Let's be real nobody's making friends on internet debate spaces anyway

This.

I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen "tank man" incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn't share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.

When I said "the incident did happen and there's photographic evidence" she told me "Google it there's no photo "

Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There's more than one, actually.

I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument "that photo is known to be staged."

It's the Venom pouring down on his head, a clip from Spiderman 4

I was unaware of this even being a thing.

you've been Sigma-ed!

Honestly in a way that kind of thing kind of ruins any chance of trusting the guy, mostly bc you can't trust him not to completely nuke the campaign bc he's being an utter dick (which by the sound of it he totally did). The first time someone starts shit for fun, how do you know they won't do it again every other time you hang out with them? Now you just have to assume they're a bitter and immature enough person to always think that it's fun to shit on everyone else's day.

That Guys, especially when they have misguided friends backing them up, are the death of campaigns.

Conversely, if someone proves me wrong in a dickish way, I feel no obligation to be gracious about it.

Im usualy trying to be friendly at the same time.

It's an ironic glorification of things idiots do to be "sigma" (like arguing just to win even when they realize they're wrong) but just makes them unpleasant combined with a self-awareness that we all do this shit from time to time

sigma nuts

Does anyone have the copypasta from /r/chapotraphouse that was a Nazi complaining about how we were all psychopaths because he tried to concern troll debate us and we just kept telling him to post hog?

Was it that long ago? Pretty much that same thing happened, like, earlier today.

That's what this meme about 'sigmaposting' is poking fun at. The sigma wolf is supposed to be the lone wolf who doesn't need nor care about anybody else, and for some reason some people look up to that as an ideal to pursue. But wolves are social animals, so in reality the lone wolf is a failing loser.
