"How was your weekend?"
"Yesterday my uncle died and my dog got hit by a car"
A lot of people communicate this way.
I get the sense that you're on some vendetta against all of my comments for some reason, but I'm not on a weird strike against anything except poor assumptions.
But, agree to disagree I suppose.

I imagine they thought it had some association with logical skills and success in computer programming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_fallacy
- GavinMcG 5y agoThe conjunction fallacy has to do with evaluation of likelihood. It's completely unrelated to the conversation so far, which has to do with interpreting whether a conjunction is meaningful in itself.
