You are literarily calling everyone a fascist....

I'd say the opposite seems more true to me. They don't "call everyone a fascist", you just counter every accusation with that line, no matter how true it really is.

Use your words. How is it "wrong"?

judge you for who you talk with, instead of for what you say.

So if someone had a happy conversation with a Nazi about the "degeneracy of the West" and "Judeo-bolshevism", you wouldn't judge them?

If you sit with someone, and they say "death to all Jews", and you DON'T immediately argue or leave - you are accepting their beliefs as valid.

It's already been answered, you just dismissed it because it didn't fit your narrative

Which only adds to their point, actually. You literally just proved that their lack of representation did not mean they didn't exist - there were other reasons.

The rules are there so people don't wander into a science community and proselytise their religion, harassing the people with comments that God created the universe and dinosaurs are false. Not so someone doesn't post in shower thoughts with a thought that very likely actually did occur while showering.

Are you trolling??

The metaphor is not about how to ride horses or donkeys.

Dude no one's arguing about your life experience, it's just irrelevant. The carrot and stick metaphor isn't even about donkeys or horses.

Sorry, I got the title slightly wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_in_My_19th_Life

By that logic you could argue that no one should be able to get compensated for their skills in an open marketplace.

That doesn't seem to track, to me. Maybe it would be better if the huge amounts of money generated by films were shared more equitably among the cast and crew?

The actors and athletes get paid a lot because someone is willing to pay that money, and they are willing because only a miniscule part of humankind has exceptional skills/talent. Most people are average in every way.

This assumes that these people are indeed genuinely exceptional, in some sort of superhuman way. Do you think the selection process for actors and athletes is both extensive and foolproof enough that you can guarantee that all and only the best and most talented people in the world get recognition? I know for sure that, for example, there are plenty of amazing musicians out there that haven't even crossed the radar of any music agencies. Surely the same is true of actors and athletes. No, the majority of actors working today are the result of nepotism and a narrow focus on what counts as talent - are the camera workers not talented? The people making the sets? The costume designers? Etc etc.

The K-Drama "See You In My Next 19th^*Life" explicitly is about this, actually

"All that bullshit" was the product of a few moments' thought. You're the one dragging this out and making a big deal out of nothing. I just corrected your assumption. There's no reason for us to even still be talking other than you being unable to admit your mistake.

Low stakes situations exist, dude. That is the weirdest pedantry I've ever seen, and doesn't even follow.

Anyway, I won't buy that deflection. You know that I'm saying you don't understand what's happening in the conversation. You just can't rationally respond to it, so you try instead to distract me.

Like you said, it's not that serious... so why dodge?

No dude you're just kinda being a dick and not really understanding the situation

Thanks!

I wish this weren't so true 😭

Why is it always the trash that gets preserved??

And you're expecting them to lay out their entire plan when clearly all they wanted to do here was just express how they feel?

7th implied fact: the baby's religion somehow plays a role in your deciding whether or not to hit it with a bat.
