This is exactly why this couldn't be done online. People behave very differently online than they do in person. For one you probably wouldn't say half the things you have said here. Second you would probably have realized by now I am not a physical threat unless I am in actual danger, which chances are neither are you. To quote a song: "some people fail to realize that real life and internet are not the same". I also don't know you at all aside from what I have seen today, nor do I know the kind of people you hang out with, or what emotions you are feeling. Since I don't have that context I can't really tell what the problem here is. It is entirely possible you just aren't a reasonable person in general, and you are best off being avoided, but I am hoping that isn't the case.
My guess is there is some kind of issue here on your end, that could probably be resolved quite quickly over some pints. Instead we are arguing over something incredibly trivial for longer than is necessary without any really good reasons that I can see. My guess is someone hurt your feelings either in this comment section or in real life, and because you can't process that over the Internet you are instead being belligerent.
Also I find it funny that you, the one who is being both unreasonable and personally insulting, accuse me of not having any friends. If anyone is going to push people away in this discussion it's going to be you. You are repeatedly trying the patience of people here including me for no good reason.
You are clearly about... a half to a third of my age.
If you came at me with this kind of energy I'd be doing exactly what I'm doing now. Laughing at you. Doubly so if you came at me with a gaggle of your teenaged to (possibly early 20s?) friends.
I'd walk away because I'm pretty sure my ears would be ringing, thankfully, we are on the internet, and we can discuss things, with words. Wanna give it a shot?
What do you think we have been doing this whole time exactly?
Appeal to age isn't going to work here. Especially given I have seen how some people older than me choose to behave, and all the questionable choices they make. Likewise I have seen people significantly younger who are both smarter, and more mature than I am.
If you really want to talk about age and maturity then I would say you are behaving like a 16 year old at best, and an annoying one at that. I want to believe that you aren't normally like this, I really do, so why do you keep giving me reasons to doubt that?
You know I gave all the reasoning for everything I wrote in the comments, right?
What specifically do you have an issue with? I'll copy paste it for you since you're such a sweetie. You might have to wait a bit if you wait too long, I should probably get started on my day soonish. I'll give you a solid 10 minutes though, Make em count.
