Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

That depends. Are you just going to argue and defend whatever I find, or are you going to read them and consider that maybe they aren't as chill as you think?
I'm willing to help you learn and understand, but I'm not interested in wasting my time on an argument.
I promise to read and consider!

So, this is a rather unflattering conversation. I'm going to translate each post HOW I INTERPRET IT. I have no doubt that whatever you originally intended will not match what I describe. That's the point. I don't think you're a bad person, I think you're not communicating effectively and sometimes it makes you sound like an asshole.
Title: Cause and Effect isn't real! (Take note that there is no supporting text to explain the ambiguous title.)
Them: I don't understand what you mean. Can you give an example?
You: Title rephrased in an even MORE ambiguous way. It's pointless to explain because you're all morons in an echo chamber.
Them: We just wanted clarification.
You: I know YOU are, but what am I ?
Them: Wait, what? You started this conversation, you should tell us what led you to believe this.
You: ugh you're so difficult! Do you want proof or clarification?
Them: Nevermind, I found your other comment where you explained yourself better.
Well you certainly put a lot of work into that. For that reason I will consider it.
I honestly have no idea if you're completely dismissing me or not.
