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.
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.
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.
That is a good point. I can see how somone wouldn't want to support the instance with views they don't like.... However.
Dogfooding ones own software is an important part of the development process. So it makes sense they would use it for that.
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.
Ok. I understand a little better now. You may have skimmed what I wrote quickly, and made a bunch of assumptions and guesses about what I meant.
“Don’t set my bones, Dr. Steve donated to X” ... claimed in a life threatening situation
I'm an Xray tech, not a doctor.
Never mentioned setting bones just taking xray images.
I also didn't mention or imply any life threatening situations. That's purely your imagination.
The roofers don’t matter in the OP’s decision regarding donations to the tankie.
My roofer example didn't mention tankies at all.
I implied I would pay the roofer (singular) even though they were a (t)Rump supporter, and I don't support their politics.
You said you wouldn’t engage positively with someone you disagree with like the OP
Never said anything of the sort. That's your imagination again.
I'm sorry I genuinely don't understand.
First you tear down my bad analogies. Ignores the point, but fine.
Then you go and make the same, or similar point I was making? I'm not sure. And think by some twist of logic maybe, think I wouldn't engage positively with someone I have disagreements with?
I read your comment three times and I still don't understand what you're trying to get across.
Using free software isn't piracy to begin with. This post is actually in the wrong community.

It's often a sound strategy.
Quit while you're behind, and refocus onto something you can do profitably. "Stop throwing good money after bad", and all that.
The title makes it sound like it's all people.
A better one might be "ChatGPT is failing to help people in crises, and many are dying"
