Again

The sad part is that this job will eventually lead to a 6 figure salary.

Why. Is. It. Sad. That. Delivery. Drivers. Get. A. Six. Figure. Salary.

Nothing else you're saying takes away from the fact that you literally said this.

I've edited my comment for clarity.

Seriously, stop focusing on your misinterpretation of a single statement...

That's all I wanted! When you make a communication error, correct it. Don't just argue about it lol

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I repeatedly clarified my position. I wasn't arguing about it, I was correcting your misinterpretation.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s really not, as evident by the statement immediately after that you left out.

No, you accused me of misinterpreting what you said by leaving things out, but that's not what happened. The quote I was drilling down on clearly said one thing, even though you meant another, but instead of just saying "oops, what I meant was" you came at me!

I was just telling you what you sounded like. "Evident". It wasn't evident, it was poorly phased.

Right. You couldn't get past your misinterpretation of a single statement, and ignored everything afterwards that clarified that statement. If you feel that I "came at you", that again is a misinterpretation. You're being confrontational. And I'm ending this now.
