    Well, I should hope I am doing the opposite of changing minds. That would be fucking weird to change someone’s mind. The mind they already have is what makes being around them worthwhile.

    But, yeah, I agree to your second point. Computing is one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters going, so we are, indeed, destroying humanity by being here. Worse, unlike food, it provides nothing of actual value. But, at least I’m in good company.

      Literal interpretation? Along with brain-dead takes about the merits of computer science?

      You truly are the “best” of us…

      And just in case you actually do have trouble with text comprehension:

          Are you gonna take off that dunce cap, or are you just an obtuse one trick pony now that you’re out of ideas?

            Did you know that looking at your comment doesn’t cause your comment? Such an interesting point to make, right?

            Oh wait.

              I have no fucking clue what you just think you said.

              But the dumb act doesn’t work after you’ve demonstrated the ability to construct sentences. Then again, you stuck with it long enough that maybe it’s not an act…

              I’m just as willing to slug it out down in the verbal mud, as I am with actual logic. Just please, don’t bore me. You’ve pulled the intentional misinterpretation trick thrice, and now you’re on to nonsensical jabs veiled in attempts at being profound.

              Better material, man!

                I know. That’s what makes it is so funny.

                Just please, don’t bore me.

                It is up to you to ensure you are enjoying your alone time. Have you considered a social activity with other humans if the solitude of writing messages to a computer program is no longer doing it for you?

                  It is. But you’re assuming I don’t have more than just the one hobby, that I do this instead of socializing, and that I don’t cut my losses the instant something loses my interest. Which you’re beginning to do…

                  You’re going for a rise with annoying word salad, and doing a slightly more verbose version of typing ROFLMAO. That’s not interesting.

                    I assume nothing about you, nor do I give you any thought at all. A solitary activity has no reason to pay mind to anyone who may be peering through the bushes. My alone time is for me and me alone. Comments are written for my entertainment, not for anyone else’s.

                    If the metaphorical creeper behind the bush gets a rise out of something he saw as I take in some alone time, good for him, I guess? I don’t know. I have no reason to pay attention to him or his motives. He too is doing his own solitary thing, and it is up to him to figure out how to enjoy his own alone time. If that’s what moves him, cool. Whatever floats one’s boat. It has nothing to do with me.
