I appreciate the irony in censoring the person's name with yellow

[–] 5dashes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Peed all over them

[–] biomatrix39@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

I like the fact that they used yellow to censor the username

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 35 points 1 year ago

The best part is whoever took the pic and censored the user did so with yellow.

I'm going to wager that a lot of people exercise their democratic vote exactly like this.

that's why Trump beat Hilary. Six letters to 5. Biden beat Trump because although they have both 5 letters, Biden is lexicographically earlier in the alphabet.

Republicans should run someone called "Bell" to beat Biden.

Bo, Abe, and Bum.

I'm calling our next three presidents!

Maybe people with trypophobia don't like voting at all because they're terrified of those irregular bubble patterns on voting ballots.

The other day I saw a 4 star review that said "I never rate 5 stars" and then had a bunch of positive things to say. Looked at their other reviews and, sure enough, there were a ton of 4 star reviews that started with "I never give 5 stars".

I'm still irrationally angry about. Like, why?! Why fuck up the rating system? Are you worried about star inflation?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Probably the "nothing is perfect" mentality, which doesn't understand that 5 stars or a 10/10 doesn't mean something is perfect because, as they said, nothing is. All ratings are there to be used!

If you give them too many free stars they get lazy and stop trying.

Yep I just had the worst sushi of my life from a place with 4.4 stars. Best place in the city is 4.8. Definitely star inflation

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Shit like that is exactly why so many places don't use stars anymore.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh god it just hit me that we’re in for a category 6 shitstorm when he turns senile

[–] Damaskox@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Such a peculiar point of view!

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

4 gray stars because it's gray...t.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Lol.. I hate this product but I love yellow! This is a bad review!

[–] 018118055@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Or, just not rate?

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, yellow is a shit colour.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the color of your shit is yellow, you should probably see a doctor.

[–] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mines turquoise like it should be.

Lay off the Air Heads. You're out of control.™

I feel like this is copy pasta material. Time will tell.
