  • Really. It leads into the classic "I'll leave her soon I just need to get a few things in order" lie to keep it going.

  • You can look up the etiquette for whatever region.

  • Or even just with a map and travel guide pamphlet.

  • According to the logs, it was all some person called "mod".

  • That's it, banned. /s

  • Deja Vu

    Jump
  • That's more like "almost but not completely all of the stuff breaks".

  • Same. I don't know, maybe it would be kind of cool to see someone reappear in a totally different context on a large platform. On here you get to know a lot of the other major users anyway.

  • So what, you mean that in just a relative way, compared to some kind of platonic, maximally-ordered alternate possibility? If the world was actually irrational, as in defying logic, basic planning, like walking in the direction you want to go, would not work.

    Instead, it's extremely orderly if you look closely at any given thing, only becoming unpredictable with scale and influence by other, unknown-to-you parts. Even quantum mechanics has utterly predictable probabilities. And interpretations where the randomness is, itself, an illusion.

  • I mean, that is still a gross mess, but it's way more deliberate than OP's examples.

  • Malice is still a possibility, though. He was getting some kind of revenge on everyone around him, and then didn't want to face the music when he got caught.

  • The furnace doesn't run when it's hot, so it'll be fine. (No AC is still common in Canada)

  • Or religion is it with extra steps.

    There is a relation.

  • Absurd, sure. Irrational? Good luck living according to that for any length of time.

  • It's alright, I'm not real either.

  • It's true. They haven't done that in a few hundred years, though.

  • Profound.

  • Most of the time when you see this, the person being accused straight-up doesn't seem to know their fallacies, so it doesn't work.

    If they do know, and try to explain why they're not doing whatever fallacy, the conversation descends into a weird semantic debate, and the original point tends to be forgotten.

    Explaining the problem with the argument in plain terms has a far better track record.

  • In this spirit, all of science used to be part of philosophy, under the umbrella of "natural philosophy".

  • Yep, and that's probably through better access to and knowledge of contraception and other kinds of family planning. In really patriarchal societies men don't have to worry as much about the difficulty of raising a high number children. Or giving birth to them.

    You can find anecdotes supporting that causation, although there's no hard data that I'm aware of.
