mycodesucks comments on SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight

Yep me being an uncouth asshole has little to no bearing on my point. It's like those uppity cunts who act like theyre better just cause they don't swear, usually they are morons I mean Mormons and thusly my inbuilt snob filter works wonders.

Hey there I didn’t complain or downvote but also declined to upvote cuz of the two little tiny words of ad hom…..

… (idea!) …

DINGUS! Dingus would’ve saved it!

ya dingus

Perfect, feels very Lemmy-appropriate—gets the insult with a perfect lulz factor so even the parent commenter could’ve kinda laughed (I hope ppl can take jokes!)

…sorry I know I’m not your mom, hope this doesn’t come across maximally prescriptive (just my 2c!)

I ain't using dingus firstly cause I'm pretty sure dankpods has a copyright on it and secondarily it has none of the gutteral bite that damned near every other insult in my dialect has. Also I go out of my way to commit some level of ad hom since I find that it's a fine way to figure out if folks have thick enough skin to take seriously, worst case scenario they throw a punch and that's just a good time for me.

Agreed, but your point will usually be a lot better received if you aren't a dick. SpaceX is a great example- it's a great company, but the head of the company taints the whole thing they are trying to achieve.

It comes down to respect. Even if I'm wrong, treating me with respect will mean I'm more likely to respect you, and if I respect you I'm going to respect your argument.
