So was I, I have two teenage neices and I teach art classes on the side. This is absolutely how some 18 year olds act. Turns out teenagers are people with different experiences and personalities.

Have you never met an 18 year old?

They’re physickers not languagers.

Let’s do that. The annex thing.

Did you not type it out? Could have sworn I copy/pasted it directly from the contextual post.

However, sarcasm is when you mean the opposite or at least not exactly what you’re saying. In this case you’d be misquoting at best, mocking at worst, except! You then attacked the misrepresentation, and at that point made it a strawman argument.

Another fun fact, walking back a previous statement by claiming sarcasm or joking can be considered a form of backpedaling.

At this point you may want to get a thesaurus, yourself.

Oh? Did you not know how to use that one either?

Cherry picking only applies if I’m presenting a select portion of data to support my argument/narrative. In this case I’m not arguing for or against anything, so no, that isn’t an example of cherry picking.

I’m just sharing knowledge in the hope of lifting the people around me.

If you’re using logical fallacies intentionally or ironically as some kind of performance piece, by all means continue.

Hi.

I don’t like using logical fallacies in arguments because I’m a strong believer in rhetoric and conversation. But I’m so fed up with the over-use of “strawman” lately so I’m hopping in to point out that :

“waaaa everything I don’t like is bigotry”

Is, in fact, a strawman argument. Since I’ve noticed other places in these comments where you use the term incorrectly. In this case you’ve exaggerated and stripped away any nuance in order to argue against the point you fabricated instead of the point that was made.

And:

“Until that gets through your thick thick skull”

Is an ad hominem attack because you’re attempting to discredit their argument based on a quality unrelated to the point being made, in this case the thickness of their skull.

He looks smug as hell.

I mean, they are real. Just soft and fuzzy. Thank you! I was inspired by tryptophobia.

Thanks! That’s exactly what I was going for.

One of the most beautifully written novels I’ve ever read.

What, lol.

My post was about how I’m not attracted to it.

You might want to stop conducting gender studies at bars.

Please, show me your psych degree from the university of 4Chan.

Thank you.

Mostly decorative. I have a series of pouches on my walls for desk items and sometimes put LEDs in them for soft lighting, but the majority of what I make is for fun— Aside from the three hundred cat toys hiding under every piece of furniture.

I know and understand where it comes from, but I don’t want to deal with it in a partner.

The chainsaw thing was absolutely because I’m a chick and representative of his overall attitude toward me that evening. Asking if I’d used a chainsaw would have been appropriate, or a quick rundown on starting/stopping would have been fine.

Basically, I ask myself if he would have said the same thing in the same way to a man. I’ve worked on enough jobsites to know that no, that doesn’t happen.

I was like this when I started dating. Popular media and family impacted how I viewed love and relationships, so accustomed to living with controlling narcissists I didn’t understand what healthy affection looked like.

My first relationships were nightmares with similar people who reinforced those ideas. If I was approached by someone with a healthy, balanced mindset, I wouldn’t know what to do with them.

Which is not to provide a solution, but rather some insight. In a sense it’s a good thing you recognize a toxic situation before it begins, in another sense it can be lonely and frustrating, and I can commiserate from the other side

This is beautifully shaded and full of emotion. The overall design is fantastic, really captivating.

Creative, fun and encouraging. Emotionally mature, respectful, and commited to ongoing self improvement. Everything else is peripheral, but bonus points for writers and artists who are into pc gaming and technology.

My biggest issue has been men socialized with some kind of bias against women, who don’t examine their need to protect and try to make decisions for me. I’m pansexual but lean toward people with dicks.

I learned how to use power tools when I was seven, I’m mechanically inclined, and built my own PC at eighteen. There are an unfortunate number of men who will start a conversation with me from a place of condescension. The last date I went on, he showed me his chainsaw, I asked to try it out and what he said started with “Okay, well it can be a little scary at first because it’s loud…” Another guy told me I was cracking eggs wrong when I made breakfast. I used to be a head chef.

Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.
