        It’s wild that through all these replies you somehow haven’t realized that people are just saying things off the list to you…

          No, I get it. I just find it wild that they derive a sense of superiority from that.

          Like, how lame of me to take a principled stance on something. I wish I could be as cool as the people who can’t even think of their own replies, but think they’re being funny. Not even the “joke” of repeating items from the list is original.

          This place is turning into reddit by the day…

            We could just block Chippy… but then our ability to see through BS ragebait might atrophy over time… I think that maybe some of the motivation for these types of oversimplified ragebait posts is to promote cognitive or perhaps even spiritual resilience toward the presence of epitomized cliches or statements involving weaponized ignorance.

            Either that or they just like watching people fight and enjoy the bits of attention they receive along the way towards the eventual resignation or defeat of some otherwise unsuspecting, not otherwise nefarious party who has just not been honing their practice of the art of ignoring people who demonstrate no willingness to engage in any constructive way in discussions with others
