    On Lemmy it’s more like, I realised I was wrong 5 comments ago and now I’ll just trying to soothe my ego by arguing semantics, but when I run out of things to say I’ll just block everyone.

      I love how everyone thinks they’re master debaters here but would get absolutely dog-walked in any other setting. Or just laughed out of the room

        Hey now, I know I’d get stomped on by twats like Ben Shapiro IRL, but give me 10 minutes alone in a bedroom with his sister and I’ll make him regret it.

          Lol. You could probably take Ben, there’s a reason why he and the TPUSA team only ever argues with children.

          You’ll have to fistfight me for Abbi’s massive Hebrew heavies tho

          Believe it or not, that’s not really a disqualifier to competitors. The sport is pretty professional and uses a way different skillset than people realize, fluent unbroken english not being one of them

      Engagement and data collection … sometimes it’s just a way to collect data. Anyone that responds gets added to their list of accounts that have a live person.

      They do the same for telemarketing, email, mail, phone, sms, and any other contact request … once there’s a response, it’s confirmation that the account has a human owner

      If you do it well enough they’ll call your ass. And if you’re smart you don’t answer the first call. If you can bait them into leaving a voicemail you’ve won.
