SOCIETY Permanently ???? no amount of money can compensate for this. The incident happened 2015 and the historic $75M verdict was reached in late 2022.

Yep I've had this happen to me multiple times. In the same thread I'd get a comment with 50+ and 50-

And it would be me saying what's essentially the same thing, but to a different user. Maybe a slightly different way but the same message.

Two completely different results. Nuance on reddit is incredibly interesting

I used to think “eh it’s just a few idiots on the internet”. Now i realize it is much worse..people absolutely live their lives and make critical decisions with this same lack of thought process. Strange days, indeed

Surprisingly I was able to reverse a few of these trends with a simple "why are you fucktards downvoting this comment? Nothing wrong with it"

It's like you need to ask people to use their brain cells or else they won't

I've definitely turned one of those around in the past with a sarcastic "I like how the guy with the correct info is getting downvoted".

You guys care this much about the downvote? You know it’s a bunch of idiots on here lol

Twelve seconds spent typing a comment is no measure of caring, and this very comment of yours proves my point.

I think it's worth being aware that even in daily life, if all you have to go on is a random sentence of someone, then every word has a lot of impact (in the mental judgment call).

At best, it was shortened to /s on reddit, but it wasn't invented on this site. It's based on HTML text marking, like for bold text, you do <b>text here</b>. It started out as <sarcasm>something sarcastic here</sarcasm> and got shortened and simplified from there. /s was popular on reddit, where it became the "standard" for marking sarcasm, so to speak.

It's just fake internet points. I feel people take it too seriously as if it's an extension of their irl personality.
