Look buddy, if you want to make an argument that my joke I made is a false dilemma… by all means go ahead, the person before you already pushed that point with logic. I disagreed but at least that’s a conversation.
You dropped a Wikipedia link and bounced.
Then you respond just now with answers to my 2 choice questions ENTIRELY WRONG and the sad part is you looked up answers and still got them wrong while missing I specifically picked 2 that I thought were funny. The sky is translucent not blue. Palm trees aren’t trees.
It’s like every step you take is another pit-fall while you argue against my jokes. Get it together dude.
You started all this with a false binary argument. It is a low hand way of forcing your opinion on someone and I linked to Wikipedia because everyone should be able to spot it.
I'm carrying on the conversation because it's hilarious how bad you are at arguing. You try to give examples of binary decisions and end up asking questions that are ambiguous. I'm dying to see what comes next.
I started this conversation with a sarcastic illustrative point to illuminate my view point. I very directly didn’t not ask anyone else to chose ANYTHING.
I said essentially “I see this, I choose that”
Which is my opinions illustrated thru over simplification.
That’s not me forcing anyone into a bottleneck.
A rhetorical question I asked only myself. I guess you could say I’m entertaining a FD myself, maybe. You can’t say I’m throttling your ability to choose things. I didn’t ask you anything, I didn’t present you with any options.
I’m myself am not “dying to see” what comes next. I replied to you because I’m bored and I’m right. That’s all.
It is funny to me you can’t see how clearly wrong you are on things. Do you want a YouTube video explaining the differences between transparent, translucent, and opaque? There are many available. Just let me know.
You gave only 2 options to chose from which falsely represented the situation.
I succinctly pointed this out. You got angry and are now suffering from Logorrhea.
I gave two options to myself then answered. I never asked you anything.
lol I’m not angry at all just bored. Thank you for the complement though. Yes I’m a salesman and a damn good one. I’ve never had someone describe me as Loquacious, but it’s a rarely used word. I knew it though if that was a test.
Anyway you are clearly balls deep in your histrionics… or maybe you just suffer from HPD in general…
Yes. This is exactly what a false binary is. You presented a situation where more than 2 possibilities exist to put forward a false narrative.
You still haven't. I'm implying you have written Diarrhea.
Want to know something funny?
My last reply I wrote to was from an ambulance. I was being rushed to the er because I was dying. See I’ve been so violently sick that I hadn’t been able to keep water down for 3 days. I actively dying.
I got bored in the 20 min ambulance ride to Brownsville so decided to brows Lemmy.
I can show you the doctors paperwork if you want proof but my point is :
No, I have never been angry or mad at you. I’m just having a conversation about something that interests me. That’s litterly all. I don’t think you’re stupid I just disagree with you. You’re free to disagree with me. That’s perfectly fine.
Don’t take it so personally and buy a dictionary lol
Edit: that would also explain many of my mistakes while we talked. I was half delirious it’s impressive I made coherent speech at all! Lol
Our recent conversation aside, I hope you are back on liquids and are now recovering.
I lived.
As for our conversation: believe me I know I’m a sarcastic asshole but I promise I don’t mean anything by it. That’s just how I talk.
I enjoyed our conversation. I prefer to talk to people who don’t agree with me. It opens the mind. I never much liked circle jerks lol.
Seriously that bug I got… a lot of people in the hospital also had. So make sure to keep washing your hands and keep distance from people. You don’t want to catch it bro. It was very painful lol I’ve been bitten by vipers, leg turned black and couldn’t walk… that was less painful than this lol keep safe bro.
If that’s the way you want to see it. Good luck with those many other options that aren’t really there.
I know you believe “no there’s a third option of riding fluffy unicorns into the sunset!”
No there’s isn’t. That has never been option.
As for the word my loquacious I guess I just mixed that while speed reading. I’m not really paying all that much attention to you. I’m not angry just bored.
