I'm totes with you on Frown, jwb. Recently he has tended to enter into discussions he clearly has a position on but doesn't feel like doing the hard work of arguing that position so he just kind of posts disruptive joke opinions that he doesn't feel the need to defend since they're obviously jokes but he still wants to insert himself into the discussion for ego's sake. Sounds like lazy egotism tbh.

In what way? Make an actual case for once and stop leaning on intentionally cryptic one liners to trick people into thinking there's some deep well of fresh water beneath the mud.

I don't even think he's joking

I think he's posturing in favor of an actual position he doesn't quite know how to defend rhetorically. He was just hoping he could brow beat the opposition into submission.

I have a friend who lives in South Korea. **** there is so ****ing cheep. You could get a really decent apartment for the price of a **** apartment. And they have been open since May because they took the virus seriously.

People there literally drop dead from working 80+ hours cause you're culturally expected to work overtime. I foeget what the condition is called but there's an actual name in South Korea for literally dying from over work and companies have been successfully sued over it.
