friends != asskissers

Exactly, but you don't seem to get the distinction.

lol, are you still mad because I questioned your integrity? As if apparently nobody ever should?

reply

I'm not mad at ya, I just think that you were wrong on that occasion, which is fine. We're all wrong all the time. Is how we learn. Right now I'm just messing with ya.

In all seriousness, if I could replace half the assmilkers here with you I would. But if I could replace half the assmilkers with Darth I would too...

Ok, cool, then I'm sorry for bringing it up again. It's not clear over text what each other's intentions or emotions are, as I explained with cascading misunderstandings.

I'm def a big fan of messing with people! I would say this is all I do with @DarthCoin. He's too fun to not mess with.

You were just trying to be savage with a meme. So I slop-edited a meme back atcha. Then you doubled down so I give you a taste of your own medicine. But I hope that when you're meme-ing savagery you're just making a joke. Even if there's truth to it.

I don't come from a place of disrespect. Questioning someone's integrity is the ultimate disrespect though. And that's fine too, just a mistake. You're not a sociopath, so you'll eventually come to a point where you'll regret these occasions for the rest of your life. I don't need to make it worse because I trust that you'll see it at some point. I've got a pretty high opinion of you.

This is interesting. I can see why someone would say that, but I wouldn’t say it’s a reason not to do it. I think the world would be a better place if we questioned each other’s integrity more. Maybe not in the short term, though…

I have to think more about it.

I've got a pretty high opinion of you.

Thank you and same, which is why I tried to hold you to a higher standard than I would others, but I’m not sure that’s fair.

goes into the basement to blush because of the compliment

The problem with the standard you were holding me to, which was caused by pressing reply too quickly, which you then turned that around on me and immediately questioning my integrity, rather than accepting that in a discussion between you and I, I conceded a point to you after replying too quickly and not taking a step back to think through your perspective - something you didn't either, because you went all out adversarial on me.

higher standard

The biggest problem with that though is that you're the most notorious comment editing stacker to ever roam here, and unlike anyone else here, I cannot really comment to you within the edit window of your comment because you'll change not only the tone, but you'll add things, and then it changes the context of my reply. So you're not entirely holding yourself to a standard where you're not allowed to concede a point to someone in a discussion without having your integrity questioned.

I think you're coming from a good place, but your execution really sucks. Yes, that is criticism, but it just means: don't judge people too quickly. I wasn't scamming anyone then, and I am not scamming anyone now.


The thing that I hate, truly hate, is manipulation for gainz. Lying, cheating, misrepresenting, boosting bullshit. And yes, we can disagree about the evil of that, because it would basically label most things we're familiar with as evil. That is my world. That is what I see happening around me. I see it because I know the systems we had in the 80s - I built them, and I know the systems we have now, I built some of them too. And I can't stop it, I can't really call it out. I can't even truly offer alternatives because I can never offer the convenience that a thief can afford themselves. But if you hop on a train right now. Or a queue at Starbucks. I can guarantee you that 99% of the people in there are at that very moment being stolen from in exchange for convenience, and they don't even realize how far it goes. And they won't accept it. This is why, even on SN, I had no choice but to extend your script into full bliss mode, so that I can still function.


PS: I'm also waiting with posting right now. It's a discipline I need to learn to have with you.
