🔥😴 This argument is stupid

Things which seem obvious are not always so obvious here. ;)

-
I was referring to others on this forum who lack basic problem solving and observational skills.
-
You do whoosh a lot.
-
No, I find certain attempts at humor unfunny enough to be ridiculed instead of ignored.
-
Maybe you should do it in a way that doesn't look like a giant whoosh?
-
Maybe you should learn to recognize blatant sarcasm.
-
-
On the second thought, no. It would make your posts even more confusing and stupid.
 Eureka! That's why the gaggle of morons think my posts are confusing and stupid even when I use small words and simple sentence structure! They really don't understand sarcasm.

Because they're confusing and stupid since you misuse even the smallest words and simplest sentence structures?

I love how you haven't explained to me how that comic is applicable in this situation. It's as if you don't know it either!

Or, you know, as if it should be self-explanatory. Obvious, one might say. If you still don't get it, perhaps compare the first two panels of the comic (as a single unit) to the last two panels of the comic (as another single unit). That may help you to glean the purpose of the panels in between.

Or go the XKCD page and read the tooltip, because it sure as heck wasn't "obvious" to me until I did that.

Well, it was obvious to me. Even however many years ago it was that I first read that comic.
-
it was obvious to me.
I would not consider you to be an authority on what is obvious and what is not. Many things are obvious to you that are obviously wrong to many other people. (If you want to reply to this, please take it to one of the flame war topics, not here.)

On its own, it's very self-explanatory. In context, it makes no fucking sense.

Either you don't understand the comic, or you don't understand the situation in which it was used, because if you did, its purpose in context would be perfectly clear.

I have no idea how the "there's a human being on the other side of the cable, just like you" thing applies to a forum where everyone pretends to be as inhuman as possible. You fucktard.

So what you're saying is that
you don't understand the situation in which it was used
I suspected as much, but I could have sworn that it would be abundantly obvious that @jkshapiro was using it because you were being an asshole to words without taking into account the fact that there's a person on the other side of them. But, as I've said many times, things which seem obvious are not always so obvious here.

I'm assuming I'm whooshing, because the tooltip didn't help at all.

Yes, it was obvious. No, it still doesn't make sense.

Nothing can help you then.

One of my frat brothers used to greet visitors to the office by, "Can you be helped?" Thank you, Gaska, now I finally know the answer to that question.

The point of the comic is that people online find it really easy to flame one another incessantly because they distance themselves from the reality that there are other people involved. When confronted with the actual people on the other side of those words, it's a lot harder to justify all of the dehumanizing things people say in flame wars.
-
Since when does a fox even need dehumanizing?

Demammalizing is a much more widespread problem.

Oh, and speaking of demammalizing, I'm surprised I've found two other pages besides this topic. One is some kind of AMA, and there's this question and answer:
- Do you refer to 'debugging' as 'demammalizing'?
Yes. I find the term "debugging" offensive.
So fitting this topic!
- Do you refer to 'debugging' as 'demammalizing'?

I'm saving that for the next time someone asks what's so bad about passive voice.

Hey now! That's slander! I'm genuinely this stupid!

Well, you are in this thread, and it seems like everybody got hit by a dumb ray on their way in here, so I guess purple monkey dishwasher.

Well, you are in this thread
I'm just looking for enough flames to pop these popcorn. So far, there's still no sizzling, let alone popping.

Really? To me, he looks just as annoying, smug, patronizing and out of touch with reality as ever.

Why do you think he's such good troll bait?He doesn't commit as much anymore. That's what made him so funny.
