There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

  • Trump touts Canada-U.S. ‘merger’ in White House meeting, says Carney will ‘be very happy’ after meeting

  • Did you not type it out? Could have sworn I copy/pasted it directly from the contextual post.

    However, sarcasm is when you mean the opposite or at least not exactly what you're saying. In this case you'd be misquoting at best, mocking at worst, except! You then attacked the misrepresentation, and at that point made it a strawman argument.

    Another fun fact, walking back a previous statement by claiming sarcasm or joking can be considered a form of backpedaling.

    At this point you may want to get a thesaurus, yourself.

  • Banned for asking for equality in treatment

    Jump

  • Oh? Did you not know how to use that one either?

    Cherry picking only applies if I'm presenting a select portion of data to support my argument/narrative. In this case I'm not arguing for or against anything, so no, that isn't an example of cherry picking.

  • I'm just sharing knowledge in the hope of lifting the people around me.

    If you're using logical fallacies intentionally or ironically as some kind of performance piece, by all means continue.

  • Banned for asking for equality in treatment

  • Hi.

    I don't like using logical fallacies in arguments because I'm a strong believer in rhetoric and conversation. But I'm so fed up with the over-use of "strawman" lately so I'm hopping in to point out that :

    “waaaa everything I don’t like is bigotry”

    Is, in fact, a strawman argument. Since I've noticed other places in these comments where you use the term incorrectly. In this case you've exaggerated and stripped away any nuance in order to argue against the point you fabricated instead of the point that was made.

    And:

    "Until that gets through your thick thick skull"

    Is an ad hominem attack because you're attempting to discredit their argument based on a quality unrelated to the point being made, in this case the thickness of their skull.

    My post was about how I'm not attracted to it.

  • I know and understand where it comes from, but I don't want to deal with it in a partner.

    The chainsaw thing was absolutely because I'm a chick and representative of his overall attitude toward me that evening. Asking if I'd used a chainsaw would have been appropriate, or a quick rundown on starting/stopping would have been fine.

    Basically, I ask myself if he would have said the same thing in the same way to a man. I've worked on enough jobsites to know that no, that doesn't happen.

    Jump

  • I was like this when I started dating. Popular media and family impacted how I viewed love and relationships, so accustomed to living with controlling narcissists I didn't understand what healthy affection looked like.

    My first relationships were nightmares with similar people who reinforced those ideas. If I was approached by someone with a healthy, balanced mindset, I wouldn't know what to do with them.

    Which is not to provide a solution, but rather some insight. In a sense it's a good thing you recognize a toxic situation before it begins, in another sense it can be lonely and frustrating, and I can commiserate from the other side

  • Creative, fun and encouraging. Emotionally mature, respectful, and commited to ongoing self improvement. Everything else is peripheral, but bonus points for writers and artists who are into pc gaming and technology.

    My biggest issue has been men socialized with some kind of bias against women, who don't examine their need to protect and try to make decisions for me. I'm pansexual but lean toward people with dicks.

    I learned how to use power tools when I was seven, I'm mechanically inclined, and built my own PC at eighteen. There are an unfortunate number of men who will start a conversation with me from a place of condescension. The last date I went on, he showed me his chainsaw, I asked to try it out and what he said started with "Okay, well it can be a little scary at first because it's loud..." Another guy told me I was cracking eggs wrong when I made breakfast. I used to be a head chef.

  • Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.

  • Journalist hospitalized after attempting to photograph ICE agents in public elevator

    Jump

  • I lose my mind over this, too.

    ICE Agents Attack Journalists, is accurate

    Confrontation with ICE Agents Ends with One Journalist in Hospital, is still accurate.

    This title makes it sound like the journalist tripped and fell on their way to bother some ICE agents.

  • If you see this comment, it could be interesting to get an idea of how many people:

    a) Thought OP posted this in like a "Look at how dumb this is" way, or,

    b) Thought OP agreed with the idea presented in the image.

    I think this might have to do with communication climates (I am so far from an expert in anything) and how a climate of disagreement with peers and prevalent media can affect how a message is received. In other words, if surrounded by stupid people with stupid ideas it's easy to assume the next stupid idea has come from a stupid person.

    Some culture-bound syndromes appear with similar features in several cultures, but with locally specific traits, such as penis panics.

  • This is some rambling nonsense alright. Also, this is a line in there:

    But I doubt Besson really loved her. They don't even have a child. He probably thought she was just hot.

  • Sir, this is a comic about nazi propaganda.

    An interesting thing the nazis did was portray jews, blacks, disabled, etc. as irredeemable criminals in order to justify extra-judicial punishment.
