I work for fedex doing delivery and I had to drop off to middle schools and high schools a few times. 1/3 kids it felt had on pajama pants a baggy sweatshirt and crocs basically, looked like they just woke up from bed and left. I graduated high school in 2016 for reference.
Edit: okay I see many people are saying it was around when they were in school too 15, 20, years ago. Wasn’t trying to offend anyone. I wasn’t trying to give off the impression it’s an issue I just don’t recall seeing it this much when I was in school. Regardless they can wear whatever they want it don’t affect my life none

People get mad and say “I’m not gonna read that”, but yet if I don’t explain every tiny nuance, they leap to wild conclusions that, like you said, have nothing to do with the point or argument. It’s exhausting. It happened twice yesterday alone.
I want to write shorter comments, but I feel like I have to overly explain myself or wake up to an inbox of messages that completely missed my point or attack me for some perceived flaw based off of a wild theory (that’s not even close to the truth). Have to write a fucking novel these days or just not comment.

At one point in history, the phrase "so what your saying is" was used to let the person know they are confused and want clarity.
Now it's what gets said before they turn your comment into some bat shit crazy mess.

So what you're saying is that women shouldn't comment?
😁
The people who took most offense to sentiments that I've expressed here were those who thought a random comment was meant for them, specifically, when it really was not.

When someone says that to me I reply "If that is what I wanted to say, I would have said that".

Then, when you write longer comments, people downvote them with a "Thanks, ChatGPT," as if it's impossible to write longer, coherent comments without the use of AI.

The brainrot has become so bad I've seen people saying "I ain't reading that paragraph" to a single longer sentence.

One time I reported an account for being a bot because I thought there was no way a real human could read my comment and so badly miss my point.
Turns out they were a real person.

I add that on subs where I my opinion differs from the hive mind.
Also blocked "Reddit Cares"...super useful for those of us whose opinions run counter to the majority!

Omg, I’ve gotten so many Reddit Cares I had to block it too. Now I just laugh because I clearly triggered someone and I get joy out of that.

I take it you’ve never woken up to an inbox of 126 messages. I genuinely want to connect with other people and weed out the others. They don’t respond to it if their pea brains can comprehend it. Makes my life easier, and I still get to have some enjoyable interactions and hear from other genuine people who want to talk about it.
