Posts of people not realising the person they’re talking to, is the person they’re talking about.

Acceptable examples include:

Discussions on any topic are encouraged but arguements are not welcome in this community. Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.

The posts here are not original content, the poster is not OP and doesn’t necessarily agree with or condone the views in the post. The poster is not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

Rules:

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Censor any identifying info of private individuals in the posts. This includes surnames and social media handles.
  4. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  5. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum. If you wish to discuss how this community is run please comment on the stickied post so all meta conversations are in one place.
  6. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  7. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  8. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  9. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

That's not only stupid, that sounds fucking illegal.

Well yeah, but if you were in the middle of nowhere Oklahoma working at a pharmacy, and some maybe sketchy sounding doctor told you to fill a prescription for Arnold Schwarzenegger, wouldn't you be a little suspicious?

"Suspicious", yeah. "Immediately making assumptions and then effing someone over", no. I wouldn't have been dumb enough to not investigate. Hell, if it wasn't them, it could make a great story. "Yeah, my dad named me Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's hell, but it's also kinda great?"

Maybe he should put his name down as "Anthony Hawk" in cases like that.

Or use the first name "Mike"
