Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 1y (5 replies)

You’re just being contradictory, that’s not an argument.

So your argument is a monthly python video about arguments? That's silly.

Zombie@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Right! Stop that. It's silly!

Trolls used to make me so fucking mad.

SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 1y

Fuck yeah it does. I learned better emotional regulation and how to analyze, form, and deconstruct arguments thanks to Reddit's general argumentative douchebaggery. Now I'm an even more insufferable prick than ever!

I've been using this strategy my whole life without realizing it...

If your username is anything to go by, it seems to be only moderately working.

That's called productive self awareness, lol. Gotta remind yourself of what your tendencies are so you can work against them!

AngryishHumanoid@lemmynsfw.com · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Shit, I'm supposed to be working AGAINST them? Well I've been doing this all wrong.

ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

😂. You're doing alright, mate, I can tell. 👍

ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That reaction is uncalled for and a bit confusing.

the letter x is overrated. fight me

TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 13 pts · 1y (2 replies)

What the fuck is that even supposed to mean? How can a letter be overrated- are you xenophobic? It's literally probably the least used letter out of all of the letters. I bet you think 9/11 is overrated too

TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 1y (1 reply)

yeah it's used the least because nobody actually thinks x is a good letter!!
the only people who like it are tech bros and edgy teens. If you wanna give attention to something underrated talk to a lonely guy. but Tech bros won't do that because it's not POPULAR!!
Fuck x.

Call me old fashioned but I prefer picking fights the old fashioned way: doing shots before discussing religion with strangers at a bar.

outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

Absolutely crass and vulgar.

Coctails or a nice red wine.

Agent641@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 1y (2 replies)

You're such a cuck (not that there's anything wrong with that, kinks among consenting adults are not subjects of shame)

Fuck, I'm bad at this.

Yeah well at least my wife can get laid

Yeah I don't think I'm good at this either

I decided to play Overwatch until I could zen out and exude peace and cooperation. The idea that a game and the people playing it could make me irrationally angry made me rue my lack of self regulation. Took time and patience but I did get there! I think patience is the key word there. Patience isn't a strength of mine with the ADHD and whatnot.

Turns out if you are a clueless kid, this just hurts and shrinks your brain.

Wish I knew that while I was a kid.
