I can imagine a social butterfly looking down on nerds. Although I gotta level with you: that sounds like something that would primarily occur in high school to me. Maybe you're grown and still dealing with that, but either way: using the term normies is not going to help at all, I assure you.

That's neither here nor there and sidesteps the point. Also, depending on how you define normies and nerds, it's a bit silly. You can't imagine a random person being worked up by being called names online. I mean, okay, if you say so.

Have someone refer to you as a normie and lmk if it feels neutral or derogatory.

And by commenting this, you're now on top with the superiority complex, lol. Getting to feel superior to both of us, bravo.

Yeah, OP was for sure putting people down with this meme. You're arguing in bad faith here, putting aside the very obvious for the sake of having an argument.

Using the term "normies" paints you as having a superiority complex, which isn't the best look.

I'd never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn't install the app on her laptop because of it.

I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.

You seem irritable. Maybe it's withdrawl, eh?

[–] tory@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

Wow, you remember vivid dreams. That's clearly withdrawl.

....In the most technical sense, only. You're technically correct, the best form of correct. Which is pretty much the definition of pedantry.

That's about it. I am getting a good amount of pushback from people who very much like the idea that being able to dream again and not being high are withdrawl.

And sure, they're all technically correct in the most pedantic way.
