minus-squareJWBananas@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·11 months ago“I’m dead.” As in “I died of laughter.” I don’t see its relevance here though.
minus-squareSARGEx117@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down2·11 months agoI imagine it’s “what is there to debate you people are so fucking stupid lmao I’m so much smarter because I don’t have to debate it” Completely missing the point of debate.
