I'm impressed at how much time you spend on lemmy, and how little you spend actually reading any of the articles you get outraged over.

There is absolutely zero in this article about RTO. It's all about not working in your bed as that can develop poor sleep habits. It's all about acting in a way so you get good sleep. Why anyone would get outraged over this or turn this into part of some grand conspiracy between the media and big business to get people back into the office is beyond me.

Clearly this is what the submitter is attempting to imply. Don't be so easily played.

Cool. I didn't want to read a page full of spammy bullshit, as OP suggested. Sorry that wasn't okay with you.

You are too easily played. Think for yourself, instead of letting some lemmy poster manipulate you so easily into being outraged with blatantly misrepresentative titles to articles. If you don't want to read "spammy bullshit" then just don't read it, but then I suggest you also don't get outraged over it because the OP is telling you to be outraged. It doesn't matter if I'm okay with this, you shouldn't be.

What makes you think I was outraged?

What this comes down to is that got played by the OP. It's more important that you take away from this is that you should think for yourself, rather than try to nit-pick over whether you were actually outraged.

I am sure you have never been tricked in your life, but just because I do get tricked on occasion does not mean I am unable to think for myself. It means I'm not perfect and I'm not smart, two things I have never claimed or pretended to be. And if you think being imperfect and not smart means you are unable to think for yourself, you must not think very highly of your species' ability to do so. Based on random internet encounters too.

Anyway, it was an unwarranted insult. I get that you're better than me, you've made that clear, I won't argue with you. Can we move on?

I am sure you have never been tricked in your life

No, I absolutely have. I've even been tricked by misleading headlines of articles. What I took away from this, after it happened, was that I should RTFA before responding. Still, sometimes, I don't, but usually those responses will just be jokes.

on occasion does not mean I am unable to think for myself.

I hate to break it to you, but I spend too much time on lemmy too, and I see your posts all the time. Quite regularly your comments are in response to some false assumption about the article, that clearly came from the headline. It seems to happen far more than "on occasion." Slow down. You don't need to come to an opinion in a flash. Hell, you don't even need to come to an opinion about it at all. If you don't want to take the time to read the article, then that should also indicate to you that you shouldn't rush to an opinion and then take the time to comment on that opinion.

I read the article quite often, but not when I'm warned about the website beforehand being full of spammy crap. I assume if I go through your post history, I will never find any occasions where you jumped to any conclusions, right?

And yes, I get that you want to keep pointing out I post a lot. I'm tired of explaining why. Let's just say it involves my health.

lol. I literally just explicitly told you I have.

Stop being so offended. You don't need to defend yourself, just grow. Take this as a learning opportunity, rather a reason to circle the wagons. I don't point out how much you post as an insult (as I'm here a lot myself) but only because I see this happening plenty.

Why shouldn't I be offended by someone who suggests I can't think for myself? That sure sounds like an insult to me.

I never said you can't, I said you should do it.

But I get it, this is your little bone now that you are going to latch onto instead of using this as a growing experience. So I'm done.

I'm sure we'll butt heads again soon. Until then.

Me:

someone who suggests I can’t think for myself?

You:

I never said you can’t, I said you should do it.

And you accuse me of not reading.
