When I get bored with the conversation/tired of arguing I will simply tersely agree with you and then stop responding. I’m too old for this stuff.
Sure, at the surface level of tweeting back and forth, there is nothing vile. But the very act of using the platform funds an agent of chaos that is doing very real harm, and to ignore that because it is inconvenient is at the most charitable interpretation a selfish and callous act. There are other means of discourse, and those with input that is valuable will follow you.
Maybe, just maybe, if your followers aren’t willing to give up something vile because it’s giving them a dopamine hit, they’re not adding as much value to your life as you think.
Username (of poster, not OP) checks out.
But without a Joestar to do it for you, could you handle the Pillar Men yourself? 🤔
Not sure why you’re being downvoted… You nailed it, man.
Well, you certainly get points for consistency.
Maybe that’s what it is for you
This seems like the same logic those people who keep a relative’s corpse around for years to keep collecting their social security checks use…
Always someone taking their fandom too seriously I guess.
Also Trump is still an actual candidate and people are rightfully terrified. That does things to people’s sarcasm detectors.
Then there are the people who recognize it’s a joke/sarcasm and just think it’s too serious to joke about, and they’re entitled to their opinion. It IS serious, but I will never allow that to get in the way of a joke.
Is it too late to elect Trump and end democracy?
This is less of a brag and more a question for the philosoraptor.
Edit: Apologies… didn’t even notice that loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works beat me to this observation.
Untrue. I grew up on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show.
Absolutely. You usually don’t need a whole step-by-step 40 minute walkthrough anyway. You need help with a SPECIFIC step and it’s MUCH easier to scroll through a page or CTRL+F the part you need than try to scroll around a freaking youtube video that you can’t search unless you run it through a text transcriber. Not to mention the bandwidth and storage waste, the annoying, unclear voices, the sponsor ads…
I swear people learning most things from youtube videos either have COMPLETELY different brain wiring, or are just straight up insane.
Well, I guess that’s not fair… they might ALSO be lying about learning. That’s the hustle culture, I guess. Learning things is less important than the APPEARANCE of learning things.
It’s easy to say that when you’re an outside party who doesn’t understand or care about the underlying issues. Not to minimize the issue with the metaphor, but have you ever fought with a sibling or someone else at school and your disinterested parent our authority figure told you to both to stop without addressing any of either of your underlying problems? How well did it work?
Pretending that “just stop it” deals with the realities of a complex history of real grievances and legitimate causes for anger and retribution on both sides is the most magical of magical thinking, and it doesn’t help that third party negotiators usually start their peace proceedings by learning NOTHING about the history of distrust and anger building up over decades, picking a side to ride or die with, and then declaring the issue fixed as soon as someone signs an agreement.
Here’s to the Losers in my ass
