Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Yeah, when it’s the social norm to greet someone and not talk about personal issues, it’s very strange to be asked “how’s it going,” and not respond “good” or “not bad” as you have been for years as an automated response.
Takes time to realize that the person asking that isn’t making small talk, but is trying to help and it’s a genuine question.
There are sooooooo many people who will respond very seriously to a slight changeup of your wording.
For example if you say “how is today treating you?” They tell you, like 60% of the time. In great detail.
It short circuits their brain and skips pleasantry mode.
It’s fucking fascinating to use as an opener.
Fuck all that shit, most of the time I answer anyone who asks how I'm going honestly. If you ask how I'm doing, you get to hear about my finances, what video game I've been playing, or how my partner is doing.
