          Quick, someone said “irony” and nobody knows what that is! I’ll vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore I won the debate.

            Happens more often than you’d like to think.

              You mean the bit where you vaguely point at a non-specific dictionary as if they were wrong, and therefore won the debate? Maybe you should stop doing that and people will downvote you less.

                I guess I’m so old that I assume Merriam-Webster is unspoken default. Do you have a different dictionary that you prefer?

                    If you have one specific one in mind

                    Merriam-Webster.

                    Although the definitions overlap heavily, so you’re not pegged to that one.

      Got caught spewing incomparable pictures and childish responses?

      Are Jill Stein and Tankies the same? Just asking questions…

        Fascist speak strikes again. Lemmy’s really taken a downturn since the last Reddit exodus.

          You make no sense. The phrase has no connection nor intent in alliance with fascism. You showcase exactly what people are trying to point out and yet again, your only come back is a childish remark about some reddit exodus and in doing so trying to place yourself above others. Your message, if you have one that is, is lost due to your superiority complex.

            You make no sense.

            Try reading slower. Maybe focus on the smaller words.

            You showcase exactly what people are trying to point out

            Irrational hatred of third parties, driven by memes and fanatical devotion to a single party, showcase more than I could ever hope to.

            Your message, if you have one that is, is lost

            Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
