No, no. This is one where offense can easily be intended.

Compared my buddies collection of Funko vinyl POP figures to Beanie Babies...crap of self realization.
It's also mean if you add up some measure of everyone's excitement and divide it by the number of people
That's average
My parents were very excited about a fresh business opportunity by a certain Nigerian Prince. So I’m a shit person for not letting them enjoy it, sure.
Your loss, sat in my new palace because he came to me when you refused to help him.
That may be true but it's also important to have self resilience against useless criticism. I mean, it's not your fault your excitement has triggered someone else's defences, causing them to attack you. Best thing to do is walk away and only engage again when you're calm, if you want to still engage with them.
The obvious exception to this is cases of addiction or poor life decisions.
Like if you collect/play Pokemon or whatever as a hobby and are excited to get a rare card, that's great and I'm happy for you.
If you're underwater on your mortgage and your basement is full of beanie-babies - that you're sure will make you rich in the future - but you just won a bid of $1000 for one rare beanie on eBay... yeah I'm not gonna be happy for you I'm gonna recommend talking to a professional
You just don’t understand, once I can get my hands on that Jonbenet Ramsey Beanie Baby it’s going to be my retirement plan, six months of back rent will seem paltry at that point, you’ll see. I’ve got big things going on, BIG THINGS!

I wanna know how so many people here know so many others in their lives that legitimately get excited about things like racism and shit. That's the surprising thing to me in these comments

My coworker and i usually nerd out over some space shit but he keeps being excited for space x stuff. I always tear that down because fuck Elon. Other people are still doing cool space shit to get excited about.
What about Zionists? Or people cheering at Trump for sinking a boat in Venezuela?

Autistics everywhere furiously clicking the upvote button.
The worst people in the world furiously drawing strawmen...
I'm curious to understand this comment, if you would sacrifice some time to explain what you mean?
Or even more interesting would be to know what you think I meant with my comment.
As I was scrolling down the comments, all I could see was comments using strawman arguments for why the meme is wrong. Really just pointing out the juxtaposition of reactions to meme. Wasnt saying you were wrong, more just completing the thought... as it were.

Call me the worst type of person.
I think it's okay to be excited about stuff, but when someone is excited about something, am I expected to also be excited about it or else I'm considered a bad person for just being like "oh cool" and then not being any further interested?

If you're excited for Republican leadership: How could I possibly make you feel stupid? You're too stupid to know!
I shame people when they mention asking an LLM about anything. Does that count?
I think there are certain things that we, as a society, can agree are worthy of feeling shame.
Racism is probably number one.
But asking LLMs for any kind of advice or using them as search engines should be pretty high on that list.
