Hey now not everyone hates it. Some of us are entirely indifferent and don’t want to be involved in a war between the single two most stubborn idiots on the internet.
Artists and tech dude bros. Honorable mentions go out to religious and vegan peeps.
Let us hide in peace and ignorance.
This is the entire concept of the gentlemen thief. Being polite, nice and honest in way stops someone from being an awful, terrible person who would gladly steal everything you own and leave you for dead.
People seem to struggle massively with the idea that others can be complex and multifaceted. Everyone whos “nice” must be good or everyone whos “mean” must be evil. Relly is just fundamentally flawed.
Everytime i see a comment saying they are confused over this it makes me feel like people just fundamentally do not understand the concepts of nuance or really other humans in general.
Yes…? Are you struggling with the concept of an agnostic accent? I’m talking about call centers here after all.
No even when polled, British, Australian and Canadian find it easier to understand when spoken over the phone. When compared to any accent other than their own.
Again it’s the reason it’s the most commonly used accent when you need a one size fit all solution and you can’t get a local accent for every region your servicing.
Sir, where did you get a third hand. Grave robbing and necromancy is illegal around here.
Tho I do very much agree with what you have on said third hand.
I don’t put the cart back because the workers at my grocery store keep telling me not to
To be fair I walk with a limp and a cane and hobbling back to my car is more of a pain then just popping the front of the cart up and hitching it on the planters. So it doesn’t roll into someone.
The workers there know me well and I show up 10 mins before closing on my way to work every day to get a snack for work.
Part of that is, out side of a few regions of the Midwest that have a really unique accent.
Most of the Midwest is “nutural English”. Yes there’s an accent, but there is a huge lack of slang, regional quirks, and is widely one of the most understandable accents across every English speaking country.
It’s the “universal English accent” in a sense. It’s a large reason why call centers became so popular there. That and low costs.
Functionally Midwestern accent is in a way the English that’s so boring that the banality of it IS the accent. Lol it’s kinda funny.
Colors and ASCII graphics.
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Or fancy.
But breaking things up so it’s readable helps massively.
Because generally speaking, politics is at the end of the day the single most unfiying thing on earth.
Everyone and everything at every level is directly influenced by politics.
So when you get a bunch of people together on a topic and those people otherwise don’t know each other. They are only really able to communicate in passing with one or two things.
Politics and its relation to the topic. Or a narrow opinion on the topic. Maybe a joke or some other passing comment if you push it.
It’s what small talk is. And Lemmy like reddit and any other major general community is mostly goanna be small talk.
The more frequent commenters may learn each other or have more meaningful communication but that’s goanna be rare. And realistically any meaningful conversation is goanna be sparked either via a disagreement or agreement from the aforementioned poltical view or opinion shared.
Functionally if you don’t want to engage with politics at any level for any reason no matter what. Then you basically need to just stop using anonymous or impersonal forms of communication. Which basically means stop using public forums as a whole.
Cause it’s politics or the weather basically, and since no one is goanna talk about the weather your left with politics for small talk.
That or stick very strictly to forums that deal in a extremely EXTREMELY narrow topic. Like cat pictures with out captions.
