  • I’m pretty similar. I’m probably more generous with upvotes. I’ll also downvote:

    • any link without a description
    • YouTube links
    • Twitter reposts (that’s usually on reddit, though)

    I have to force myself not to downvote anything with anime. I have a visceral dislike for anime, probably a result of the shitty afternoon TV cartoon lineup in the 70s.

    I block a LOT of accounts. Anything that looks like ragebait or just arguing in bad faith.



  • The premium version has gotten a LOT better in recent months. I just fed it,

    “you can’t soothe a tree” meaning

    And it replied with: This phrase is not a standard idiom with a widely recognized meaning. Its interpretation depends on the context in which it is used. Literally, it means you cannot comfort or calm a tree in the way you would a sentient being, as trees do not possess emotions or consciousness that can be “soothed”. Metaphorically, it likely means:

    • Some entities (problems, situations, perhaps even certain people) are unresponsive to attempts at emotional comfort or calming.
    • Trying to apply emotional solutions or appeals to things that are inherently non-emotional or unchangeable is futile.
    • It could describe someone who is extremely stoic, impassive, or emotionally unavailable. The specific meaning depends heavily on the situation where the phrase was encountered.
