Why do you insist on continually rejecting the input of others when this thread is literally you vs everyone

If you truly didn't care, you wouldn't have reacted to whatever you supposedly don't care about.

If I were to ask you your opinion on a topic you genuinely didn't care about how would you respond

Let's assume we're friends and we're having a conversation.

that is so insanely fucking stupid

if i don't care about someone's DAY, for example
they're telling me all about their day, and i just want them to shut up
so i say "i don't really care, sorry" or whatever

OH, I GUESS I ACTUALLY DO CARE NOW, BECAUSE I RESPONDED
HURRR

I'd tell you I don't have an opinion on whatever you asked me about. If you really want to talk about it, though, I'd sit and listen.

"to be concerned or solicitous; have thought or regard"

You thought about it. It was not a reflex action, the electrical impulses from your optical sensory neurone traveled to your brain, were processed and then you acted accordingly. So by definition, you cared

Arguing about definitions is the worst unproductive nonsense. You are using the term differently than verb is using it. If your entire position hinges on misunderstanding what verb is saying, then that's really your problem and not a problem with the argument.

The difference is, you aren't able to fully block out somebody in real life.

This, however, is a forum. It isn't like real life, where you're forced to react to everything and everyone that addresses you. You have the luxury of ignoring something you don't care about. Reading a post, hitting the reply button, specifically writing that you don't care, and posting it means you saw what they said, had an internal reaction, and responded based on that internal reaction. In other words, you cared about what they wrote.

He used care as a verb, as in to "to be concerned or solicitous; have thought or regard.", not to actually-physically care for someone. As did I, we are both talking about 'care' being used the same way. Not really sure how you can confuse that, we've both been pretty clear

...No. Not at all. I care about the question - why would I have listened to it if I didn't? I just don't have any thoughts or preferences regarding the topic in question.

Apparently not, though, since whatever it was got a reaction. He may not have an opinion on the subject, but he still clearly cares.

I'd say a dictionary definition of a word is as far from being subject to one's discretion or opinion as possible. Quite simply you are spouting bullshit

then you have one fucked up definition of the word "care"

and you're also wrong

i can't place my brain inside of your skull to prove to you that there's nothing in my mind that says "wow, i really care about this person's day, i'm glad he posted this thread, and i'm going to offer some input here"

i can't prove that

all i can do is tell you

if someone else posts "i don't care" in my thread, do you think that i think they care? no, i don't
because i'm not fucking retarded

if someone doesn't post in the thread, that either means two things
1. they read the thread, cared, but didn't want to respond for one reason or another
2. they didn't care about the thread, and also didn't care enough to respond (notice how they're two different things)

so the people who didn't respond are in this grey area
they either care, or don't care

me, personally, i don't even want the possibility of me caring to cross the mind of ANYONE
so i post "i don't care" to let people know that i don't care

because all i care about is letting people know that i don't care about what the OP is talking about

because if i did care, don't you think i would've added something to the discussion?
the fact that i didn't should tell you enough that i didn't care

this is 2+2=4 logic
