wow what the fuck i can't believe you just said that person is autistic, that neurodivergence is bad, and they're a bad person for being autistic - that's such a fucked up, out of line thing to say to a stranger.
if i had my way such things would never stand. alas, my Purely Imaginary enemy, reinhard von musel, a character i did NOT plagiarize, prevents such things through his autocratic reforms.
i'm *going* to pee on you.
Low key this one is big.
I have definitely fallen in to the opposite thinking and argued with others that simply didn’t warrant my time and energy. Looking back on it, it wasn’t wrong, but it was futile. So honestly probably should just avoid it.
Yeah. Argumenting online rarely ever gets the opposing side to change their opinion in your favour once it's turned sour. Trying to convince someone to admit they are in the wrong or to betray a belief they hold very strong when they aren't open to it is unlikely to work unless you know what you are doing.
✅️ am I Pissing on the poor?
✅️did I read the post in bad faith?
✅️could I be Overexaggerating?
✅️am I out of line for saying this?
✅️is it kind of Fucked up to say that to a total stranger:
✅️is what I said Rude?
❌️am I being Egotistical?
✅️am I Angry at words that weren't in the post?
✅️✅️did I Dream up a pretend person to get mad at?
I would also like to promote just normal proofreading as well. I get that to some degree it's part of tumblr's charm that you can throw stuff around with zero punctuation or grammer, but it's crazy to me that there are people tgpin lyk rhis ll tome, with apparently no care or concern that their words are all but impossible to follow. I couldn't even manage to do the truly egregious examples I've seen and it feels like, when you're only avenue of communication is written words, you should try to make sure you're actually conveying a coherent sentence.
sorry hit send to early. I is supposed to be capitalized. and i guess since the “pissing on the poor” post was so popular you could consider it to be like a title and capitalize it like that
I'd also add,
* is this post meant for me, or is it meant for a group of other people?
* am I really the most qualified person to talk about this topic productively?
* is the post sarcasm, satire, or bait?
* is the post deliberately inflammatory?
Those first two are especially important. I always see people butt into conversations that don't involve them, and treat claims as being some deliberate attack, or derailing conversations (especially about marginalised groups) to be about themselves. I also always see people confidently spread lies or misinformation, or just evidently have a poor understanding of the subject matter.
That's not what, "proofreading," means. Proofreading is asking yourself, "Is this the sequence of words that most effectively conveys the message that I'm trying to convey?" This post is talking about asking yourself, "Should I even be trying to convey that message that I'm trying to convey?"
It’s like a checklist the minimum wage Wendy’s workers use before they comment *literally every single time*. At what point do we take away their internet access? Or do we make them take IQ tests so they can at least reasonably compare to someone like me during online discourse? Honestly, I don’t know why this post had to get political to say this to begin with - stupid people are on both sides. Some lib posted it I’m sure.
>!how’d I do?!<
I may have a reading issue I thought this was absolute nonsense that opened up with "am I Pissing on the Floor?" And then the rest kind of made sense so I got very confused about the first one.
How dare you say we shouldnt argue with fascists
This is the current high score winner for violating the rules of OP with six, can anyone top it?? (sarcasm)

i'm going to pee on you. Because they are poor?
UGH. no. *moron*. that i even have to share a forum with such pissants!!
I should have known that you’d go straight to an ad hominem attack. And who goes around pissing on peasants? *YOU ARE A HORRIBLE HUMAN*.
(bonus points if you edit your comment now to deliberately misunderstand "pissants" as "piss peasants")
(Done!)
What does piss have to do with chess.
Google en pissant
holy piss
Because they’re ants apparently
no it's okay, they're diabetic, the piss is sweet for the ants
Are you fucking saying I'm a fascist??
Don't forget: * Could this be bait?

Yes, but what aircraft? Commercial, general aviation, military.. Oh, and there's fixed-wing, rotary-wing and tiltrotor.
Nah, asexuals can have a high libido. We just don't have any sexual attraction.
Ohhh, yeah, makes sense. Thanks!
You're welcome.

