      No one has ever had a bad neighbor? Or no one has ever complained about petty bullshit on Facebook? Or Karens aren’t real?

          Not really. They use ‘there’ wrong early on in the rant. If anything, stuff like that makes it more believable to me.

        That is not what I commented.

        Why are so many arguments on the Internet started like this where a specific, qualified claim is made and then the response tries to pretend a universal, unqualified, ridiculous claim was made instead?

          And?

          Not sure how this is relevant considering you didn’t make a specific, qualified claim. Saying something “Sounds fake as hell tbh” isn’t a qualified claim by any reasonable metric. If you had instead said, “This sounds fake because <reason>” that would be qualifying your claim.

            That a particular post “sounds” fake as hell is indeed a specific, qualified claim.

            I’m not saying that nothing similar ever happened at any point in time which is what you’re trying to get me to defend. I’m saying that this particular post sounds fake as hell.
