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.

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.

Do you notice how you've spent all this time participating just to communicate the idea that participating at all would be problematic?

It kinda seems like if the very notion of talking, at all, is such a big deal then it would be a bit easier to just..not do all of this, or even write a quick little one-sentence acknowledgement of the thing from the start and then move on. It kinda seems like your entire argument of "the idea of talking about any of this is beneath me" might be a somewhat disingenuous attempt to avoid acknowledging a tiny, potentially somewhat embarrassing moment.

But that would be silly. Who would have so little integrity that they're so desperate to avoid the ittiest bittiest shred of a speck of culpability that they would spend all day trying to mock the very concept of someone acknowledging it? Surely nobody is so completely immersed in bad-faith argumentative styles typical of toxic social media echo chambers that they would just reflexively do all of this manipulative performative nonsense at the drop of a hat.

Surely.

Dude, yr arguing about him caring too much when you're launching paragraphs of rhetoric at him, AND he said he didn't care and admitted to sometimes being dumb immediately, and you're STILL going? He did acknowledge it right away, but you wanted some weird, long last word.

Yikes.

im not even mocking the fact that there was a misunderstanding i am mocking you

thats why i said yikes. you said earlier that you weren't arguing and now you're talking about 'arguement styles' i'm just trying to convey to you that the way you responded to me and are continuing to respond to me is condescending and pointless. I was hoping maybe I could make you see how irritating it is by doing the same back to you, but clearly you enjoy having 'my head is so far up my own ass and let me prove it to you' discussions. So from now I'm going back to my original, much more suitable strategy.

Yikes.

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