    no offense, but “i work in the actual world” comes off rudely dismissive, and possibly a bit narrow minded. like, how did saying that help support your argument at all, and why assume others dont exist irl?

      Because if someone doesn’t preface with the fact that they are referring to real, lived experiences and not twitter screenshots, then they are dismissed as being chronically online.

      The stuff you said? That’s how you read it and perceived it, but it’s not what is said. And it’s not my job when arguing with people about dumb internet shit to figure out and account for how an offhand refutal comment will come off.

      I also don’t care if I’m being rude or snide. If you feel belittled, then you are insecure. I’m just a random douchebag on lemmy whose direct opinion of you, you shouldn’t care about. So if you feel belittled, it’s your own fault. Block and move on.
