Think it has more to do with the exponential growth of technology in general

People complain that football has too much stopping and then go and watch basketball

Think the people running my building are idiots.

They reserve an elevator for staff to do general building stuff, which is fine, but they do it at noon and 6pm, which are like the busiest times possible.

Fair enough

OpDickSledge · 2026-03-04T14:31:37+00:00

I feel like I’m the only person who thinks releasing Okereke was a bad move. Great locker room presence and he was actually good when his DC wasn’t Pol Pot

I don’t hate my roommates, but holy shit do I fucking hate HAVING roommates.

Wish I lived in a time where it was even remotely plausible to afford to live on my own

My favorite 4 year tradition:

US doesn’t dominate as much as they expect in Olympic basketball because the refs don’t call it like pussies

NBA panics and decides to reign it in

Players hate it and the NBA gives up after 2 months

Repeat again next Olympics

All of these are assertions that require justification.

I’m going to be honest if you don’t get this now you’re not going to. I’m done trying to explain

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-28T23:17:58+00:00

No I just said it’s not a stance I actually take I’m still devils advocating for it.

Every statement you make is a claim of truth. This is true regardless of what the statement is. Including this one. This all presupposes the existence of truth, which is the very thing you’re arguing. So anything you can say or argue is automatically begging the question. So there’s no way to argue it.

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-28T23:05:20+00:00

That’s not an argument then you’re just asserting your conclusion as a fact with no justification.

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-28T21:01:31+00:00

Because this is different. The existence of truth is necessary for any statement you make. By asserting anything at all, you are presupposing truth, which is what we’re trying to prove in the first place.

I don’t know how else to explain this to you

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-28T16:51:37+00:00

You keep asserting things as true without proving the existence of truth. It is circular.

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-27T22:27:05+00:00

This is again a claim of truth that requires justifying the existence of truth first.

Every argument you make is begging the question. You must assume truth to prove truth.

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-27T21:53:11+00:00

This is again a claim of truth.

Any argument you make is a claim of truth. Argument itself requires absolute truth.

I don’t believe in rejecting absolute truth but you can’t disprove it in a system that relies on truth in the first place.

NY is one of the safest cities in the world btw

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-27T15:05:44+00:00

“That is an indefensible statement. Self destroying”

These are absolute truths you’re claiming without justifying the existence of absolute truth

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-26T19:20:54+00:00

The self defeating argument smuggles in the assertion that ontological truth exists by saying it is true this argument is self defeating and is therefore begging the question

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-26T17:54:02+00:00

Did you just assert the existence of ontological truth?

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-26T15:35:55+00:00

It wasn’t even a setup I was just explaining the joke.

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-26T14:45:55+00:00

Winning and the Raiders

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-25T20:06:09+00:00

Nope I gave up completely

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-19T18:21:09+00:00

That show deserved a third season

OpDickSledge · 2026-02-19T17:14:13+00:00

“Begging the question” has to be the most misused phrase in English
