TLDR

Do you guys actually write this shit out or are you ctrl + v from some source? Every time i see hexbears they write up a whole journal article as a comment that most likely nobody is going to read.

I think a part of good, honest discourse is recognizing and respecting the time of the person you are talking with.

If you are going to respond with 11 paragraphs quoted from a book, you should preempt it by saying something to diffuse it. Something like, "oh man, this is super long but actually quite beneficial. I wrote a tldr though at the end in case you don't have time to read the whole thing."

I use this site while I'm at work. I literally don't have time to read all of that lol.

You are wasting your time shitposting on social media. Your time means nothing. I respect neither it, nor you.

Oh lmao it's the Topic Decider.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was I deciding a topic just then?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

No, I'm just amused that you consistently put so much effort into decrying reading. Much more so than just doing the reading.

Honest question, do hexbears look out for other hexbear comments so you guys can slap eachother in the ass? Ive never seen a hexbear comment on its own where it was <2 hexbears in a comment chain.

You've just never seen the results of making a post other people agree with

[–] PatFussy@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Only people here agreeing is other hexbears. Like a hive of bees you guys rage out at others and then wonder why people dont like you.

Yeah, all those people who don't like us are upvoting you right now

[–] boboblaw@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol there's way more of us than there are of you anti-reading shitheads. And of course when I see such aggressive anti-intellectual bullshit, I feel compelled to mock the moron who's lauding the virtues of being moronic.

Sorry can you dumb that down for me please

As bots residing in the basement of the Lubyanka Building, we are algorithmically drawn to each other like birds to a flock.

That makes sense. Carry on the good word comerade

I'm putting time into supporting good communication. Telling someone you don't respect them or their time is also not an effective way to communicate either btw. Thanks for showing your cards though.

I'm gonna go touch some grass now, good luck with stuff

If you think good communication and brief communication are the same thing, may I suggest whatever they're calling Twitter these days?
