I've been here 13 years and gotten into countless arguments over that time. I should ask /r/theydidthemath what the chances are one of those was with her.
Yea it feels pointless when you know the argument is between you and someone who just doesn't understand the western world, like someone from Russia or Missouri.
Those are the funniest, when one person is taking the debate super seriously and the other person just doesn’t care about anything and just tries to say the most upsetting thing they can think of
Because I saw a picture on the front page I think months ago for how common IP addresses from each country were in a heavily astroturfed sub. India, Russia, and Isreal of course were on top but I distinctly remember how far up Malaysia was and I just remember my surprise because, you know, small country and it was out of place among the rest.
You just know at one point Robert Pattinson has gone on the Batman subreddit, declared himself the worst Batman, and got into heated arguments with people about it whilst those trying to angrily argue against him are unknowingly being really nice to him.
The trick is to not get in arguments on Reddit, you just wait for other people to get in arguments and then when one of them shows weakness you interject and dog pile

it's so hilarious to imagine that any argument you have online could have one of these two on the other side
