So it’s you.

I am well aware that it’s a popular song. I also know that karaoke is about having fun and being a bit cringe. I get all of that, I used to do karaoke all, the, time…

For you, you’re just kind of visiting… you both think you’re being cutesy and special and unique… to everyone else, hatred. It’s like when someone goes to Guitar Center and thinks they’ll show off how “cool” they are by trying to play “Stairway to Heaven” but to the staff and regulars it’s like the 4th time that day… hatred. Plus everyone there now knows you’re basic, and probably a poser.

#Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

Absolutely hate that song. It’s bad enough that it’s the poster child for baby’s first “emo/goth” song. Badly written, overly dramatic, cheesy cringe af… But I hate it for more than that.

I used to do (nearly) weekly karaoke with friends at the bar. And almost every week, every goddamn week, some “quirky” scene couple on their first date thinks they’ll try to be cute sing a duet together… and everytime, every goddamn time, it’s “Bring me to Life”. And no, they can never sing, it sounds like if gym sneakers had autism.

Hate that song. Not just me, like, everyone who frequently does karaoke hates that song. Most karaooke DJs don’t even let you pick it, they know what’s up and they’re even more sick of hearing it. I hear that song and I get fucking PTSD flashbacks. The cringe is physically painful.

dog whistle after dog whistle.

And you’re missing the point. If your spectrum of ideology is up to and includes nazis… you accept nazis… making you a nazi enabler at best… or to keep it simple, a nazi.

I don’t know why y’all are thinking that you’re being slick by playing these games. This little semantic games and bad faith bullshit is well known about and documented. It’s the same strategies used nearly a 100 years ago. We already read about you, go back to history books.

why are you running so much defense for nazis? not a good look.

maga toes the line with open nazis and they don’t even bat an eye.

If you have 10 people at a table and 1 of them is a nazi, you have 10 nazis. Simple as.

but I’m on Lemmy.World and I’m too stupid to understand everything.

I haven’t seen a $500 gpu in near a decade. Even used. If you see a $500 gpu today, I guarantee you it can’t run Borderlands 4.

So, let me get this straight. I call out a person playing defense for fascists by scoring into own goal, call them useless, I get a warning… But they are literally all caps screaming, cursing, throwing unsubstantiated insults and calling me transphobic because I’m not being zealous enough… still posting.

Make it make sense.

EDIT: LOL, their bio literally admits that they’re only on Lemmy because they got banned multiple times from Reddit for being violent… and here they are, on Lemmy, screaming, cursing, losing their shit… learning nothing… not banned.

Cool, all the trans people can thank you for your spine as we’re all being rounded up by ICE.

Forest and trees and all that shit. You’re hopeless. You’re no one’s ally but to yourself, your ego and pride.

Oh cool, trans people are soooo much more protected now. I’m sure all the Trans people who got ejected from military, losing all their benefits feel so much more protected now. All the girls having to submit to “genital inspections” for sports probably all thank you for “having standards”.

Hey, but at least you got to give it to people like Kamala and Newsome for not being pure enough for you.

Wokescold bullshit. In your effort to gatekeep the left, you let fascists take over. Good job.

this is wokescold purity testing, and it’s exactly why we have Trump now. Because wokescolds prioritized some future microaggressions instead of the very real, immediate Fascist reality and decided to dumb things like “protest vote” for Warren, or just not show up.

saving this for later in case I ever finally decided to do the thing I’ve been thinking about doing now for 10+ years… maybe this time I will… maybe

which I hate… especially the “shorts”…

tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control… I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)… but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.

People be like “parent’s should take responsibility for their kids”… I’m like “mf, I’m trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media” And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it’s not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.
