The last few posts made here, they’ve shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They’re a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

    If you’re getting that worked up about mild non-offensive inane comments I hate to imagine how worked up you get using a self-checkout machine. Chill out.

      Holy shit dude, have you used one?

      Please place item in bagging area. Are you using your own bags? [Yes]. Please wait for staff member to come over and give you permission to use your own bags. Would you like a receipt? [No]. Please take this 30 centimetre long piece of receipt paper that isn’t a receipt, it’s just printed with stuff you don’t want.

      I don’t think it’s justified getting all upset about a few comments, but if I saw an article about someone getting arrested for smashing a self-checkout machine then I’d assume the machine probably deserved it.

        It constantly thinks I’ve placed an improper amount of weight and I’m stealing. As if I’d steal at the most watched area of the store like a chump. And the attendant has to come over four times!

          It’s not like I put the chocolate bar in my pocket while I was standing at the self-checkout? Obviously I did that before going to the place with all the staff.

          And who’s gonna watch the video surveilance to make sure I didn’t scan my kumara in as onions?

      Once again, the issue is that none of them actually participated meaningfully in the discussion, just turned the thread into one big circle jerk.

      None of the individual comments were particularly bad, it’s the overall effect that is the issue.

          Not wanting to learn a tounge twister of a word to call an ambulance is racist? Or spell it out to every single time you give your address?

          It would be an ongoing hassle for the residents.

            you don’t know the word papa? kangaroo? horohoro is two sounds repeated once.

            you’re either the laziest or stupidest person in the world. my vote is both.

            or just a run of the mill, boring as fuck racist. I guess that’s actually my vote as you are entirely unimpressive and mediocre, not even the best at being stupid or lazy

              kangaroo

              Hi, not trying to start a fight but thought you might be interested; “kangaroo” has no relevance here.

              It’s ka-nga: “ka” - like the English word “car” but without the R - and “nga” which also rhymes with car and has a soft g like in the English word “sing”, not a hard g like in “kangaroo.”

              Nga might be a bit harder for you, but all kiwis know how to pronounce it, it’s the nga in common names like Ngaire and Ngati and “Tutira Mai Nga Iwi”.

              Would you be happy spelling that out every single time you need to give your address to someone?

              And what’s with the attitude?

                i’ve spelled it like five times now. oh god the horror my hands are falling off.

                “what’s with the attitude”

                is there a sealion emoji easily accessible?

                how would you like to spell “Acacia Avenue” if you called it papakangahorohoro?

                Weird claim since you seem to repeat things a lot, including repeating things I’ve said back to me. You talk exactly like the guy we’ve had an issue with on Lemmy.ml who keeps making alts with AI profile pics.
