The bunch of sheletered idiot worry about their little games

This you?

It takes huge balls to go around calling people stupid only to miss the entire point yourself. Terrible troll, honestly.

Your reply doesn't really follow the conversation. This is tangential to the main thread. We're talking about how we present and defend information as a meta commentary on these threads, and not how the egging on of an invasion of a totalitarian country upsets some folks.

Also, did you just make an account to participate in this thread? Your account is brand spankin'.

"I should be able to say whatever I want about this country, true or not, and if people push back, they're accidentally licking boots"

Who is saying that?? 😅 If you in the process of clarifying something start overreaching in the wrong direction, you're giving them leeway they don't deserve. It's simple, dude. I've seen it happen with people denying and downplaying horrible shit. Just like you want people to not overstate their actions, I don't want people understating them either as I've seen some people do, on purpose (or not), or as I put it, "accidentally [... unless?]" That's the tongue-in-cheek part because, precisely, how do you accidentally do it? There might be intent behind it, we don't know. We are in the middle of an information trying to push people a certain way and these corners of the internet are quite happy with playing for Russia & friends.

That's the whole reason I'm telling you that I agree with you and that we're fucking splitting hairs by coming at it from opposite sides.

Loved the absurd tangent though, but I guess we need laser focus and surgical precision when it's my turn to answer, huh.

As it comes up? Idk. What, am I supposed to give a monolithic answer now for speaking broadly? I've had .ml accounts actively deny the severity of historical events in their efforts to whitewash history. "Oh, it wasn't that bad." Oh, really? Sounds a bit sus.

This is not a gotcha just because you're listening to the other fool.

I'm sorry, but Objection has taken the wrong idea and run with it. If you think they're making a great point, I'd suggest you reread with what I've said in mind. I do own that I'm a little hasty to judge .ml accounts from experience, but that's about it. The rest is Objection assuming things with extra dressing to frame the conversation.

Tbh, I don't even know what the fuck they're arguing about now, and I can't be bothered. Seriously, go take a look a that word salad and the embedded quiz of them just being an extra little argumentative gremlin.

What the fuck are you on about, Jessie?

The “trap” of correctly refuting misinformation? How generous of you!

Listen, if you're going to be this disrespectfully disingenuous, I'd rather you stop right now because you're already getting into the realm of obnoxious and condescending.

And in this case, you replied to someone with .ml saying “why do .ml’s…” and “y’all…” You were clearly including them

I think I very much addressed that in two different points to be rehashing this.

Because of… the truth? Does being a “known violator of human rights” make it ok for people to spread lies?

You're saying the same thing I've expressed but from a different angle. We're almost down to splitting hairs, except that you're taking my words to an extreme. Did I or did I not add the tongue-in-cheek qualifier "accidentally" to licking boots to signify the benefit of the doubt of the people falling into this trap?

If North Korea is my “enemy,” it’s certainly a very small and distant one that’s not really worth messing with.

Not so distant if we're going to be fighting a proxy war against them. If you think they're a remote country not participating in world affairs, then I've got recent news for you.

I think you're connecting two things in my mind that were completely separate, and are using that as a springboard to jump to conclusions about my supposed standards based on one flawed premise, then about me uncritically accepting things, and also that I'm explicitly against US enemies. Brother, I'm not even American. Can I not talk about a pitfall that I often see with people defending NK, as an "inb4" if you will? Because I hope you reread the sentence that way.

If anything, my only direct comment about the person I'm replying to was the first question: Why so eager to jump in like that about a known violator of human rights that has voiced unconditional support for Russia, a country actively picking a fight with the entire West side of the world? A tyrannic, totalitarian regime is everybody's enemy as far as I'm concerned.

But sure, maybe I'm reading the other person wrong too, and I'm unnecessarily assigning blame because of my previous experience with this exact same topic with other .ml accounts behaving that way and swarming the person commenting.

I fully support the idea that we have a problem with bias in the news and people profiting from scandals, and we also don't need to downplay what the government does. We can push back against misinformation without accidentally bootlicking.

You joke, but the James Webb DLC is tripping everyone up.

Why do .ml's get so triggered with this topic? And y'all invariably paint NK as these absolute saints when we know what totalitarian regimes do and have done throughout the ages.

Big pharma conspiracy theory

I always feel the need to specify having studied pharmacy: it's the business side with the MBAs who try to do that shit. The science side is like "oh neat," and these assholes are like "make it make money!"

Yeah, I was going to say, we get more localized names here in the non-USA. If it's USian, it's usually called Dove, Cheetos, etc., not "Cajun Jim’s Cornballs". That honestly doesn't sound like it'd sell at all for local tastes based on the name alone.

See, I'm not crazy! I've thought this too. Like, ok, sure, I'm not going to get an STD if my dick touches the seat because those are some very specific pathogens, but we know there are others well-equipped to survive. Relatedly, I've also gotten more acne than usual after I visit a sauna and rest my back against the wall. That shit is dirty, and I'm almost sure it makes me break out.

Eipstein didn't kill himself.

I mean, the stakes seem pretty low right now.

I'll let you know if we ever grow a whimsical thirst to invade the future third world. 😉

Por qué no los dos?

Why didn't the stegosaurus fire when it feared for its life??

Oh, finally? It only took them a hundred years.

Probably volcanic ash lungs from all the volcanoes in the world erupting all at once due to climate change.
