Just click through to the Taiping Rebellion.

Wouldn’t be a lemon party without old Dick.

Is this a region specific thing? I bought these years ago in HD, at some point Google automatically updated them to 4K, and they are still in my library. Should I expect these to disappear for me as well or did Google lose the ability to distribute it in certain countries/regions only?

Lol, literally. Thanks for the laugh. Did you intend to perfectly encapsulate the kind of behavior I was talking about? My previous comment was just two sentences, and only one mattered. But you’re a dick that doesn’t think other people’s words are worth your time so you just saw what you wanted to see so you could keep being a dick.

It is a comment on your capacity for reading, but a self-imposed one.

I’ve found that if someone doesn’t seem to be picking up what I’m putting down and puts some wild spin on it the most likely explanation is that they’re a fucking jerk that doesn’t bother listening/reading and hears/sees whatever they want to so they can keep being a fucking jerk. I don’t jump to disability for an explanation.

I don’t know how long you think it takes to bang out a couple sentences, but I assure you, it’s not hours.

However I do have a lot of time on my hands right now. I’m keeping someone company in a hospital overseas as close to 24/7 as I can manage. And because they are often napping, and I don’t speak the language so the T.V. is no good unless there is tennis or soccer on, and the hospital wifi blocks streaming, and if I streamed in cellular I’d use up my foreign data very quickly streaming; I’m left with going back and forth from reading to lemmy when they’re asleep. So I’ve got all the time I need for as long as you want to continue.

I did not, and do not, agree with your interpretation of Klingon norms and mores. I dropped it because that was a digression caused by me incorrectly trying to come up with an explanation other than you being a natural born douchebag. But you successfully stomped all over that and have proved to me that you are just the absolute fucking worst.

And again, you should try to avoid cheapening serious words by using them where they don’t apply. It’s not ableism to wonder about an explanation. It would only be ableism if I gave you shit for it, and only then if it was actually due to a disability and not you being willfully ignorant. I suspect that this is a choice you’ve made, but that’s just a guess. If I’m wrong, you have my sympathies. But until you tell me otherwise, I’m going to keep assuming you are the way you are by choice and/or inclination not caused by disability.

I have not agreed with you at all. I’m starting to wonder if this is all due to you having a problem with reading comprehension.

And how could you ever live with yourself if you didn’t point it out and give yourself an opportunity to whine?

And there was no purity test, just a possible explanation that didn’t involve you being insufferable, but you successfully put that to rest.

You might want to remind yourself who responded to whom’s comment with a little insult first and reevaluate.

You most certainly have not, else you would be aware of all the instances in the shows and movies a Klingon had made fun of someone for eating, or appears disgusted by, non-living Gagh. They may respect others choices, but they’ll still rib them a bit over it.

I dropped that angle because you demonstrated that you did get the joke and you just woke up today and choose to be insufferable. A choice that I would bet you make more often than not.

A polite person would have just moved along instead of picking a flight over a perceived slight that doesn’t even exist given the context of the joke.

That isn’t nerd shit. I’m just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they just missed the joke instead of whining about something unrelated. Just because this is Lemmy doesn’t mean everyone likes Star Trek, maybe they came across something in all and took it the wrong way, but judging by their other comments, apparently not. They did just want to make something all about themselves.

Do you understand that that’s worse? I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt by suggesting mabye you just didn’t get the joke and thought it was a generic poke at people that like well-done.

But you did get it, and yet you still had to make it all about you to give yourself an opportunity to whine about something.

They next time a group of friends or coworkers makes plans and they don’t include you, and you’re sitting around lonely wondering why, this is why.

In my opinion, he only seems to be respectful. It’s not sealioning, but it’s something akin to that. Maybe there’s a term for it, I don’t know.
