      I don’t know what version of Scrabble you play, but I’ve never seen a directive for how to read out sentences that happen to show up on a Scrabble board. Feel free to point them out to me.

          It seems squid just misinterpreted the intent of the first comment. I doubt they were just trying to shit on your joke.

          It happens sometimes.

        lol they’re just reading the individual words the way scrabble would read them

        pi and sac are scoring words

        squid had a bad day maybe?

          I don’t know, looks like I pissed a bunch of people off and probably gained another few people who hate me when I didn’t think what I said was anything but just playing along, so it sounds like a pretty typical day.

            ok well, so you know, you came off as pretty sassy and oddly defensive

            i relate to having my attitude misunderstood though

              It’s a good day when only one or two people tell me what a horrible, worthless person I am (I guess three if you include myself), so I guess this is one of the occasional good ones.

              Edit: Come to think of it, there are no good ones and if I didn’t have real world responsibilities, I don’t know that I would want to keep existing.

                Hey, for what it’s worth (which is up to you to decide), I enjoy your being here. I get that you’re beyond frustrated about your personal life stuff. From what little I do know, it sounds horrible. So no shade there at all. It’s tough.

                But, despite that, you come here and have helped build communities where people can go and let off steam and forget their personal shit for a few moments, and for some of us, that’s tremendous. You could shrug it off; you’ve not met these people in real life. I don’t know, maybe you have. But to some of us, it’s a little something we can look forward to because it helps us cope when we have little else. So thank you for that.

                Anyway, carry on and fuck the haters. You can’t please everyone.

                You’re neither horrible nor worthless. I think they got the joke and were just listing all of the words made. They read it like a “don’t dead open inside.”

                Regardless, it’s brilliant work. I’ve already sent it to several friends. Great post!

                  Yes, hence my saying I also think I am a horrible, worthless person.

                  Also hence my saying I would not continue to exist if I didn’t have real world responsibilities.

                  I have been shown very clearly by the universe that I’m a mistake.

                    You know, there comes a point when you should also realize the shit you cause other people when you just spew stuff online.

                    Take a break once in a while dude.

            You have fallen to one of the classic blunders. The most well known of which is never discuss a land war in Asia on lemmy.ml. But only slightly less well known is to never assume some random geeky thing is not a passionate fandom.

            You’ve upset the Scrabblers by slightly misrepresenting the rules of Scrabble in order to make a pithy joke. For this, they will never forgive you.

            My dude, you haven’t pissed anyone off here that I can see, you’ve just gotten overly defensive and are seeing slights where there aren’t any. People are disagreeing with you and some may be critical of your responses but that doesn’t mean anything is heated. Maybe take a short break from Lemmy and get a glass of water or something? I mean that with 100% sincerity. If you’re interpreting these comments as hateful you’re probably in a bad headspace and I’m doubtful the internet is going to help.

                Those words never came out of my mouth you petulant troll.

                You kept repeating the phrase, and I kept ignoring it since it was the most obvious bait ever.

                I get some people like what you do here, but you also cause a larger amount of people shit with your on and off ignorance. It’s obvious its attention seeking, get off social media and read a fucking book or do something with your “sad pitiful” life. You’re not incapable of working if you can spend this much time commenting on fucking social media.

                Yeesh dude….

                  No one likes what I do here.

                  Some people claim they do, but they’re lying.

                  If I’m a troll, please do flag me. Maybe I’ll get banned. That will make you happy, right?

                  Anyway, I’ll be dead in a year and then I’ll no longer be a problem for you.
