    I don’t believe I’m entertaining this ridiculous comparison, but….

    We NEED gasoline. We NEED telecommunications. You don’t NEED to tweet dumb shit about your breakfast or keep up with sports scores.

    You’re here to defend X, therefore you’re defending Elon. That’s how it works. Don’t like it, maybe don’t speak up for him next time.

      You may need gasoline, but you don’t need BP’s gasoline. By choosing to buy BP’s gasoline, you support everything BP has ever done. Don’t want to support them, buy different gasoline.

      FWIW, I’m not sure if I have a Xitter account or not. I did at one point. Definitely don’t remember a password, and I probably used a former email account that I can no longer access either, so no way of recovering it if it still exists. I have a severe lack of fucks to give about it.

      But, I am pro-pedantry, and your argument kinda sucked.

      “Defend” lol. I don’t give a shit about Twitter. My level of care is the same level of care I have for you: the sum of zero.

      You live in a world of absolutes. It will be the end of you.

      Also, fuck outta here with your needing a smart phone. You don’t need it. It just makes your life more convenient.

      You support child labor. Don’t like it? Maybe don’t speak up next time.

        Apologies for upsetting you. It wasn’t my intention, but I will not take back my opinion that if you have a X account, you are supporting Elon.

        Owning a cellular phone is in no way supporting child labor. And even if we were to suspend reality enough to agree that it is, then YOU not only are admitting that you support Elon, but you ALSO support child labor.

        Is that true? Do you support child labor and Elon?

        Some things are absolute, bud. But not all things are.

        Learn this and do better.

          Who are you people? Upsetting me? How the hell did you reach that conclusion?

          Be honest with me. How hard is your dick when you’re responding? You have an extremely smug way about you. Which is typical of the far left that comprise the majority membership of Lemmy.

          “learn this and do better” for fuck sakes.

          Though I’m glad you and I agree that you do indeed support child labor. It’s nice to have common ground.

            I’m so sorry that People hurt you that much on Lemmy. Maybe this place is a bit too “rough” for you but you need to learn that the Internet is no safe space for you. If you feel so triggered maybe you should take longer breaks between using it and see how much you can actually stomach it at once. It’s totally okay. No one will judge you, some people can deal better with the “stress” the Internet brings us and some people need to take breaks.
