That's a hell of a lot to expect people to infer from 3 words, especially when the phase you're adapting IS specifically about it being especially bad in America compared to everywhere else, which it is.

Thoughts really glide off you like water off a duck huh?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nope. Pointing out your mistaken assumptions ≠ not understanding your subsequent explanations.

Or, to explain it like you're five: not agreeing with your take does not mean not understanding.

Pointing out your mistaken assumptions ≠ not understanding your subsequent explanations.

Just out of curiosity, what are these mistaken assumptions of mine?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The fact that I don’t phrase things exactly like you would have wanted me to is something you’ll just have to accept.

Your arrogant, uncharitable and sanctimonious attitude is also not really doing you any favors.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You expressed yourself in an unclear manner and expected me and everyone to jump to a conclusion that doesn't logically follow from what you said.

Then you started attacking my intelligence and accusing me of arguing in bad faith due to my completely reasonable original interpretation of your vague statement.

I'm not the one being arrogant, uncharitable and sanctimonious here, you are. Please just give it a rest already.

There’s no logic here. It’s a reference. You didn’t get it. That’s ok.

But it’s not my fault you didn’t get it. You just didn’t. Can you accept that you missed a reference? Can you accept that you were working off incomplete implication and reached the wrong conclusion?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Your reference didn't say what you thought it said. It happens. Now leave me the fuck alone.

The reference is primo. You didn’t know it. That’s ok.

Also wait, I should leave you the fuck alone? You have been picking a fight with me all morning!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I haven't, no. I've been calmly and patiently trying to correct the misconceptions you stubbornly cling to.

My patience is at an end, though, so kindly fuck off already.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What misconceptions are those?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I already told you several times. Go away.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

No you didn’t. You harangued me for not saying things in a way that would allow you, personally, to understand me immediately. In our entire conversation you never pointed out anything even slightly resembling a misconception that you did not fabricate out of whole cloth by employing a silly bad faith interpretation of my arguments.

So now, once and for all, lay it out.
