      Saw a clip of ol Neil coming along and saying that Mount Everest wasn't the highest point on Earth to a physicist because of the equatorial bulge and "sea level" not mattering to physicists.

      Yeah sure just blatantly disregard the entire human perspective of the world and how we as people relate to it to say make up some dumb "gotcha haha" to sound smart.

      So many people, him specifically, are incapable of framing things in a non dismissive way. It could have been an interesting point or piece of information about how how large the equatorial bulge is, but he'd rather come off as an insufferable nerd. nerd

        If the topic was about equatorial bulge, and it got into the various algorithms to calculate the distance between two points on our planet, might have been in danger of having are really good discussion.

        But the semantics on black holes vs other celestial objects?! Nah ... that's just silly nonsense. Like discussing the weather or the colour of the sky.

        The test is, at any point are we in danger of learning something useful? And if not, the OP is just blowing air up our bums.

      Maybe chill with the ableism. You can call a removed a removed without bringing disability into it.

        I think you're referring to the gardening implement, but Hexbear did a funny to your comment:

          Have no idea what that comment was supposed to mean.

          Looks like a word salad. I took it positively; he was just making a joke. And let it be.

            What's confusing about being told to chill it with the ableism? You used dyslexic as a slur.

            Edit: and then misspelt another slur

              Assumes i know what ableism means. It means nothing to me. This is the truth. I could look it up, but it just looks like, lingoism. Just making up yet another bs term, that supposed to just learn about then there is 20 more terms and those need to be learned. It's a never ending loop of lingoism.

              I have other interests. On github everyday, there is not enough time in the day. What my interests are actually matter when deciding what to put time into.

              If this was my thing, i wouldn't dismiss it.

              Censoring my speech, i'm also not really interested in. So i'll say some shiat and people will fake being offended and i'll fake caring that they are offended. Words will be exchanged and life will go on.

                I'm gonna be real with you sib, this has levels. First of all, you don't know what ableism is? Are you 10? Even if you hadn't encountered the word before, are you seriously so ignorant that you can't guess a definition from the fact that it's made up of "able" and "ism"? Even worse, you know you could look it up, but you're rather remain ignorant. What the fuck kind of respect do you think you're gonna get for saying you're an idiot that doesn't want to learn?
                Well take a second to overlook those things though, take the wider view of you refusing to look into a word you're unfamiliar with because it's "lingoism". So you won't find out what a real word means because of a word you just made up. What is it even supposed to mean - some sort of language ideology? Are you saying you won't look it up because it's a word? The entire premise is just so fucking incoherent.

                Censoring my speech, i'm also not really interested in. So i'll say some shiat

                You already used "caunt", so there's 2 possibilities here: either yes you do censor yourself, otherwise you'd be writing shit and c**t, or you're just dyslexic, in which case you're trying to insult people by saying they're just like you.

                Whatever the case is for either part, it is extraordinarily evident that you're thicker than pig shit. Just stay on gitbhub, you don't have the intelligence for opinions.

                  wider view of you refusing to look into a word you’re unfamiliar with because it’s “lingoism”. So you won’t find out what a real word means because of a word you just made up. What is it even supposed to mean - some sort of language ideology? Are you saying you won’t look it up because it’s a word? The entire premise is just so fucking incoherent.

                  Did write, i have other interests. This point didn't sink in or just dismissed cuz differs from expectations. Some people can't see the forest. Or continue zooming out.

                  I zoomed out and decided it's not worth pursuing.

                  Yes coulda gone thru all the motions. Each and every request, by each and every person, on each and every article topic or random thought. Every rode not taken ... is of the utmost importance.

                  Must be stupid or incoherent or whatever cuz didn't go thru the motions when could have.

                    You are stupid because you decided to waste time talking about not knowing what words mean instead of taking a few seconds to look it up. What you write is incoherent because you very obviously have difficulty with both word and sentence formation and heavily lean on phonetics for spelling simple words like "road" - i.e, you suffer from dyslexia, the term you used as an insult in your first comment. You are stupid because you try to use words like "incoherent" and "dyslexic" without knowing what they mean. Do you understand the difference yet?

                  Ah this is fun. I say two terms you decide gonna take offense at. Like it's an Olympic sport. And then you decide it's really fun to call people stupid for not playing a particular game.

                  I love it! Moah!

                    What the fuck are you on about sports for? I'm telling you to look in a dictionary if you don't know what a word means. There's no competition here, I'm trying to teach you basic facts that everyone else already knows.

                    Here, I'll show you what I meant.

                    You are a C U N T

                    See? No using a disability as an insult, just right to the point. Does that make sense?

                  you can’t guess a definition from the fact that it’s made up of “able” and “ism”?

                  There are a billion isms with long stories surrounding each. Faced with another ism, wouldn't assume anything.

                  If had to guess, it has something to do with Cain and Abel. But can't recall if Abel had some an underlying philosophy. Missed that lesson. This is my guess. If had to guess.

                  So the comment came off like it was from a nutter cuz instead of explaining things clearly, threw out some lingoism without a care whether or not it would be understood.

                  Was just honest and said outright have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

                  So then got turned around, Are you stupid?. Can't you guess?

                  The gaslighting is cute. End of the day, its just a word salad. If the intent was to be understood, more time woulda been spent being clear.

                    I just told you you don't have to guess you dumb fuck, ableism actually appears in dictionaries. Unlike "lingoism", a word with no defined meaning, because you just made it up.

                    For fucks sake, you can't even spell able, you have no right to call anyone dyslexic.
