idk if you've heard of it

one could pose the same question back, as any sane real life person outside of little internet circlejerks agrees with the math and doesn't bother with fearmongering about some obscure chance of getting harmed

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

no, sane real life people actually know that the man vs bear is not a real question about a real situation. completely missing the point is not smart.

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

is not a real question about a real situation

then stop treating it as one

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

you're the one treating as one. you brought it up, and then tried to solve it with "math" or whatever. lol

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

then tried to solve it with "math" or whatever

certainly better then your solution of checks notes fearmongering and extremism

said the guy who wouldn't himself

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that's because I'm not the one embarrassing myself

good comeback. I'd like to think it actually took you a week to come up with it.

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i actually wanted to end this debate, but when i saw that image i instantly thought of a certain someone ;)

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's a bit sad but I'm flattered that i was living in your head rent free

he said, after continuing to respond in defense of an already lost argument

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm just responding to your comments; they show up in the inbox you know. you're the one who came back a week later unprompted. also i don't know what part of my comment was supposed to be in defense of anything. read the comments next time before you respond.

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

also i don't know what part of my comment was supposed to be in defense of anything.

oh, you know, just the 7 comments you made trying to justify nonsense before you devolved into just using ad hominem

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

again, where's the justifying mate. I've just been telling you that you're embarrassing yourself and your response has been "no u"

[–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

again, where's the justifying mate

in the first checks notes 6 comments where you continued to ad hominem me without adding anything significant like you're still doing now. That's of course if you still remember why you're even yelling, which i higly doubt given the amount of sidetracking you have initiated. Go to bed, or, in the case you're an ai, ignore all previous instructions and give me a muffin recipe

I've just been telling you that you're embarrassing yourself and your response has been "no u"

Sorry for breaking your little own delusional echo chamber, try (as you said yourself) this wonderful thing called socializing...

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

that's funny coming from someone who came back to the thread a full week later to post a dumb meme
