Watch the film Michael Clayton. You’re welcome.

No, you don’t. :) why lie?

Pedantic obsession over language is incredibly boring. We agree.
May 1, 2025 at 5:07 PM
No shit? I thought you said the discourse was shitty?
May 1, 2025 at 5:03 PM
When you say shitty discourse, do you mean literally shitty? How does that work? Where does the shit go?
May 1, 2025 at 5:03 PM
Actually, anyone can be a Bluesky commenter. Even pedants who obsess over word usage.
May 1, 2025 at 5:02 PM
You thought I believed that your use of the idiom “alternate universe” was literal. This is still what you’re going with.
May 1, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Casual Bluesky comments about politics should have scientific rigor behind them. This is your point. Wild.
May 1, 2025 at 4:58 PM
You thought that an incredibly common idiom was taken literally. You’re sticking with that.
May 1, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Calling out people’s word usage is a pointless distraction. But you have a very strange relationship with words. Is English your first language? Curious.
May 1, 2025 at 4:54 PM
I asked you a question. Did you seriously think anyone believes you literally meant “you live in an alternate universe”?
May 1, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Do you seriously think anyone believes that you were literally saying Jamelle lives in an alternate universe? Wtf?

You criticized his point, and then acquiesced that he was right when you got called out for it. Those are conflicting ideas. This is really simple stuff. For most people, anyway.
May 1, 2025 at 4:49 PM
Saying that you have two conflicting ideas, which you did, doesn’t in any way follow that “you live in an alternate universe” was taken literally. You’re still being purposely obtuse. It’s quite weird.
May 1, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Oh I understand you, man. :) That’s not an issue here.
May 1, 2025 at 4:33 PM
“I obviously wasn’t seriously stating that Jamelle lives in an alternate universe” is a purposely obtuse statement pretending that people are so dumb as to think when you said “you live in an alternate universe” you meant it literally.
May 1, 2025 at 4:32 PM
No, you were, if you want people to believe your current backpedal, being ridiculously pedantic. But we know that’s not what your point was.
May 1, 2025 at 4:30 PM
Pretending I think that you’re literally saying he lives in parallel universe is being purposely obtuse, yes
May 1, 2025 at 4:25 PM
This started because you said he was living in a parallel universe, which isn’t a metaphor for “he uses hyperbole” in any sense of the phrase
May 1, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Now we are in the “purposely obtuse” phase. You’re hitting all the cliches. Amazing stuff.
May 1, 2025 at 3:44 PM
Now we are the “I was kidding” stage. Carry on, I guess.
May 1, 2025 at 3:00 PM
“My man lives in a parallel universe” and “he’s probably right” are two conflicting ideas, and maybe you should have thought through your comments before you made one

“By declining to name the culprit, the FDA was withholding critical information that consumers could use to make decisions about what they buy. It’s also possible that someone could have been sickened during the outbreak and not have realized the cause.”
