No. You were sealioning. Also this post violates rule 6. Begone.

can let their righteous fury get the better of them at times.

No argument here.

Sorry, I’m stressed the fuck out about a few things at the moment and I get this type of stuff without irony or sarcasm surprisingly frequently. Hard to recognize what is and isn’t anymore.

And you are spam creating multiple accounts, doing a call out, and deleting your account. This shit has been going on for weeks. I dunno what your bizarre obsession is with creating an account for that explicit comment only to delete it.

So what’s your point? That I don’t scour the depths of every single community and then cross check what has been posted with what I’ve already got posted?

Shit happens and reposts occasionally happen. Jesus. I do plan on deleting the post but because it is a repost against my own rules and you’ve made me aware of that. Would really like you to tone back the high level and unnecessary self righteousness though from someone who can’t even keep a single account going.

Dead account whining about repost (Moderator removed it because it was the only comment on that deleted account):

Dead account whining about repost:

You seriously going to try and say that you, an account created minutes before making that comment, aren’t related to all those others?

To that end … Stamets cmon you can do better, wait 31 days at least.

I’m gonna delete this post because I wasn’t aware it was posted recently but I’m not gonna lie, this comment annoys the hell out of me. I’m not on lemmy 24/7. No one is. Humans gotta sleep at the very least and I’m dealing with my own stressful nightmare of a life at the moment. I’m not gonna see every post. Saying “You can do better” implies I was sitting there waiting for this post to time out so I could post it again.

I’ve got a shitload of comics saved. Some of em are ones other people have posted in the past and, occasionally, I’ve posted it too and didn’t mark it as posted. But I’m not out here looking through every single post ahead of time to manage what I can and cannot post. Sometimes shits just gonna happen.

If you think I’m reading anything you have to say after you’ve openly proven your own hypocrisy and idiocy then you have another thing coming.

In my daily life I expect, receive, and largely accept criticism for any poor decisions. I choose not to broadcast my daily life to the world via social media.

And there it is. You believe that it is acceptable to bully someone so long as they publicly show their face and you are not willing to show yours because you are hiding from the same criticism.

I look like shit, but that guy is going to die if he keeps taking such high doses of steroids.

Okay, show us your life choices so we can judge you. I mean if it’s killing you, we’re allowed to mock you after all. Right?

So I’m actually interested in this but I do have a question before I am willing to invest love into this, the question explaining why I’m hesitant.

Every other major mod that I can think of that overhauls old work or bridges games always ends up being shut down. Usually because of pushback by the original developer or publisher, whether that just be threats or an actual cease and desist. So here’s the question.

What is the guarantee that this isn’t going to get shut down immediately too, or is this just entirely a gamble?

It’s funny how you’re acting superior but have no problem judging the world I must live in as being shitty.

Well yes. Because Im judging the world you live in, not you. I’m saying that if you go around doing this, you’re going to see nothing but misery and contempt everywhere you go. You on the other hand are openly mocking a person. There is a difference between these two. Should I get the crayons to help out on that explanation? And if you want to whine that I’m not being nice to you, you broke the social contract and decided that it’s okay to mock people to make the world better. I’m just using your rules.

The difference between you and I is that I don’t lie to myself.

It’s a subtle difference but actually leads to living in a world that is less shitty.

Ahhhh, my mistake. Sorry. I didn’t realize that attacking people for how they look actually makes the world less shitty. Makes total sense.

Maybe one day you can join me but you’ll need to let go of that gate your keeping yourself behind.

Brother, you are openly judging someones appearance and saying you’re allowed to mock them but saying I’m the gatekeeper?

Good luck with that.

By the way, I’m still waiting for you to post what you look like.

I mean you’re saying that we get to mock people based off of appearance to make the world better. Show yourself. Let us see what you look like. Never know. Maybe the world needs to be made better?

I have bought and refunded that game 3 times. I so want to get into it but I don’t get the appeal

Yep. I’ve been utterly disgusted by so many people in this thread and kinda regret ever posting this. At least I found a whole lot of people I can tag as being problematic as shit to keep an eye on. I don’t know how anyone in their right mind believes that it is okay to mock someone based off of the way they look. I kinda do it off of actions. Doing it off of looks is just childish horseshit and I expected better of people here. They should feel incredibly fucking ashamed of themselves.

