Note that every step of the way, after being rude to the guy who is right 30% of the time about whatever (I'm not sure what sport he really watches but accommodating is what you aspire to in public spaces) it's me being epistemically curious and looking for it and hoping to get a clear view of whether or not helmet is meeting helmet, even admitting my own shots don't necessarily work as proof.
But then getting still photos when I've explicitly said still photos are an issue, including my own as if more still photos and a replay of the broadcast angle would convince me. Or as if you're dunking.
Like you guys
a) don't know what the words you use mean
b) don't know the concepts behind the tactics you accuse people of using
c) then when corrected with "I could be wrong" qualifications, you call the person "pedantic"
This is not what anybody signs up for and it's why you'll never have threads like Sigmund Bloom starting a thread and then Maurile Tremblay and others will join in and give a grad school-level discussion that reveals how each one models their projections if you're reading carefully. And before you laugh, these are guys who have their methodology discussed in news outlets like the New York Times. You know, simple stuff you can access right here if you just looked. You might even ask them nicely.
And there was a time I think I was reasonably tolerated, at least.
But this ****? This is no longer a situation I can abide. Am I a jerk at the beginning of this thread. Yup. But my patience has worn thin with "I have this guy so he's good because of X" and the endless unaccountability of board-wide and insistent predictions, declarations, and proclamations that are just . . . what sport are you watching again?
This saddens me a bit, but whoa. Crystal.
I mean I keep adding but read this.
c) then when corrected with "I could be wrong" qualifications, you don't apologize and say "my bad," but call the person "pedantic," and if there was ever a person who knew the definition of that word and was deliberately and self-consciously aware of his vocabulary and conceptual deviation from the mean and tried be circumspect about it—it was that very guy, and especially in a case where he says in that very post maybe he's using the word the poster used wrong and that he just looked it up himself, which sounds nowhere near pedantry if you knew what that word meant. So the "pedantic" post gets six likes and seemingly generalized agreement. And this idiocy is justified always and all the time "but he . . ."
Just say "I don't like you." Say what I just said to fatness.

Seems odd, then, that you'd behave this way, or perfect that you'd act this way without knowing what you were assenting to.
Either way, I'd like to welcome you to Footballguys. You seem like you'd fit in outstandingly and I can tell by the cut of your jib you'll be in perfect harmony and downs with fatness and the others in the chorus. Play nice, dear.

I put the relevant part in boldface font so you could easily separate the high-level fantasy analysis from the more personally confessional if you were having trouble doing it yourself upon a closer re-reading. I don't want you to have to feel like you need to challenge yourself by comprehending and contextualizing all three sentences, so I tried to keep it monosyllabic also, but I'm wondering about my use of the word "assent." "Cut of your jib" has been used ironically and often enough to where its usage changed and its context adjusted, but I'm going to give you the credit you've earned in my book and just say, "What the hell?!" throw caution to the wind, and use it regardless.
Cheers!

6 minutes agoNeware you INFJ?
zero judgement, but you seem to really grab hold of an idea, can't let go, and get upset when not understood? Or maybe it's 'just' a spectrum thing?

No, I can easily let it go. Dude, do not write me. Do not contact me. I am not your friend.
Wait, I'm calmer now.
You really have no idea, do you? What idea am I grabbing a hold of that I can't let go of? When have I done this in the past and why would you, judging by the tone of your inquiry, assume that any idea that I had "grab[bed] hold" of would render me obsessive enough to the point where it was evidence of autism?
I think you should answer this. Or, I'll tell you what. You don't have to. But do me a favor and look at your communication and ask yourself what I'm asking: is this generational or would you actually say this to a stranger you didn't know?
eta* Oh, you're talking about a personality designation and then saying 'just' on the spectrum.
That's like an invitation to write a manifesto. No, I highly doubt that's my personality type, but possibly. I wouldn't know, actually. I'm kind of a möbius strip, maybe. Like what they said female strippers are. Or at least that's the last time I concerned myself with personality types or heard actual discussions about astrological things or social psychology discussions regarding one's "personality type."

Somebody has to tell me how bending over backwards to understand something and even saying, paraphrased, “it’s not important that you know the name” of the illusion you’re describing is “pedantic.”
Like in what world??
It's weird because I used to hope to heaven that there was a God and that my soul was eternal. I would reunite with my earthly family and friends somehow, even though I told myself the afterlife, if it existed, was so far beyond my comprehension that I couldn't even begin to imagine it; but now I've seen that there is the possibility that eternity could mean having to listen to a bunch of you forever and have to hear the newly-groomed resident hyena idiotically cackling out his soundless emojis in the background; and the specter of those expressing anger born of the hubristic certitude of the clueless mixed with the laughter greeting every contribution anybody who was sane would be making, and I'm scared straighter than the Fates would have been in England when Winthrop christened his voyage with the 'City on a Hill' admonition. I'll bet they looked at each other like they were losing the greatest job ever, but relinquished the gods gig to fight for free will
Listening to this tripe is no longer fated for me at all, and it has done me the service of saving money on Pascal's wager. I'm coming at it differently now. I'm convinced that there's a possibility this might be eternity, or that there's at least a .000000001% chance of that being the case, so I'm hoping to hell this world and this experience is just an accident of matter and when I leave that this is as delimited and fully over as an eternally postulated negative I could never comprehend.

One last one:
Wry smile, coppin' legal weed from fake hole in the wall
I don't want to go see Nas with an orchestra at Carnegie Hall
No man of the people, I wouldn't be caught dead with none of y'all
"Don't call me again" what I'll say when you call . . .
First time I saw them put a trap in the car, eyes wide
Felt like the internet, snipers in the minaret
Little tiny spoon for the mignonette
The job was to sit there all day and press refresh
Confident I'd never see 'em again
And if so, so what? You get what you pay for in the end
