How to Lose Friends and Annoy People
By Kale Darnegie
Let’s be real nobody’s making friends on internet debate spaces anyway
90% of social media comment sections.
I honestly love when people screenshot memes and accidentally draw random ass lines on them
It’s there to piss you off.
Critical miss
It’s the Venom pouring down on his head, a clip from Spiderman 4
And here I was thinking it was the recycled industrial oil that Rudy G uses as hair color.

I meant to reference
yup that makes more sense
Do you mean https://xkcd.com/1683 ?
Whoops! no, I meant https://xkcd.com/37/
I was unaware of this even being a thing.
I don’t think it’s an accident. It’s an attempt to fool repost detectors.
you’ve been Sigma-ed!
Sheesh, that reminds me of a D&D group I had. One guy started arguing about crap. For example: Group got injured, got brought to safety in town, I described how each group member woke up and asked each one what they want to do in the morning. The problem player complained he should have woken up before the other guy, because he has higher initiative. I didn’t go along with it and said nah, your character got knocked out in the last fight, it only makes sense you get up later.
He kept arguing and arguing and arguing and derailing the entire session. And then brought up “Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it”. So pretty much admitting he’s just arguing for the sake of it at that point. Ended the session there, half the group wanted to kick him out, the other half (as they were friends) wanted to give him a second chance. I did the latter and regretted it in the next session, that’s where the campaign ended.
That Guys, especially when they have misguided friends backing them up, are the death of campaigns.
Something most of us have done one way or another. We’ve all been dickheads sometimes.
Conversely, if someone proves me wrong in a dickish way, I feel no obligation to be gracious about it.
I second that. At some point, you being right doesn’t matter anymore, it’s about opposing smug condescending bad winners.
Im usualy trying to be friendly at the same time.
How to have a discussion in bad faith 101
Does anyone have the copypasta from /r/chapotraphouse that was a Nazi complaining about how we were all psychopaths because he tried to concern troll debate us and we just kept telling him to post hog?
Good times.

Was it that long ago? Pretty much that same thing happened, like, earlier today.
I found the post I was thinking about. It was a /pol/ Nazi and funnier than I remembered.
CW: censored slurs.
I thought their entire mythos was that nothing offended them and that they were the bleeding edge of the internet.
Nazis and not living up to their own mythos - name a more iconic duo.
Hitler and total failure.
Jokes on them I was trolling the whole time. /s
Yes, you have described the concept of a troll, well done.
This is on point, the number of debates in good faith on the Internet are… Not common
What’s with the black streak on his face though?

All while complaining it’s just like Reddit, and they thought it would be different.
OK but why is it called sigmaposting?
sigma nuts
It’s an ironic glorification of things idiots do to be “sigma” (like arguing just to win even when they realize they’re wrong) but just makes them unpleasant combined with a self-awareness that we all do this shit from time to time
layers of irony
Sigmaposting your mom
Sigma balls
Singing balls
Yeah, that really doesn’t make you look good in any sort of way with anybody except yourself maybe.
It really isn’t hard to admit your mistake and move on.
Only losers can’t do that.
That’s what this meme about ‘sigmaposting’ is poking fun at. The sigma wolf is supposed to be the lone wolf who doesn’t need nor care about anybody else, and for some reason some people look up to that as an ideal to pursue. But wolves are social animals, so in reality the lone wolf is a failing loser.
