Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I love this thought, but something has always bothered me about the phrase "living rent free in x head"

I can't even explain why I just hate it

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 49 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So the phase "living rent free in my head" is living rent free in your head.

I'm not here to tell you you're wrong, but go fuck yourself, friend.

edit: In my defense, I only really get upset about it when I see it, other than that the phrase is chillin somewhere.

You still may be right tho

I know just what you mean, but also it sounds like poetry compared to "Ohio skibidi rizz."

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

You're not wrong lol

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Say what now? What is that supposed to mean?

[–] Bear_pile@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Rizz = charisma Ohio = bad Ohio skibbiddy rizz = you look like a fool and don't even realize how foolish you are

[–] irreticent@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, I'd never heard that before. Kids these days.

Straight bussin' frfr

I believe “skibidi” also has undertones of sketchiness/untrustworthiness/scumminess

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That phrase doesn't bother me, but I can understand the sentiment. People tend to use the same "clever" phrases over and over, and when there is a phrase you don't particularly like, you end up hating it after the 100th time.

In my case, it's "looking at you, X" where X is not a person. E.g. "I'm looking at you, Unity framework!"

Or whenever there is a post about a wholesome prank, someone will always comment "See? This is a good prank. Nobody got hurt, everyone laughs." At this point, I'm inclined to think that people deliberately do it as a version of "First post!!"
