A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Is... Is this a win? Wasting 2 hours of your life in an attempt to teach a lesson to some rando you'll never see again?

hello!

time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.

[–] nate3d@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you enjoy it - it’s never wasted time

Time is never wasted when you’re wasted all the time?

I don't think the 2 hour ramble was an intentional attempt at teaching a lesson.

Feels more like a failure on the part of her date. A big part of active listening is keying in on things you're interested in and leading the conversation in that direction.

People with ADHD rambling at me for an hour was what I did before podcasts.

Yeah and based on what the dude said, I don't really peg him as big on "active listening".

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 year ago

If it was fun for you then yes (nothing wasted in that case).

She was going to be talking anyway

Isn't the point that her actual neurological condition made it harder for her to control herself from going on a long rant, simultaneously explaining and demonstrating how his diagnosis isn't as bad as he thinks it is?
