Boston Legal trapes into the subject occasionally, when Bill Shatner isn't shooting people.

Well, Thanks for chiming in, exceedingly valuable contribution, no doubt...Glad you stuck to nothing unmentioned and didnt see fit to at all further broaden the discussion in any way

Anything else you're only vaguely aware or knowledgeable of that everyone should drop everything to become privy to your halfhearted passing notice of? Surely it will be worthourwhile

Nextime, I should just name the thread things D00phy is only vaguely and half-bakedly aware of since that would be far closer to the point for all to be concerned given your template

God, where would I be had you not intervened and chimed in. It scares me sometime. Reminds me of Captain Obvious from South Park

I would have been fucked had you not so tepidly intervened, jesus

Man, fuck you.

You're not even wrong, yet this is a very repulsive response. And immature, too.

[+] sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz -13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Honestly, how was i even supposed to respond to that? It was even worse than worthless and it was beyond self-centered?

"oh, i dont know anything beyond and not even quite to the extent of what you mentioned but I'd love to throw my non-opinion into the ring, now, here, today...cuz I have to talk and be heard at all times, naturally"

Sounds like a relative of mine who feels they need to dip their chime in everything where they know nothing yet feel they must divinely be the hermeneutical referee on all such proceedingz

(I didnt downvote btw)

[–] eneff@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You didn't need to respond at all. You could've just moved on.

[+] sopularity_fax@sopuli.xyz -17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I moved on after I addressed the issue. I hope they understood and do better but I must also detach myself from whatever the outcome

Its not okay to just allow folks to be that inane as a matter of due course. They need to understand when you contribute less than nothing, that has a consequence. It does not go unnoticed, otherwise I just become an attractor of and the main attraction at bullshit-Central

[–] eneff@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Being a condescending prick over such a trivial "issue" makes you look like a total fool, but whatever.

[–] Brekky@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Agreed, that response was OTT and came across pretty nasty.
