Yay -S sudo-science-bin

Well boys, it was worth a shot. Smile and wave, smile and wave.

Pretty much covers the entirety of the "thought" processes behind the current administration.

It's cute that you think "science" is what I do...

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well... if you get really good at what you do, then it's often said that you "have it down to a science."

Sadoscience*, it is what my maid does

This is an edit and not a footnote. Therefore the * comes before the word and not after.

^ This is a pe~~n~~dantic person doing their thing.

EDIT: fix erroneous spelling. I'd say it'll teach me to do this stuff when I'm too tired, but we all know that wouldn't be true.

What a funny! 😁 It is a emulation (see the "sudo science*" guy)

^ This is a pe~~n~~dantic person with OCD ensuring that they've done their thing.

Also I wonder is that spelling intentional pedant bait? Probably not, but it is in my head canon :)

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Also I wonder if you're so deeply insecure that you spend your time trying to find ways to look down upon others to momentarily make yourself feel smug and superior. The problem with that approach is that it's like being addicted to drugs: the effect doesn't last, and becomes weaker every time - so you wind up doing it more and more in a pointless effort to regain the same high as the first time you did it, which only serves to make you seem like more and more of an asshole.

[–] sundaymidnight@ani.social 2 points 23 hours ago

Oh, thanks! Now, I understand these stupid assholes in my life... 🤣

[–] AndiHutch@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

^ This is a person using OCD as an insult and helping to spread ableist language.

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Oh, get over yourself. It was in no way an insult unless you're looking for it to be one. We all have our challenges - some more significant than others, of course - which makes being able to laugh at ourselves an important means of relieving the stress of those challenges.

I have ADD, depression, & some other mental challenges of my own. My spouse has several physical health issues (which cause additional mental health issues). Nobody understands or cares & we just have to deal with it.

I get the sensitivity to an extent, but you need to learn to distinguish between malicious intent versus those just trying not to take things too seriously (or in this case, trying to encourage someone else not to). None of us are perfect, and that includes you.

The important thing is that we try our best to not only get through this crappy excuse for a life ourselves, but also to help others do so when we can. My attempt to inject some mild humor into a situation where someone was being a bit overly condescending, while also having fun with the accidental double-post of a comment was just that - some light-heated poking of fun at something being taken too seriously.

[–] AndiHutch@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Sorry, I didn't mean to strike a nerve. Also sorry to hear you and your spouse have some difficulties with mental and physical challenges in today's world. I hope you can find some understanding people to cooperate with.

Intent deducing should also go both ways, I did interpret your posts in a somewhat light-hearted manner in line with the comm vibe, but it also just doesn''t sit right with me using real disorders people have as an insult. I replied in it in the same format as you did but you seemed took offense when I did it even though you used the same format in your comment.

Anyway, I wish you good luck in your journey and thanks for reading.
