I have had a different life from you. I've been homeless, I've been wealthy, I've lived in many cultures and communities from suburbs to communes. I've worked tech I've worked as day labor moving soil by hand. I guarantee you that language (and especially the use of curse words), varies wildly.
- kristiandupont 3y agoI have lived in many countries and had a wide variety of jobs and life situations as well. You are not impressing anyone with your knowledge about cultural nuance, everybody knows that any sentence can be interpreted in many different ways. And everybody that argues in good faith also knows that saying "fuck you" on Twitter, to someone that you don't have any rapport with, is going to be interpreted as an insult.
- grimgoldgo 3y agoI disagree, I think of tweets as nothing - air, fluff, someone expressing themselves without thinking. If someone tweets fuck you at me I'm not insulted, it's such a low effort post why would it ever even be parsed by me into anything meaningful? It's like being insulted because someone farted at the hotel you were staying at. It's of so little consequence it cannot possibly be an insult. It's incredible to see HN lose their minds because someone sent a two word tweet with a curse word in it, lol. A tweet.
- blindriver 3y agoFuck you. EDIT: Just to clarify, I didn't mean that pejoratively, I actually meant it in the supportive context as in: "Fuck you, I support you."
- grimgoldgo 3y agoHeh, rules.
- blindriver 3y agoF___ you. EDIT: Sorry again. This time, I did use it pejoratively, so I edited it out for possible vulgarity.
- grimgoldgo 3y agoHeh, still rules.
