You are welcome.
Based on the name of the site, I immediately assumed they were going to argue about technique, not how to count and do math! lmao
I got through page 1 and this conversation has already gone too far. I don’t know if I’m emotionally ready for page 2, much less all 5.
I’m on board to argue. Saying every other day and then 5 days a week is incredibly triggering.
I love how he somehow manages to get 4 workout days every week by just pushing the start of the week forward in post #17
Week 1 - Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday
Week 2 - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday
Week 3 - Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Monday
Week 4 - Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday
Week 5 - Thursday, Saturday, Monday, Wednesday
Week 6 - Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday
This is fucking amazing 😂
I want to see that calendar so bad
Edit: new challengers keep approaching, it’s the gift that keeps on giving!
I wish the OP added “Justin-27” and “TheJosh” to the picture
Reeeeepooooooost
By chance, have you read Matt Parker’s “Humble Pi”?
No. Should I have?
Just curious. Matt talks about this exact forum argument in the book while on the topic of off-by-one errors. Super hilarious book, highly recommend.

The funniest ones are when there’s like 20 shouting at first, but gradually they let it go and move on until there just 2 people left on thread abusing each other .
That’s why I love smartphones, I can argue myself to sleep in bed
You can’t even tell what they’re arguing about until around 200 replies in.
Let’s have an argument. We’ll know what it’s about when we get there. I’ll start:
Hard disagree!!!
PERSONAL ATTACK AFTER DIGGING THROUGH YOUR PROFILE.
*Nonsensical statement involving plankton*
Exactly as not described
Well, actually it is.
What a sorry excuse for an argument.
I can’t even find the words for how incredibly supercalifragilisticexpialidociously stupid that sounds when I take your lack of argument into consideration
I can’t even find the words […]
That seems to be constant with you, doesn’t it?
[…] supercalifragilisticexpialidociously […]
Try to leave your childhood trauma out of this, and we might be able to turn this trainwreck of a discussion into something productive.
[…] your lack of argument […]
Right. It is so obvious from the context that you haven’t even considered the effects that stabilizing the eel population in the Caucasus could have on achieving world peace.
Scientists saying empty space not really being empty doesn’t lend your argumentative vacuum any substance.
So often do I see people starting their comment with some variation of that or “you’re wrong!” But then they basically agree with that the other was saying. People just want to shout and be angry and dominant and not even really reading what the other one is saying.

Proof? Pictures or it didn’t happen.
But then they basically agree […]
I still disagree.
[…] with that the other was saying.
Yah, I’m certainly not saying what you’re saying, buddy.
People just want to shout […]
Who’s shouting? Lots of unfounded claims here …
[…] and be angry […]
Well, you’re starting to make me angry.
[…] and dominant […]
I am. And I’m not sorry.
Is this your first internet argument, kid?
PTSD intensifies
Try to stay on the topic.
Anyone up to argue about something stupid?
I think Pokemon is an overrated game that prey on people nostalgia to re-re-release over and over the same game twice at the same time with the only difference being a slight sprite and name swap . Kinda like FIFA, NFL, PES. Heck, even they don’t do the release twice with slight variations bullshit. Imagine FIFA : Barcelona and FiFA: Real Madrid editions being sold separately and the only difference is that the team written on the other version isn’t available.
You would have gotten a more heated debate about this 10 years ago.
I remember thinking the same even as kid. Why would anyone defend it ten years ago but not now ? Genuine question.
Pokemon is how a lot of people got into games to begin with. It was a new and innovative experience from their perspective. Pokemon Red/Blue was a competent game with some fresh ideas, but through luck/marketing it became the launch point for a massive population of people into the gaming industry.
So now you’ve got a few factors playing into Pokemon hype:
Nostalgia (you never forget your first)
Production value (this made money, pump more money in)
Incidentally a formula that favors expansion (just add more Pokemon)These factors are enough on their own to carry a franchise for a while, especially for an otherwise ignorant audience that doesn’t play anything else (just like the people who just play FIFA games and nothing else). But at some point, it becomes too obvious even to the most zealous supporters that the formula is, well, a formula, and it’s not changing or improving, and even they finally begin to criticize the product. It’s easy to have a favorite pokemon out of 150, maybe even 450, but now there are over 1000 and it becomes exhausting even for die-hard fans. Even the number of types has exploded to 18 without actually having any interesting interactions to justify them, it’s just more for the sake of more.
Plus, the most recent releases have been impressively lazy, again so much so that even megafans can’t nostalgia their way out of it.
All this together makes for a history of a franchise that was one vehemently defended but is now seen as an embarrassing phase one went through as a child.
I appreciate the long and detailed explanation. I already knew most of this but the last sentence tie it all together. People snapping of the pink tainted nostalgia because the abysmal quality of the product they’re fed is surely a feat in laziness and and nonecaring about the consumers. Wish it manifested in the sales tho, consumers need to learn that they can vote for improvement with their cash.
There can’t be an argument because I 100% agree with you.
But I failed my task of starting an argument. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

