minus-squareilovecheese@feddit.ukOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·5 months agoI tried that kind of approach yesterday. Their response was to mock someone else on TV. I’ve mentioned it a couple of times now. Last time I told them even if they cant see the issue with it, it bothers me and other people, so cut it out. The response was something like “yeah other person says that to me too”. That’s when I start to wonder why I bothered.
