What makes you think I have no plans? I have plans.

Did you think of that one all by yourself??

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Let us know when you come up with any. I'm guessing the world won't be holding its collective breath for you to be of any help.

If you think a plan for human salvation can fit in a forum comment, I don't think you should risk any damage holding your breath for long.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I see no indication of empathy or compassion from your collective statements. Only contempt and contrarianism and a lot of ego.

Human salvation? I don't believe you have a plan of any length to help anyone, anywhere, save yourself.

With armchair psychologists of your caliber available at all hours, how are licensed professionals still in business?

Somehow you are able to evaluate total strangers' capacities for empathy and compassion from a few forum comments, it's an incredible ability and you deserve whatever size ego you enjoy from it.

You haven't laid out any meaningful or useful plans yet, so do I have to pretend your words still hold meaning by your logic?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I think you just proved my point re: empathy and compassion.

You haven’t laid out any meaningful or useful plans yet

You seem to have forgotten that you declared unprompted that I was not your ally. Why would I tell you my plans?

[–] Cleggory@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You forgot you demanded a stranger spoon feed you the an oversimplified "plan" for the improvement of society.

You, who show equally zero understanding and curiosity regarding easily available knowledge on the Internet of your supposed "knowledge quest."

You forgot your obsession with plans such that anything non-plan can be conveniently dismissed.

I hope you enjoy your "proved point."

This is what you are calling a demand:

Feel free to take a break from the endless sarcasm and let us know what course of action you think people should be taking and what would get them to take it.

If you consider someone saying to you to feel free to do something to be a demand, you are the most irrationally high-strung person I have ever talked to.

Without more to go on, I will take that to mean that yes, you do consider people telling you to feel free to do something to be a demand and are, therefore, the most irrationally high-strung person I have ever talked to.

Good luck with that.

[–] Cleggory@lemmy.world -1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, here's more to go on:

There is no longer anything interesting about engaging with you further.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

And yet you keep engaging with me.

I predict that, rather than stopping, you will reply again, maybe with 'ok,' thinking you'll get the last word. Shall we see how that will work out for you?
