The word you're looking for is "curmudgeon".
What I was actually trying to do is encourage a discourse that furthered society, rather than rehash a trope such as the one found at the source of this thread.
I'm not confident that this will actually eventuate here, but I'm hopeful that someone will pleasantly surprise me.
tips fedora. Ah, a fellow articulate. I too galavant through Lemmy in search of stimulating discourse. Unfortunately, I am met with conversation that is most superfluous. Heh. You've probably correctly surmised my IQ is higher than most.
Good luck fellow intellectual. Let us further society.
Nah, you were just being a dick for no good reason.
We're on Lemmy. No conversation on here or on any social media is likely going to "further society" in any way.
How about instead of coming in and being a dick in someone's thread, you post things to encourage what you're looking for?
No, it must just be easier to smell your own shit in the garden than finding a toilet.
Nope. The words I was looking for is fun-sucker and party pooper. Let people have fun lol
