  • I understand the concept of what a fallacy is. But like I said, unless you can explain what KIND of fallacy you think my argument is, simply calling it a fallacy thinking you've proven anything is a fallacy in and of itself. I don't need to make your arguments for you if you want me to be convinced of what you're saying.

    Adding an ad hominem on top just shows you have no idea what a fallacy even is.

  • Hmm, das erklärt, warum ich auf lemmy.ml allein aufgrund meines Benutzernames gebannt wurde.

  • Yeah unless you can explain WHY it's a fallacy, that's just your opinion.

  • Simply calling something a fallacy doesn't make it one.

  • Freddy Mercury did.

  • Oh, no reason.

  • very little light reaches the inside.

    Just like like people

  • Ah, okay then. The good old “you’re wrong because I say so.”

  • I don't wear any watch at all. Time isn't real, it was invented by capitalists to sell more watches.

  • It's because people somehow keep believing that voting for some politician is magically going to solve all their problems for them. It won't. Things might get better for a little while if they actually DO end up passing some law that happens to work in your favor, but in the grand scheme of things, you're better off not waiting for them to do anything and working to solve your own problems instead.

    This goes for the left and the right BTW. Both have an unhealthy obsession with this sort of mindset.

  • Where JavaScript?

  • Think about it this way: by making their lives easier, you make life easier for yourself, too. It doesn't take a lot of effort to put a proper .gitattributes file in your repo, but in return, you'll nip any potential future issues from Windows users who are trying to contribute accidentally or unknowingly checking in files with the wrong line endings.

    Inb4 "I don't care about contributions from Windows users anyways": a lot of apps are multiplatform these days (usually Electron). It's unreasonable to expect people to do all their coding in Linux and only use Windows for testing, especially when all the tooling already exists on Windows. VS Code will handle a repo with LF line endings just fine as long as you told git not to convert the line endings when checking out.

  • But capitalism bad!

    I agree though, the more correct term to use would be boomers.

  • Of course I have a right to tell her that, whether or not she actually does it, or whether I have the right to violently enforce my opinion on her is an entirely different matter. But we were just arguing hypotheticals in this thread anyways.

    FWIW I’m not convinced that banning abortion is the solution, but neither that making it easier and safer to access solves any problems, because neither do anything to address the root cause of why women feel like they need to have any abortions at all (excluding those necessary for medical reasons of course).

    But sure, I’m clearly the petulant child here that’s out of my depth, because an intelligent person would have no problem seeing such nuances instead of resorting to politically popular catch phrases.

    And it’s funny, isn’t it, because women tell men all the time what they ought to do with their bodies (go to work, make money, provide for the family, share the housework, don’t drink, don’t do drugs, the list goes on), yet as a man, I’m supposedly not allowed to even have an opinion what what a woman should do with hers? I’m sorry, that just sounds like blatant sexism, but I’m sure that as long as it’s in favor of women, you’re perfectly happy accepting that.

  • Yeah, I’m afraid that’s just an ad hominem, not an argument.

    And no, I don’t have a problem figuring out where you stand on the issue, but since you apparently can’t even defend your position without resorting to insults, this seems to be a clear case of “you can’t reason anyone out of an opinion which by reason they never acquired”.

  • Not as ridiculous as you, who, having made no arguments whatsoever, just comes barging in two days later just to give their opinion on the matter.

  • Ah, okay. Great argument, I’m totally convinced now. /s

  • My bad. I fixed it.
