I do understand that, it just seems like bringing up a random fact that has no bearing on the actual discussion and seems like it’s missing some additional context to actually be funny.

But, again, totally accepting that I’m the one it’s just not clicking with :)

Thanks for trying though, my skull must just be too thick!

I’m whooshing pretty hard because I still don’t understand what the joke is, but I’ll just assume that’s on me :)

Thanks for trying to help me understand!

What does that have to do with a situation that’s not in France?

You had me doubting that I knew who Eric Adams is.

Well done :)

Great lengths are gone to, to avoid responding to direct questions. If you can accuse the other person of being in a bad group (bot, capitalist, not actually left, from an instance I don’t like, etc) then you can avoid reflecting on your own philosophies and the flaws that exist in it. Cognitive dissonance avoided and upvotes gained, pretty compelling for our brains.

Cool

Have you done actual research or are you assuming because it feels right, it must be?

That your girlfriend?

It’s important to me that when someone makes a big claim they back it up. The challenge is that the article doesn’t say what was claimed.

I didn’t make the claim therefore nothing for me to back up.

Still being lazy I see

“I’m not lying, I’m lazy”

Dope

Why didn’t you quote the part where they are discussing restricting it?
