If there’s anything one should notice in life, it’s that yes, that is how grown adult humans act.

They’re all just entitled spoiled brats. Their kids are unironically more mature than they are.

They mean the willingness to work.

And that fucking clown is obviously a racist, just ignore him.

That’s what I was hoping someone else would bring up. Can someone set up a fund for us lemmonades to dump money into so we can have saltwater aquariums for coral built? Is that possible? Is there a marine biologist in the house?

Let’s see here, 4 month old account, zero posts, only 3 comments and all of them are direct attacks on me in this thread?

Sound the alarms fam, we’ve got ourselves an alt account here.

You’re adorable when you make it obvious to everyone who can click and read post histories what you’re actually doing.

This is WHY I tell you to grow up.

Now grow up, child.

Holy fucking shit, you actually are people who are so immature and vengeful over arguments on the internet that you chose to derail a NaNoWriMo thread because you have beef with me personally.

Because you actually and unironically are grown-ass adults who want to gang up on someone to get revenge over the internet. Over internet arguments

Because that is the grown-up response, am I right? 😆

Don’t actually stop. This is fucking hilarious.

I tell people like you to grow up for a reason, and this is precisely that reason. Touch. Grass.

Oh how adorable, you followed me all the way here from a whole separate post just to cause trouble. And you even came up with an excuse to give you plausible deniability a whole half-hour after you first chimed in when you found other people who are purposefully derailing the thread because they have an axe to grind, and joined in.

I’m… actually quite touched. I didn’t know I had fans.

No, no, being told to get out of one’s bubble is a commonly-used derisive insult.

Oh, you’re the troll. Well, I’m sorry your own misery, toxicity and lack of enjoyment in life is so painful to you that you felt the need to lash out and derail a thread about something completely innocuous, but that’s entirely a you problem. Now go touch grass.

Well, that troll sure got what he wanted, didn’t he? You’re so hopped up on your anger and the smell of your own shit that you can’t even see that the guy you’re defending clearly already knew what NaNoWriMo was. You just created an image in your mind of a raging lolcow who can’t take criticism and can’t see that you’re actually looking in the mirror.

But hey, you can have fun being an arrogant, ignorant blowhard who is too angry to listen to reason, or you can calm down for five seconds and actually listen to what you’re told. Your choice. 🤷

EDIT: Oh lol, the troll even went and admitted it:

Well, you still gonna sit there smelling your own farts, or are you actually going to stop and think about what’s actually happening in the thread?

And you can be an oversensitive, overbearing, overly offended concern troll with nothing better to do with your life than get mad at someone because you misinterpreted a situation and are too arrogant to admit you were wrong, but it won’t make you sound any less dumb.

That’ll sure show me not to assert myself when someone is being toxic in my own thread for no reason. 🙄

Okay, let me spell this out to you like you are a 4-year-old:

1. I made a Lemmy post asking what people are going to do for NaNoWriMo.

2. The post was treated derisively as most people already know what it is and don’t like it, and the rest genuinely didn’t know what it is.

3. Other people in the thread corrected them.

4. One person decided to catch attitude with me about it and I promptly told them where to stuff it.

5. You didn’t like that and started arguing with me.

.

And you’re doing this because you think I’m upset other people don’t like NaNoWriMo or me, and you don’t understand I don’t care if they do or not.

They have the right to like or hate whatever the fuck they want. I can’t make people like NaNoWriMo and I don’t want to make people like something I like. That’s their prerogative. As a fellow human being who shares this Earth with 8 billion other motherfuckers, I’m fine with that.

What I’m not fine with is the notion that I have to be a doormat and let people walk all over me to appease your sensibilities, because you misunderstand the point of the thread.

This thread is not for converting people to the ways of NaNoWriMo. I specifically was looking for other people who already know about it and were going to participate.

I really, really don’t know how to make this clearer to you than it already is. It’s on you if you refuse to listen and it’s pretty apparent that refusing to listen is something that you’re good at.

