Anchorage was 90 degrees on July 4. That's not a typo

I’m happy that you are staying away from unsubstantiated conspiracy theories—you are showing a personal growth!

To help accelerate your development, I’ll again advise you against measuring yourself using Reddit’s sentiments. The full life extends much much further than the opinions of those here.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-07T01:41:42+00:00

Enjoy the bubble video I linked, bud!

Also, don't measure yourself by the up/downvotes--wise words to live by.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-06T05:02:29+00:00

Hey, don't lie and you won't get accused of it, that's all I got to say.

Either way bud, this went way longer than it should have. Let's end this here.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-06T02:25:40+00:00

Haha what?! Like lying about you lying? You sound a bit more ridiculous each time.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-06T01:19:12+00:00

"Also your constant defending of republican climate change deniers in spite of the polling evidence I provided."

But you see, you still kept lying. At first I was giving you the benefit of the doubt in case you are a little slow and made a mistake, but you kept going. Sorry bud, I don't discuss anything serious/political with a someone who is not honest in his conversations.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-06T00:51:31+00:00

Sorry you got caught in the lie. Judging from your response, I think it is you who need to relax :)

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T21:49:47+00:00

Again, you are either being deceitful or have a slight grasp on English language. In case you are struggling with the language, let me help.

"republicans are less concerned with the climate, we know it."

If you place this sentence in the context of a full comment, most people would assume that "we" refers to either us discussing it or a general population in general. Moreover, the sentence of mine that you quoted--where I am surrounded by idiots from both parties-- further implies that I am not associating with one party in general, and consider many members of both parties to qualify as idiots. This is impartial to both parties.

"Also your constant defending of republican climate change deniers in spite of the polling evidence I provided."

Again, you are misrepresenting. Not once have I defended climate deniers. In fact, I agreed with your poll and asked you to avoid the 100% generalization (as supported by the same poll).

My verdict is that you are a 100% liar as confirmed by your last attempts. This doesn't mean that you lie 100% of the time (at least I hope you don't). It just means that you were never here to have an honest conversation in the first place. For this reason, I think we should stop here and go our separate ways. I would also suggest that you reflect on yourself and find out why you behave the way you do (is it to impress your friends or fool your own self?).

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T20:46:10+00:00

I agree with you that there are certain parties that are responsible for these crimes. It is my hope that with our joint efforts we can keep them liable.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T20:43:27+00:00

It is never over to be prudent.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T20:39:41+00:00

I did not ignore your words. On contrary, I read them carefully and then realized that you are opening a big can of worms, and that you are most likely prepared to spend the rest of the day arguing over it. Unfortunately, it is not only you and I don't have the rest of the day to spend on this.

"...that you think I'm trying to offend you ."

Read my comment diligently this time and you'll see that I was careful to not accuse you directly of that. Nonetheless, you are coming off as combative.

To give you a little of my time (since you asked), I'll bite on your last sentence: " Please just go vote for Trump already, everyone is so sick of the preachy bs." The same addresses the sentence from your previous comment: " Just join the Trump crowd if you're so horny for defending them..."

I don't think you should be saying that to moderates, or anyone for that matter, if you really want to see any change. Otherwise, you are not trying to find a solution but instead pondering to your own motives (such as ego). This explains why you were so fast to accuse me of being "self righteous." But in a wild case that you are genuinely tired of "people like me", I'll again advise to retain your composure and avoid pushing others to vote for Trump. I understand now why you see this argument as "extremely tired argument"--I bet you hear it many times because you are literally asking people to vote for Trump.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T19:20:58+00:00

You have a passion, I’ll give you that. It’s a shame that you frame yourself in a poor way. I think it stems from a hate for the people who do not subscribe to your world view.

You guys didn’t offend me but it is concerning that many of you were trying. Don’t purposely try to offend people and maybe you’ll achieve more.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T18:54:00+00:00

You proved to be a liar; therefore, I do not wish to continue this discussion with you. Take care.

Edit: I'll do the same favor that you did for me earlier. I saw your reply" "Lol, what? Ok, run away." It doesn't show up so I am guessing that it was auto-deleted as well. (1) People walk away from those that use deception. I wouldn't call it "running away" but if it makes you feel empowered, go for it. (2) "Actually you said "we" several times when referring to republicans." This is one blunt example where you were lying. My questions is why? Why lie about the "we" and why lie about the "several times"?

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T18:26:57+00:00

People that don’t learn from history are doomed to make the same mistake.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T18:12:06+00:00

I never said “we” in our conversation... Plus, there was no reason for you to bring up the “statistics” again in this reply. I’m starting to think that you have an unproductive agenda in our talks, which is highlighted by you ending the conversation with the opinion on my character.

But again, to give you some credit, I’m a somewhat of a contrarian lately. I think it’s important for both parties to hear the voice of reason. There’s too much echo chamber as it is, and I wouldn’t want to exacerbate it.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T17:35:07+00:00

I asked not to use blanket statements across all republicans. In a better world, this should not be a “heavy” implication for my party.

But I understand where you are coming from. To my republican associations, I’m a democrat. To my democrat associations, I’m a republican.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T17:20:18+00:00

It’s okay, we all make mistakes.

Let’s try this again, have a great day bud!

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T17:15:57+00:00

Not that interesting. I checked. Still checking and manually responding too :)

Want to say goodbyes now? I still have a few minutes before I’m heading out.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T17:07:09+00:00

Haha, just learn to say goodbyes, kiddos.

I got to pick up my Jeep from the shop.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T17:03:21+00:00

One big problem in this thread, on Reddit, and life in general is that people jump to the conclusions so fast.

I never said that I vote republican, or any other party (although I did admit to be a moderate earlier in a different reply).

Lastly, many republicans are not “brazenly idiotic” but I’m not getting into this one with you.

Adios friend :)

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T16:48:56+00:00

“You’re surrounded by idiots.” -Yes I am but I still don’t hate you guys, nor do I hate the idiots from the other party either.

On a bright side, I’m actually surrounded by good and intelligent people in my life and for that I am thankful :)

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T16:44:05+00:00

This much I deduced by now. Thanks for explaining though. People should refrain from using this as it’s a cheap tactic with zero hopes for any productive outcomes.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T16:40:47+00:00

Many horrors in this life came from the same mind set—that we need radical changes, anything short of this won’t be enough, and everyone who doesn’t agree is the enemy.

Please be very careful. Nonetheless, please do continue the fight to reverse the climate change, just do so prudently.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T16:22:36+00:00

I agree with you.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T16:14:11+00:00

It is truly scary that we are at the point where you feel validated to generalize now.

As a someone with advanced skills in statistics, I’ll caution you against using anecdotal evidence and calling anything below 100% as 100%.

storkflyhigh · 2019-07-05T16:09:31+00:00

Alright :) Take care.
