    I feel that of someone gets all emotional and veers away from reality, it’s best to give them an out and then leave them alone.

    They may be able to get over it, or maybe not, but nothing else is getting accomplished and all of us are going to die wrong about something.

    I have a genuine appreciation for people willing to argue, but it ain’t me unless I’m getting paid.

    Say your piece, then peace out.

    Jokes on you, I don’t get mad, I forget what we were even talking about and then get distracted by food.

    Younger brother tries to ragebait me with obtuse wrongness thinking he is being clever.

    Pull uno reverse card on him with acute correctness and sociopathic level of patience.

    It works and now he is insanely angry that he can’t make me mad.

    Continue to make him so angry he can’t form coherent sentences.

    He starts yelling at me and demands that I apologize

    Tell him I’m sorry that he is an idiot and wish he hadn’t wasted so much of our time doing idiot things.

    He kicks me out of the house and I’m uninvited to Christmas

    Sucks being correct sometimes.

    I remember living this meme many years ago, and my best friend trying to strangle me after I finally explained that I knew he was right, and had known all along. Still friends and I definitely had it coming.

    On Lemmy it’s more like, I realised I was wrong 5 comments ago and now I’ll just trying to soothe my ego by arguing semantics, but when I run out of things to say I’ll just block everyone.

          This website is a vapid all-consuming black hole where meaning and seriousness go to die

          This is literally what I’m talking about lmao. You can say fuck Israel, free Palestine, and arrest Netanyahu, but unless you have all that tattooed to your dick some dickhead is going to slide in and call you a genocider.

      I love how everyone thinks they’re master debaters here but would get absolutely dog-walked in any other setting. Or just laughed out of the room

          Believe it or not, that’s not really a disqualifier to competitors. The sport is pretty professional and uses a way different skillset than people realize, fluent unbroken english not being one of them

              In an argument they will. That’s not really what I’m talking about though, arguing is never not stupid, people do it just to debase themselves in front of their acquaintances in the hopes that they’ll drag someone else down in the process.

              Check this out, you don’t have to watch the whole thing. But these people are the best in the world. The competition is formal and has a system, you aren’t allowed to only debate things you personally support, there is no interrupting or rude behavior because people actually want to win for their universities. TPUSA stopped going to actual debates like this because they kept getting humiliated on camera https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngaDNSlCpU

              Bo Seo is Korean and often stammers but they won the world championships twice

        Hey now, I know I’d get stomped on by twats like Ben Shapiro IRL, but give me 10 minutes alone in a bedroom with his sister and I’ll make him regret it.
