I’m curious enough to continue the conversation, if only because talking about definitions is interesting. So I’m not being confrontational, I actually want to have a discussion.

You say that all soaps are antibacterial because the result in the end is that no bacteria remains on the hands. I see what you’re saying there. But anti-bacterial soap kills the bacteria, including the remaining ones that couldn’t be removed.

That’s like saying that removing a group of humans based on ethnicity from a region, without killing them, amounts to genocide. Would you say that’s genocide too?* (And I know the comparison is extreme.)

*I think I read somewhere that forcibly removing people from a region amounts to genocide, though. But you know what I mean…

I hope you were being sarcastic…

I mean. 95% of people uses, likes and tolerates shit I don’t tolerate. I don’t use said shit. My life has been shockingly fine that way.

A site that does this is a site I’ll never visit.

if someone is too stupid to figure out how to vote they probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

Not what you said at the beginning, but if we take this new one, let’s just say that it’s a false equivalency and call it a day.

You’re no better than the disconnected billionaires and politicians.

Says a group of people don’t deserve to vote.

Claims he wants people to vote.

Your logic is even weirder.

Oh okay.

Your opinion is very weird, friend.

when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.

They weren’t what?

Oh.

I guess both actions have ups and downs.

To me, calling it Twitter reminds me of the shitty shit Twitter has ever been. I never liked the thing. I vividly remember when BBC started quoting random tweets - it made me a little sick. Then all news outlets followed suit.

And if Elon hates it that people call it Twitter, then even better!

I’m not talking about elections.

Alternative pronunciation: Shittier.

But that’s what Elon wants, and fuck that guy.

Twitter or Xitter for me. Maaaaybe X (formerly known as Twitter), but never X alone.

Especially because it’s a fucking confusing name in a tech space. I swear I thought the headline referred to X Window at first.

This is why the right makes fun of the left.

Though I just hope you were joking.

The dudes commenting are idiots. They’re saying “can you believe it? Everyone walks past him, and they don’t see him! I would have not believed it if I didn’t see it. It’s so weird!”

That is, to them (the commentators), it’s not that the people don’t suspect of the “homeless dude lying down.” To them, nobody is actually able to see that there is a human being lying there, as if he was invisible.

What’s so horrifying about the fairness doctrine, according to them?

And second?

But seriously: in a way, you’re right. New games don’t appeal to me. The kind of “child wonder” I get nowadays is by playing games that are similar to the ones I used to play when younger. Fantasy consoles have pretty much an endless supply of these games, and I enjoy discovering new, interesting ones. No spending, no gigabytes of data.

As soon as consoles required to be “always online,” I was out.

works out pretty well*

Why is it tone-deaf?

(Genuine question.)
