You are really proving his point, eh? Or are you being silly and trolling him? I seriously cannot tell.
Could be genuine. People with a skewed mental filter don't like to be reminded by someone with an upright one
Not trolling per se, more like an experiment.
I agree with OP that I'm sick of brain dead people picking some random bullshit to engage in. But clearly lemmy as a community has lost the ability to "don't feed the troll". Or in other words, lemmings get just as angry against the random bullshit as the random bullshitter is angry for his random bullshit.
The correct response to my post should have been "that's probably satire". Instead lemmy went 😡😡😡
Isn't that what both replies basically say?
Both replies, but not the downvotes
But at the end of the day, how do you truly know, either way?
Especially when people don't label it as such with a /s.
Understanding context is a skill that has atrophied in younger generations. Reading comprehension is not really being taught in school anymore.
