These people are under the impression that secondhand smoke is sentient and immediately finds the nearest non-smokers lungs to pollute. I wouldn’t expect logic to get through to them.

I make it a point to not discuss things like this when people aren’t thinking clearly.
When you smoke a cigarette the smoke doesn’t automatically find the nearest non-smokers lungs in order to harm them. The smoke settles, and there are more than enough places far enough away from people to smoke at.
If you’re worried about secondhand smoke harming you in any context outside of smoking indoors - I’m sorry but you just aren’t thinking clearly.
I just think it’s odd that you immediately associate smoking with being an asshole - unless they’re quitting. Like you make it very clear that personal agency is important to you - but smoking makes you a piece of shit.

Can’t help but feel a “my body my choice, your body my choice” vibe from this
I’ve seen bad takes from you before but Jesus christ the comments ITT tops them all
*for writing anything between a basic and intermediate reading level.
The guy suggested that practicing basic hygiene is ‘faking it’ and trying to ‘fit in’.
I don’t want to use the words ‘lost cause’ but I’m getting close.
If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.
That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.
I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.
It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.
That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.
I’d certainly be interested to know for the sake of donations. I would gladly donate to keep the fediverse alive.

This is OP’s response. You’re not the first person on Lemmy that seems to think it’s impossible to read other people’s comments.
I put the /s there because I was in no way serious.
Please understand, I am on your side here.
Fair point.
Counterpoint: have you ever considered just not having trauma?
/s
I didn’t realize that I should be over bad things that have happened to me simply because I’ve reached x age.
Phenomenal, it’s just that easy! Just don’t have trauma, why didn’t I think of that?
Why does being 40 somehow mean they need to change?
Yeah I looked at your comments and saw that thread, where the person was claiming that computers functioned by spirits being summoned from rocks and other nonsense.
The sheer ridiculousness of it forced me to hop in and take a look, and I sure did get a good laugh out of that. Had to leave my two cents and go. I’d be more inclined to believe it’s that weirdo too.
I mean, for fucks sake, the state is magic? Money is magic? The placebo effect is magic?
This person* probably thinks the wind is magic.
Edit: also you were close! Tautologically, one ‘o’ off.
Edit 2: if they respond to you again, hit em with the God of the gaps fallacy.
Edit 3: * I editted this because I’ve spoken to this person a little more. I don’t think they’re dumb, I think they just have a very unique perspective.
How is this getting downvoted? Did you piss off some trogs in a different thread?

Testing? You expect this person to consider testing?
That’s an extra step that will realistically lead to more work! That’s outrageous, can’t have that. Just won’t do.
