The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

So it was a simple misunderstanding but you just decided to defend it to the death and be a dick about it instead of explaining what you meant. I don't think I could roll my eyes harder if I tried.

Your comments didn't leave room for interpretation. You willy nilly gave out your own definitions and then literally googled "unhoused vs homeless" and threw the first article at me without even reading it. I'm surprised you can even see me from such a high horse. Please.

I did explain. You treated explaining it as moving goalposts because you wanted to be right.

You were so close to being self aware.

I can literally re read the conversation, you only started explaining with an attitude in the last comment.

The time to explain was before you gave made up definitions, not to mention your explanation is a cop out. An explanation doesn't come with salty sarcasm.

The time was before the misunderstanding...

Go touch grass.

The time was after I said it wasn't a synonym. You could have explained that you meant only for you in your own little world, instead you debated, gave me useless definitions and an even worse article to try to prove your point.

Maybe if the explanation came before the sarcasm, I wouldn't still be here explaining the situation.

Tell you what, this is my time to stop responding, that way, you can lie to yourself without me bothering you.
