No-one's forcing you to participate in this conversation.
Why the three week leave from Lemmy btw? Luckily the "other guy" was active when you weren't. Weirdly, you never comment at the exact same time. Almost as if someone who got shamed went and hopped on their alt.
"people use language differently from you"
Yeah, but that doesn't change how grammar works, does it?
This is about one person being incapable of saying "my mistake" and getting super annoyed. Like I've said, I've seen this tantrum a thousand times. :)
Wait, what on Earth happened to the other 999 thousand tantrums??
"what is emphasis"
You're not a native speaker, are you?
That would explain the poor wording.
Why won't you just simply admit you misplaced 999 thousand tantrums?
Still here with sad oneliners.
I can respond to you and point out that people sometimes use "millions" to emphasise that there's a lot of something. If I were to estimate it honestly, I'd say I've seen at least one or two of kids like you a week for the past 10 years so that's what, 520 to 1040 of these tantrums, on average.
You're not ashamed to publicly make such a idiot out of yourself. All you need to prove me wrong is address the subject or leave. But you won't, because your infantile ego controls you. :D
Holy goalpost moving!
1 million --> 1 thousand --> 520
How is it you're unable to do anything but sad oneliners, just like I've said?
You're dancing exactly to my tune. Because I've been over this a million times. (Google "what is emphasis". Surely you're not dumb enough to that that "million" is literal? When people say "I could eat a horse", do you get upset when they don't understand why you bring them an entire grilled horse?)
When you were moving goalposts,
I was dancing.
When you were getting over that a million times,
I was dancing.
When you wasted your days googling the basic meaning of emphasis,
I was dancing.
So when people say, "I could eat a horse", you bring them an actual horse?
Not understanding idioms further points to how bad your language skills are. Like when what you said literally meant "all information is gotten through random 'gifting'"
It's genuinely fun to see how little control over your tiny childish ego you have. You can't stop it from forcing you back here like the hundreds and thousands of other kids who I see doing this. Youre doing literally exactly what they did.
Ie trying pathetically to not dance to my tune while literally dancing to my tune. (Yes, I'm using "literally" as emphasis, not to mean literally, literally. Are you having a hard time understanding that? You might want to ask your doctor about autism tests. ;>)
How you ask? By trying to avoid replying with one line, instead you just repeat it several times, as if that made some sort of difference.
And then you bring up logical fallacies, which only show how much you're one of those kids who thinks about "winning" conversations like this one. That's been clear from the start.
You just worded something so poorly that it implied a thing you didn't mean. It's okay, mistakes happen. But what isn't okay is this childish tantrum you're having. Publicly, might I remind you. Enjoy using this account (or should I say "alt") after this as everyone sees you squirming in this thread for days.
(Just a casual reminder I've been in threads like this that go on for weeks. I've never "lost" a single one, because there's nothing for me to "lose" as I like conversations and talking. You're just here because you have a tantrum when someone tells you you're we wrong. :D)
Why are you watching "hundreds and thousands" kids?
Oh, still the sad oneliners, because you're too childish to accept when you've made a mistake.
Why do you think having this sort of tantrum will make it better? What's your plan? Keep up this childish avoidance? :D
Good luck. For anyone not completely controlled by their childish ego, it would be easier to say "yeah, I worded it poorly, it did imply all learned things are 'randomly gifted' instead of earned.'
But guess you're used to changing accounts. You probably change them more often than your irl underwear hahaha
Whoa, now we are talking about childish underwear ... sus.
(Also what's non-irl underwear?)
I can talk about anything in the thread. Why are you avoiding the reason you are in this thread? What was my first reply to your, and why are you avoiding it?
Is it because your controlled by your infantile ego, and can't help it? :(((
You know, because you're still having the tantrum you starter days ago. The one I've seen a million times on various sites.
Dancing exactly to my tune. I'm just waiting when you devolve to the "tldr" and "k" stage. Because you're proud of your ignorance. Thats why it's so hard for you to accept you made a mistake. :<<
I'm here bcs ~~you're hella fun & worth the one-liners, lol~~ my ego demands dancing to this banger tune, I'm living in a nonstop days-long dancing tantrum, can't think of nothing else, k, tl;dr.
But the real question is why are you suddenly so silent about kids underwear?
See the "now I'll try to turn the tables and accuse him of avoiding some nonsense I just made up"-phase is a pretty common one as well.
This isn't a thread about children's underwear, is it? You must have your private tabs confused with this thread.
