i know a dude. i’ve hung out with him a couple times in the last few years. in person, he’s mostly entertaining. sometimes he says shit that’s annoying. nothing too horribly draining. i generally consider him okay to be around, and am amused by him sometimes, although he occasionally seizes on really maddening things to pick up as running jokes, and i have in the past occasionally had to say things like “buddy… no. stop.” No big. Mostly harmless. I don’t care that much in real life.
I blocked him on facebook like, three years ago I think, it was just too much. He really likes libertarianism, with all the 101-level Problematic shit that goes along with that. (Look, I was super into libertarianism too… when I was thirteen. Basically as soon as I read a fucking book I got over it, but when I was an actual child, I thought it was a keen idea. So I’m not totally unsympathetic, except for the fact that this is a grown-ass man with a wife and a baby.)
He’s popped up on Twitter since the election and is… I think he thinks this is something people do for fun. He keeps, more or less, sealioning me. And i honestly can’t tell when he’s joking and when he’s serious. I tersely slap him a rebuttal each time, because it’s always basic shit, and like, half the time he’s like, “i know but” and the other half he’s like “i was kidding”.
I finally said, “I don’t find any of your stuff funny lately, maybe cut it out.” and he was like ‘oh i hope you feel better!’
And i’m like, “i hope you figure out how to be funny,” but i deleted that and just said “thanks :)” because fuck, really?
Ugh. WHY ARE DUDES LIKE THIS.
