My next door neighbors are in the same situation

Well. At least we both will never get to retire!

What if she’s born with it

Wouldn’t it be sick if once your company got up to a net worth of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS you’d just stop trying to shoehorn in new ways to make profit?

How do you tell the difference between someone asking you to show evidence for your claims, or clarifying your point, or having a normal conversation with you - and sealioning?

Can you give examples of both cases?

I just think that whenever there is any discourse on the internet where 2 people disagree (for the record I disagree with that guy as well), people just immediately throw out buzz words as a way to shut down the conversation. It’s so irritating to me.

Sealioning! Slippery slope! Bad faith! Gish Gallop!

It’s so cringe to me. People just try to figure out a word for what the other person is doing so they get to stop actually trying to intelligently debate them.

I guess I very rarely see anyone try at all. And in lots of cases it just eliminates any possibility of actually changing a person’s mind. Just calling them a name makes them hate you more and entrenches them in their opinion.

I guess I don’t have a solution the internet is just a fucking sewer.

I actually kind of admire it. The ability to manipulate all of those idiots.

Somewhere along the line politicians figured out that you can actually win even if your platform barely mentions politics.

People have this desire to hate eachother that much. So much so that you will always vote for the candidate that makes the people you hate the most angry.

It’s genius.

Nothing. Everything good is eventually destroyed by greed. Just enjoy it while it lasts.

I mean yeah I hope the internet always stays open. Just like I hope Sallie Mae helps lower tuition prices and Zillow stops buying and inflating the housing market.

Good luck.
