No. It’s fine. Go start a fight with an internet stranger over fanmade flash games.

No, just the hook. Nothing to philosophise over here.
I don’t know why anyone would bait on Lemmy. There’s not really an incentive to do so.
When it comes to getting the attention of others, there's always an incentive.
You would never know I'm baiting you. I'm a master baiter.
I've found myself scrolling through stories or reels or whatever a particular platform calls it and coming across something even slightly polarizing and heading right for the comments looking for opinions I find stupid or incorrect and then-
realizing I'm falling for the algorithm, deleting my half written comment and moving on.
I've been having a hard time not engaging with my coworkers on meaningless debates. Recently I've been trying to take a deep breath and focus on something else.
What is, for the purposes of answering this question, bait? Is bait any piece of media that begs a response? Can bait be sincere? Is bait exclusively negative or are negativity and positivity even relevant to the determination of what is or isn’t bait? Amongst the enumerable questions one can ask, which ones provide the quickest route to elucidation? I’d guess 4 and 701.
Nah it's just a hook, go for it champ
Personally, I'm just saying, I think that every student in a school should have a gun to protect themselves from other students with guns
That is the perfect argument to counter good guys have guns etc
Grades should be based on a battle royale format.
Children should be given guns and sent individually in the same forest on a moonless night. Let them figure out for themselves which course of action maximizes the likelihood of a good outcome and minimizes that of a bad one for them when they hear another kid between hiding, calling out and shooting.
guns are too soft. they need automatic assault rifles.
Gun is gun, everybody gets to choose their own flavor (although those who choose small guns will be bullied by those with larger guns, thats just the natural order)
"It's not the size, it's how you use it" only works if you're not facing an RPG.
Maybe we could do like a take-a-gun/leave-a-gun kinda thing at the front door to schools to help those who can’t afford one. After the metal detectors of course.
