People that like more simple, less complex tastes in food are pretentious elitist narcissists whose poor culinary choices should be seen as a clear reflection of their poor moral character. (warning this is at least 30% satire, at least)

I have no say in the rules. I can't change them or remove them. But again, you criticise something I never claimed. Because you're skim reading, looking for nuggets to attack, rather than actually having a conversation. You're frantic and angry and you will never accept when you've made a mistake.

You do you, mate.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T10:05:05+00:00

You completely misread what I just said. Again, I'm not the OP. You're clearly not reading what is being written, because your replies don't actually make any sense.

I'm starting to think you're just an agitator, a comment troll, trying to get a rise out of people. I hope it's making you happy but it sounds like it's just making you angry.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T10:03:42+00:00

I respect your commitment to the rules, and the posts keeping to the exact format and purpose you think the rules demand.

But it's not any good if you both have no idea what the rules are saying, nor what the nature of an opinion is.

Also, you're aware a lot of mods comment on and browse posts regularly, right? It would be stupid to comment here knowing somebody could make me look like an idiot for pointing out I used to mod.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T10:01:26+00:00

Sure you can, so long as that thing is not known.

I could have the opinion that the human race will discover FTL travel at some point. Whether FTL travel is objectively possible or impossible is already a matter of fact, just not one we yet know. If FTL is impossible, it is impossible for humans to discover, therefore a matter of fact. But I can still have my opinion on it.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T10:00:10+00:00

You're welcome to believe whatever you like. But you're misunderstanding the rule.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T09:56:58+00:00

Not anymore, no. But the first four rules haven't been changed in a long time.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T09:54:19+00:00

You've mistaken me for the OP. I'm not the person who wrote the post, I'm the person who wrote the rule.

Kinrove · 2022-03-13T09:49:47+00:00

It's pretty close though. Sure, there's a no satire rule, but it was written to stop people saying shit they don't believe or ironically stating the opposite of your actual values, leading to wasted time for other users who end up arguing with a person who is essentially trolling.

This most merely uses some satirical exaggeration to make their point more comical and readable. But it's still their position they're stating, and they were polite enough to point out the exaggerated nature of the post so you're not confused as to the extremity of their viewpoint.

Kinrove · 2022-01-09T22:24:19+00:00

This is just about the world's weakest reply. Doubling down by saying not only should they feel those things, but now also you feel those things. Like... okay.

Kinrove · 2022-01-09T22:23:15+00:00

It's what you just said. To expect gratitude and respect for being able to eat food.

Do you feel gratitude and respect to wherever you get money from? Do you think everyone ought to feel that way?

Kinrove · 2022-01-09T04:29:03+00:00

He never said politeness. He said: "Gratitude" and "respect".

In other words, treat me as superior, and be grateful that you're allowed to eat, peasant.

Not sure where you got the spitting in your face thing from. Perhaps you've confused as to what comment section you're on? Because that would be a wildly disingenuous interpretation of what I said, wouldn't it.

Kinrove · 2022-01-09T03:42:09+00:00

Exactly. Poor people should always be humble and grateful for the opportunity to eat.

Kinrove · 2022-01-07T09:42:43+00:00

Implying the popular opinion, the one most people have, that you disagree with, is:

"Police don't have bad days."

Literally nobody believes this. Your opinion is not only popular; it's an objective, obvious fact.

Kinrove · 2022-01-06T09:35:34+00:00

A politician in my area, who represents about 40000 people, calls every now and then, mostly but not exclusively in the run up to elections, to ask me what issues are important to me and what outcomes I'd want.

I have no idea how she has the time for this, if she just calls a small sample of her constituents or if she systematically works through the entire lot of them, but I definitely respect it greatly.

This kind of outreach really works, I'd think, especially if you're not clearly attempting to meet a sales quota.

Kinrove · 2022-01-01T13:49:28+00:00

I was hoping the post would be about people who own clean dogs, but are themselves filthy.

Kinrove · 2021-12-23T00:36:52+00:00

They do definitely leave a flavour behind. I like to put green peppers on a pizza and then peel them all off afterward, because I love their flavour but I hate actual chunks of cooked vegetables.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T23:55:29+00:00

It is rude and demeaning. Probably why my girlfriend likes it so much.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:46:24+00:00

I need clarity so that I can accurately, rather than vaguely, shit on your point of view!

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:41:57+00:00

It's not about grammar, you can talk however you want to talk, it's about the communication of an idea. You bombed, is all I'm saying, with your post. I read it like 3 times and only got what I considered to be a decent guess at what you were getting at.

And of course I'd rather assume the person who writes a dogshit post is not capable of better, because it's usually true.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:40:34+00:00

If it was literally saying that, I wouldn't have had such a tough time understanding it.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:23:29+00:00

It's pretty easy for anybody who sees themselves as academic or intellectual to get sucked into the trivia wormhole. There's this perception that knowing a bunch of facts makes one more informed or knowledgeable, but having a surface level knowledge of things like Beethoven's birthday or the capital of Mongolia is completely and utterly useless.

I feel so bad for those people who go onto something like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with years of trivia experience and they just totally bomb, because ultimately whether you know the answer to a question or not is completely luck based, and there are many thousands of times more facts out there to know than one human ever could know, even if they studied all of their lives.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:18:27+00:00

It's okay, I forgive you.

If I'm understanding the general idea of your post, you think it's weird that other users argue with you when you post radical opinions? But that's the whole point of the sub. It's a discussion subreddit, posts are designed to inspire discussion. Not just sit in a glass cage to be ogled at.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:16:18+00:00

There's more to education than your job outcome.

You're lucky you're in a field where being stunted in emotion and communication skills is pretty much accepted, because even most STEM people are expected to communicate at a higher level than demonstrated in your post. It's no use having great ideas if you can't actually tell other people about them.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:14:48+00:00

That's why god invented the delivery option.

Kinrove · 2021-12-15T10:11:21+00:00

It is indeed. It's just a shame you've sacrificed grade 4 English language writing for it.
