i don't know if it will help, but you don't have to care about achievements even if you haven't gotten them

if it were (verifiably) on video, it wouldn't be paranormal, it would be science.

if you want paranormal content that may not be genuine i can recommend the horror section on netflix?

finally, someone willing to say what they're really thinking. a sheep with unparalleled courage.

what? lol

what app is that? looks sharp

It's strictly for entertainment purposes

you're so close, if only you'd uncross your eyes it might come a little clearer into focus

If you don't want to listen to me

what part of replying to everybody who wants a piece of me suggests that i'm participating under duress? lol

thank you, it's an honor just to be nominated

You must think we're all incredibly stupid

not everyone, no, but the 10th guy in a row to talk down to me and expect to make a point? i might not think so highly of him.

I'm always down for a sarcastic quip

you took my (hilarious) joke at face value and made a serious effort to admonish me for that literal interpretation and not the blatantly obvious message that when you have nothing to say, it's ok to say nothing.

that you're continuing to reply at all suggests that your sarcasm detector could really use routine maintenance. or a warranty replacement.

would a '/s' make things easier for you?

you have a good point. after all i'm clearly in the right despite the votes suggesting otherwise.

i like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

i understand that you don't appreciate my tone but i'm afraid i won't be able to kneecap my natural charm in order to be less intimidating to you.

you're adorable, but i think we can all agree that making an effort to help other users contribute positively to the platform is itself a positive contribution.

you do understand that between the two of us, only one is being respectful, and it's not the one trying to bully users they don't like off the platform.

right?

Otherwise, every comment is welcome here

unless it's not very nice, then we need to give them a scolding. thank goodness officer superkret is on the job to put those rapscallions in their place.

guess it's just the two of us then, huh?

i can't tell if you don't understand the concept of irony or if you've somehow concluded that i'm willing to play the bad guy in order to say what needs to be said because i'm desperate for approval.

Imagine a real conversation

i am, and it's nothing like a comment thread on pseudo-social media.

imagine a comedy duo where one member makes quips and the other chimes in periodically with 'i couldn't agree more' and 'i came here to say this!'

penn and teller work well as an act because teller keeps his mouth shut.

i guess it makes sense from the perspective that lemmy is a community largely by and for former redditors. activity that's effectively indistinguishable from bots must make this place feel like home to some of us.

Believe it or not, some people like making casual conversation with other people, even if it's just idle agreement.

believe it or not, some people find the relentless search for validation from people incapable of original thought weird and offputting when they're looking for discussion and interesting takes.

Hope you have a nice day.

lol there's no need to lie

"there's not much meat in this stew so i added sawdust" really isn't the slam dunk solution that you think it is.

did you know that there's a button on each comment which is purpose built for you to express this exact sentiment? i've provided a helpful diagram:

4 paragraphs deep into a description that you can't see unless you click to expand it isn't what i'd call clear, and based on the comments on every video i clicked on, it seems to be a pretty easy detail to miss. you've got a good eye, though.

a nice desktop toy

ngl i feel like i'd get sick watching most of these things for more than a few seconds at a time
