This… Might not be as helpful as you think it is… My dad died 6 months ago, and If someone asked me what his name was and then said ‘that’s a nice name’ I’d feel like it was a superficial and bad reaction. My father was a lot of things, and for someone to sum it up in ‘that’s a nice name’ as a form of sympathy would make me pause and struggle to find a response to such a… Simple and child-like reaction. I feel like that’s a response you could maybe get away with people’s pets, but not a human loved one.

There was also a game that did this yeeears ago called dot hack, for ps2 I think?

Ahh , case in point, downvoters to the rescue.

Yup, yup. Really sick of having to defend a fact that a color is red, because someone else calls it magenta and now I have to go back and explain color theory and try to have an airtight persuasive argument to ‘win’ for something as obvious as a color… Or Trump…

I’ve experiences this on Lemmy and have blocked some instance, but probably just gonna give up on Lemmy too. I think I’m over talking to people (or bots? Who knows…) on the internet. It’s all bullshit anyway, politics, memes, advertising, blah, blah that doesn’t actually provide any meaning or positive things to my life. I was a passive observer of the internet for a long time before getting more active on reddit, and then Lemmy. I’m so tired of having to defend my opinions and people trying to start arguments out of nothing, and I don’t care enough to research political shit to provide a truly airtight argument before someone tears it apart, or whatever else other fight someone is trying to start on any given day. At one point I was arguing about something with someone, and we both had the same position: “Trump is bad”, but for some reason they were really going after me, even though we’re on the same side, because i was consuming “too much conspiracy news” thinking that the 2024 election was gonna get violent from Trump’s supporters. Really just over the social aspect of the internet in general, to be honest.

Fight more, fight more!

I refuse! Refuse, you hear me!

Yes! Keep going man! Hilariously we’re on the same side, neither of us want Trump. Can’t wait to have more fun convoys with you!

Bro I’m done. I don’t have the energy to have a fun little fight, we’re not gonna change each others mind, you’ll log this as a ‘win’ in your book, smirking behind you’re phone or computer, I don’t really care. I’m in the middle of fixing my car and I don’t really care about fighting with you enough to keep going. Just remember this convo when you have a shocked pikachu face when shit hits the fan. Maybe they won’t succeed, but they’re sure as hell gonna try again.

Downvote me all you want. I guess you’ll be ignoring reality to the bitter end of democracy.

You must be a troll account because I don’t understand how someone could be this naive. They tried to overthrow the government in 2021… And they’ll try again. I don’t understand how you can’t see that. Sticking your fingers in your ears ignoring reality won’t change reality.

Remember them chanting “hang Mike Pence”? And up until the end, he was on their side… What do you think they’ll do when you’re not on their side?

If Trump didn’t want to become a dictator why’d he want a 3rd term?

Trump will become a dictator. That is obvious, and he said as much. He hadn’t even secured his 2nd term in 2020, and he was saying he deserved a 3rd term. The writing is on the walls. Wake up.
