Reminder: if you purchase gas from BP, you support anything they've ever done.
Reminder: if you purchase a smart phone, you support child labor.
I don’t believe I’m entertaining this ridiculous comparison, but….
We NEED gasoline. We NEED telecommunications. You don’t NEED to tweet dumb shit about your breakfast or keep up with sports scores.
You’re here to defend X, therefore you’re defending Elon. That’s how it works. Don’t like it, maybe don’t speak up for him next time.
You may need gasoline, but you don't need BP's gasoline. By choosing to buy BP's gasoline, you support everything BP has ever done. Don't want to support them, buy different gasoline.
FWIW, I'm not sure if I have a Xitter account or not. I did at one point. Definitely don't remember a password, and I probably used a former email account that I can no longer access either, so no way of recovering it if it still exists. I have a severe lack of fucks to give about it.
But, I am pro-pedantry, and your argument kinda sucked.
So you popped in to say that you essentially have nothing to say by supporting a shit tier false equivalence argument. Good for you!
you think people don't need smartphones? do you not have a job?
I'm so sorry that People hurt you that much on Lemmy. Maybe this place is a bit too "rough" for you but you need to learn that the Internet is no safe space for you. If you feel so triggered maybe you should take longer breaks between using it and see how much you can actually stomach it at once. It's totally okay. No one will judge you, some people can deal better with the "stress" the Internet brings us and some people need to take breaks.

Take care of yourself and learn what your Body is teaching you!
k.
You seem pretty obviously upset.
Ah, yes, I'm having a conversation with someone with an opposing viewpoint, so clearly I'm upset. Ya caught me.
Is this some odd debate tactic people use here? Tell people they're upset in the hope it gets them upset? Is emotional and mental stability that unstable on Lemmy? Never thought I'd pine for the reddit days.
Do you think we're debating you? We're mocking you.
Sounds good, my man.
I never buy gas at BP or Exxon. Ever. Smart phone though? That's required for my job.
