cake day is a colloquial term that means birthday. ~~it's not invented by or for reddit.~~ also being reminded of reddit isn't something to avoid; you can survive. it's just a website. be normal.
edit: it seems like it was probably coined for reddit, but I know it also means birthday now. even if it didn't who gives a shit, the rest of my comment stands.
I think nothing is fine. Or narwhal bacon day for people who just can't let go of reddit.
I keep asking people for examples of cake day being used before Reddit
you know what good point, i guess i was familiar with the term before i was familiar with reddit so I made the wrong assumption. still the rest of what i said is true: it doesn't matter.
if it didn't matter you wouldn't have an opinion on it lol
so if someone asks a question you literally cannot say that it doesn't matter, because in saying so you'll have formed an opinion on it? that's ridiculous.
you just gave the definition of having an opinion. I don't know who you should be angry at about that but it certainly isn't me
I'm not sure you're understanding what I'm saying. but more importantly I'm not sure you're understanding what you're saying.
all I see is somebody still having a conversation 11 hours later about how little they have an opinion on something
yeah, we're not talking about my opinion are we, we're talking about your weird response.
I'm just trying to see where you're going to take this, out of sheer curiosity.
where you will explain your logic. so in your opinion, if someone asks a question, your answer can never be "it doesn't matter", is that it?
you're acting like you just started with "it doesn't matter". that's not where we started. you walked in here telling people to "be normal", so you opened with a factually incorrect statement followed by condescension.
your answer can be whatever you want it to be. but if you proclaim "i don't care" & then continue to engage on the topic, including doing additional research, for the next 14 hours, people are going to notice that you do actually care.
dude you're the one continuing the engagement. you're counting hours and shit like I've been constantly thinking about this when in reality i made a comment and was ready to forget this insignificant fucking thing but you're the one who keeps prolonging the thread. you ask additional questions and when i try to answer them it's supposedly me being engaged and caring so much for x hours, x being updated with every subsequent comment of yours, that I'm doing additional research. it's called looking it up in the dictionary because someone specifically asked and not finding an entry.
turns out i was right in being condescending. just be normal dude, either carry a conversation or don't. but don't come out here with inane shit and then exclaim how it's me who's invested ... for replying to your comments that you commented.
you're an insulting little shit. I was vaguely entertained, but now you're like a rock in my shoe. you were factually incorrect, and you were condescending about it. go fuck yourself
dude you're typing paragraphs at a time trying to convince somebody, yourself apparently, that you're not the one driving engagement here. I don't even know what you're talking about at this point but it takes two to tango bro
I'm verbose, what can I say...
also at least i type one comment at a time, eh. I'd say you have to give up the claim that the other party is driving the engagement once you reply to the same comment twice.
