      I’m just about done with lemmy to because of assholes like you. Jesus christ its worse than reddit.

      All it would take is, hey not how sugar highs work you don’t actually get energy from them, what actually happens is a dopamine rush that makes people happy and happy kids tend to run around and play more.

      Took me 2 minutes of googling to find that. Did i ever say this list is bullshit? Should be burned? Has no factual basis?

      No, i just gave my experience, what i seem to have seen in my life, and question the list. I’m happy to have a conversation about it or i wouldn’t have posted.

      But you just go around insulting people and comparing them to Trump supporters. Grow up. Have a damn conversation. Stop trying to turn everything into an argument

        I feel that. There’s a lot of smug superiority online in general, where people seem to think that someone being incorrect about something is an invitation to insult them, and where the harder you insult them, the better. It’s sad. I blame television to some extent. TV shows and movies love to portray tough conversations ending with some sort of hard but true emotional jab that snaps the other person into understanding. Total bullshit, that rarely works in real life.

        I’ve taken to politely calling them out and questioning the rationale behind their behavior. That’s what someone did to me about twenty years back and it helped me get my ass in line. I’m hoping it’ll do the same for a few of them. As the least, I know who to block if their response is just as nasty. My block list is long but my time here is much more peaceful!