All these pathetic redditors who left the site but not the mentality.

So… if someone can’t help how they look then you shouldn’t shame or mock them but if you choose to look a particular way then get fucked? That is a truly fucked up moral to try and proclaim. That it is totally acceptable to mock someone for their looks as long as they’ve chosen to look that way.

What a shitty, fucked up and miserable little world you must live in. Why don’t you show us what you look like? I’m curious what decisions you’ve made. I mean… fair is fair. Right?

God that country is a fucking plague.

Oh for real. I’ve been on the bus and people ask questions like what time it is. I just respond with something wildly unhinged like “Quarter past where the past, present and future all have a collective existential crisis. But if you need a more convential and temporally linear answer, tis probably too late for this nonsense”. I’ve yet to have anyone say anything other than the most generic ass “Cool” response. Some even say thanks which is… hysterical.

Lobotomy.

Honestly I have no fucking clue. I do the same thing. Especially bad if I think about something that can cause a laughing fit and then I have to explain a voice clip a friend sent to me.

Most people generally won’t care though. They’ll look over and maybe go “Huh” before they carry on.

You’d be amazed just how little people actually think about anyone other than themselves.

To answer your title? Yes. Aggressively so.

I don’t participate in their activities.

That’s fine. There are plenty of friends I don’t share the same activities with.

I don’t really ask them how they are, or what their interests are.

One of the core things about being a friend with someone is getting to know them. That means their emotional state and their general interests. If you don’t show any interest in them, why would or should they show any interest in you? It’s a wasted investment.

I don’t even engage in deep discussion with them unless I’m up for it.

I mean that’s fine. It’s everything else that’s extremely problematic.

When my friend sends a video that reminded her of me or that she finds funny, I don’t click it and just ignore it.

Your friend reached out to say that they thought of you in a moment when they had no real reason to. They’re saying that because they care and want to demonstrate that. By ignoring that, you are telling them that you don’t care about whether or not they are interested in you. Whether you mean that is something else but that is the story you are telling them.

Maybe my friends are growing apart and they text me less because of this

Oh they 100% are. No one is going to stay in a one sided relationship for long because it’s a waste of their effort. They care and be emotionally open but get nothing in return except pain. By you not engaging with them when they try to engage with you, that comes off as you having zero interest in them. They’re going to start questioning why they keep talking to you when you don’t talk back. They are going to eventually come to the conclusion that you are not demonstrating any interest in them because you just simply are not interested in them. They will stop talking to you entirely and any memories they’ve had of you will become tarnished in their mind as a one-sided friendship.

but I’m kind of okay with that because I know they will be there for me when I need it

You are making an insane gamble here that will not pay off. Why would they ever be there for you? You were never there for them. You didn’t share in the small joys of life that they tried to share with you, why would they want to share in your miseries? They will only see you as a source of negative emotion. They will see you as sucking up their positive vibes towards you and showering them in negative emotion as they get nothing in return. Then they’ll feel used as you only talk to them when you need something from them. They will see you using them for an emotional cushion and realize that the only thing they are to you is a crutch. When they make that realization, they will leave you and never look back.

and because I’m genuinely just tired/bored most of the time.

So are most people but we make time and effort for our friends.

One time, my friend asked me if I’d like to spend time with her, and I just point-blank said “No”.

I can guarantee you that you hurt the hell of their feelings. Whether or not they said it? They were pretty upset. They offered to spend time with you because they like you and wanted to share in that. Asked if you’d like to spend time with them for the same reason and you rejected it. They aren’t going to know the reason unless you said it so they’re just going to invent a reason. With all of your other behaviors? They’re going to assume that you don’t like them at all and stop trying.

IDK if that’s rude just because I’m being honest

No, you’re being a dick. Being honest is telling the truth but that does not mean being aggressively blunt. That does not mean phrasing it in such a way as to hurt someone else or to be emotionally painful. You could have said no in a thousand different ways that would have been just as truthful while also not as hurtful.

and also because it’s not personal, I don’t want to engage with anyone.

Then you better not be surprised when no one wants to engage with you.

I’m picking question not the answers yeah we covered this already Covered this I don’t have to answer questions

Because you are incapable of answering them in a way that doesn’t make you look like the sole problem that you are
