Yup, there it is. My family qualified for food stamps, I've been homeless myself for a time, yet I'm a wealthy elite now, b/c someone on the internet didn't agree with what I said. Surely I never ever ever have to fear the rise of the "alternative facts" crowd here, b/c unlike Reddit we rise above such things on Lemmy.

Apparently I'm a dude as well - until someone decides that my tone isn't "masculine" enough I guess?

I can be whatever you all want me to be!? But fuck all that noise, I think I'd rather just be me:-P. I'll do it alone if I have to, but I'll sleep well at night all the same.

“His family built this country by the way” was a reference to an episode of The Office, where a character pretends his name is Buttlicker and says that line. Pretty sure it wasn’t about you being an elite or any of that.

It's not like they have fallen into a koi pond.

It’s not about falling into the koi pond, it’s about how long it takes to get out

Thanks. There was no /s, but I upvoted it (before you said this even) all the same - it somehow managed to come across humorous despite the lack of context? :-P

Edit: for anyone else: video clip.

Because I'm awkward and lack any originality, if I say something odd, probably it's just me quoting some tv show/game/book/comercial/back of a salsa tin can.

I wish I had original thoughts, but too much TV as a child and my nickel licking passion killed enough neurons.

In the scale of masculinity I'll say you're between 3 and 75. I may say more, but may I need to see you struggle with a DIY repair enough that your pride may lead you to an early grave.
