Not a fan of bots, but Lemmy might as well have a bot that acts as a first responder to tech support questions with this response.
Drivers are a pretty common issue, or were you talking about the Linux joke?
…or, maybe this is just the right advice so often
“Hey my cars engines is having issues”
“Have you tried a bike?”
Give your head a shake, it’s not good or the right advice, the only ones that want to hear it is people who want to circle jerk, doesn’t help anyone.
People having tech issues aren’t going to need the advice, it’s only going to upset them, and show everyone else how you can’t even read since you can’t answer a simple question.
It’s not even funny.
windose people can't tell a joke… but I guess that makes sense
Pretty sure I covered that.
And you’re doing a fine job doing proving my point about not being able to read.
To be fair that's not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:
The proper one would be:
Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.
.. …..
Or maybe suggest a repair manual or mechanic…? How is suggesting a bmw helpful?
I said:
It isn't
You must need a ladder, because you clearly missed the entire point of my comment.
No, I got it. I just wasn't commenting on that part.
So you missed/ignored my only point and decried to just bloviate about your own thing?
Sure that makes total sense.
That's how conversations work, people don't always fixate on the thing that you are trying to make a point on. They follow up with their points of view and things they can contribute with.
Thats… not how conversation works dude. If you’re not talking about a related topic, you aren’t contributing. Your derailing the conversation are best, or at worst, just a troll. That’s an incredibly ignorant and fallacious way of thinking, that everyone just needs to listen to your random thoughts?
You do realize that this started by you taking seriously something someone said in jest? The jig should've hinted at when the original comment said "seriously though" so in fact you are the one who derailed the conversation by having tunnel vision on a comment that was a joke, or a light hearted poke at something that you said.was not helpful.
Pointing out that the joke isn’t helpful and would actually make the situation worse isn’t relevant?
You’re not all there in the head are you?
Do you even think that OP would read past the first sentence? The harm is already done. But go off if you want lmfao.
About as relevant as saying that your comparison is apples to oranges while still agreeing with your underlying point.
Also yes. I would hope people that want to engage in a real conversation would read past the first sentence.
Btw reaching for the ad hominem argument is quite petty imo.
