@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

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.

@Eris yes pastor, i convert

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@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.

@AR-15 I never claimed anything like that.
@Eris @bonifartius

@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
Why are you snarky?

@Eris I enjoy it
@AR-15 @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.

@Eris I said what precicely I care about when writing, learn to read, lean english yada yayda

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>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 I believe so

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@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 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.

@Eris with style, it doesn't have to be boring

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@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 so you enjoy suffering? relatable

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius What suffering are you referring to?

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

@AR-15 @bonifartius
