Less, “blissfully unaware,” more, “generally apathetic because I didn’t realise I had a dark cloud contaminating the positive experiences in my life.”

This is kind of off-topic, and I’m seemingly in the minority here, but can we stop shoving the word “rule” into every single post title? Am I the only one that finds this annoying? This is a great community, but as I scroll lemmy, I subconsciously read all post titles somewhere deep in my brain. It’s so passive that I don’t even realize I’m doing it—until I come across seemingly any 196 post and the word “rule” shoehorned into the…middle of a word is like a record scratch deep in my brain stem.
I know this is a me problem, but dammit if it doesn’t bug me. Am I alone? (And yes, I’m prepared to get a bunch of “well then get over it or leave” replies. So, let me have ‘em.)
you ar(ul)e alone in this
in all seriousness, i dont mind. i think it was a rule on the subreddit that you had to have it in the title
It wasn’t a rule, but it was often done as a bit
One of the subreddits rules was “don’t forget the rule”, so I believe it actually was a rule. I also can’t recall ever seeing a post that didn’t have rule in the title
There is only one rule on 196, and that is you have to post something on your way out. Using ‘rule’ in the title is like saying “I’m out”
Oh, must’ve misremembered. Not my most active sub anyway tbh. Sincerely don’t remember ever seeing a post without rule in the title though, so it felt like an actual rule.
Be a bit more aggressive and we would have a new copypasta
it was annoying at first for me too, but i got used to it (brainwashed into thinking it’s funny)
alright now seriously i agree with you. when its this overdone it’s not even funny, doesnt fit the entire rest of lemmy and hurts to look at.
Yes. Very much so. Similar process I went through, I never found it funny, but I did get used to it…and then it started bugging me. Especially when when it’s like “Awa-r(ul)e-ness” or any shit like that. It’s not clever, it’s just stupid.
Some people are just not moved by dads at all and prefer the clever mom jokes I guess.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

Society is becoming more non-gendered for kids thankfully. They still separate clothes for ‘boys’ and ‘girls,’ but toys are no longer separated that way. My daughter didn’t even understand the concept until she started going to antique malls with us and I would run into things like GI Joe figures and had to explain the whole idea of “GI Joe is for boys, Barbie is for girls” that was forced on me by society in the 80s.
There was a boy in my elementary school who had a Cabbage Patch Kid and got made fun of for it. Hopefully that, at least, is becoming less of an issue.
I know that one of my daughter’s close friends, who is trans, still gets a lot bullying, but he’s also in middle school, so anyone not “normal” is bullied. I’m not sure if it’s bigotry or just standard middle schoolers being assholes.
Why are you banned?
Lucifer didn’t make Eve eat the apple. The Bible says nothing about Lucifer in the garden, and says nothing about him being a snake.
Just a tidbit of lore I guess, it’s all made up nonsense regardless
I’d still use lucifer as a verb for it any time.
Here’s one that comes in handy for oddly specific situations:
I was just thinking about this the other day, haven’t seen it in a long time
Ah… I love that one.
“Awareness”