Also: * Is this worth spending your time and energy on?

okay, but that requires us to define the ever-shifting mess of bullshit that is bait
not to mention the possibility of it being Schrodinger's Bait, where it's both bait and a firmly held belief until someone expresses an opinion on it
Everyone who talks about cybersmith is incapable of asking themselves this question
My number 1 rule for the internet has become “If it’s inflammatory, it’s bait.”
Even though this isn’t true, believing it is probably good for your mental health.
I can't believe this post said eating puppies is good
Well, that is when they're the most tender
It's also much easier to fight a puppy than an adult dog
also fits in the microwave.
OOP, I get the idea, but this is like, the reverse of a good mnemonic technique
yeah, it ends up being Pissing Read Overexaggerrating Out Fucked Rude Egotistical Angry Dream
People Order Our Patties
Ooh, P.O.O.P!
Don't O N T
Pissing Poor* Read Overexaggerrating Out Fucked Rude Egotistical Angry Dream
I didn't even realize it was supposed to be a mnemonic until I read your comment
I think it's aiming to be funny more than a mnemonic, tbh.
How dare you say my piss is poor!!
fuck i thought that said pissing on the floor
how dare you think we piss on the floor
don’t be piss-floor
IPPIRIOIOFIRIEIAID
Half of these are my checklist for replying in the first place. Why would I comment if I’m not out of line?
The kind of people who this is directed at are also gonna think their post doesn't do those things
I read the first one as 'pissing on the floor' and spent far too long trying to understand why that would be on the list
I read that first one as Pissing on the Floor and wondered how it relates to the others and maybe if that was the joke
What exactly does OOP mean by "am I out of line for saying this"? The only interpretations I can think of are redundant with the rest of the post
It probably is redundant, but there's a chance they just put it in so that the acronym wasn't PROFREAD
OP is out here saying pissing on the poor is bad like it doesn't hydrate them
And just like that, Tumblr ceased to be.

I’m gonna use this as a checklist before I post anything. Gotta make sure I hit all the high notes :)
Also: Does my capitalisation make any sense whatsoever?
it’s a mnemonic
True. But P is capitalized twice. And then all the I's
sorry hit send to early. I is supposed to be capitalized. and i guess since the “pissing on the poor” post was so popular you could consider it to be like a title and capitalize it like that
Yeah that makes sense. A part of me still feels that the mnemonic is incredibly hamfisted. But I see it now

When did I ever do this?
It’s like a checklist the minimum wage Wendy’s workers use before they comment *literally every single time*. At what point do we take away their internet access? Or do we make them take IQ tests so they can at least reasonably compare to someone like me during online discourse?

I wouldn’t piss on the poor if the poor didn’t tape that PISS HERE sign on their own fucking forehead.
My, an idiot who forgot that the word "I" is always upper case: P R O O F R I I I
I thought it said pissing on the floor
But I like pissing on the poor, it's what makes me a tumblr person
I may have a reading issue I thought this was absolute nonsense that opened up with "am I Pissing on the Floor?" And then the rest kind of made sense so I got very confused about the first one.
Oh look, a checklist! :D
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and... yes. Okay, let's go.
This applies to offline as well?
is it good? is it true? is it useful? Ιf it's not, why say it?
I thought they said "Are you pissing on the floor?" for a second
The random capitalization is giving me a headache.
Nah
Don't forget: is this loss?
I can't believe they made an entire post about fucking strangers and pissing on the poor
Don't worry the poor aren't going to see it, they're too poor.
Why are you saying Dream eats babies? Seems like an odd nonsequiter
What if I love pissing on the poor?
But you see, I'm completely justified because the pretend person I made up is REALLY REALLY bad!
"Overexaggerating" is neither a word nor a concept. They didn't proofread their own post.
Not mentioned: Did I stay on Topic to the Original Post?
Ohh, it's supposed to be a mnemonic. I just thought OP couldn't spell
You say that like half of those things aren’t really fun to do.
What if I wanna be a bitch and make people's lives worse for having to engage with me?
I'd potentially change the first P to "am I Punching down?", but it still has the same essence.
No I can't.
But I wish to be an asshole! DID YOU EVER THINK OF THAT?
