What company is ok with their COO saying shit like this next to their name?

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 29 points 5 months ago

Probably self-proclaimed COO of an MLM she sells shit for.

Shouldn’t it be „me neither“?

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes it should. Kind of in the same way that it should be "I couldn't care less" instead of "I could care less" which I've seen a lot more in recent years.

Bernie said “could care less” in his response to the sotu last night. Made me cringe.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Literally just talking about that! I agree that the original intent (and, you know, meanings of words) should make it "couldn't" but I think the two have linguistically drifted together within the phrase.

The rules-boy in me rallies against it, but the descriptivist in me celebrates and I couldn't care less how he said it.

Wittgenstein said that language isn't actually semantic in its natural state. Instead, language serves as a sort of game to accomplish social ends.

"I could care less" serves the social end of telling everyone you have no critical thinking skills and shouldn't be taken seriously.

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Lol, that second thought boomed me pretty good, thanks

Lol.

On a slightly more serious note, it makes dry humor a bit harder to land since you can't rely on subtlety as much. Like "I could care less about my SO" in context where it's the punchline of a misdirection joke.

Such is life though.

Girrrlll, you a nazi.

Maaaaannn, I love not being a Nazi.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Girrrlllll, it's so brave that you shared that information about yourself in public on the Internet next to a picture of your IRL face.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 24 points 5 months ago

Both of those have multiple other uses, good and bad. Maaan is used for amazement and girrrl is used for incredulity.

I think it probably has far more to do with phonetics and the ways different sounds carry emotion than with the gender identity we insist upon associating with specific words

Looks like a solo marketing op, she dating/married to that guy?

Actually, I don't care. Nor do I care about her name or whatever. Let her live in peace.
