If you don’t want to be constantly corrected, don’t constantly say incorrect things

If you say something that’s objectively wrong, I’m going to inform you that it’s wrong. I don’t care that you don’t like it. If you don’t like me correcting you, don’t be wrong. “BUt iT’S So aNnoYiNg” what’s annoying is you saying things that are categorically false and continuing to believe them because no one bothered to correct you.

Note that I’m talking about objective truths, not matters of opinion.

It's a tough call because you do hear that a lot but one just grins n let's it slide..not my monkey not my circus

Thank goodness there's one person on here who knows what objectivity is. I presume you have given up your full time job to take this task on? 🙄

@FreddieUK I am quite surprised and disappointed that up until this point you apparently could not distinguish opinion from objective truth. But let me reinforce your new knowledge with an example:

Opinion: Häagen-Dazs is the best brand of ice cream.

Objective fact: Pi is closer to 3 than 4.

@Zeuro Thanks. I was teaching that to my students throughout my teaching career. But it’s good to know that the next generation of people know what it means. Now you just need to learn what irony is.

Please correct me if I’m ever wrong
Zeuro · 26-30, F
@yugimotodm I will do my best 👍

Does that suggest you're always right?
Zeuro · 26-30, F
@SilentObZerver no, it does not 🙄. If I am not confirmed correct, then I don’t correct people! Or I say that I think that what they said is incorrect, but I am not certain, standby while I factcheck.

@Zeuro alright!
Good!

But what if you’re wrong
Zeuro · 26-30, F
@Monalisasmith86 if I literally look it up real time, then how the fuck am I gonna be wrong?? And I know the difference between a credible and non-credible source, so unless the actual experts got it wrong, I’m not gonna cite incorrect facts
Monalisasmith86 · 36-40, F
@Zeuro then why aren’t you a professor
Zeuro · 26-30, F
@Monalisasmith86 why would I be? Being able to google shit doesn’t mean I should formally teach to college kids. And frankly teaching is not something that interests me, neither is getting a PhD

If they say enough incorrect things will your face turn purple and will steam come out of your ears? How many false statements until full nuclear ignition???
Zeuro · 26-30, F
@Muthafukajones not really, I just stay calm and continue to correct them. Typically it is they who have a negative emotional reaction.

So, you're going to continue being obnoxious and annoying heading into 2026. Got it.