I think your Pokémon hot take is much less controversial than you envisioned lol
Isn’t it the most profitable franchise in the world ? There’s a craze around every new release and peoples praising it despite the glaring issues. I did expect a bit more controversy 😅.
In the game’s defense, vaporeon is the game’s most compatible pokemon for human-pokemon breeding
it’s no coincidence that the best pokemon games (emerald, platinum, and legends arceus) are the ones that don’t come with a paired-off other half
You fight like a dairy farmer!
Last time I got into a fight with a dairy farmer I ended up in a coma for 37 days and when I woke up whenever I tried to move my fingers my toes wiggled instead.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
I’ve met a dairy farmer, that mfer could KO a brick wall.
I give up.
Absolutely not, that would be a complete waste of time.

Burger King microwaves their burgers to melt the cheese and their chicken tastes like grade F pigeon meat
I worked at Burger King 8 years ago, we only microwaved one burger. That’s the veggie burger, that thing was the worst. All the rest though, you generally don’t have to microwave because it’s kept pretty warm in the heating thing.
Also, pigeons are basically the chicken of the sky. And it keeps the local pigeon population down so really a win win 🤷
Some people really can eat anything
This sounds like the ramblings of a rich kid who doesn’t appreciate the taste of a pigeon. Tell me, how is it to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth?
Sorry, I don’t own a pair of socks with holes in them to use as gloves to eat the damn bird properly. Tell me, how is it to be born with a plastic spoon in your mouth?
At least they haven’t been hit by shrinkflation nearly as bad as the hockey puck big mac
Well, depends on your definition of stupid. What’s something stupid according to you?!
your mom
But my IQ is probably less than my mom’s. So haa, who’s the stupid one now!
Congrats, you discovered you can make screenshots. Bravo 😂
That’s transphobic. Their birthing parent came out as trans last year. Oh wait I’m on the UK instance, maybe I should be the transphobic one.
It’s spelled argument
HOW DARE YOU CORRECT OPS TITLE YOU MOTHERFUCKER ILL KILL YOU
It makes me happy knowing that people had a sense of humor in medieval times. I want a print of that full painting.
This is the thing I miss the most about Reddit.
I feel like on Lemmy I get in more substantive arguments about the subject, and less of the other person playing armchair psychologist when I don’t see it their way.
Yeah but we also have some of the most pedantic people I’ve ever dealt with, who will completely ignore your entire argument because they found a tiny bit of nuance in your word choice that they then cling to like it makes any fuckin sense
Do we have a renaissance memes page?
We didn’t so here is one [email protected]
All hail!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

An argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
No it isn’t.
Yes it is!
And most of the comments are deleted so your nutbrain can’t find any clue about what they are talking about, still you read [ആഹ അന്തസ്സ്]
