There would be absolutely nothing of substance left on X without crypto and rage politics
- unselect5917 6mo agoAmerica and Japan have been discussing BBQ for about a week and. And the Japanese have just discovered ranch dressing. It's hilarious to watch. Russians recently joined in and, they're fuckin' hilarious in a way that only Russians could be: https://imgur.com/GaTnQk7.jpg https://imgur.com/GaTnQk7.jpg The people who hate Musk/X always out themselves by flagrantly lying about it/him.
- dwroberts 6mo agoIs this the X marketing team or something? You’ve posted about discussing BBQ with different nations twice in the comments here
- unselect5917 6mo agoIt completely took over twitter for like a week and it was endearing. I made this myself (with grok's help) to celebrate: https://i.imgur.com/MG9mUxW.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/MG9mUxW.jpeg If you're rejecting X out of hate for Musk, you're simply missing out on some really cool stuff happening. The BBQ thing a huge international thing. I learned that the Japanese have a term that translates as "food terrorism": pictures of mouthwatering food that you only get to look at, not eat. It was a bigger deal than even I'm conveying and honestly heartwarming.

- HanClinto 6mo agoThis sounds delightful and wholesome. :D I think it's easy to lose sight of these pockets of mundane goodness, and I appreciate you highlighting them.
- angoragoats 6mo ago“If you reject the Nazi bar out of hate for Nazis, you’re simply missing out on some really cool stuff happening.” Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds? I’m not going to grab a beer at the Nazi bar just because there are occasionally cool people there who aren’t Nazis. > I made this myself (with grok's help) to celebrate: No, a slop generator generated it for you. You did not make it yourself, in any sense of the phrase.

- thunderfork 6mo ago"argument from similie I disagree with" is not a strawman
- unselect5917 6mo agoYou literally made up something in your own head, put it in quotes, and then pretended I said it. Textbook strawman fallacy. Twice.
- angoragoats 6mo agoFYI @thunderfork is not me, seems like you might be confused about that. You also seem confused about the purpose of quotation marks, which can be used for things besides indicating what someone said.

- hightrix 6mo agoSo a couple of people in Japan tried ranch for the first time and it is news worthy? If this isn’t a paid marketing post, you should apply!
- unselect5917 6mo agoYou can tell someone is having a very emotional response when they respond with a strawman fallacy like "a couple of people in Japan tried ranch for the first time" And that's when you stop engaging with the bad-faith actor: >Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
- thunderfork 6mo ago"this doesn't sound as interesting as you seem to think it is" is not a strawman
- angoragoats 6mo agoPlease take your own advice to follow the site's rules and stop being so quick to falsely accuse people of fallacies. Engage with their actual words instead. Ironically, when you post a reply like this, it is you who's committing an ad hominem fallacy (but as I mentioned in another thread, I'd much rather address your arguments than call that out).
- chrisweekly 6mo agoThat's simply not true.
