Wait. Do you mean to suggest those aren’t trained lions?! I can not, will not believe it!

The straw man is where you made up several points that I apparently support, which I never said or even suggested I support. It’s textbook straw man.

That sure is a nice straw man you built there. Real nice indeed.

“I didn’t get any assistance, so people in a country I don’t live in shouldn’t either! I’d rather no one get assistance than potentially provide assistance to some people I don’t think deserve it.”

followed by

“Student debt is awful and should be illegal but, while it was legal you agreed to it, so 🤷🏽‍♂️ unless only the rich pay it off.”

The first has big “drug testing for government benefits” energy. Are you sure you’re not from Florida? This has DeSantos smell all over it.

You’re not really this stupid, right? This has to be satirical.

If you’re anywhere north of 10 years old, you still have a lot of growing up to do. Thanks for showing me exactly what kind of person you are and I hope you have a day that is just as wonderful as you are.

Hold on here. Was it that you knew it wouldn’t translate well in text or was it that we’d need to use our brains but didn’t? Because you seem to change your story so that you can blame everyone else for misunderstanding because you were vague.

It’s funny you call us Redditors: I’m engaging with you (and increasingly regretting it) instead of just downvoting and moving on, while you’re blaming others instead of owning up to your actions. Which exactly is classic Reddit behavior?

You made a comment you knew wouldn’t translate well to text and didn’t try to make sure others would understand your intent. Someone took it seriously, so your response is “knew someone would get all hurt by it though” instead of owning up to it.

I have this wild suggestion for it. Don’t write ambiguous messages. If you do and it confuses or offends someone, explain or apologize instead of being a wanker and pretending the other people are the problem. You’re the problem here, mate.

I’m 99% certain you’re from the United States if you think MSNBC is anything beyond center to center left.

Nice collection of straw men you made there. Real nice.

Fucking block me already, you’re already intolerable.

Oh shit, I’m so sorry! I misread your comment.

Please do, it’ll be no great loss for me. You responded with the wrong alt, though. Please be sure to block me on ALL of your alts.

Your response thread so far is

1. “Nuh uh, you’re wrong!”
2. “Your reading comprehension sucks!”
3. Reiterating your previous response as you apparently can’t address my follow-up

I was wrong previously: the only thing funnier than being lectured on reading comprehension by someone with poor reading comprehension is being corrected by someone who is adamant you’re wrong but can’t actually tell you why. Yet I’m the idiot here. 🙄

Edit: I’m done responding to you as this is a colossal waste of my time and may be actively making me stupider, so feel free to have the last word.

All that time and the best response you had is “nuh uh!”. When I counter an argument and the response is pure cope, like you here, it’s a pretty clear admission that you actually can’t respond.

When someone correctly says in the context of UK English “the yanks call (UK English A) (US English B)!” and they respond “no, we call (US English B) (US English B)” and proceeds to provide a US centric lecture of nomenclature, they tend to be contradicting them. On their own geographically correct usage of the word.

Corollary example also appropriate for the US. MtF person recently transitions and word is spreading.

Person 1: They even call Roy Martha.
Person 2: No, I call Roy Roy.

The only thing better than getting lectured on reading comprehension is being lectured by someone who didn’t comprehend the reading.

The literal first comment in the thread mentions a confusion of the non-American vs American “world” in reference to naming.

The next highlights a difference in US English versus English elsewhere.

I’d long to hear how the context is solely US English.
