    This conversation started with some people cheekily blaming Boeing (a fair first reaction). Then some dude chided everyone for being like qanon, I said that was a deep over exaggeration, now here I am getting a lesson in pedantry. What even are conversations like this?

    I read the thread one way and a couple others didn’t. End of story.

      "oh, sorry. I was mistaken about what deductive reasoning means, and I can see why what I said did not convey what I actually think. Thanks for the correction.’

        “Sorry for caring more about pedantry than the topic at hand. I’ll speak to my therapist about that”

          Lol I assure you me and my therapist have way more pressing issues to talk about than you refusing to admit you are wrong.

            The fact that you think a phrase can’t imply a “potential conclusion” and instead must be a “certain conclusion” would agree with you there.

              What didn’t you understand about me and my therapist having more important things to discuss than you being wrong and refusing to admit it?

              Oh, wait, I see what this is. It’s a projection. Your inability to admit you are wrong is something you realize you need to work through, which is why you are claiming that I have issues I need to work through.

              You’ll be fine tho, it’s not that big of a thing.

                You see you just admitted you got issues beyond “me being wrong”. I used your words against you to say I agree. Surely a pedant could appreciate the weaponization of an opponent’s words to use against them

                  Oh I see, people mean what they say when it confirms what you want to be true, but when it puts you in a tricky spot… Well, then, man you have to be really stupid to think they actually mean it.

                  Lol how convenient

                  Pure gold, my man
