    So, do you trust major news organizations when they report this story, or do you trust them when they say not to always trust them? You can’t have it both ways.

    The reality here is simple: you don’t like Trump. You’re not even in the US, but you saw this article and thought it’d be a fun “gotcha” moment with someone you assumed was a Trump supporter.

    But you got it wrong—I’m not a Trump supporter. Now that your assumption didn’t pan out, you’ve shifted the conversation into a philosophical debate about truth, conspiracy theories, or whatever else.

    That’s fine, but let’s be honest: I see what you’re doing. Changing the angle doesn’t change the fact that your initial argument was based on a false assumption.

    Friend, I’m retired. I can legit just argue back and forth with you all day, every day. And I enjoy it. Lemmy is my hobby. I have no problem and no guilt with being on here 24/7.

    So you do what you gotta do, but you won’t tire me out. I promise. Thanks! :)

      Well argue your point then! “oh news orgs report on it” is not a good argument. And you know it. Nor is going with personal attacks nor making presumptions about me.

      If you’re gonna argue, argue. Right now you’re shitting the chessboard

        I already told you what I think. You keep trying to get blood from this turnip.

        I believe him. I don’t care if you agree or not. It’s really that simple.

        And I also believe that you just want to keep having the conversation. For no other reason than ego. Thanks!

            Sorry to disappoint. I guess that means our conversation is over. Oh well, thanks for everything and hope you have an awesome day! :)

              I’m off to bed, enjoy your hat!

              Just note it works more like a radar dish in that it keeps more radiation in your head than out. You can find tests of the stuff on youtube.

                Fits perfectly. Also turns out that it makes me immune to Lemmy people trying to start arguments. Thanks, friend! :)
