    1. Would I not pay my roofer if they were a Rump supporter?
    2. They did a good job on my roof. What do their political opinions matter?
    3. If I was XRaying your broken arm, would you refuse, because I support a tankie for writing apolitical software I like to use?

    1… 2… 3… See, in Lemmy the comments are attached under the post. That’s how you know what a person is responding to.

      Excellent work!
      Line is however subjective. On my device that’s actually 5 lines, because 2 of them wrap. And you didn’t count the blank line between your lines 2 and 3. That would make 4 if you had.

      But that’s just coincidence and post hock nitpicking. Really I assumed you were referring to both of my primary comments together, since you also referenced the second. And calling the short paragraphs lines. Count them that way, there were also 4.

        Remember me saying you’re arguing semantics? You are now trying to argue that you wrote 4 lines not 3 because of a blank line…

            That is correct. You argued that a blank line counts as part of your original argument… I am playing chess with a pigeon it seems.

            “Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it won.”

              You thought this was chess?
              With your first reply you played a game of pointless pedantic posturing in the pursuit of pretend points. I just had fun playing along during moments of down time between patients.

              You fell in the the Tankie argument trap where nothing they say makes any sense yet they still think youre the idiot. You also sometimes feel like an idiot trying to deconstruct the incoherent trans theyre saying.

                We never argued tankie anything.
                From Modikins first response it was all pedantic drivel. Nothing of substance. They started by attacking my bad analogies, without actually reading them. I just played the game they started, and took it to its logical conclusion.
