I didn't skim. You only wrote 3 lines...

At this point you're just trying to argue semantics like that will somehow make your non-points logically coherent. As for that last thing you wrote that you said you didn't write, its verbatim from your later comment. so yeah you did say that. Literally just had to scroll up to find it, man. That wasn't hard.

Either way, doesn't matter. You're just backpedaling at this point trying to say you either didn't say something or argue that I'm wrong because your analogies don't make sense (like I'm responsible for your bad writing). I've given you terms to research, I hope you do better when you try to start arguments online in the future because you did a terrible job tonight. Later.

You see how I didn't even address your point, and instead brought up a different and only tangentially related argument? Makes me seem like a dick doesn't it.

That part?
That's sarcasm. See how I called myself a dick for doing that?

It was only 4 lines. And yet you misread, misunderstood, or just plain missed, multiple things on each and every one of them.
Maybe that's my fault for writing poorly. But since you didn't even count them all, I'm doubtful its all my fault.

  1. Would I not pay my roofer if they were a Rump supporter?
  2. They did a good job on my roof. What do their political opinions matter?
  3. If I was XRaying your broken arm, would you refuse, because I support a tankie for writing apolitical software I like to use?

1... 2... 3... See, in Lemmy the comments are attached under the post. That's how you know what a person is responding to.

Excellent work!
Line is however subjective. On my device that's actually 5 lines, because 2 of them wrap. And you didn't count the blank line between your lines 2 and 3. That would make 4 if you had.

But that's just coincidence and post hock nitpicking. Really I assumed you were referring to both of my primary comments together, since you also referenced the second. And calling the short paragraphs lines. Count them that way, there were also 4.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember me saying you're arguing semantics? You are now trying to argue that you wrote 4 lines not 3 because of a blank line...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Try nothing. I actually did it! 👨‍🎓

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That is correct. You argued that a blank line counts as part of your original argument... I am playing chess with a pigeon it seems.

“Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it won.”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You fell in the the Tankie argument trap where nothing they say makes any sense yet they still think youre the idiot. You also sometimes feel like an idiot trying to deconstruct the incoherent trans theyre saying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We never argued tankie anything.
From Modikins first response it was all pedantic drivel. Nothing of substance. They started by attacking my bad analogies, without actually reading them. I just played the game they started, and took it to its logical conclusion.

You truly don't know how to read do you. You should go take night classes. Learning to read is very important.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

You thought this was chess?
With your first reply you played a game of pointless pedantic posturing in the pursuit of pretend points. I just had fun playing along during moments of down time between patients.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, it wasn't chess. It was me spanking you logically, pigeon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretending to out position, a pigeon playing at being a person, may be a preposterously puerile peacock, like I've never perceived.

You got your cheeks clapped in an argument and now you're trying to downplay it. 👏 👏 👏

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hell my checks clap whenever I walk, that's got nothing to do with this.
