@quinn Such apps rely on both governmental and crowd-sourced listings, so everyone be sure to report scam numbers to the authorities if you find one!

@ortallus I got a bunch of those from banks loosely related to my own bank, but only while I was in the United States. Very odd.

@jennkryst But it always takes its time to show ads in full.

@auspice Psh, no. This is a you problem. I don't even have enough right now to pay attentio- ooh shiny.

@jennkryst And not in a position to kill you either. That's an important one.

@auspice Shave it. Wear wig.

@auspice

@miss-demeanor We call that 'classical'.

@sg Open immigration, universal healthcare, disarming the police force...

@arkandel I don't have rich neighbours. I was mostly responding to the whole 'taxation is theft' garbage with a more accurate but just as stupid phrasing.

I don't think of taxation as taxation. I think of it as 'living in this country rent and fees'.

I'm half-tempted to bring Augustus back just to give foil to all these people.

@surreality Snarky? Goodness, if you think that's snark you're in for an awful shock.

@surreality You weren't getting your shit jumped. "That's an interesting way of reading" is hardly jumping on one's shit.

@cobaltasaurus said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

@ganymede Let’s see... I got linked to 2girls1cup, tubgirl*, Mr. Hands**, goatse, and a dead body being violated

Context.

@surreality Yes. But I was saying that your reading of what was said didn't seem to fit the context.

@surreality That's certainly a very... interesting way of reading that.

@faraday Almost like any culture or sub-culture.

Okay? I mean, maybe you run in some pretty rough sub-cultures, but if someone bows to me in greeting at a party, I'll raise a curious eyebrow but I'm not going to be all: "Wow, what an idiot. I never want to invite him to another party."

We're talking about things like using you or past tense or tabs in writing. It's not like these are alien ideas in prose.

If someone sees everyone else shaking hands, and decides to bow... then I'd probably think they were strange, yes. I was referring more to the first part of your comment, however, that we have unwritten rules. But they're not difficult to determine the very basics by simply looking around on a game. Everyone's using present tense, third person? Then that's probably what you should use too. Nobody else is using tab indentations? Maybe you shouldn't either.

@faraday Almost like any culture or sub-culture.

@lithium Lots of backsliding though.
