Lol I’m very aware

No fair enough it just rubs me the wrong way haha

My tenets are:

1. no one will post on lemmy.world without getting prior approval from me
2. At a minimum every second comment should end in some sort of praise of me
3. No posting on Thursdays
4. You accidentally posted something I didn’t like? Tough shit your wife and family are now hostage

I know I just find it to be such a manufactured corporate tagline that exists to be used in this way and it rubs me the wrong way

Yes didn’t you get my handout?

Please no redditisms or else I will literally die of cringe o( ❛ᴗ❛ )o
