This is too poignant for a shitpost

Lmfao, nah. You know you were wrong and seem to think you can just say “read it again” rather than explain yourself. I already explained how what you said was irrelevant, it’s your turn.

I don’t care about the socks. I was just pointing out that you based your disagreement at least in part on dressing up when OP said casual wear. And then for some reason I can’t understand you doubled down on it and told me I was wrong about the words you wrote that are still right there. So I broke down my understanding of your very straightforward sentence.

I just did. Mind clarifying?

I would challenge your assumption

Indicates you think OP is wrong

White socks are not the norm in the US

A characterization that does not match my experience as an American

especially when you’re wearing something with visible socks

Not relevant to my comment, but still not true in my American experience

or are dressing up

Completely irrelevant to the OP talking about casual wear.

The OP specified casual wear and you’re telling them they’re wrong because of how people dress up?

For general casual wear, white socks are pretty normal.

Looks like the restaurant in the Space Needle (Seattle). Casual clothes in fine dining is common here.

If they ever want to develop another Half Life, they should release some cheeky 5 minute game as HL3 that ends with an imminent release date reveal for HL4 to sidestep the expectations.

Lol, you revived a months old discussion to triple down on an unambiguous error and call me a pedant. I don’t want to go to any parties you’re involved in.

You used an adjective that describes a pattern that isn’t on your cat. That’s not a minor detail of your post. You’re the one trying, and failing, to be a pedant.

Lol, months later. You posted to a cat community, don’t get upset when people call you out on using cat terms incorrectly. The better response is to learn and not repeat the mistake. Calling it petty pedantry is absurd.

Tortoiseshell in the context of cats has a specific meaning. if you don’t care to learn what that meaning is, it’s easy to just not use the term.

Seriously, so fucking infuriating. How am I supposed to not be critical of the people who handed Donald Trump the presidency twice? And the first time they literally directed media outlets to prop him up in the Republican primary.

Right, I’m the problem with my one vote in a state that’s gonna give their electors to the Democrat no matter what I do (but I vote for the shitty neoliberal in the general anyway). Not the elite class who gave our country to the fascists because that’s what their donors wanted.

“Vote in the primaries!”

“I do but the party actively undermines democracy during those. Repeatedly, openly, and unashamedly.”

“Yeah well they’re allowed to just choose whoever they want anyway so you have to vote for the neoliberal in the general.”

I didn’t do a special party or anything. But I did file paperwork to legally change my last name to my stepdad’s.

My phone vibrates for text messages, but even if it doesn’t there’s no need for two notifications in the tray if a simple edit is possible.

Also I’m talking about the recipient, not myself. I don’t know what their settings are necessarily.

I’m a millennial and I strongly prefer editing. It’s much easier on the recipient not to have to cross-reference your correction with your message, and it usually doesn’t result in a separate notification ping.

Yep, 99% of dogs beat 99.99999% of people. And 99% of cats do the same.

Nah, fuck you. I have voted in every election I’ve been eligible for, and your stupid ad hominems are meaningless coming from someone who would rather take pleasure in your twisted idea if a high ground than actually discuss anything. I owe you nothing, if you want to discuss facts you bring them yourself.

Let me leave you with this: you, specifically you, have done more harm to American democracy in this conversation than anyone who decided to sit out any election in the last 10 years. Your defense of an organization that blatantly undermined democracy and even publicly admitted it is disgusting.

You’re the one disconnected with reality. You seriously think you’re winning an argument by petulantly saying the same irrelevant thing over and over. The vote count is not relevant to this discussion when the main offenses occurred before a single vote was cast and very much influenced the course of the election. That’s why the corrupted DNC in collusion with the Clinton campaign did them in the first place.

Right, the vote from the election where the winning candidate installed a sycophant as head of DNC who eventually had to resign in disgrace because she was actively rigging the election for Clinton. The election where the Clinton campaign siphoned funds from state races for her own campaign. The election where the Control campaign had documented authority over what the DNC could say. The election where the media, working for the same elite class, reported Clinton as insurmountably ahead before a single primary vote had been cast.

That’s the election that you think the end vote is even a little bit relevant for when people are talking about how it was a corrupt election? Give me a break, you’re just a standard issue neoliberal apologist.

Yeah, our struggles definitely pale in comparison to marginalized groups. And no worries! I didn’t think you were, I just know how much my brother-in-law struggled with dyslexia, though he didn’t have a very supportive family so he didn’t even get diagnosed until he was an adult.

They think my nephew is showing early signs of it too, but hopefully his experience will be closer to yours since he’ll get support early on.

Auditory processing disorder is such a weird one. In a lot of contexts I actually like it, it’s like having earmuffs without wearing anything. I just wish I could turn it on and off intentionally. Sometimes I need it because the unfiltered background noise is too much but it won’t turn on. Sometimes I’m trying to take in audio and don’t realize it’s turned on and I missed a bunch.

I’ve also realized that I actually read lips a lot to compensate for background noise, so I’ve been trying to hone that skill more intentionally. Another thing that’s maybe a benefit of the disorder.
