I don’t even understand the point of making someone mad via text conversations. You can’t see their face turn red with rage so it’s not even funny. 🤷♂️

If you do it well enough they’ll call your ass. And if you’re smart you don’t answer the first call. If you can bait them into leaving a voicemail you’ve won.

somebody had downvoted you. Check your voicemail

The point is that I already jerked off like six times and now I have to do the other phone thing for a few minutes. The other option would be to put the phone down.

Engagement and data collection … sometimes it’s just a way to collect data. Anyone that responds gets added to their list of accounts that have a live person.
They do the same for telemarketing, email, mail, phone, sms, and any other contact request … once there’s a response, it’s confirmation that the account has a human owner

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.

Decades of arguing on the internet has mellowed me out some. At this point if someone is hostile without adding anything meaningful to the thread, I ignore them.
If they’re being a dick but made a point that might be seen as valid, I’ll talk to the lurker who’s reading the thread.
I feel the most useful when I can link to content that is informative, say a deep dive or a source that has academic or press chops. This is even useful if I agree with the other correspondents because then it’s no longer just the hearsay of a bunch of dudes on the internet.

I feel missed out. What are some spicy communities where these arguments are going on?
snooggums@piefed.world 3 weeks ago
Any new topic in a news or politics community. Older topics frequently get cleaned up by mods after a while.
socsa@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Any of the .ml news comms.

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.

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

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.

I love how everyone things they’re master debaters here but would get absolutely dog-walked in any other setting

The moment the convo stop being via text i am so cooked, i just cannot talk IRL without stammering(i also have those embarassing moments where i often forget a word in my language but not in english…)

On lemmy it’s more like, “I’m now going to call you a genocide supporter.”
bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What an odd way to project that you like genocide
