A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Ah, you fell for one of the classic blunders: expecting your opponent to value logic and consistency in their opinions

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah my fault. You can't really expect them to treat logic with respect when they are balls deep in an altarboy.

As the below comments have shown, lmao

"The card says 'Moops'" (great video on this style of Internet "debate" that's only gotten worse since it was published)

This is a good video. I found a transcript for people like me who prefer text: https://www.readtpa.com/p/innuendo-studios-card-says-moops-seinfeld

THANK YOU. I wish every YT video had this... I tried to resist watching the "voice over stock graphics" or "watching a guy with headphones and RGB lights on his bedroom wall" videos for a long time but they have long since supplanted what would've been a nice forum post, reddit self/text post, or blog entry.

I dread the day even these will become "part 1 of 5" tik tok/shorts or painfully broken into Twitter "threads" (I know we're already halfway there)

Watch out, that card will drink your bones

It's moors, you son of a bitch! Moors!

You know, it's funny. Because the Bubble Boy episode is all about how someone's behavior can lead them to be totally unsympathetic, despite their circumstances.

The audience is ultimately supposed to sympathize with George for being a pedent while this obnoxious jerk kinda gets what he deserves.
