Your distractions will not work against me. Prove there isn’t a teapot orbiting Mercury. I want you to demonstrate for everyone here why that doesn’t make sense.

Ok?, they weren’t and you know that, which means your response was meant to detract from the original argument and to prevent any further constructive communication.

All you’re complaining about here is that my biases are different from yours.

I’m not complaining about anything, I’m calling out your hypocrisy.

I’m pretty open about my biases dude,

You sure weren’t open about it in that comment I responded to.

I’ve been watching you for years dude, you don’t have room to talk about biases.

“Nobody is stopping you from explaining why the original posted story is wrong.”

Breaking news: There is a teapot orbiting Mercury.

Use your sources to prove it wrong.

It’s obvious they’re not talking about that type of liberal.

Why would a Russian care?

Donetsk and Luhansk Republics

1991 isn’t real.

OP would that work as a G700s replacement?, I assume this mouse I have will eventually fail.

“just buy another server”

That’s not a strawman, strawman is making shit up then arguing against it as if the other person said it.

Don’t worry, they’ll continue to fail upwards.

Idk if it’s helpful but Google Fi uses the T-Mobile network. I’m also using T-Mobile’s home 5G internet with an external 3rd party antenna out in the boondocks. I get 150mbps down, 15 up.

It’s been over 24 hours and he’s done nothing to displace my assumptions. This isn’t my first day on the internet, I’ve seen this shit before.

some pretty insane assumptions there mate

Perhaps, something about it set off my bullshit radar.

No way you were in a combat related occupation and didn’t own a personal firearm. If you had a desk job then what was the point of mentioning the Army?

I call bullshit.

We really ought to be strengthening our supply networks.

Not even that, producers and consumers need to stop being dependent on one crop.

17. Change the Subject ~ Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can ‘argue’ with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.

25 Rules of Disinformation

Sidetrack Opponents with Name-Calling and Ridicule ~ This is also known as the primary ‘attack the messenger’ ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as ‘kooks’, ‘right-wing’, ‘liberal’, ‘left-wing’, ‘terrorists’, ‘conspiracy buffs’, ‘radicals’, ‘militia’, ‘racists’, ‘religious fanatics’, ‘sexual deviates’, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

Good thing I’m not a liberal.