You can continue this for weeks, but the only person you're lying to is yourself. Or do you think the average person can't see what you're doing?
Am I being pedantic, and an asshole? Yeah. But I'm not wrong. Like you were. And when I am, I actually admit to it. I'm here to write because I enjoy writing on forums. You're here because you can't wrangle your infantile ego.
If the girls from your school saw you acting like this, they'd laugh even harder than they previously did. (I assume you're in school, as I assume you're a child, as anyone adult having a tantrum like yours would be so much more shameful.)
All trivia games are just testing the luck of the players, right? Which one was most lucky to gifted their knowledge? Unless you just phrased something poorly?
This is a lesson for you. I gonna make you act so childishly that you're gonna remember it for the rest of your life and everytime you do, you'll cringe at how infantile you were. Can't wait to see what you'll devolve into by next week! If you're not a lost cause than that cringe you'll always carry with you might make you think twice about what you write and also make you more capable of accepting that you're fallible and mistakes happen.
Which is more an adult response to someone pointing out you've made a mistake?
This
Or this
Hmmmm? ;>
You are talking to a random child online for several days?? That is really inappropriate.
And you brought up their underwear?
Wtf?
Correction, I'm teaching a kid a lesson. Mainly, don't be controlled by your infantile ego.
Hopefully you're not actually an adult with an ego that infantile, right?
It's not like you're deeeeeesperately trying to avoid admitting you made a mistake in your wording and then proceded days on end to have a tantrum you definitely did no such thing, pretty much proving to everyone that you very much did... riight...? ;>
You know, like I've been saying, *over and over and over and over again...? Riiiiight? ;P
Dang, you really hoping to be talking to a kid about their underwear?
This is getting sussier by the day.
Then again, I wasn't gifted this tune of yours, I had to put effort in it, you should show some gratitude.
Who do you think you're lying to?
You know it isn't me.
You know it's no-one reading that.
So... it's you. Yourself. You're trying extremely hard to delude yourself that you're gonna "win" this and "get the last word". You won't. You "lost" ages ago and every single reply is reinforcing that. To everyone.
Doesn't matter that you hop on your alts and then come on this account once a day to quickly make some comments on other threads so it wouldn't look like you're so childish. Again, youre trying to delude yourself. No-one else is even remotely thinking you're the "winner" here.
Because you made a mistake and now you're not man enough to own up to it.
Also the fact that you instantly think of children's underwear as a sexual thing is fucking gross man. I hope you never have kids, they wouldn't be safe with you.
(Lol, who is this everyone you keep mentioning? We are alone here, and both for our own amusement, otherwise why invest time?)
You keep projecting this '"winning" online & throwing tantrums is my whole personality' thing.
And feel free to stop mentioning kids underwear :).
All the bots scraping this and all the people who will look at your profile and go "lol what an infantile moron". ;>
So what's the reason you can't mention why you're in the thread, or what you wrote in your first comment? Is it because you're desperately avoiding admitting to a mistake, because your infantile ego is controlling you.
So who are you talking to, because it's you who's spamming your fetishes, because you can't actually talk about why you're in the thread. Yet there's a reason you're compulsively replying. Can you explain why?
Oh right, I already did, in the beginning. And then again, and again and again. And you've followed each and every step, like clockwork.
You're just not man enough to admit when you make a mistake. Which shows just how infantile you are. To everyone ;>>>>
oh dude, you were so close.
i was camping. some of us have lives. you should try it.
And most of the pathetic people who think forums are about "winning" things and who whine about people writing on forums (:D) also have alt-accounts, I've noted.
And now that I pointed it out, you felt obliged to continue with the other. Or not. I really have no "proof", it's just pathetically common. To avoid getting called out for it, you might want to be active on both even when you're not having a tantrum.
There's no place within my national boundaries that I wouldn't have the internet in. Maybe at most one national park about 1000km away. See, for me it really doesn't takes more than a couple of min every now and then to reply.
you're projecting again dude. i don't go camping to go on the internet.
Oh yes, that's why I can speak about anything previously mentioned in the thread, when you can't?
I enjoy writing on forums. If you don't, perhaps you should stop?
Like I said, I've seen this tantrum a thousand times and it always ends the same.
All because you have some hangup about going "you're right, I was wrong, it was poor wording, which implied..."
But you won't, just like I said like a dozen comments ago. I've sometimes gone a few weeks into these threads. It's genuinely hilarious how much people like you devolve, which just shows they were always just pretending. I don't need to. :)
The proof is in the pudding. ;>
