It can also just be projection, watch out for that.
I’ve certainly projected my “I know what that facial expression means”/“I know why you said it like that” onto someone when it was really my own insecurities or assumptions.
If you’re looking for a trend, you’ll find it.

I just happened to see this
TL:DW Video essay about how skill learning has been crushed under the boots of capitalism, and the only path to self fulfilment is to steal minutes away from the megacorps and give them to your art. Not for content or for money, but for your soul.
Great video, super funny, unique editing. Highly recommend if you have the time.
With the premise the OP presented, I expected something worse than what was actually there. It was still horrible, but the impact was lessened for the reasons you listed.
Interesting how someone can manufacture consent like that by shifting your initial view.
Mmmm I sent two short messages, but sure. I’ll spell it out.
I stated my opinion. Changing your mind on this or defending my viewpoint is just not that important to me.
I’m confident I could discuss and debate it, I know the facts and where my stance lies. I just don’t want to explain it to you. It would be a truly pointless endeavor. I have responsibilities in my life. I don’t want to be the kind of person that argues online for a living. I can’t be.
I know it’s difficult but I hope you can understand.
I see you in every thread, clearly it would benefit neither of us if I engaged you. I simply cannot match your time commitment to this online debate club.
The information on this subject is widely available, and we are now working in the realm of hypothetical. No need to waste any more time for either of us. We are approaching “my dad can beat up your dad - an essay”. I just don’t care anymore.
For the sake of your own ego, I allow you to chalk this up in the “win” category. I think it’s fair. You are the superior lemmy user.
