>I pointed it out multiple times, in a lot of detail.
No you just keep saying "I pointed it out" without ever doing so.
>I answered the question multiple times in multiple ways as well, but it would never satisfy you unless I match your zeal, and play your game.
I will tell you when you have answered it.

@Eris
>I will tell you when you have answered it
exactly my point

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>exactly my point
Your point is that I want you to clarify yourself to me?
Good, that is also my point.

@Eris no that you will never be satisfied unless I say what you want me to say, your friend AR-15 has even clarified what exactly you want me to say, and that nothing else will satisfy you

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>that you will never be satisfied unless I say what you want me to say,
...Yes? That's how being satisfied works?

@Eris So you want me to just role play someone I'm not and not to say what I think, glad we established that. I will not though.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>So you want me to just role play someone I'm not and not to say what I think
No, the exact opposite of that.
What we want, what will satisfy us, is if you say what you think.
We are dying to know.

@Eris I told it multiple times, that for the purposes of this conversation I accepted your premise, and otherwise I couldn't care less, but you will never be satisfied, unless I say exactly what you want to hear, almost word per word.
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius You didn't accept his premise though and if you did, that would make no sense! If you accept that there is no pandemic then you should apologize to OP for "roasting" him for making this exact assertion.

@AR-15 no my point stands, even if pandemic does not exist, read it again with the edit I suggested, if there is something in particular you don't understand, ask.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>even if pandemic does not exist, read it again with the edit I suggested, if there is something in particular you don't understand, ask.
If the pandemic does not exist (it doesn't) then your post is the post of a condescending cunt who is engaging in a struggle session. If the pandemic does not exist (it doesn't) you are evil. You are evil.
If there is something in particular you don't understand, ask.

@Eris you did not address anything particular from the my reply, but sure keep asserting your truth and pray for it to magically manifests itself

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> you did not address anything particular from the my reply,
Yes because my problem is with the premise of your question, that there is a pandemic.

@Eris there is no such premise in my question. there is such premise in the OP, that is not my premise, and m argument does not rest on it

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I'm really confused. Do you just personally dislike the OP then? In my understanding it seemed like they said "vaccinated people are crazy and bloodthirsty against unvaccinated" and you responded "unvaccinated people are malicious and deserve it." Yet now you're saying there is no pandemic. If there is no pandemic then why would vaccination status matter? If you can't die from COVID then why be vaccinated against it? Your argument as I perceive it makes no sense unless you are just a pedantic fucktard or a pharma CEO.

Please clarify your argument. Is my perception of it wrong, yes or no? If I'm wrong, then what is your argument?

@AR-15 ever tried looking past dichotomy? He said he barely overheard some people saying "dunno what" about unvaxinated, and that he is freaking terrified of that. I told him to not be a pussy and next time go talk to them and figure out what they were about, instead of running home and posting paranoid crap over that particular incident. I don't care about overarching narrative of pro or anti pandemic BS you have going on here, and can't look past.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius holy shit LOL, do you even understand how fucking insane it is to instruct someone to go up to people and ask them what they mean when you just spent 5 hours giving non answers to that same question? You're way worse than I thought. Legitimately evil.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius holy fucking shit "just go ask them if they were talking about genociding you! Don't just assume they were! You have to ask them and take their answer at face value!"

>hey man are you talking about the pandemic?

"We're not arguing! :) you're just dumb!"

>what the fuck? Are you talking about the pandemic?

>>>>5 hours later

"No lol! I'm talking about genocide."

@AR-15 It's not my fault that you don't know how to talk to people. No judgement for you disability, only for your cowardice.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius Okay then, go ask official Chinese propaganda channels whether the Tiananmen Square Massacre happened. You know how to Talk To People, so I'm sure you can expect a totally honest answer. Ask a girlfriend who is cheating on you whether she is actually cheating on you. Your great Talking To People skills will surely get her to answer truthfully!

@AR-15 Again can't read what I write. Where did you write go ask them directly what you are freaking paranoid about. I simple said go talk to them, pretend to be e terrible fascist vaxer if that's what it takes, but I understand if that too much for your sensitivities, not bonafartius though, I will talk to him if he replies

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>pretend to be e terrible fascist vaxer if that's what it takes, but I understand if that too much for your sensitivities, not bonafartius though, I will talk to him if he replies
Why go through an elaborate plot to learn something obvious?

@Eris it's not an elaborate plot it's called a smalltalk. You can't do it I understand, you are too afraid, not to worry.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
Being deceptive in order to gain information is an elaborate plot. "Small talk" is a psychopathic learned behavior.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
I am literally a deacon and I am literally trying to convert you.
Repeating that back to me and adding a sarcastic tone is not insightful.

@Eris you may assign any tone you want to my writing, I don't mind

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
I try to assign the one you intend. I do not think I have made any errors.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

Are you going to seriously claim that you were *unironically* saying "Yes pastor, I convert?"
I don't know why you tell these extremely goofy lies.

