I was just stirring the pot, and I love this response

A lot of fridges are made to go both ways. You have to attach the handle and the hinge when you get it. A lot of fridges will have two plugs on the other side to cover the unused bolt holes

Yeah, this sounds like a good prank: it messes with their muscle memory, but it’s otherwise harmless

Man, any narrative that avoids talking about gun control

I got here too late, and ngl, I feel like I missed a joke I would have liked.

Please, be reasonable:

return post.Contains("Twitter") || post.Contains("elon") ?  "loser" : "cool"; 

Mine is just running stock, but depending on what you’re trying to do with it I could imagine that a few things might not be palatable to some.

1. The read only by default file system
2. It kinda nukes everything on the system on update
3. So much of how it handles the Linux side user profiles depends on there only being the default user

But it would make the rich richer, which makes it a good bet. I think the only thing that would stop private companies being allowed to develop beachfront property in the strip is if it were to turn out to be less profitable.

But that’s true of all governments that aren’t really looking out for their people.

The headline doesn’t say that

I know this is what-about-ism but I really wish we cared half as much about Meta having already destabilized the last two presidential elections.

I don’t think I’ve hated reading something I so emphatically agreed with before

For what it’s worth, at no point was I trying to misinterpret what you’re saying. I actually, really, appreciate your thoughts on this. I don’t entirely agree with your tactic, but I get it.

Mostly, I think you friendly fire regularly. Sometimes, I really think people don’t get what you mean, because there was ambiguity. Sometimes you attack someone before they’ve made a point to disagree with. In this particular thread, the whole thing started with:

Care to share any evidence towards the kicks being triggered by olfactory overload?

Maybe I’m assuming good intent, but I don’t see a reason to assume that’s someone doubting you, over someone looking for some reading on cats. I made fun of you for you calling him ignorant with a copy and paste of a message you used on me, and I definitely didn’t have a point in the argument, and I definitely don’t see how any amount of reading comprehension of your earlier messages would have gotten me to a place of understanding that you were trying to out belligerent me.

I would argue that asking for clarification or examples is not inherently disingenuous. It can be, but it’s also a requirement for healthy discussion. You are equally punishing well-intentioned curiosity. I suspect you maybe enjoy being abrasive more than your explanation accounts for… but I get that it’s sort of a bit, and you’re doing okay.

I’m slightly concerned that you’ll push people away from the platform. The kind of trolling you’re doing is really hard to distinguish from the kind of trolling that makes Internet forums only really accessible to able bodied cis white males

Your go-to seems to be some real ableist bullshit. This thread was about cats, and I’m not exactly sure we need to gatekeep it to people who hold up to your expectations for debating acumen.

I know you’ll respond with some ad hominem attack that doesn’t reference this message at all, but a few questions.

How is asking if you’re okay a show of belligerence? How are any of your actions a show of decorum? You started by calling me illiterate, and just now called me a fuckwit. How does that fall into any definition of good faith communication? I stopped being angry at you. I’m not trying to insult you. But everything you say is so sad and pathetic. I legitimately haven’t been able to get you out of my head because I can’t stop thinking about your complete lack of self reflection.

A good half of your comments are insulting people for asking you questions, or responding to you at all. Your response to being acknowledged is anger. You push away everyone. You must be so alone. That warrants sympathy.

I didn’t say I didn’t understand anything. I’m not confused. I asked if you’re okay. Sympathy is not confusion.

But really, I’ve been going through your comment history. You attack everyone over everything. Are you okay?

Yup. You got me. I can’t read the comment you deleted.

But, are you okay? This thread was filled with you attacking people trying to talk about cats. Do you need to talk something out?

You just say this every time anyone asks you for evidence, don’t you? Well, I’m glad you found more people to scream at.

There is, though, if you define “toxicity” in a totally weird and nonsensical way.

What makes this a weird or nonsensical thing to call toxic, though? A large number of women, and all the women in my life, take issue with being called females. Am I, a man, or you, who I’m assuming is also a man, in a position to call those women, who I respect as my partner, boss, coworkers, and friends, nonsensical?
