Religion doesn’t count. We’re on Lemmy, so neither does communism.

Sometimes it takes just as much effort to be kind as to be cruel.

Like, some video game, public chat, someone says like "these poison monkeys are so fast. They keep killing me".

Someone replies "skill issue".

Like ok big lol I understood that reference, but also like... Why? Now the monkey victim feels mocked. Could just as easily said "I hear you bro. Those monkeys are jerks".

Could also just say nothing.

I feel like sometimes too many people are stuck acting like insecure 14 year olds.
