You mean this?

Well I’m not wrong in what I said about fallacies, but yeah, sure.

Enjoy your weekend.

I could but I don’t want to

"I totally have a girlfriend. No you wouldn’t know her, she’s Canadian. "

(See this is a strawman, much like the one you used earlier itt.)

Confidently idiotic people irk me.

Me2 man. Perhaps stop being one?

You’re the type who first of all sees these things as competitions, (“take the L, bro”), secondly, you think all you have to do to “win” a debate is to point out a fallacy.

You’re probably in the camp of people who think insults mean ad hominem? :D

You started this thread with a strawman you then claim isn’t a strawman, because of the intent you had while making it+

Oh now I realise what you’re doing. You genuinely think I’m as intellectually lazy and ingenuine as you, so you think I too am trying to bullshit my way through this?

I can refer back to any comment. Like the one which you try to assert that me pointing out your strawman… is a strawman?

Okay then. What’s the weak version of the argument I made to attack, and oh yeah, what argument is it that I’m trying to attack in the first place?

Oh you don’t have one, or have to come up with them, post hoc? It is somewhat amusing.

See, now you’re in “the spiral”. You can’t address the actual thing you said anymore, have expressed that you feel like you’re “wasting time”, but for some reason, you feel like you have to keep replying, despite having to resort to spamming memes.

It’s okay to just leave a thread, you know?

Perhaps if you didn’t treat conversations as competitions, you might actually learn what those fallacies you never read about actually mean.

I was born in the 80’s but never have I ever considered myself an “80’s kid”, because that’s not really a meme, as much as all “only 90’s kids will remember”.

Larp all you want, that won’t make your comment at the top of this thread be any less fallacious.

Me pointing out that it was fallacious, which it is, doesn’t mean I’m engaging in the argument. It just means I’m tired of people like you larping they know philosophy when they can barely be bothered to skim the Wikipedia entries on the subject.

I’m not wasting time. I’m enjoying my time on Lemmy. Aren’t you?

First off, with all this philosophy larping, there’s a thing called “the fallacy fallacy”, which states it’ fallacious to imply someone is wrong simply because their logic was fallacious.

Secondly, me reminding you of how these things work doesn’t mean I’m suddenly “defending a false claim”, especially not with strawmen.

You think if you can justify a strawman, it isn’t one.

That’s not how it works.

I’m gonna refer back to my earlier comment

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

You don’t know what an orca is?

Also known as “killer whale”. (Which is a mistranslation actually, originally name being closer to “whale killer”, as orcas hunt and kill other whales, even adult blue ones.)

I got banned a few years ago for criticising Israel’s genocidal rhetoric.

I assume it was either America where I assume 50 cals are like umbrellas, or s former Soviet country with so and so nuclear security.

Challenge accepted.

I’m thinking if he had like slightly higher ground towards a high so he’s shooting just slightly downhill, and the hill is “too close”, then he might feasibly shoot over it at a house behind it. So for instance the sights are supposed to be adjusted to 200 yards and the hill is somewhere around 100 yards away, then it would be about at the apex of the trajectory of a sight set for 200.

Ugh I don’t remember it properly but when we shot with 7.62’s in the army, iirc, the bullet arc was something like 30cm on a 150 or a 300m shot. I don’t remember which.

Or maybe it was angled such that it was actually ricochets hitting the house or even rock fragments as bullets were obliterating bits of rock.

That would definitely make sense yeah. A loud boom and something hitting your building, you’d think someone is shooting at you sure enough.

And of course, the classic gunfight where nobody hits anything.

This one?

Bother’s me too a bit. Like, you’re not gonna out-react the other guy while dodging his bullet, are you? Then again, killing someone instantly isn’t as easy either, so there’s a bit of time to fire back… but if it’s one of those scenes where they literally have the gun in the other person’s face, like up against their nose almost? Then you could just shoot the other guy without worrying much, I feel.
