Says the person who knows they didn't spend even two minutes reading up on what a neurodevelopmental disorder even is before jumping at me and saying I'm the person who can't deal with reason?

Okay. :D

Aww, did you get a little tantrum because I hit the nail on the head with how you didn't even google "neurodevelopmental disorder" despite being obsessed with replying to me? :(

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I’m the one throwing a tantrum. How about you throw another wall of text at me to prove it.

Oh you've reached the "I'm gonna try insulting him for writing text on a forum*"-stage. Haha. I've seen this literally thousands of times. You can't discuss the subject anymore, you have nothing to say, but you think you're gonna "get the last word" and somehow think that will make all your childish behaviour not seem childish.

It's hilarious.

If you spent even 10% of the that you've wasted crying, reading, we'd already be able to actually have an adult conversation about this.

But you won't. Why is it you abhor learning? Not stimmed up enough?

Take a hit of speed, that will make you feel more interested and then it's gonna be easier deluding yourself on how you totally could know about the subject we're talking about, but learning is a waste of the time of such a genius mind. Better spend it spamming one word insults online, that's a worthy use of such brilliant cognitive gifts (and definitely not a reflection of your actual abilities)!

Great way to outline that I’m the one in this conversation throwing a tantrum. I can’t believe you’re still going, do more, this is a lot of fun.

Oh so now you're at the "I'm replying but I'm not gonna READ the things I'm replying to, and I'm PROUD to say that on this FORUM for writing things. And you genuinely don't see how that's the most ridiculous thing you can say on a forum? :DD

So you decided to stop with the "you think I'm reading all that". So you did exactly what I knew you would, because you pretend to be smart and not ignorant and childish. And you know smart people don't pride themselves on ignorance or acting like a child. Yet your profile seems to tell a different story, doesn't it?

And I still wouldn't say you have or have not got a neurodevelopmental disease, because I know you don't diagnose them that easily.

One could assume you're currently rather nervous, and especially average minds get all sorts of freaky when you shine a light on how ignorant they are.
