A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.


6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world


7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.


8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.


Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I am VERY opinionated about a lot of things. I often wish I could just sit back and not be so staunch :(

Except you never had a point to begin with.

But sure, take the win. Tell yourself you proved something to someone.

Who am I to stand in the way of your rich and varied fantasy life?

My argument is the logical equivalent of the Earth being round; I'm embarrassed to live in a world where I have to positively argue for such a self-evident thing.

But, if you'd like to continue, please explain how you chose your personal values and how you did so without referencing your personal values in some way? Could you have just as easily, but for a more convincing argument, chosen exactly contradictory set of values?

tl;dr: please explain how you chose your personal values without referencing your personal values in some way?

I'll give you another opportunity to make a fool of yourself, since it seems like that's what you want.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm open to compromise. I'd say we're both fools, though I am the bigger fool.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Say whatever you want. You seem so desperately needy for attention that I feel bad ignoring you

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

That's very generous of you.
