He is in a thread talking about disposable vapes. It is very easy to grasp that his comment was entirely about vapes. You have somehow taken a huge mental leap, to arrivale at disposable everything.

They literally said disposables shouldn’t exist altogether
I think it’s a huge mental leap to pretend they were being nuanced and accurate with their words or to act surprised that someone took their words literally as they presented them.

You’re having an argument with an imaginary position rather than asking them to clarify. It’s beyond stupid to assume their position when you didn’t have enough information to begin with. You’re not showing yourself to be as smart as you seem to think you are.

Except they DID have enough information as this entire conversation is taking place under a “UK is considering banning disposable vapes” thread. The “well actually” is strong in this one.

Lmfao, and you lot are throwing a hissy fit because someone pointed out a position you never generally consider and made you uncomfortable.

I’m done here, feel free to continue shouting the defences of your cognitive dissonance in to the void… 👍

I think you’re getting a bit too worked up about pixels on a screen

Ah, yes, the “over sensitive” dismissal, a classic. Gotta make sure you never consider for a second that you might simply need to express yourself more clearly in future.
Good luck with that.

Oh. Was your reading comprehension so bad, you thought he was talking about disposable nappies in a thread about disposable vapes?

Create post

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
