I cannot imagine how stupid someone would have to be to actually think what you just said means anything of consequence and I’m possibly one of the stupidest blokes on Lemmy.

I didn’t know who he is until this thread, but from the few articles I’ve since read about him, I absolutely hope he dies slowly from acid burns over 95% of his body.
If somebody tolled me the left is an older picture of the person on the right…
That’s literally what this is. That’s the joke.

This line of reasoning may have made me even stupider.
In a healthy society people have the critical thinking skills you lack.
Do you realize how hard you deflect or is your normal MO just a constant red herring fishing expedition?
I’m going to break this down in summary for the audience, then I’m disengaging to preserve my mental health.
You: these people just want to live in Portland because it’s fun. They should move. Jobs are everywhere. I work from home.
Me: that’s an awfully privileged thing to say (as in, jobs aren’t everywhere for everyone and not everyone can work from home, including the electrician husband in the article).
You: The woman in the article is privileged too.
Me: what does that matter?
You: she could work from home like me.
Like any of that has any bearing on anything. You’re just stretching hard to justify being judgmental and are cranking out bad faith arguments to support that.
But so do the folks in the article (also have privilege):
And that is relevant to my comment how?
I suspect you’re just deflecting now as that’s not what your comment communicated or suggested. You said they’re making their decision to stay in Portland because they want to live somewhere fun, something that isn’t even suggested in the article.
When you make a statement with no evidence to support it, it’s often referred to as “making shit up”. If you can cite a reference in the article that explicitly states that they’re staying in Portland because they want “fun”, I’ll eat my words and issue a public apology (edit: as a post, not a comment, on .world for all to see.)
Wow, a critical comment that adds nothing of value to the conversation, attacking the commenter instead of the comment. Even more shocking!
I work from home. Everywhere has a job.
Someone here clearly hasn’t checked their privilege or even just thought about it.
But, no, these folks weren’t complaining about jobs. They were complaining about not having stuff to do.
If you actually read the article, you’ll see this is also just made up.
Or maybe where their friends and family live? Where their kids have friends and support groups? Maybe where they’ve lived much of their life and don’t want to leave?
The previous poster is just making shit up so they can cast shade. It’s sad, really.
Assuming they’re referring to the Christian God, a selfish, emotionally unstable mega toddler, their behavior would be appropriate.
Big oof here. Maybe make sure you understand what you’re talking about before criticizing others?
I think you meant gambling, but gamboling is probably disallowed by these nitwits too.
“Yaehab, such demonstrations of joy allow Satan into your heart!” *Backhands child*
You criticizing anyone for fabricated arguments to get mad at is pretty fucking funny.
I’m 99% certain you’re from the United States if you think MSNBC is anything beyond center to center left.
Nice collection of straw men you made there. Real nice.
Wow, I was wrong. You’re even stupider than I thought!
