Who are you calling an amateur, buddy? I can argue you under the table!

That’s helpful information, they both look like they’ve got good pedigrees. I’m a bit surprised that none of the normal fact and bias checker sites have anything for Drop Site.

I don’t quite understand the down votes here: Israel is a topic with lots of strong opinions, and basic good media literacy is to do research on sources you don’t recognize. There’s been a lot of shoddy journalism to get clicks out there, and one should be critical of the information they ingest. The Ground News bot is a good thing.

I’m having trouble finding any kind of credibility grading for this source

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

Please, be reasonable:

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

Good luck with that, granddragon88

That’s a cool narrative you made up. You actually aren’t required to have your birth year in your username on most sites.

As someone who shares your birth year, I think you gotta accept that the HH meaning is enough of a stain to avoid putting it in your usernames

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

You don’t know what to do with the three seashells?

Froot*

Cero!

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?
