the counter revolution from the other lords to come and torture everyone who led the jacquerie to death in my gaols so I no longer have the authority to grant you jesterhood

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

My dream denied yet again boohoo

[-] angrytoadnoises@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 months ago

what if they're saying in my honest opinion and not in my humble opinion

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago
[-] angrytoadnoises@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

bros wouldn't do that to me, their opinion was honest, they even said

finding out otherwise would certainly humble me

[-] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Wait, the H was for humble this entire time? Holy fuck I must’ve come off as pretentious a few times without realizing it.

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 4 points 2 months ago

I always read the H as honest.

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Also 'TBQH' fills most of that whole niche TBQH

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

To Be Quite Humble

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

As a real big autist who's had a long string of really fucking bad interactions online since I was ten, I usually don't say "IMO" but the more I suspect I'm gonna piss people off, the more IMOs I will sprinkle in as a hail mary in an attempt not to have furious motherfuckers filling up my DMs.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

I’ve always read that as “in my honest opinion”

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

For that I always put [most sincere voice] but for some reason people take it the wrong way

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Uh, well IMHO I think you are wrongi-think-that

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

I sentence you to execution

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

[-] 1917isnow@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah I think it's good when I read Varoufakis's stuff about techno feudalism I put down my visor and prepare to fulfill my duties for Peter Thiel
