@AviBittMD@sguyenet What is the right kind of vegan diet or method for finding one that works for a given individual? What books should people read? How should they troubleshoot it?
none of these people are going to go to jail for their assorted violent crimes against strangers that were captured on camera and broadcast and the open impunity is the entire point of course
the lesson is they control the streets and in fact they do
welcome to hell
I’ll keep helping, homie. You want others to share your POV, right?
Consider @blurrgh’s statement through corrigibility—encouraging change.
Using language implying fixed states, like unchangeable traits, subtly shifts reasoning to treat them as permanent, even if unintended. It frames opponents’ positions as static and risks alienating them.
Describing beliefs or actions as corrigible—temporary or changeable—leaves room for growth and keeps your speech accurate.
See the value in this? If you want to avoid lockdowns in the future, this is a good way to get more people on your side.
You never paid attention in school. Google e-prime, or ChatGPT or whatever they’ll tell you the same thing.
“Pro-lockdown advocates” suggests a fixed identity, “people who advocated for lockdowns” describes specific actions, aligning with E-Prime’s focus on behavior over labels.
I’d be winning to bet this would be obvious to you in any other context, but you come in to a comedians replies—someone who makes a living off of linguistic precision and expect people to go easy on you for being sloppy.
@RunAwayFromBaby @dickmcbonerdong@blurrrgh@ComicDaveSmith lol now you’ve swapped “pro-lockdown advocates” for “people who advocated for lockdowns.”
Care to backpedal any more?
This is persuasive redefinition or hyperbole.
So like anyone who worked from home is a pro-lockdown advocate?
This is why this is sloppy thinking. You’re talking about a scenario where the information people had changed over time, and the information about effectiveness of interventions was debated and discussed and change overtime. But what you’re saying is that anyone who wasn’t categorically against any intervention since 2019 was trading freedom for safety?
Based.
@RunAwayFromBaby @dickmcbonerdong@blurrrgh@noam_dworman@ComicDaveSmith what point? People who were pro-Japanese internment camps were real and bad.
People who are/were pro-lockdown advocates only exist in your head canon.
Where is the analogy?
