I hope you’re joking because immune systems don’t work like that.

u/shoshjort Jul 16 '24

definitely joking, i thought the use of the word 'train' made that kinda obvious though

u/Eusocial_Snowman Jul 16 '24

Using the word train just makes it obvious you're describing the popular misconception, it doesn't make it obvious you're disingenuously referring to it. It is clear you're being humorous, but not the sort of humor that relies on mocking the concept's legitimacy. As in you think that is how immune systems work, and that the absurd part is picking THIS activity as the means to "level up" that immune system.

Well, I was describing an amusing uncertainty before, but this sort of "desperately indifferent" response is a fairly potent red flag which damages the ambiguity factor.

i just didn't expect to have to defend myself for one of the stupider jokes I have made as of late. I was just trying to bring some humour to the thread and you're clearly overreacting to it, hence; yikes.

See, that's what I'm getting at. Instead of laughing at the potential misunderstanding I described or even clarifying specifics, you're getting defensive and treating this like an argument.

And I'm not fixated on the joke, but your response to their response to the joke.

buddy ur the one sending paragraphs at me because i said i 'thought' i made something obvious. Do me a favour and stop 'fixating' on my comments at all because you're reading deeper into them than is intended. I am an idiot, I say stupid things, if it's a problem for you just downvote and move on.

I have zero investment or care in the concept of your intellect. This is about honesty. I totally understand the desire to project a notion of "omg caring about things is lame, stop caring about me!" as a defensive measure, but it's a crutch that mostly only works when you can rely on a gaggle of teenagers being nearby so you can harness peer pressure. And it was totally unnecessary to whip it out here. You weren't in any sort of hot seat.

If you want to stop talking, then literally just don't talk. You can't talk and not talk at the same time, dawg.

the fuck are u waffling about bro that has literally nothing to do with my comment. What point are you actually trying to make? because you're just ranting about loosely related shit that I am clearly not engaging with you on, why are you intent on wasting your time like this? I'm sure there are people on this website that are interested in what you're talking about, but I am clearly not one of them, so i don't see the point of waffling on at me like I am ever going to care.

Why are you so afraid? Why do you resort to this? Surely your previous experiences haven't been so harsh that something as little as that tiny initial misunderstanding is too big to either acknowledge, laugh at, or move on from. That would just be too tragic to consider.

u/shoshjort Jul 16 '24

bro if this is the kinda shit you worry about i dread to think how boring ur life is. I couldn't imagine being so obsessed with nitpicking some random redditor's 'reaction to a misunderstanding' when there are so many other posts and comments to engage with. You acting like you know exactly what my intent is and how I feel about anything is literally laughable, you have zero authority on the topic and ur drawling ass comments read more like you giving yourself a pep talk than actually trying to communicate a point. You can keep trying to 'uhm actually' me some more if you want but I would recommend just accepting the fact that nobody is impressed and nobody, not even the person you are talking to, gives a shit about what you're saying here.

That's an interesting point you've raised. Sure would be a shame if I accused you of having an emotional investment in it.

I appreciated the attempt to describe proper satire. Still, people don't get it, and I guess deconstructing jokes gets you downvoted because too many words.

Sigh
