Why not pick one of the answers provided when you're clearly in a made up scenario?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Because I've got infinity time to argue when I'm in a made-up scenario.

Okay, this does bother me because embellished? Sure. Made up? This is entirely believable.

Not to mention, this specific meme is ooold as fuuuck.

[briefly checks if this scenario is real]

To clarify: By believable, I don't mean real. I mean not worthy of suspicion.

But "made up" doesn't imply unbelievable, just not real in the specific instance. While based on very believable interaction, it's pretty likely this specific interaction is indeed made up

It can. You've gotta read between people's words.

Mostly, it just bothers me that the r/thathappened crowd spend so much time trying to get the upper hand on instagram influencers, and so little time actually engaging with the content.

You can make a point about how such and such behavior is just fine, actually, and it glances off their head like it were steel armor because the meme isn't real.

You’re right. I don’t think I’m like that, but I do need to be a little more self critical about chiming in with a that happened response.

Oh! It's so rare that someone is just like "I agree, thank you!" I'm sure you're doing all right.

And then rocks fell and everyone was albert einstein.
