and spend time with others?

People actually want to spend time with you?

Is that also how I learn about trickle down economics and pulling on my own bootstraps?

I was really enjoying Control, but stopped during one of the boss battles. It was so obviously a “game-y” boss battle (do this, dodge now, wait for the vulnerable part to be exposed, repeat this pattern ad nauseam). When I’m playing a story-driven immersive game, these videogamey elements shatter the immersion for me.

What a tease

I’m feeling left out. Can you block me too?

Also Blueberries has been discontinued, but don’t worry, it’s forked on this other super obscure repo and you need to configure your package manager to accept that as a source.

I finger my keyboard daily.

I use Plan 9 BTW

Anything’s a Chinese finger trap if you’re brave enough.

Outta sight

It like eating something, and then having someone come along, and SHOVE the rest of what you’re eating into your mouth.

Or to put it another way, it’s the old saying, “nobody calls my mother a whore except me.”

I didn’t claim anything of the sort. Go back and read, and pay attention to user names. The OP showed a person making an analogy about sharing highways, and another person (tachyon-log) made a comment that only Americans would bring up highways in an example of social and safety standards.

No one has seriously claimed that no one else has highways. Dalekcaan (this sub-thread’s OP) then made fun of tachyon-log by pretending to be them, and taking their argument to an absurdist extreme, the joke being that everyone else DOES have highways, and using them as a nationalistic wedge is ridiculous. I’m starting to think you took that comment literally, and not as a satire on the whole “only americans think of highways” bit? It’s fine if you did, but you’ve been strangely combative about all this, when it’s pretty easy to just talk calmly and clear up misconceptions.

It’s really simple. You picked up from a top level comment that someone was claiming that people were jealous of highways, which doesn’t match anything in the original comment. Myself and a couple of others have been asking for clarification of what you mean, and you’ve been avoiding it, claiming that you’ve already explained it. Now I’m just kind of fascinated by how much you’re struggling to avoid explaining your thoughts so that other people can understand them. No one else has insulted you.

No need to tell me why I misunderstood. Just tell me your line of thinking and how you got there. That’s how humans communicate ideas. Pretty easy.

Look, I get that you’re trolling, it’s just… Kind of half-assed.

You wanna point out what you’re talking about? Walk me through it.

Answer the question, and try not to be snippy about it. Where did “jealous” come from? Bringing up highways is useful even in a non-American context, because it’s one of the more common experiences where people are crammed together in close proximity, and the split-second safety of everyone depends on things like depth perception.

Tachyon-log implied that was something only an American would do, which leads us to the next part:

“As if no one else has them,” is not literal. I apologize if English isn’t your first language.

Where on earth did you get “jealousy” from? It was clearly a poke at the implication of the original image where a poster was implying that mentioning highways was something that only Americans would do. As if no one else has them. Reads like sarcasm to me.

Lexx is compellingly weird. I’m with you. But I’m just a simple man from Potatah Hole.

DID YOU KNOW THAT EUROPE IS A TRAIN SHAPED LIKE A CONTINENT?
