Why do I have a feeling that the “without sarcasm” part of your post wasn’t true? But then you didn’t bother refuting any of it…

For what other reason is Musk evil and manipulative? He is rich enough to have pretty much anything he wants. He never has to work another day in his life. He clearly gets a thrill out of saying and doing horrible things and bending people to his will.

So maybe don’t call everyone a sociopath, but I’d say the Tesla fits in this case.

What exactly do you think that militia was for? Because I’ll give you a hint: it wasn’t to fight against a tyrannical government.

That’s horrible! I’m so sorry to hear that! I feel bad enough for the elderly women I see going up the stairs, but at least they can get to their flat!

Shouldn’t you have known I was such a victim? I thought you knew all this stuff about me! You mean you actually don’t know about me? I’m so confused!

Oh. We’re already friends? I thought you asked me if we wanted to be. I guess we are. Which is weird, because I didn’t think my friends were people who insulted me and declared what I thought even though I was sure that wasn’t in any way what I thought.

In fact, I always thought my friends were nice and kind people who respected others enough to let them speak for themselves and didn’t run around lobbing insults.

But what do I know about my friends? It’s not like I’ve ever met them.

I’m fairly certain I like my friends, but I guess not if you’re one of them.

Sorry, I cannot answer any questions about what I want. That’s for you to declare about me.

Weird, the version of Sync I have used allows you to easily avoid that just by clicking on the most recent comment link. But then I do not have this superior version you use.

That would be a lot easier for me to believe if this conversation weren’t longer than the other one.

But then maybe I do believe it. You know me better than I do, so I guess you’ll have to tell me what I believe for me to find out.

Also, I thought I knew how Sync worked and how that isn’t in any way a limitation. But clearly I haven’t used the superior version of Sync that you use.

Then you can certainly come up with the questions for me.

Unless you’re planning on telling me you don’t know how to use a very basic Lemmy client properly in this thread and pretend I apologized to you here too.

You tell me! I didn’t know any of this, so clearly I don’t know what questions to ask. You’re the expert on me here, not me.

Thank you for telling me what my goal is. It’s something else I was entirely unaware of.

And then I milked the misunderstanding too! Wow!

Tell me, how do you know all these things about me that I am completely in the dark about?

You could have asked for clarification rather than just been aggressive this entire time, but your insults are noted.

Well as long as it’s obvious to you, because it wasn’t obvious to me.

I thought I was just one of those weird people who believed words mean things. Thanks for setting me straight on what I really think.

I would have much greater interest in microscopic Jeeps that could reproduce. I probably wouldn’t even mock them. Unless they were jerks.

If you call mountain biking a culture, I’ll mock you for that too. Because it’s a hobby and a sport, not a culture.

Something isn’t a culture just because you and your friends want to base your identities around it.

I’m way into Star Trek. If I ever heard another Trekkie talk about “Trekkie Culture,” I’d have to resist the urge to slap them.

Be as interested in Jeeps as you like.

Saying you’re part of a culture because you bought something (especially something prohibitively expensive) is not something I will do anything but mock.

I don’t hear about “Mercedes Culture” or “Nissan Culture.” Probably because people way into those cars understand that it isn’t a culture just to be into a car.

Cool. What does that have to do with the whole “Jeep Culture” thing?

Unfortunately, I am subletting through VRBO (kind of like AirBnB) so this is not my fight, but I am pretty upset on behalf of the building’s residents.

Racist countries (like Britain can very much be unfortunately) also don’t give a shit what a building full of immigrants want.
