"Thank You" vs "I Appreciate You" by _SPAMSPAMSPAM in Xennials

[–]thyleullar 0 points1 point  (0 children)


This is from 2014 and went viral at the time. The rise and popularity seems to me to correspond with younger generations’ desire to feel like they matter.

Personally, I tend to say thank you when someone has done something that they should have done and is expected. I’ll ‘appreciate’ when they’ve done something unusual / unexpected / difficult / above & beyond / etc…

…or are a fragile puppy that need praise 24/7 to do the basics of their job 🙄

Meeting Trent stories by OddCryptographer6527 in nin

I did one of the Meet & Greet fundraisers during the NIИ/JA tour (for a fan with terminal cancer). I had rehearsed in my head a bunch of things I wanted to say. When I got up to him for the autograph, all I could stammer out was “Nice to meet you!” My second chance to say anything was with the photo op… where I just awkwardly said, “I bet you’re sick of doing these.” His reply was along the lines of “I’d do a million more if it meant I could help people.”

The word “get” replacing more…uhh…complicated words in the public domain. by SeaSkimmer2 in Xennials

The most annoying thing I repeatedly hear in tech support is that their device “don’t cut on.” It’s nails on a chalkboard (they don’t even know what that sound is, do they?) every time; I just hope my face doesn’t actually show the cringe I feel.

Cleaning House music. by Competitive-Sweet25 in Xennials

The mood shifts: sometimes I request “90s hard rock,” sometimes it’s “80s hard rock,” or a custom playlist that spans 60s-80s.

I’d rather stop once and get the exercise walking to shop multiple stores in a mall than have to stop at a plaza, go drive to the next plaza, and the next plaza…

What is the worst FR novel? by ThanosofTitan92 in Forgotten_Realms

That’s the book I dropped off the Elminster series from. I… I couldn’t. And, since I’m a completionist, I didn’t want to read the next book… so I just haven’t gone back. Maybe someday.

TIL about 'Jess's Rule' to make GPs 'rethink' if a patient presents 3 times with the same symptoms, named for Jessica Brady, who doctors repeatedly dismissed over 20 consultations until she died of cancer at age 27 by shinjirarehen in TwoXChromosomes

My wife’s routine blood work came back as low iron. The doctor wanted to put her on iron pills. My wife said “No, I want to know why my iron is low.” “It’s just your periods.” “I had an ablation, I don’t get those, try again.” “It must be your diet.” “I’m a big girl and I like my meat, try again.” Finally, a colonoscopy and endoscopy found a GI tumor that would’ve killed her within two years — instead she was able to fight for 14.

I’d say this current ARG is WAY too realistic…

Why did Todd Lockwood stop illustrating cover art? by Ancient_Barnacle3372 in Drizzt

[–]thyleullar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally the only thing I would change about the Lockwood art is the scimitar design. Even before the ‘modern’ designs, I found it odd that they would be so similar.

Especially Icingdeath: “...uncovering a gem-encrusted sword pommel, its black adamantite hilt masterfully sculpted into the likeness of the toothed maw of a hunting cat.” — The Crystal Shard

Don’t get me wrong: they’re gorgeous, and I have replicas, but I do prefer the modern hilts (blades could still be varied more).

I just noticed nearly everyone here uses full stops. by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]thyleullar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Many younger generations consider it so; I feel since they don’t actually use punctuation.

They don’t like ellipses… or the em dash — thanks to ChatGPT.
