Look, buddy, if you think jerking off while playing Baldur’s Gate 3 is “nothing” that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
You get the memes you deserve!
Wasn’t there some famous quote that went something like “the three things to fear are a moonless night, the sea in storm and the wrath of a gentle man”?
The B-plot in Ender’s Game tells a compelling story of a couple of young adults nefariously posting their way straight into the Presidency. People want to believe this is how real life works so badly. They’ll watch a plutocrat elevated by other plutocrats into an office historically held by plutocrats and conclude “Shitposters on the internet did this”.
But to be fair Ender’s Game was written in 1985, before the modern internet.
Shockingly accurate depiction of what bloggers think they’re doing
If worked out pretty well for Curtis Yarvin, unfortunately.
For Theil, maybe. Howard Lutnick, definitely. But Yarvin and CatTurd2 are both just stuck bitching on the sidelines.
I mean with LLM’s it’s not hard to have an arbitrary amount of bots posing as users pushing a false consensus on political issues.
It’s even easier when the bot accounts are used to falsify advertising data.
You had me in the first half there.
Surprise anyone who calls themselves a “nice guy” was never actually nice.
They always say shit like “at least I don’t hit her” or “at least I’m not an alcoholic” while missing that those qualities are a given.
I think it’s a form of narcissism where they can’t handle that their personality is shitty so they project it into the world. They have to use outlandish examples because they’re not such hot catches themselves.
What else would I call myself? I mean, if someone says “hey, what type of guy are you?” Am I supposed to dance around the word “nice” because someone coined a social media buzzword for it mean “guy who thinks hes owed a blow job for holding a door open”?
So now when someone asks: “What type of guy are you?” and you just stick the nikes on and:
hey, what type of guy are you?
I’ve never been asked that question without some context like food or music. I don’t know why anyone would ask that in a sense of “are you a nice guy or an asshole?” There’s just no way to be sure you’re getting a useful answer: many people think of themselves as nice, some have self-esteem issues and put themselves down instead and very few are actually genuine assholes and unashamed to admit as much.
So if someone were to ask me that without context? I’d respond “what do you mean?”
My 7th grade English teacher didn’t let our class use the word “nice.” She considered it a lazy word, one easily replaceable by a variety of adjectives without any meaning being lost. Every time we thought to use the word “nice,” we were challenged to explore our vocabulary and come up with something more fitting and descriptive.
Therefore, the argument that there is no better word to describe one’s self than “nice” is weak. English is a rich language full of diverse vocabulary, much of which carries more powerful meanings than “nice.” If 12 year olds could do it, I’m sure you could too.
My english teacher did the same this about the verb “to be” or “is”. If you used it you lost a grade off your paper. He was and probably still is a bit of an ass.
“Went” for mine lol
Fine! Consider me a gentleman.
Ill take things that didnt happen for 1000, Alex…
But lets role play this, and see if we can say something other than “nice” that doesnt make the person look like a fucking prick that sniffs their own farts.
“What type of guy are you?”
“I am a debonair guy!” = A prick.
“I am a winsome guy!” = A prick that will buy you lunch.
“I am a Pulchritudinous guy!” = A prick that doesnt just huff his own farts, but expects you to huff them as well directedly from his arsehole while he fucks your sister.
“I am an Amiable guy.” = Not a prick, but a push over. And you will treat him like hes a prick.
“I am a Blandishing guy!” = A prick that says nice things.
Using these words over “nice”, clouds the meaning rather than clarifying it. It tells me the person Im speaking to values impression over clarity of communication, and instead of conveying honesty, tells me they wish to project that they are superior. Its performance. Vain theatre that confuses style with substance. And ultimately tells me that the person isnt being honest about who they are or what they want from me.
Or to put it another way, if “I pride myself on possessing an innately benignant disposition. A temperament both debonair and complaisant, such that those acquainted with my congenial sensibilities frequently remark upon the winsome, even pulchritudinous, quality of my gracious interactions, which, I daresay, are nothing short of blandishing in their amiable intent.” is preferable to you than “Im a nice guy.”. Then you are fucking weird as fuck. Or should I say, “One cannot help but observe that your existential frequency oscillates at such an aberrantly non-Euclidean register of comportment that the very geometry of ordinary human temperament appears to bend, quiver, and ultimately collapse beneath the centrifugal absurdity of your personhood.”.
Ill take being direct and simple over being a performative prick any of the day of the week.
“I’ll take being direct and simple”, proceeds to overexplain point to the point of absurdity.
But also have you ever had a real conversation? What context would you be saying, “I’m a nice guy” and not be able to give any elaboration?
Also also calling yourself nice is kinda sketch anyway. Obviously you wouldn’t call yourself a dick if you weren’t one; so either you’re lying, oblivious or think the other person isn’t able to form an accurate opinion of you themselves (these aren’t exclusive). Nice is a word best used to describe someone else.

