    You made a factual statement about the app pushing Chinese propaganda. I was wondering what the source was for that claim? Sorry I wasn’t clearer.

    Also, lol. I wasn’t making fun of your age, I meant it as more of a statement of on your way of thinking. It’s very boomer-like - that is to say, you seem quite close-minded and stubborn and unwilling to consider that you might be wrong.

      I am constantly wrong. I have probably been wrong in the past year more than you ever have in your entire life.

      Also, you’ve insulted me and now lied about me, claiming I never am willing to consider I’m wrong, so why the fuck would I show you a source for any claim I ever make at this point?

      I realize I deserve to be treated like shit but that doesn’t mean I am going to accept lies about me.

        I never insulted you, bud. Sorry if what I said hurt you. Hopefully we can work through this.

        You certainly don’t deserve to be treated like shit, and I still think you’re pretty cool.

        Hoping you get this and haven’t blocked me! lol

            If it helps, I just went along this comment chain and I think they’re honestly trying to provide constructive criticism. I don’t see bad intent. A lack of tact, though? Yeah. Definitely.

            Also, I see you’re going through some shit. I’ve seen some of your posts and know you’re also dealing with chronic illness. If you need to chat by phone or online, I’m available. Even if you don’t take me up on it now, the offer stands, any time. It’s tough to deal with even when it doesn’t seem like the world is so unstable, so we’ve all gotta stick together.

            Those weren’t meant as insults bro.

            It’s something many/most of struggle with. It’s not a death sentence or a stain on your character or some kind of moral flaw.

            It’s just how you communicate. It’s not conducive for true connection with others. That’s all I’m saying

            I only started realizing it about me like the last 2 years. I never used to actually try and connect with people… like I’m doing now. Sucks it under these circumstances, but that’s life

            I’m free all day man
