Aha

You said something that contradicts an overgeneralization you never tried to make in the first place and I’m pointing this out because it somehow makes me feel better about my own ill-considered decisions of which I was never very confident and must therefore attempt to justify by belittling someone else who is already having a fairly shitty day even though we probably don’t disagree but if I take this opportunity to manufacture a conflict and pretend to win it through intellectual dishonesty I can feel like I suddenly have self-respect even though it just makes me look like a jerk to everyone else.

Please pity me in silence, because if you argued back I’d just make up something else you didn’t say to tell you you’re wrong about.