You’re literally defending anti-intellectualist dumbshits throughout the thread. Most of your posts are vitriolic. You came in here with an attitude, and when others called you out on it, you assaulted them with the same tired old thought-terminating cliches and personal attacks every anti-intellectualist abuses others with. It’s old, it’s tiresome, it’s destructive, and you really really need to go do something better with your time on this earth than enabling people to be stupid with no social consequences.

The mark of an intellectual! Making bold statements without evidence then suppressing any discussion of that lack of evidence.

Maybe instead of bemoaning how little effort others are putting into understanding things, you should forge ahead with your own work.

It just means you’re tossing your hands up at the complexity of understanding something. Not a very disciplined approach to understanding for the 1% Intellectual in the room.

You’re doing it everywhere. And you don’t realize what you’re doing because you don’t think about what you’re saying, and you don’t think about what you’re saying because you don’t care about the truth. Like all anti-intellectuals.

Well, the rest of us do, and we have a country to run and lives to live. You need to go touch grass. We’ll simply move on without you.

I’m going to pedantically use the dictionary to prove being pedantic is unhelpful

Well, you got me there, Chief

Well, you can sit there and whine, complain and be a dick all you want to, or you can take this as an opportunity to educate other people toward your way of thinking. Clearly you’ve already decided to do the former.

🤔 I wonder if there’s a NaNoWriMo group on Lemmy yet.

Nah, they’re hating and you’re just coming to their defense.

That guy you’re talking to up there? @can@shitjustworks or whatever his name is? He admitted what he is actually doing – concern trolling because he and the others are that damn juvenile.

He deleted his response as soon as he realized what he did.

Oh, and this guy? @DavidOwie@lemmy.dbzer0.com? That is @UsernameLost’s alt account. Look at the page – it’s a 4-month-old account with no posts and the only 4 comments ever made on it were in this thread. Where he’s talking to himself.

And @intensely_human literally followed me here from another thread.

It legitimately is one of the sadder shitshows I’ve seen on Lemmy so far.

They’re doing this to deliberately fuck up a NaNoWriMo thread.

It doesn’t actually matter too much though. Like I said, they’re the ones missing out, not me. 😎

And you of course took the opportunity not to practice as you preach but to make yourself feel superior to both.

They already made up their mind that they don’t like NaNoWriMo and it’s not my responsibility nor my prerogative to try to control other people’s feelings about it. If they don’t like it, I’ll just dismiss them, as I have, and be done with it. If they do, I’ll talk about it with them.

That was my one and only intention when making this thread. I do that because I respect the agency (I like to assume) other people have. You really need to learn to do the same.

Wow I didn’t even need to quote two sentences of yours to expose your hypocrisy. You managed to do it in the span of ten words.

I’m not defending anyone.

You showed yours in four.

You showed yours the second you opened your mouth defending dumbasses in here while completely ignoring their own brand of vitriol, and offering up your own as a consequence.

You show yours when you couldn’t be assed to look at my post history for five minutes like a decent concern troll. 🤦

You’re literally doing it right now, looking for a cheap gotcha moment, and when you read this and find out it didn’t work because I am openly an asshole, you’re going to whine and complain, and I’m gonna sit here and shake my head right along with OP.

You are on the wrong side of history and you are actively helping to destroy not only the U.S. but the rest of the developed world with your garbage and you give not one single fuck as long as you can use stupid people – and I emphasize stupid people – to virtue signal.

Grow up.

Oh look at that, no substantive argument defending openly rejecting learning, just more viciousness and vitriol because that’s all ignorant motherfuckers like you know how to do when confronted with your own flaws. Knock me over with a feather.

I’m angry and butthurt because you called me out on my vapidity and now I am attacking you for it

Die mad. You’re doing wrong being willfully ignorant and you’re doubly wrong for defending something so harmful and dangerous. You’re not going to bully me into shutting up simply because you don’t want to hear the truth.

You have to know basic shit and most importantly, want to learn to be a meaningful participant in a fucking democracy. We’re trying to run a society here. We have no time for your ignorance. You’ve caused enough suffering and destruction as it is.

Well, you can sit and hate all you want, the rest of us will have fun with or without you.

The only one who’s going to suffer from being so miserable is you.
