If I may humbly propose a new term -- "Miéville Syndrome," which refers to the phenomenon where an internet commenter posts some variation of "Nobody says 'X'," right alongside one or more commenters explicitly saying, "X."
@ContrarianSaver@CartoonsHateHer B.S. about "ALWAYS tell." I commented to my wife once that the only reason any of my friends would even presume she and I had sex was that we have children who look like me.
@BrainDedSmrtAss@Neoncookies111 The development of Narcan and similar drugs *is* seriously challenging my pro-drug legalization stance because I had for many years thought overdoses made addiction largely self-regulating.
@eyesofastorm@jbarro Oh, there's something kind of stupid there, profoundly retarded even, but it's people like you thinking companies are shipping beef internationally for funsies rather than having determined it's profitable to do so.
I don't mean "metaphorically Nazis", or "might as well be Nazis", or "I'm just looking for some bad group of people to associate leftists with".

Note to self: Next time I visit the UK, see if I can find a store that will sell you under-the-counter Indian soft drinks instead of the swill the UK coerces companies into selling.
A can of Fanta sold in London has 63 calories. Buy the same brand in India, and it contains three times as much sugar. It also includes artificial dye, whose presence in food products in Europe requires a prominent health warning.
In India, the colorant’s presence is noted merely in small print on the back of the can. That suits some of the world’s biggest companies, which have long resisted Indian efforts to mandate nutritional warnings on the front of packaged products https://t.co/skAERVVhl9
@gemsofbabus_ So what you're saying is that Indian Fanta actually tastes good, unlike the chemical slop the UK government coerces soft drink makers into selling?
