    Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like…unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.

    Dudes definitely everywhere though.

        Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.

        But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.

          Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.

            See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.

            I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.

            But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you’re in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.

              So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.

                You never asked me if I changed my belief. You decided I still hold it when you said, and I quote:

                FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.

                Then again, I’m not the Flying Squid expert here.

                  I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?

                  If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.

                    You tell me. I’ve never even met Flying Squid apparently.

          Holy cannoli squid, don’t do that to your kid.

      I’ve gotten into it with them at least once and seen some other questionable takes from them but nothing to a grudge over. They’re just opinionated. It’s fine. People take shit on the internet too seriously.
