    Don’t talk shit about people behind their back. It always has a way of getting out because it’s clearly how you feel when their is no filter in place.

      I used to talk shit people to their face and compliment them behind their back. Thought it was cool. Anyways, didn’t work at the workplace.

        It’s better to say ‘‘Yes’’ and fail then to say ‘‘No’’ and succeed. Presentation is everything in a workplace.

          LOL yeah that’s how you end up with more work responsibility for the same pay. Fuck that.

          Join a union and say “no” without fear.

            One good tactic for this is when someone asks you to do something, say yes, but give them the next step action items.

    Derek sounds like a real one. That poster lacks so much situational awareness they’d fall into an open manhole like in a cartoon.

    Shitposting is just pretending to be stupid/racist/shitty for laughs/attention, right? Pretty low form of humor, if you ask me (no one did), but I’m also guessing a lot of shitposters aren’t just pretending.

    I like a laugh as much as the next person, but we can’t sit around going “Why are people in this country so fucking stupid/racist/shitty?” while simultaneously elevating “acting” stupid to some high form of humor. You see how that’s counterproductive, right?

    “Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

      I don’t think it is that people are saying shitposting is a higher form of humor, but that it requires a level of trust that you know the people you’re shitposting with know you and know you’re joking. Lack of that leads to your second quote.

        That’s totally fair, and I agree with you. I probably shouldn’t have used the phrase “high form of humor”. I more meant “worthwhile form of humor”. Even that doesn’t really encapsulate what I mean.

        I don’t know. It can be hard to separate brainrot from intelligent comedy, and I laugh at both, myself. I’m not the comedy police or anything, I just don’t want to end up here:

    Be careful who you trust and only post things online that you wouldn’t mind everyone in your life seeing. Never trust the internet.

    If my group chats got leaked they would just think we were all idiots who love vehicles and watching people get hurt or make really dark jokes.

    Nothing really personal other than always posting really cringe crap and then tagging someone who we know it’ll piss off and telling them that it reminded us of them.

    Yeesh

      OP gave away the game when they mentioned that they like to boast about trolls they’ve accomplished or whatever.

      Cringe shit. I bet that chat was just full of awful shit and as bad as the OP sounds, he’s actually downplaying it in an attempt to save face.

    LOL private chat with 8 people.

    You don’t even need a Derek, all you have to do is have one of the 8 perceive that they are being wronged. One’s mate makes googly eyes at another, next thing you know, it’s all public.

    Never post anything anywhere if it ever getting out will fuck you.

    Nothing is private and you should strive to be the kind of person that doesn’t say shit about other people behind their backs.
