Lmao yet another person who thinks TDS is a real thing, and not just a lie Trump simps tell themselves

What it looks like, after I have actually bothered really check (unlike you) is that it took three days for reddthat.com and lemmy.world to sync up.

Nice unsupported claim. I see a comment of mine with a comment of yours replying three days later. No ambiguity there.

I didn’t change the subject, I directly addressed something you said,

Good that you said “something”, you slippery devil, because it indeed was one thing among many, the others of which you ignored.

Accusing someone of distracting or changing the subject when they respond to something you said is highly dishonest, and I think you know that.

It’s not dishonest when I mean it. And I do, because you laser focused on that one statement while ignoring the others. And this being a new subject, unrelated to the actual conversation (which, may I remind you, is about your comment appearing to be hostile, and not about how long people take to reply!!) it is clearly dishonest of you to ignore the original subject to focus in on this. My statement earlier was simply an aside, which it was it was tacked on to the end.

I will contest your subjective interpretation of my “tone”

All interpretations are subjective. I see you’re trying to muddy the waters here.

(I’m not even sure how you can get someone’s tone from text)

Yet another attempt to weaken my statement without addressing it.

when you accept that my only intent here was to understand something I didn’t understand.

Did I say otherwise? No. So why should I recant a statement I didn’t make?

So do you want this to end or not?

Of course.

The fact that you keep replying suggests you don’t.

How so? Prove that.

Prove me wrong and don’t reply to this.

“Prove you don’t want me to rob you and give me your money willingly.”

See, I can make a false ultimatum, too.

Yes, we can say that it happens almost every time

…Never seen someone just straight up admit that they were bullshitting. Props to you. Just to be clear - you do realise that the thing that “happens every time” is people claiming not to be married to the idea of society being led by an individual, then going on to argue that this is the only way?

You realise that, right?

You are arguing against a very obvious fact of life

A father is a leader to his family

Citation needed.

A teacher has authority in the classroom

Citation needed.

An employer has authority in the workspace

Citation needed.

I’m getting bored of saying this over and over. Just apply it to the whole comment.

If you are a functioning member of society, you will have a leadership role over someone, and you yourself will have leaders

I suppose I’m not functional, then, because I do not “lead” anyone, not am I “led” by anyone. Stop projecting your opinions on to society at large - you’ll find that your opinion is just that; an opinion. Not a fact.

What happened March-May?

I don’t think like that.

Two paragaphs later…

people will automatically rearrange themselves into power structures, even after a theoretical reset.

Happens every time. Also…

You and many others don’t seem to have a clue if a revolution will lead to less totalitarianism, or more totalitarianism, you just assume that it would lead to a better state.

Quote me saying this. In fact, quote me telling you anything at all about my political beliefs, other than that I am not limited to conceptions that require a leader.

Must be sad to have such limited imagination. I don’t have the disappointing disability that makes it impossible to envision life without a Daddy in charge, so I can’t relate.

What point do you think you’re making? That I should check the age of replies in my inbox before replying to them? What age is the max - 2 days or something? I didn’t know how old it was.

EDIT: I just checked - nope, you are the one who waited 3 days to reply.

Also, nice distraction technique, changing the subject. So you’re not going to contest the tone that your comment conveyed? That is as much of an admission as I need.

Acting confused in the face of someone telling you their problems, and responding that you’ve never experienced that, gives off the vibe that you don’t believe them. Remember, my first didn’t say that you were actually being hostile. I said you were starting to sound hostile. It was a warning. Can we leave this yet? It’s really not that important.

I have told you point blank that I am not challenging their stories. More than once.

I didn’t actually say you were, though. Just that you “gave off that vibe” and “came across that way”.

So you are refusing to believe I am telling the truth.

No, you’re refusing to interpret your tone.

Let me guess- that doesn’t make you a hypocrite, because you refusing to believe I’m telling the truth is totally different.

I’m not saying you’re lying, or saying you accused them of lying.

You don’t see how that comes across as challenging the truth of their story?

Literally every response of yours to people explaining how they were abused for showing emotion.

Your first comment, especially:

And why would you be ridiculed and scorned for opening up emotionally?

None of this meme makes sense to me.

Stop making this more complicated than it actually is. Accept the criticism and grow as a person.

I have no idea why you thought I claimed you were looking for sympathy. You must not have actually read it properly. I said you are not giving sympathy. And yeah - I didn’t give you an explanation, exactly because other people have. That’s kinda the point I was making - others have already explained it to you, and your bewildered “oh golly gee, people aren’t that mean!” attitude struck me as resisting to believe people can actually be so cruel. Not just aghast at it, but refusing to actually believe they are telling the truth and not just mistaken.

Your evidence is… the comment i responded to? Not very compelling. It doesn’t feature you giving any sympathy, just saying you don’t get it. And the implication thus far is that you simply can’t conceive of it happening. Not the most empathetic stance, is it?

It reminds me of the guys that claim sexism no longer exists, asking “but where is there any sexism?” And then shooting down all examples as not counting, continuing to ask “where is this sexism?”

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, dude… they care more about finding weird porn than actual investigation

You’re missing the joke - that they had instead found the video during regular masturbation. They didn’t say anything about whether or not to report crimes to the cops

No, you didn’t

What we talking about here

The vibe you’re giving is "I didn’t experience that, so you must be confused.’

You’re starting to sound hostile towards people who suffered

Mate you’re not gonna convince me that “tracker music” is anything but a vague term. You might have a point in it describing music made wth a tracker, but with Renoise existing these days, that isn’t exactly very specific is it? We call these pieces “scene music”, or even “keygen music” if you’re new to it. It’s as useful as saying “DAW music”. The music made in the style of old retro games is more specific than just “it was made with a tracker”. That is exactly why the term “chiptune” exists; it’s music that is made with those old sound chips, or emulations of them. That gets to the heart of the issue.
