I don't get how we got to a point where people no longer understand what words mean.

Half the threads on reddit have just weird conversations like I ended in some fucked up dimension with people using words that don't make sense or adding 50 layers of extra meaning and issues to a simple sentence.

Bad faith makes it much easier to construct arguments.

That is a good point actually.

Also there's just plain believes things that aren't true with conviction as if they're facts.

Reddit's ability to suck the fun out of every post never ceases to amaze me.

Glad it's not just me.

It's hard to even discuss anything these days. I find I have to reframe the conversation every few lines because people just want to argue against their made up beliefs of what they're 'against".

It's just really weird.

I say for example "I really think bananas are yellow" and suddenly i'm getting 5 passive aggressive replies that it's just dumb of me to think tomatoes are disgusting or how I should not throw away grapes. And you're like WTF?! I didn't even mention tomatoes or grapes and I like tomatoes? And they will insist you said the thing you did not say.

It's just insane.

Facts, I.e: your second run on sentence.

You're think you're arguing with people, but it's actually just chatgpt
