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.
Instead of inktober, I'm doing feltober with my obscene stockpile of wool. Here are five pieces in five days.
Everything is wet-felted and made on a whim without much planning. I make forms from old reusable grocery bags, use balloons or bottles to hold their form while they dry, and create the voids between layers with coins, wood scraps, trash and marbles. I use felting needles and an electric pube trimmer to clean them up.
I make these when I'm bored, watching shows. Basic wet felted wool over a circle form (a piece of plastic trash I cut into a circle) with layers either cut in or felted textures using beads, other plastic trash, and whatever I have around.

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.
