Blocking out the names but not the @s was certainly a choice. Or was the inanity part of a stealth advertising campaign where people point out the inanity and thus call attention to the @. The internet’s friggin weird.
Given how bad most name censoring is, I think most people doing it don't actually want to but also don't want to be accused of blatantly violating rules requiring it.
I've honestly never seen the point in blotting out people's handles unless they're saying some seriously incindiary stuff
Before I left Reddit it felt like almost every post that reached the front page had a typo or some dumb mistake or worst a title like "Which PC game is your favourite?!?".
It's not too bad here yet, but I have a feeling it's only a matter of time.
I just do it as a courtesy to the people as I'm usually making fun of them in forums they didn't originally post in. It's not like I'm thinking about it as being doxxing, more just that I'm poking fun at someone behind their back - if they're a public figure that's one thing - but the average Joe? Just feels impolite. That's why I do it anyway.
I fake laugh everyday for ten minutes, so that when I die and relive life's little moments, all I see are happy times.
Ain't that the fucking saddest thing you ever heard? I'm sitting in an empty room, laughing my ass off to trick my dead self into thinking I had a good life.
Life's a fucking funny thing.
I know what you mean... I found a guy who looks just like Dave who can take huge dumps so that people would think Dave was taking huge dumps. Why? Ultimately I guess I wanted people to think Dave was taking huge embarrassing dumps. If I had to come up with a reason that would be it, and honestly that might be IT!
Are you doing ok?
It's a reference to a comedy sketch show called I Think You Should Leave. It's really funny in a fever dream sort of way. Can't find the clip they're referring to but this'll give you an idea at least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Bfkc6lZok
I felt cool knowing where this was from thanks
Question?? Marks???
'Multiple exclamation marks,' he went on, shaking his head, 'are a sure sign of a diseased mind.'
I always get so upset when I realize im caring about work or thinking about it off the clock.
At my work we lost a few good souls to COVID. Weeks later it was like these people that were with the company for many years, never existed. Most couldn’t remember their names, and I’m starting for forget their faces.
Work doesn’t care about you or your livelihood.
Interestingly no one wondered why he was just hanging out crying at the library... I NEED CLOSURE ON THIS ANECDOTE!!!
Spend a day in the library and you'd have an answer 😉
Lots of wfh people end up there a day or so a week to escape the grind. Free internet, no expectation of purchase, away from anyone else who's home, and it's quiet.
Edit: As for the crying part, way more potential reasons than being at the library, so can't help there.
Theoretically it would be a great place to work. Till I get kicked out the moment a meeting starts.
Sometimes you've just really got to let it out, and you need to make time to do it. Really makes ya sad that people break down to that point and can't just take a minute for a hug.
It's the Two Minutes Self-hate.
