Also “car” - can my local mechanic service it and give it a flying certificate? If not, it’s not a car.

More like a barely road-worthy airplane.

“Where are you coming from?”

..suspect smoking pipe…

“Alright then, keep your secrets”

“Amiable” is not “very friendly” - complete nonsense.

Brill. One of us.

A fallacy matters if it’s central to proving the argument, otherwise it probably doesn’t. Eg Bringing up an anecdote, or a subjective experience as a way of illustrating a point could be said to be fallacious, but is not, if the argument is well supported enough that would stand without it.

I just had an argument where I ended my point with the words “this is a pure could have been:” and added a very likely scenario that may well could have come to pass it some events were different. Obviously it was speculation and not central to the previous argument, but in my estimation likely.

Then other person instead of responding to actual points took the last part and accused me of should’a, would’a, could’a.

Dude, yes! But not the point, also I was the one that pointed it out. The type of person that would explain to a comedian their own joke.

More not so fun facts: Israel is also asking, you Europeans did it in the Americas, Australia and Russia, and sit pretty on top of stolen land but now you have yours are playing holier than thou? It’s quite the sinking feeling that we had some moments when we thought we’ll escape our fucked up nature. I hope we can find a way to put the genie back in cause I’m hating this.

Most people here: Yes, I bought an advertiser’s device, hooked up in a million ways to that advertiser’s services, who’s well known for monitoring every aspect of the life of every person they can, but how dare they monitor this part?

“No give, only take“ - stack overflow’s license.

All of it, they’re human estimates.

In this timeline he already killed Trotsky and Che is female (or I can’t tell who the person in the beret is).

My first thought.

I’m not sure it’s a winning argument that’s all.

Most people aren’t political if they don’t have to be, the only time they think of politics when they have to vote or something is taken from them.

To call them the opposite of what you are just because they feel like they are unsure because they haven’t thought about it as a way to shame them into your position is to lose them and play into your opposition’s hands - “these crazy people are calling you Nazis/Communists”.

Two sides can play the centrist card to grab the unsure while driving a different agenda - I don’t see what’s stopping the left.

Eg Most people are not aware of how much damage France is doing in west Africa through proxy colonialism - if you ask them they’ll probably shrug. If you ask them to vote on it they’ll pick someone that seems somewhere in the middle. Are they colonialist oppressors? Seems like a far fetch.

Now try to strong arm them into a position, how do you think it’s going to go?

I’m not trying to cause or win an argument, I’ll stop here.
