yeah and it’s working fuck you
I feel that of someone gets all emotional and veers away from reality, it’s best to give them an out and then leave them alone.
They may be able to get over it, or maybe not, but nothing else is getting accomplished and all of us are going to die wrong about something.
I have a genuine appreciation for people willing to argue, but it ain’t me unless I’m getting paid.
Say your piece, then peace out.
Long tap -> save picture
Well 5 minutes before I was just too far lost in my derailed thoughts to realize
Jokes on you, I don’t get mad, I forget what we were even talking about and then get distracted by food.
I remember living this meme many years ago, and my best friend trying to strangle me after I finally explained that I knew he was right, and had known all along. Still friends and I definitely had it coming.
“Who is this guy and why is he relevant? Oh, someone posted a video! … Well, that was no help at all.”
❤️❤️
I feel missed out. What are some spicy communities where these arguments are going on?
Any of the .ml news comms.
Any new topic in a news or politics community. Older topics frequently get cleaned up by mods after a while.
On Lemmy it’s more like, I realised I was wrong 5 comments ago and now I’ll just trying to soothe my ego by arguing semantics, but when I run out of things to say I’ll just block everyone.
I love how everyone thinks they’re master debaters here but would get absolutely dog-walked in any other setting. Or just laughed out of the room
If you say that less carefully, I absolutely am.
Hey now, I know I’d get stomped on by twats like Ben Shapiro IRL, but give me 10 minutes alone in a bedroom with his sister and I’ll make him regret it.
“I fucked your sister 8 times”
Hey now, I know I’d get stomped on by twats like Ben Shapiro IRL
Lol. You could probably take Ben, there’s a reason why he and the TPUSA team only ever argues with children.
You’ll have to fistfight me for Abbi’s massive Hebrew heavies tho
The moment the convo stop being via text i am so cooked, i just cannot talk IRL without stammering(i also have those embarassing moments where i often forget a word in my language but not in english…)
Believe it or not, that’s not really a disqualifier to competitors. The sport is pretty professional and uses a way different skillset than people realize, fluent unbroken english not being one of them
Yeah umh, the problem is that in real debates IRL people will interrupt you often and i fucking hate that, gimme me time i need to process things!
In an argument they will. That’s not really what I’m talking about though, arguing is never not stupid, people do it just to debase themselves in front of their acquaintances in the hopes that they’ll drag someone else down in the process.
Check this out, you don’t have to watch the whole thing. But these people are the best in the world. The competition is formal and has a system, you aren’t allowed to only debate things you personally support, there is no interrupting or rude behavior because people actually want to win for their universities. TPUSA stopped going to actual debates like this because they kept getting humiliated on camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngaDNSlCpU
Bo Seo is Korean and often stammers but they won the world championships twice
That seems a fun competition, thanks for sharing!
On lemmy it’s more like, “I’m now going to call you a genocide supporter.”
What an odd way to project that you like genocide
This is literally what I’m talking about lmao. You can say fuck Israel, free Palestine, and arrest Netanyahu, but unless you have all that tattooed to your dick some dickhead is going to slide in and call you a genocider.
Yeah, people call you a genocide supporter if you vote, because all candidates support Israel some amount.
This website is a vapid all-consuming black hole where meaning and seriousness go to die
That guy is a master debater.
A Cunning Linguist if you will
Every argument with my ex-wife I ever had.
I don’t even understand the point of making someone mad via text conversations. You can’t see their face turn red with rage or hear the sounds they make, so it’s not even funny. 🤷♂️
The point is that I already jerked off like six times and now I have to do the other phone thing for a few minutes. The other option would be to put the phone down.
If you do it well enough they’ll call your ass. And if you’re smart you don’t answer the first call. If you can bait them into leaving a voicemail you’ve won.
somebody had downvoted you. Check your voicemail
They let you know in other ways
Engagement and data collection … sometimes it’s just a way to collect data. Anyone that responds gets added to their list of accounts that have a live person.
They do the same for telemarketing, email, mail, phone, sms, and any other contact request … once there’s a response, it’s confirmation that the account has a human owner
so many users on lemmy
Gotta admire the dedication.
When they’re in it for the love of the game.
