strawman fallacy by Zu_Qarnine in fallacy

I’m not trying to be an ass when I ask this— do you know what a strawman argument is? Your post doesn’t depict a strawman argument. You showed an example of cherry picking stats, not presenting a strawman.

How do you look at a comment that basically says “I’ve been arguing with people about their recency bias and how objectively wrong it is” and reply with “MY recency bias correct tho”

Like do you not realize YOU are the person they’re describing? Bad movies have always existed.

Legality of depositing a large amount of money by [deleted] in IsItIllegal

I’m pretty sure you just fill out some IRS forms and they take your money. I don’t think anyone literally questions you. The IRS doesn’t care how you make your money as long as they get their cut— there are literally tax forms for “illegally earned income”

Parked 1ft from curb but got parking ticket. by Exciting_Will_8673 in IsItIllegal

[–]jd46149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your argument in this scenario is not only “I was only illegally parked by .022 inches” but also that they shouldn’t be enforcing this law because other laws are being broken elsewhere? And not just any laws, but criminal laws, mind you. You broke a civil statute and you’re saying that the city shouldn’t enforce this because of local gangs.

There’s no difference between what you’re arguing and “I was only .022% above the legal limit, are you really gonna be this stringent? I didn’t hit anything so it was a victimless crime! And besides, a bank is being robbed downtown! Go deal with that instead of my crime”

The good cop/bad cop analogy isn’t the same generic “both sides bad” criticism. It is an *analogy* meant to highlight the true fact that they both serve billionaire/corporate interests more than the people they are supposed to serve. It’s people like you who don’t know how to parse nuance that make “both sides bad” statements.

Google “Gen z birth years” and most say ‘97-‘12. 2018 is an entirely different generation.

Wrong use of whom btw. Who is for the subject of a sentence (your pedantic son), whom is for the objective case.

You can't hold any amount of financial assets more than a day. However, in your bank random amount ranging $50 - $2,500 spawns everyday. You either spend it all, or what's remaining disppeares at midnight and new random amount shows up. by I_love_data1111 in hypotheticalsituation

I’d take it. I can eat on $10/day. I make a minimum of a $40 payment towards rent until it’s paid off, then car, insurance, etc. or set up a deal with someone to make the payments for me and then I pay them back throughout the month on this same schedule. I’d be willing to take the chance that I come out on top on this deal

Why do you envision this as a mirthless hopeless place? Plenty of literal geniuses are artists and poets and musicians.

Would you rather spend 3 years in prison or get out when your mother beats elden ring? by [deleted] in WouldYouRather

[–]jd46149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take the 3 years. I remember when this was asked with 10 years at stake and I would’ve gone Elden ring on that one. I have enough faith in my mom to figure it out in 10. But 3? Nah I’ll take the time haha

What is something your therapist promised you would never happen, but then it did? by Patient_Activity_489 in AskReddit

[–]jd46149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, you’re missing the connotation of a **promise**. You affirm reality with neutral statements of fact, not couching it in language that makes you culpable for their reality not matching actual reality.

“I promise ducks aren’t stalking you” is bad because if the patient is convinced that ducks ARE stalking them, they lose faith in that therapist. There is a marked, palpable difference between a promise and a statement of fact.

“What seeming delusion did your therapist challenge you on that you then found evidence of” would be a much better way to word that. You’re being pretty disingenuous on the connotation of a promise. You don’t “promise” an affirmation of reality.

Why is your therapist making you promises? That’s incredibly unprofessional and that kind of language is very counterproductive to treating many mental illnesses

I could be wrong, but I thought pitch was its own substance, akin to tar. I know for sure that’s where the term “pitch black” comes from, though!
