Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The whole "well shit" portion is because I usually don't buy into that stuff, and this was legit an eye opener for me. I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment. But I'm lazy.

But I got the opportunity to make a dumb joke about math that you seemingly got mildly butthurt about, so really it all works out.

I read my reply a few times now, and I'm not seeing what makes you think my feeling was hurt? I was by no means offended, thought we were just talking?
If I had been offended, believe you me, you would know.
Regardless, wasn't offended before, and certainly not offended now. I work construction, have my whole adult life, being delicate doesn't do one any favours.
Enjoy your day.

Since you asked the part that stood out was very small

I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment.

Feels a little: ugh sure I guessss I could have explained more, so tedious

Clearly this was a misinterpretation.

Ha! It's a habit I got from my dad. Absolutely a misinterpretation.
