People crying about Nintendo Online pricing. First off, it's for an entire year, not by monthly, so I don't know how that's a negative. That's just an example.

i know you didn't mean this in a literal way but you challenged me to find anything you complain about and it was literally your 2nd latest post on pemmy where you complained about worker's miscalibrated tools. this is just peak irony to me

And I don’t mean expressing distaste for something when it’s relevant to the discussion.

I don't personally find that post complainy in the way I was talking about. It's frustrating and kind of funny. I don't sense any negative vibe there at all.

The kind of complaining I'm talking about is the exhausting kind to be around. Even there I express my frustration but also say I have a solution for the problem.

Pointing out everything wrong with the world without offering anything even remotely like a sustainable, realistic alternative is incredibly unproductive

Ofcourse I too complain sometimes. I just try not to but I'm not perfect.
