Also preemptively deciding that me disagreeing with you automatically makes you right because you predicted your explanation wouldn’t satisfy me is just A-tier bullshit.

I predicted that I would waste my time by replying to you, and I predicted right.

I wanted to give it a chance, though, because Lemmy is a place that is friendly enough and that I want to thrive, despite how little I contribute. I tried to be constructive and explain things the best I could, and assume the best possible faith, etc. When you just say that I sound like an asshole, and completely act in bad faith in how russian roulette is supposed to be in the context of someone who says "you can beat me at any game", now I feel the urge to try the block feature in Lemmy, sorry.

Your explanation didn't significantly differ from mine, so it seems to me like I was right that you can't explain this joke in a way that removes the misogyny inherent in it. That's the point here. I made it clear that was the point, and I suspect you knew it was right. That would be another explanation for why you could predict that your explanation wouldn't change my mind.

I've explained how I disagree and given specifics, and you've chosen to ignore them. That certainly is a waste of your time because when you do that, there's nothing to learn. Only you can decide if you're going to attempt to learn something with an exchange or waste it, that's not my fault.

For myself I have learned some things here. I've refined the way I explain this point for one thing. If you want to understand that you could read my replies or ask me, or you could just block me and leave this interaction as a waste of your time. It really is up to you.

These threads are often around for decades; a few days is nothing. I'm not here because I can't let this go; like I said, I'm still having this conversation because I feel like it's helping me clarify my own position. If you don't think it's worthwhile nobody is making you watch.

If you don’t think it’s worthwhile nobody is making you watch.

This isn't worthwhile at all, there are better things to do and more worthwhile things to argue about than a shit post. This doesn't help anybody.

I hope you find happiness and success in your life, but taking path's like these, arguing over something so little for "often decades" with snarky attitudes are the opposite direction towards that.

I'm not saying I'm going to discuss it for decades, obviously. Maybe your lack of reading comprehension is why you don't think discussions have value, because you can't actually gather meaning from them.

Anyway, I assume since you're so above this discussion you'll be taking your own advice and leaving now?
