Well, something other than your usual ceaseless negativity would be refreshing.

I don't think I've ever seen you post something productive. It's just constant negativity, pessimism, tearing other people or ideas down.

I've never seen you react positively to a positive idea or add anything that would lead to any kind of actual improvement. And then when you ask "what can I possibly do" and someone replies with something you could actually do to contribute to the thing you're complaining about, there's no reply.

I get that you have tough life circumstances, but you're just not contributing anything to anyone with this stuff.

Well then you should look through my post history to correct your hilariously false view of me.

K, I just did. It was pretty reaffirming.

Then you must not have been very thorough, but you go ahead and believe what you like. The amusing thing is that you're berating me for not being productive which doesn't sound especially productive to me. Have you thought of being more productive?

(Also, what a corporate mindset! You must be productive even if you aren't being paid!)

Who am I going to believe, my own lying eyes?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How about my eyes? Like the positive and productive post you made where you lied about what I said?

I never said it was "irreparably damaged by crack seepage." Why are you lying? In my very first post, I expressed relief that it wasn't damaged.

That is what I was hoping to hear.

And I still say doing a stunt that even makes it look like you’ve done some real damage to Stonehenge right in the middle of a religious festival does not make you look like the good guys. People in another thread said it spread awareness. Who isn’t aware? I’m fully aware of climate change and there’s fuck all I can do about it.

But at least it was not permanent vandalism.

So... Did my negativity and lack of productivity make you illiterate or are you just telling a blatant lie? Because it's one or the other.
