In response, you’ve spent hours viciously insulting me while trying to turn it around so that you were the aggrieved party. Even if I were just whining, which I wasn’t even doing, your response has been wildly disproportionate to the slight you’re attempting to manufacture.
I don’t know how long you think it takes to bang out a couple sentences, but I assure you, it’s not hours.
However I do have a lot of time on my hands right now. I’m keeping someone company in a hospital overseas as close to 24/7 as I can manage. And because they are often napping, and I don’t speak the language so the T.V. is no good unless there is tennis or soccer on, and the hospital wifi blocks streaming, and if I streamed in cellular I’d use up my foreign data very quickly streaming; I’m left with going back and forth from reading to lemmy when they’re asleep. So I’ve got all the time I need for as long as you want to continue.
Somehow the fact that you have spent hours viciously insulting me for calling your joke lame feels far more pertinent than quibbling over the semantic point that over those hours you did not literally dedicate all of your time to doing that, something nobody here actually thought.
But does go some way towards explaining this whole mess. You’re existing in that awful space wherein crushing boredom is combined with extreme stress and disruption to your sleep schedule. I’ve been there, and I know exactly how difficult it can be to be in that position and keep a firm handle on your reactions. I’m truly sympathetic, and I hope that once things settle down you’re able to conduct yourself in a way that more closely represents who you are as a person, and I hope that whoever it is makes a speedy recovery (or if this is hospice, I hope they pass painlessly).
Again, you’re focusing on a very minor semantic point instead of the demonstrated behavior where you’ve spent hours viciously insulting me. If you’d like to address that, I’m happy to discuss it. If you want to talk through the stress, I’m happy to discuss that as well.
I suspect your presentation of what you described as not stressful is because you’re again projecting your own behavior onto what I’ve said, and are reacting with hostility because you see it as an attempt to be ‘manipulatively polite’ since yourself would not say something like that sincerely. But critically I’m not you, and it’s unfair to judge me by the standards with which you judge yourself. I have done nothing worse than call your behavior (again, behavior wherein you repeatedly have insulted me over and over and over, often without a point) toxic - so if you wouldn’t mind* explaining what makes me “a piece of shit” to you and the apparent multitudes, I’d be very curious to hear your explanation.
I only skimmed this thread because of how much there was, but it sounds like you both started with points about minor annoyances, but it just kept escalating, and at a certain point it turned into unproductive insults. I think it’s a good point for us to ask to “break it up” and let’s just move on please.
Again, I called your joke “lame”.

Edit: oh, well nevermind I guess. Thank you mods, I see my response isn’t needed :)

Can do (thanks/sorry!)
