Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I don’t get the purpose of these race baiting posts.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Because outrage is the best way to get engagement. Engagement sells more ads. More ads means more money.

We have optimized our society very poorly

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 5 points 4 days ago

It’s idiocracy!

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

how else would it be optimized?

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You could optimize around meeting everyone’s basic needs. Only human greed prevents us from accomplishing that.

and the obsessive need of the UN to redefine basic needs to include nonsense like "housing" and "freedoms"

I mean given his screen name is Ray Cistman, I think it's just a shitposting account

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

Oh I missed that. :(

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

Racebait and shit posts are not mutually exclusive.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You think this is race baiting?

Fragile much?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

His handle is Rev. Ray Cistman...

I think you might need to walk this back a bit.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're telling the wrong person... I'm not the one triggered by a joke that's barely Boondocks level edge.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't get the purpose of these race baiting jokes.

Did you vote for Donald Trump?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Would it make you happy if I did?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, it would just clear up some confusion about why you're so willingly obtuse

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If you wanted to clear this up you could just admit to the fact that you are still suffering from a bit of white fragility... which is not some irredeemable sin, you know.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm good — you not being able to digest context clues has nothing to do with any supposed white fragility. Great try, not sure why you're race baiting — you should look inward and figure out what makes you hate white people so much.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Great try,

Great try at what? You decided to put your white fragility on display with no help from me.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

No, you decided to claim that suggesting a post by Rev. Ray Cistman is race baiting must for some reason be tied to white fragility.

Trust me, no one that can read agrees with you.

Edit: Like I said, you should probably address that hatred of white people — that's the only thing you've shown with your words.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

a post by Rev. Ray Cistman is race baiting

Your white fragility still does not dictate what is "race baiting" and what isn't, Clyde.

no one that can read agrees with you.

Please tell me you can do better than that.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm not reading this, like I said — you need to look inward.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not the one with a bad case of white fragility - you are.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I almost forgot I have to tag you!

Bigot. There we go.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

White fragility on your end does not constitute bigotry on mine.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The only person who has commented about white people here is you.

You are a bigot, I'm glad that I've educated you on the topic. Maybe you'll be less obtuse.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Again... white fragility on your end does not constitute bigotry on mine.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bad troll, you've earned your tag — go back to your pen

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And again... white fragility on your end does not constitute bigotry on mine.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You keep saying white fragility as if it's a kind of gotcha whilst willfully denying that this is race bait.

I assume it's because you struggle to read, which is ok — most of America does. You can always pick up a book, it's never too late to learn!

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

this is race bait.

This is only "race bait" for white people suffering from white fragility. That's not a gotcha, Clyde... just pointing out that the way it looks is the way it is.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Welp, guess you still can't read. Shame, we'll get 'em next time.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So which part of...

This is only “race bait” for white people suffering from white fragility.

...are you having trouble comprehending?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Oh, you misunderstand — which makes sense, you're simply being an asshole.

I am assuming that you don't know how to read because the alternative is that I'm speaking with someone who is race baiting. Actually, there are a variety of reasons why you could choose this hill to die on — all of them are equally false. In that case, refer to the tag I shared earlier!

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

So, again - which part of...

This is only “race bait” for white people suffering from white fragility.

...are you having trouble comprehending?
