What is up with these snowflake neues, posting bitter over-the-top political comments?

They stick out like a sore thumb in spring 2023.

It flew under the radar more when everyone was short-tempered, say winter 2021.

The people who are still stuck on it and in their own heads seem to have a __negative__ herding effect. There's a seed of irrationality that drives some, and as there's fewer, they stick out more, making it more grating and driving more people away.

What's up with catastrophizing an obvious joke?

See, if you'd intellectually engage in good faith, you'd understand the point that one of few (if not the only) reliable ways to tell apart AI from humans in the future would be human shortcomings.

A misguided offense extrapolated into pseudo-intellectual tone policing is a beautiful example of that, so you pass.

“Catastrophizing” lol. I wish you all the best, and hope you feel better soon my friend.
