The model in the image you linked still looks basically monochrome …

How is this different to Iraq?

Bush had approval from Congress. Trump didn’t even notify the gang of 8 until after the kidnapping started.

note: I’m not condoning the invasion of Iraq.

There’s a decent sized population of Venezuelans where I live (in Texas). They were having a street party after the news broke.

3D was the shit. Forever was shit (literally, you could grab a turd out of a toilet and throw it as a weapon).

Sex becomes inconsistent or dead bedroom.

Studies show that coupled persons on average have more sex than singles. I’m on Mobile and many of the sites I’m getting in search results are badly formatted a butt load of popups and shit so I don’t want to link them.

What’s yours is hers and what’s hers is hers.

That just sounds like an unhealthy relationship in general, not something to do with marriage. Shared property is a financial benefit of marriage. One of the many marital rights that the LGBTQ+ community had long fought for equality over. If you’re phrasing in a “lost everything in the divorce” context, then there’s always pre-nuptial agreements. You need to enter a relationship with well communicated expectations and goals. Planning out how the eventual divorce will go before you’re even married sounds like manifesting failure to me.

Your hobbies aren’t as important at times.

Again, clearly communicated goals and expectations. Someone expecting you to give up cero hobbies is something you should know before the relationship is that serious. You naturally shifting your priorities away from a hobby of your own choice also isn’t a negative regardless of relationship status.

Season of aggression!!

Video yes. Text-only no, you would need an account on another platform for that.

You could post a picture of text (with ALT text) from Pixelfed, though.

Fair point, for T9 typing I can see that. I wouldn’t expect millennials and zennials to have dealt with T9 much, though.

Does Lemmy need the double space?

It does indeed.

'twas a haiku 😉

I can see how someone literally putting the word “period” at the of a sentence gives it a certain tone. But the meaning of a period is that the sentence is ended.

My phone keyboard adds so many unwanted periods, sometimes between every word.

If poetry text
Is how you commune with friends
Passive aggressive.

edit: fixed the formatting, and my keyboard unironically took my double-tap on space to add periods for me! 😅

But like, what if, you’re like … “downloading” the file … from memory … to disk? … man?

It’s the explicit inclusion of period where ‘normally’ there wouldn’t be one.

But given the larger history of textual communication, full punctuation is normal. Texting isn’t charged per character so it’s not like there’s a benefit to leaving it out.

First off, thanks for humoring me.

As I explained later in the post, “Great.” looks like sarcasm. My brain interprets it as having a sarcastic tone, and thus being passive aggressive. (I am not alone in this, hence the very thing we’re commenting on.)

I get that it’s a common interpretation amongst a demographic.

You might as well ask why tone of voice changes the way we interpret things

Eh, vocal changes carry actual physical changes in the sound waves which non-hearing-impaired persons can perceive, so I don’t quite think it’s an apt comparison. But I understand your intent in doing so.

But of course these norms aren’t as readily understood as actual tone of voice, which is why things like “/s” can be useful.

Precisely why it seems odd to me to interpret the use of the basic of punctuation whose literary meaning hasn’t ever carried an absence of express indicator of emotional intent to be negative.

Again, thanks for engaging with me on it, even though I still don’t get it.

Thanks.

and my dad replies, “Great.” That looks passive aggressive

What about it makes it look passive aggressive? How would excluding punctuation make it not look passive aggressive?

All Pixelfed content is discoverable and followable up on Mastodon and has the benefit of allowing more attachments per post than Mastodon. So I would think for OPs use case of pushing media-focused content, without really needing the account to consume other peoples’ content, Pixelfed is a decent choice.
