Not tone deaf, just... doesn't really make sense in context.

Every time I see the phrase "toxic positivity" my first instinct to contest it, because my first experiences with the phrase were a misapplication (that being positive is somehow toxic,) but so far on Lemmy, I've only seen it used in ways that make sense (the toxic expectation that others will be exclusively positive.)

Don't worry, Mr. Mofu, I've got this argument covered for you. Ahem...

Dwarves really get the short end of the stick. They're not "greedy" for digging too deep, it's literally what they were made to do. Their whole economy depends on mining. What do you want them to do, grow crops? With what farmland? The elves and halflings took it all. And elves never awaken ancient evils of the forest by growing trees too tall, and halflings never face the consequences of their greed in eating too much. Dwarves spend all day working so they can survive, and the stories call them evil. Elves spend all day lazing around in their vacation homes, and if you complain, somehow you're the bad guy.

Well, to be fair, "Why can't websites just remember that I said no to cookies?"

I hope not. I like my relevant xkcds.

Exactly as ordered. Good job, private.

Came here to say this.

Are you trying to tell me smoking saved his life?

If anyone can make the joke, yes. If it requires obscure circumstances to work, like the other person having a complementary name and hometown, probably not.

My expectation was that one might rotate an equine on an axis other than yaw.
