in other words, you cannot explain what point you're trying to make.

is a headline part of an article? yes

should you assume what the article is about based only on an ambiguous headline? no

what is your argument against that?
December 11, 2025 at 5:24 PM
uh yes, so what? so is the very first word of the first sentence. do you think you can judge the rest of the article based on the first word of the first sentence?

i truly don't understand what point you think you're making or why it's directed at me.
December 11, 2025 at 5:13 PM
what is it you think i was saying with that quotation that's any different than what i just said?
December 11, 2025 at 5:06 PM
i've never insisted or suggested that. i've said you shouldn't assume what the article is about, and then take to the comments to decry it, based solely on your interpretation of the headline. i don't know why that's so hard for you to understand.
December 11, 2025 at 4:51 PM
yes, i’m *a mark* because i read past the headline before deciding what an article says. thanks, you’ve really contributed something here
December 11, 2025 at 4:02 PM
tripe sure but what specifically in the article is moralizing? it doesn’t say anything negative about caffeine except that some people need or want to avoid it for various medical reasons. i understand getting the wrong impression from the headline, but the article does not advocate against caffeine
December 11, 2025 at 3:54 PM
do you also advocate for judging a book by its cover? seriously, what are you talking about? if you are incorrectly assuming what an article says based only on the headline, you literally do not know what you’re talking about
December 11, 2025 at 3:44 PM
it could suggest that, or it could simply mean there are more options for you now than ever before if you do quit. if you read even slightly beyond the headline, you’ll find it’s the latter.

many people are making assumptions about the content of an article based solely on one interpretation of the headline. we may be commenting on that phenomenon, but they are not. do you understand?
December 11, 2025 at 6:59 AM
people are commenting on what they assume the article is (moralizing about caffeine intake) based only on the headline
December 11, 2025 at 4:38 AM
you're not wrong about that, but note (1) you actually read the article and are responding to its content, not just your interpretation of the headline and (2) now you're the one moralizing, which was the main imagined critique from the people who didn't bother to read it
December 11, 2025 at 12:25 AM
i think it's embarrassing to comment on something you haven't fully read while misinterpreting the one part of it you did read, regardless of how shitty you think it is
December 10, 2025 at 11:00 PM
how dare these people with their (reasons) to avoid things that other people like
December 10, 2025 at 10:34 PM
okay and? did you read the article? it's about options that have not been sold by these places forever. is the idea that if you don't drink caffeine, you MUST drink either decaf or water or shut the fuck up? why is it so offensive that there are other options for other people?
December 10, 2025 at 10:11 PM
this is NYT's test to see how many people read past the headline. the answer is embarrassing.
December 10, 2025 at 10:01 PM
maybe read the article before commenting on it? there's no moral revival here, it's about cafes offering decaf and caffeine free drinks in addition to all the caffeinated ones. the headline may be misleading if you read it in a certain way, but it takes 20 seconds to figure that out

you have to be extremely insecure about your own intelligence to find comfort in claiming some superior group intelligence

there was no trump tower meeting. ok but it was about adoptions. ok but nothing ever came of it.

and many pundits to this day treat the last one as gospel.

taney wrote that black people had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect" and legalized slavery throughout the territories.

roberts is awful, but there's no reason to rehabilitate taney in any way.

so your theory is that, angry about having to outbid his best friend for property, trump called the cops on him? and now johnson is spinning that as trump being an fbi informant? yes that sounds about right.
