      Well, there’s a couple of flaws with your conclusion.

      The first is that I didn’t say whether or not I believed it. That is irrelevant to the situation which is your own behavior.

      The second point is that being entertained by something does not mean inherently believing it. Someone can enjoy something without thinking it’s pure truth. If you want to argue that fact then I really suggest you never watch a scary movie because you could end up being mistakenly beliving it’s true and them becoming a serial killer!

      Your comment is valid in the sense that it’s allowed to be made. It’s invalid in the sense that it, well, doesn’t make any. It’s a self centered view on the world that acts like you are the be-all and end-all of what gets to be judged. Moreover, you don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept of false entertainment for fun. Seems like a really sad world honestly. Only ever able to watch documentaries. You know. Because reality matches it so you’re not being ‘deluded’.

      Clown.

          “Stop dismissing opinions you don’t like”

          Just after what amounts to “I won’t read that”

          I laughed.

          Aww look at that. Poor lil baby can’t handle it’s delusions being shaken.

          Fuck your feelings.

          I’m not dismissing your opinion. I’m dismissing the tone-deaf and whiny way with which you voiced it. Grow up and engage with reality lol

          Bye kiddo!

              Yeah. Hard to believe someone else nerdy could be happy and in a relationship when they’re not.

                And nerds absolutely will find each other and bond over whatever their thing is. The world is full of stories like this one. People who met their spouses in World of Warcraft, and so on and so forth.

                But boy, am ever I glad us M:tG nerds had much more subtle ways to signal our dorkitude. At least I think we did.

                Hmm…
