    I don’t think this rumor is true

    and you don’t think that based on… absolutely no knowledge whatsoever?

      You could say exactly the same thing about anyone who believe this rumor.

        you could.

        so how did you form your opinion? what privileged knowledge do you have on the topic?

          This may come as a crazy shock to you, but, hear me out… You can just say stuff sometimes, for fun, without being super serious.

          Not everything has to be a thesis, it’s also okay to just shoot the shit.

            I like the fact that someone hates the idea of saying things for fun so much they had to downvote you for pointing it out. They’re just out here with scholarly citations for every single thing they’ve ever said and didn’t reply because they couldn’t immediately cite a paper with a counter argument.

              there is big difference between not having scientific citation and not being able to say why you say things.

              “i am just saying words man, why do they have to mean anything…?”


              The reductio ad absurdum fallacy occurs when someone tries to prove an argument false by misapplying the premises or making false and absurd conclusions from the argument. It is similar to other fallacies, such as the appeal to ridicule, the straw-man, and the slippery-slope fallacy.

            “my words don’t mean anything” is most bizarre argument i have ever seen.

            you should preface anything you say publicly with that, to save people some time. in the interest of saving time, you are now on my block list. bye
