Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Your first post:

Pretty sure US never had access to Iranian oil reserves.

Your second post:

Okay? That means it's impossible to intervene with positive results, right? It's a literal rule of the universe, lol.

To the untrained eye, your posts appear to lack specificity or detail. Additionally, there does not appear to be a premise suggesting a solution to any problem. However, I'm certain a knowledgable scholar would quickly decipher the coded guidance you have provided us here.

Good sir or madam, perhaps you could elucidate us on which of your fine comments have suggested a solution. And also, perhaps you could also state the problem you believe your solution would solve. I shall wait here in the sitting room.

Good day to you.

You have linked to a comment that does not exist for me when I click the link. I am using the Connect App and am on Lemmy.World. I'm not sure how a removed post should look, but I'm guessing this may be it.

Ok. That worked. Wow. I'll give you this... Your suggestion is fascinating. Not because I think it could work, but because you think it could work.

Also, I'm genuinely fascinated by your repeated use of some variation of "Wake me up when these problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest." You've punctuated numerous comments in the same thread this way. I really don't mean this to sound insulting at all. Are you, by chance, on the spectrum? If so, please forgive my previous abrasiveness as I thought you were just a conservative.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah. Because until these problems get solved doing something I don't suggest, you don't really have a reason to think my suggestions are impossible to work.

Let me know what that happens and I'll concede. Not a moment before.

More insults, lol. Clearly you're not capable of engaging in a respectful manner. Probably because you don't feel confident in your argument and have to attack me personally instead of what I'm saying.

I see it all the time.

Gonna have to block you now. Goodbye.

It really wasn't meant as an insult. I am being genuine. I know folks on the spectrum and I thought your language pattern looked similar.

Maybe your ideas would work, and I actually like the creativity and drive behind them. I just doubt any country would put forth such immense effort and expense. Especially the west where we are so greed driven.
