Every time I hear someone say 'eh' in a questioning tone or to mean 'um actually' I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y'all?

I dont let my emotions control me like that, but I know what you mean. :)

So you "know what op means" about hating a specific phrase, but you personally don't have emotions? If you don't have emotions how can you know what op means?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those two are unrelated ideas, calm down. You can dislike a phrase and still don't let it get to you. That's totally relatable.

Also, this is your second comment on this account and it's just as negative as your first. What's up with that? This isn't Reddit.

I'm very calm, you seem to be the one letting your emotions control you here.

Is lemmy about praising people for making pointless, self aggrandizing claims that don't contribute to the conversation? Cause that's what the post I was responding to was. "Ha I'm better than all of you and I have no intention of contributing because I'm better than all of you". That's unkind.

Your reddit history seems to have made you read things into the post that wasnt there....

Maybe some time away from social media is a good idea.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is your entire point to spew nonsense, confuse people for others, and be "unkind" while contributing nothing yourself other than incendiary bullshit? Aka, be a troll? Not the place for you.

Oh hey you're right, you are two separate people. Fixed the text of the post. I do wish this app made people more visually distinct. It's not 1990. Well either way you seem to be well aware I was referring to the other person's comment, so we should be good to go.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You hate things too friendo. You get angry. You make bad decisions because of it. Your emotions cause you to hurt people. This is a normal part of being human. No one "lets" their emotions control them; they are controlled by them no matter what.

The fact that you don't apologize afterwards doesn't mean you weren't wrong. It means you're a jerk.
