They were as bad, but there weren’t so many. Most of them weren’t “activated” yet.
When I get bored with the conversation/tired of arguing I will simply tersely agree with you and then stop responding. I’m too old for this stuff.

Yeah, it sounds like the kind of thing you could do but would pay out the butt for as a private service. Road map books and asking directions were my go-to.
Of course, post-internet but pre-GPS there was always mapquest.
To be fair, I think people looked at the folks who were into mermaids as outlandish too. “Been around for a long time” doesn’t mean the same thing as “totally accepted socially”.
Don’t forget the inability of the rich to keep you in poverty wages when there aren’t 50 people waiting to replace you at every job!
That only works if you manage to make it there without hating YOURSELF.
I mean, it would make sense.
The only way a conspiracy theorist can be swayed is if being right isn’t a win condition. If there’s no other person to feel better than when you’re debating, something might actually sink in.
I know the cultural context and respect it as different from my own.
But it will never stop being viscerally disgusting to my personal sensibilities.
Every time I just suck it up. Pun intended.
Ramen. And they are slurping like an 85 year old man who hasn’t had to care in 6 decades.
Not at all. I know it’s not a good reason, or a valid excuse, but I had a really bad couple of days and after my head cooled I felt awful about taking it out on you, especially after finding you really AREN’T a native speaker. 100% my post was completely out of line. Hope it wasn’t too disruptive to your day.
(Duplicating here to ensure you see it) I apologize. You’re right. That response was out of proportion and I let some nitpicking drive me to an inappropriate level of escalation. You in particular didn’t deserve to have the full brunt of that put into a direct response to you - you were the most reasonable commenter here. I was out of line.

I COULD take this bait, or I could satisfy myself that 325 people had absolutely no problem understanding how a megaphone doesn’t need to be a LITERAL megaphone, and go about my day. I know which I’m gonna do, and wish you luck in whatever you’ve got on your plate, my needlessly confrontational friend.
Huh… I just assumed I was dealing with a troll. I’ll thank you for explaining what I assumed was glaringly obvious.
I don’t know… I can’t answer what you’re trying to argue. That’s your hill to defend if you want to.

We live in a world where finding out what an exabyte is takes all of 3 seconds. You really want to argue the standard for communication of information should be based on the most ignorant and unmotivated people?
…and it is not your turn yet. We’ll get to you after we’re finished with this customer.
I’M not asking anything. This is an ancient Chinese proverb. Interpret it as you will.
Oh, I do. It isn’t easy. But all it takes for evil to win is for good to do nothing.
