Maybe referring to someone that way isn't as extremely rude for you as it is for me. I still don't like it.

What's so rude about saying my dude?

This is really off-topic, but I hope Stirk won't mind if I answer you. At least from my background, calling someone "my dude" like that is something you'd only do if you want to be highly insulting in a sort of dismissively arrogant way. It's presumptuously familiar, it's... something a frat bro would say to somebody he's trying to flex on, basically. (Variations like "my man", "my guy" also exist and are the same thing.) It's not something you would ever call somebody unless you are trying to be nasty and want everyone to know it. So, I assumed it was meant that way. I admit I may have been wrong. If so, I have to recommend not using it without knowing your audience first.

I’d recommend not being overly sensitive to something people will call literally everyone all the time, especially if there’s no way for said people to know your particular triggers or whatever then, because if you knew me you’d know I call everyone my dude.

Let’s not ban words that aren’t actually offensive please.

+1, let's not waste his battery over an argument over the phrase "my dude".

According to the National Geographic Society
“ To become magnetized, another strongly magnetic substance must enter the magnetic field of an existing magnet. ... When you rub a piece of iron along a magnet, the north-seeking poles of the atoms in the iron line up in the same direction. The force generated by the aligned atoms creates a magnetic field.”

We’ll need to find magnetic materials and magnets. I’ll do research soon about that

I'm not upset. I'm just telling you that I am not your dude.

That's already being worked on.

It's okay, we're all unique and beautiful snowflakes, right?

No, you are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else.

The problem with snowflakes is that they melt.

On a side not, I think we should tell Stirk to eat any yellow snow he come along.  I hear it tastes delicious.

Go back to /d/ if you think whatever waste was ejected through urination tastes delicious. We shouldn't try to kill Stirk.

I don’t actually think it tastes delicious and doubt it’ll kill him (especially as I would expect him to have either already heard about “yellow snow” and not eat it in the first place, or spit it out when he tastes it if he hasn’t).  I was trying to make a joke, but it unfortunately appears that there are people in this thread who can’t seem to take a joke.

In any case I think you should chill out, and I intend to not post anything more in this thread until things have calmed down.  I’m afraid this thread is devolving into a flame war…  :(

I'm... pretty sure nobody is taking anything that seriously. There's nothing wrong with a little unnecessary negativity. It's healthy, part of a complete breakfast, and probably puts hair on your chest.
