If they are a real person, then their existence is just plain sad. Spending that much time arguing online achieving absolutely nothing at all besides making everybody dislike them and causing harm to others.

Linkerbaan isn’t a rational person, nor participating in good faith. Their entire existence is arguing with people online and accusing people of loving genocide.

They appear to be from the Netherlands, or a similar European country. TrickDacy pointed out their time zones of activity aren’t based in the US, and the name Linkerbaan stems from Dutch.

Which begs the question, why do they care so much about bashing politicians in a country across the ocean, and why only ever Biden/Harris in particular? Linkerbaan, to this day, never answers why he doesn’t ever attack Trump for being even worse than Biden or Harris ever would be for Gaza. It’s almost like he doesn’t really care about what’s good for the people of Gaza, and just wants to push an agenda.

inb4 I get called an evil genocidal Zionist maniac, because Linkerbaan always does this when called out or someone disagrees with him: I fully support Gaza and the Palestinians, and absolutely despise the Israeli government and Hamas. Nothing about the Gaza situation is remotely acceptable and the Biden administration should do better. However, refusing to admit Donald “Finish the Job” Trump isn’t the worse option is ignorant at best and actively harmful for the Palestinians at worst.

Should be towed outside the environment where nobody can see it.

My old HP laptop cooked itself to death trying to run Minecraft.

Vice Grip Garage is also a good vintage car rescue channel like Digs.

Let’s just say David Eddings (the VA) and Randy Pitchford are not on good terms…

You shouldn’t judge a channel purely by thumbnail. Everyone else in this thread can attest to the high quality of his videos.

…Have you never watched Technology Connections before? None of his videos are clickbait. Quite the opposite, the entire video is about whatever is in the title.

And latent heat.

But can it go 500,000 more?

I said this on another thread posted by a very antagonistic vegan: Acting holier-than-thou, smug, and hostile is not a good way to convince people of your arguments. It pushes people away and biases them against you and the argument you’re making.

Far too often I see vegans outright shaming and harassing people for choosing to eat meat, or acting smug and superior because they are making “the right moral decision” and everyone else is lessor for thinking otherwise. I often see them call people “stupid” and “lazy” for not making the same choice they did.

Now, if I came here acting the same way, but I was championing eating only meat and shaming others for eating vegetables, I’m sure vegans would be upset for the same reason.

It’s gotten bad enough that a lot of people (admittedly myself included) are put off by vegans and their arguments. Not because the arguments don’t have merit (they certainly do) but because enough vegans have acted antagonistic or smug that they get shunned for it when the discussion gets brought up, because it’s what has become expected.

If you really want people to listen to you, you need to frame it from a friendlier and more down-to-earth position and not come across as hostile. The human mind tends to close itself off immediately when faced with hostility. This doesn’t just apply to discussions about veganism, but any discussion in general really.

This might not be a “stupid” question, but it sure is a loaded and leading one that for sure isn’t in good faith. Welcome to my block list, enjoy your stay.

It’s almost like being extremely antagonistic and smug doesn’t convince people of your arguments and just puts them off…

They’re authoritarians like the Nazis, but they aren’t Nazis. They like Stalin’s approach to authoritarianism instead.

Buddy, I’m quick to reply because I’m using Lemmy at this exact moment and get notified of your replies right away. Why on earth is that considered “obsessive?”

You’re so off track at this point. I don’t have any relation with this other person. Have you considered that more than one person can reply to a comment thread? Did you even think to actually look for more than 5 seconds before making baseless accusations, or did you just decide to double down?

All I was wondering is why you were continually replying to somebody instead of realizing they clearly don’t care about what you have to say. You’ve never learned what “Don’t Feed The Trolls” means and it shows. I asked one question and you immediately start making baseless accusations.

Well, I’ll let you get back to it then, I have no further interest in talking to either of you. Blocked.

What…? You’re completely off track here. I’ve been on this platform since the Reddit exodus, you can scroll through my entire post history and find out yourself. I’m not the other user.

Because I read this thread and was curious seeing how far you two would go. Clearly the other user isn’t interested in answering any of your questions, so why bother continuing?