@Eris You seemed to have a problem with the tone and not intent, so I wanted to help you. If it is intent that you are after than I'm afraid that there is nothing for you but faith in this matter.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I thought you were the one who knew how to talk to people? Surely you understand the relationship between tone and intent. They're not independent.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius You explicitly did when you said Eris and I don't know how to talk to people and we are mentally disabled as a result.

@AR-15 ah I see, you didn't notice I'm snarky, understandable

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
That seems pretty psychopathic to me. You enjoy intentionally irritating others for no reason but your own pleasure?

@Eris It's a writing style, I don't care if anyone reads it, other than for them to meet me with the their own style, and have a little bit of an argument in between.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

1. Why would you write something if you don't care if anyone reads it? What is even the point?
2. I am reading what you write, there is no if about it. Act accordingly. Write for your audience of one. This is how conversations work. There are two people.

>I said what precicely I care about when writing, learn to read, lean english yada yayda
Only concerned with what you care about, not what we care about.

@Eris yes I care about what I care about, and that's what I tell when you ask me what I care about

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius Seems pretty psychopathic. Are you aware that other people are also people, like you are?

@Eris in fact you are so much like me you instantly fell in love

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>in fact you are so much like me you instantly fell in love
I don't know what this post is meant to communicate other than "I want to type something snarky to show I do not respect you or this conversation"
I can see no leftover meaning when I remove the snark.
@Eris @bonifartius @namark True of virtually everything he has ever said to either of us.

@Eris the leftover meaning is that we wouldn't be talking so long if there was not something in common.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>we wouldn't be talking so long if there was not something in common.
That's a dumb thing to think, and I would rather you expressed it plainly so I could tell you you are dumb plainly.

@Eris I don't care how you want me to write, I write how I write here.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

Writing is communication. You are implicitly doing it for someone else, not for yourself.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius I do not find you constantly implying passive aggressively that i am dumb to be amusing. That does not amuse me. It is not a style that is beneficial. It is objectively negative.

@Eris You don't have to read what I write, you are not the only one here, I will not die of loneliness my love, don't worry

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> You don't have to read what I write,
I join threads because I want to. I don't know what weird motivation you have, but I was expecting you to have the same one. You can leave any time you want, but I want to engage with you. I don't know why you have to use sarcasm to imply that desire is bad.

@Eris the snark that hurts your loving hurt so much, that you can't understand anything else I'm saying

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@Eris alright, accepting the premise again, then it is the suffering of pointless conversation
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius Shouldn't you care about what others care about then when you interact with them?

@Eris not when you ask me what I care about... you asked me what I care about I answered, otherwise I'm not particularly willing to share my whole philosophy with you... you followed me, so just wait and see
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>not when you ask me what I care about...
You're establishing a new context which we weren't operating in order to tactically draw a weird distinction to avoid just acknowledging me as right, out of a weird obsessive desire to be disagreeable.

@Eris right about what? that I'm evil? i never disputed that... @AR-15 @bonifartius

@Eris can't wrap your head around it can you mu righteous friend? Again you may wait and see. I talk here once in a while.
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>can't wrap your head around it can you mu righteous friend?
Did you just use the word righteous as an insult?

@Eris I'm afraid no matter what I say, the only thing that's important for you is what you want me to say...
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>I'm afraid no matter what I say, the only thing that's important for you is what you want me to say...
What I want you to say is anything.

@Eris Then I said it. I don't know. Not with your bizarre definitions of words.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

Style without substance is not saying anything. Literally all you have said this entire thread is snarky bullshit, zero substance, zero firm statements of what you think or why.
@Eris @bonifartius @namark He names the flame and thinks he owns it via words when in reality it is like water, but not water, like a rose but not a rose. Talmudic sorcery.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius Yes, I want you to answer my question even though it's beyond superfluous for me to ask at this point.

@AR-15 Stop misinterpreting my words, I meant you want me to say something specific you have in mind. Not only I don't know what you have in mind, I'm not even particularly curious in this instance.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> I meant you want me to say something specific you have in mind
No, we don't. We want you to say what specifically you have in mind.

@Eris I have nothing in mind of that particular question other than what I answered. @AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>I have nothing in mind
You being dumb is not acceptable to me. Put something in your mind, then tell me what it is. Think.

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I want you to say either yes or no. I don't care which.

It's ludicrous how much you get frustrated when we take you at your word. Especially when you have repeatedly said you care more about style than substance, and that you don't care how we interpret your words. Crazy how the only interpretation you don't want us to take is the obvious one. The normal one.
@AR-15 @bonifartius @namark
> I want you to say either yes or no. I don't care which.
I do care which, which is why I'm asking. I don't know.

@Eris You care for it to be defined dichotomy known to all by nature. That is a massive assertion.
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@AR-15 I would suggest you to study the logical structure and definition of dichotomy or equivalence relations in general, then define me one that I can recognize. But that would be beneath your dignity I presume.

Cringe. A thing is or it is not. I don't need to study in order to know this.

And no, right about the fact that you do not care about what others care about.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius The object of language is to learn and teach others about truth, reality, and meaning. Divorcing it from this is literally masturbation, yet you were the one accusing Eris and me of circlejerking.
