But if you’re on the Internet and not providing unsolicited, passive-aggressive advice, are you REALLY on the Internet?

I doubt anyone here believes that what you stated is untrue. You’re getting downvoted for being a passive-aggressive, melodramatic wet blanket.

Is this you too?

At a child’s birthday party: “What awful parents, providing dessert. Don’t they know childhood obesity and diabetes are on the rise?”

At the pub: “Get your shit together, chronic alcohol consumption doubles your likelihood of stomach and liver cancer.”

With a friend: “Why do you hate yourself? You’re clearly at least 20 pounds overweight. The earth has limited resources, stop using your advantage as a member of the global North and eating other people’s food.”

They’re all true and, like your comment, needlessly needling and hyperbolic. Consider there’s more to communication than your false dichotomy defensive reaction of “true or not”. There’s also appropriate time, place, and tact, all of which you clearly didn’t consider. That’s why you’re getting downvoted.

This is the way. We had what we suspected was a neighbor’s cat that used to come visit. She didn’t have a collar, so we bought one and attached a little metal keychain pill holder so we could pass notes to them. It was fun and we got to meet a new neighbor.

I thought ZZ made you a bird.

We need to settle this, everyone. Is Phelps a bird or a fish? No other options here.

This is normal, many sphinxes have short or absent whiskers.

I DMed a group that may have had an unexpected nighttime encounter with the bane of all adventurers: the dire rhea.

Damn, those search spikes are like clockwork. Could we harness cyclical outrage to generate power, like the tides?
