EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:

This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

People get too embarrassed about publicly being wrong. I went in on someone recently in a comment thread, typed up like a whole paragraph tearing down what I thought was an indefensible point.

Homeboy replied like “hey you misread my comment”

Rather than edit everything away to hide my shame, I just replied with “you’re right, I’m drunk on a cruise!” and it was honestly a highlight of the voyage. Maybe some randys can get the same enjoyment out of rereading the interaction, and that’s way more than anyone would get out of “edit: whoops”

The amount of times I’ve seen the “oops, you’re right, sorry/thanks!” equivalent on Lemmy makes me think this place really has attracted some good people.

Disclaimer: yes we have trolls, shit posts, hot takes, etc.

Enjoying messing around doesn't mean people aren't good. Shit posts in particular show a level of awareness, otherwise it's just a post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

True. In fact, I just came here from a shitpost community!

That was the wrong term for sure. I quickly added that part at the end after I envisioned the first reply being “if you don’t think the Reddit trolls came over then I don’t know where you’re looking” or similar.

Bruh if getting politely corrected on social media is the highlight of your holiday, you gotta find a better type of holiday.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

replies like this are why it was a highlight 💖

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I mean it sincerely. It sounds like the cruise itself wasn't super enjoyable to you. Which is totally fine. Maybe you'd enjoy going on a guided tour, or self-guiding yourself around another country or region. Or maybe you'd get maximal enjoyment out of just spending a week at the beach. Different people have different sorts of ideal holidays, but if a mediocre social media interaction was the highlight of your cruise, I'd be inclined to think cruises might not be yours.

Lemmy will learn about hyperbole one day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

One day a million years from now.

I had a great time, but thank you very much for all the unsolicited advice. The suggestions that I had a bad time are kinda weird though, maybe reapproach the way you talk to strangers!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

go easy he's on the spectrum

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That's honestly a really great approach. I'm going to do that next time I fuck up at work. Boss: "The production server is down and the database is hosed!"

Me: Omg I'm so sorry! I'm drunk on a cruise!

If I was embarrassed I would have deleted the post.