Okay, this has to be like one of the best trolls I’ve ever seen, right? Claiming to be a nice guy and then like 3 comments later calling someone else a “spoon eating cunt” is a just incredible.
Right? I actually can’t stop laughing, it’s so well done I can’t tell if it’s an intentional troll or if they are really this braindead.
Edit: checked the comment history, pretty sure they’re essentially a nazi.
Does being nice mean thats all you are? Does being nice mean you suffer dickheads? Does being nice mean that youre just a pushover, that takes peoples shit? Treat me like a cunt, I do the same to you. Its not fucking rocket science. Yet here you all are, clutching your fucking pearls, because Im pushing back against the bullying.
Who knew that your version of nice guy was a door mat…
Looks like this whole discussion is moot. Turns out, the reason Benny can’t use the word “nice” to describe themself is because they aren’t nice. lol
Ad hominem
It was a lot more than that. And you deserved every syllable… A syllable is a unit of spoken language, by the way.
Here, Ill explain it to you. The person I replied to said that using simple words like “nice” was lazy, and that people should use lots of big words instead. I, took issue with that, and expressed it by with malicious compliance. ie, being wildly over the top in doing what was asked. Are you getting it now? Do you see the joke yet? Do you really not get the point I was making?
If you’re legitimately worried about someone asking you that exact question (which is sort of an odd phrasing, I don’t think it would happen often) and you’re worried it would be done by people who don’t know you well, just talk about a hobby or something.
- What type of guy are you?
- For work I do blah, for play I do blah, and I’m really into hobby.
Or, and hear me out, we could just not assume that some saying they are nice is a cunt because social media turned into it a clickable buzzword? Judge people by their actions, not whatever dogshit you were told was a red flag by some sad pathetic loser who does nothing all day but hate everything and anyone.
“Hes a nice guy!” is something people often say about others. Its not a trick, its a not a trap, and its not code for cunt. If someone is a cunt, just call them a cunt. Its easy.
Don’t worry I don’t think you’re a cunt because you describe yourself as nice. It’s because you’re acting like a cunt.
Yes, judging people by their actions instead of forcing social media buzzword bullshit on them, totally makes me a cunt… Good luck on getting those worthless up arrows for adding nothing to conversation.
Am I not judging you based on your actions? You overtly insult anyone who disagrees with you. You avoid any opportunity to have a rational argument in good faith by making obvious logical fallacies and not responding to the actual points being made.
I suspect it’s caused by various insecurities, and you’re projecting heavily. Case in point: I don’t give a fuck about up arrows, but you assume that’s the reason why I’m commenting. So that assumption is likely because you care about getting them. And since you fail to get them, rather than admit when you’re wrong you lash out.
It’s really funny, because the best and easiest way to win this argument over me is to now admit you were wrong. And I can can explicitly state that. And still I know you won’t do it.
The more you comment the more you sound like a nice guy.
Im sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that voice you hear when you read my words, is your own…

This one isn’t really fair. If you put anything in this meme format it’s going to sound like that.
And the purpose of creating this was… what exactly???
“hey, what type of guy are you?”
I’m a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.
What type of guy are you?
I’m an average dude.
Yo you must be a pretty cool guy. Even in the darkest timeline you’re still averaged. (/~s does this work as an anti-sarcasm marker? Was worried that sounded sarcastic, it markedly was not)
Ah, I see what my autocorrect overzealously did. Fixed.
I just say that I’m the worst.
He’s the jokah baby
I’ve been to The School of Hard knocks, The University of Life, and Facebook jail. Be very afraid
Precisely
I think its a little early still.

Meanwhile, War Thunder players be leaking classified documents on vehicles to prove that it isn’t modeled correctly in-game.
Based behavior, they do it for the love of the game and being correct in online arguments.
isn’t this the better outcome
dressing up in trench coats and shooting up their school is much worse
or attacking a church
I mean I’ll take a stack of edgelordy over one tumblrina or Blue Skyer.
at some point when the armed armored squad busts down your door you will miss “the nice guy”
