Well, not at first, but after an hour of everyone explaining the sentence, and how it was a proper well-written sentence, at some point maintaining that you were correct that it didn’t make sense had to start being a character you were playing.
Whether unintentionally manifested through ODD, or intentional, same difference.
That’s fair. Though it was more in response to how consistently negative you were being to everyone else. Like you were trying to prove to everyone else the sentence was as hard to read as you thought it was. I was more attacking the character you were playing with ad hominem, to show you how your position was coming across.
While it may be difficult to start reading books at the point you are at, it seems like it might be worth the effort to overcome the initial difficulties.
I don’t know where the line is from, but gonna guess from context it’s “fuck a stranger in the ass”.
If your post said what you wanted it to say, without missing a sentance explaining the part you kept in your head, people wouldn’t have to “figure out” that you are saying the opposite of what it sounds like you are saying, because “you know” you would never say what it looks like you are saying.
You just need a second sentence about how it’s hypocracy that they said that or something. The part that you know in your head, but didn’t put “on paper”.
It’s like, in speaking, you could just emphasise the right syllables the right way and that string of text would read exactly how you intend it to. But in text, that doesn’t work.
It’s like putting down the lyrics to a song without the melody and expecting everyone to sing it the same way you hear it in your head. Only works if they already know the melody. There is no way for us to know your melody, so you instead can’t write ambiguously. If you want other people to follow along.
Half your thought is still in your head. When you read this to yourself, it sounds like what you intended to say. When everyone else reads it, we are still missing context.
Umm, is it possible you might be taking this personally? Your response seems super unnecessarily aggressive.
At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.
Plus, the headline is really leading in that direction too, the article itself makes it pretty clear that it is a real, reputable product. Their wording in the headline is technically correct, they specifically call it a company “you’ve likely never encountered” rather than “noone has heard of”, the company has already been at the forefront before and announced that they would be again in 2025, this is fulfilling that promise.
Ok, sorry, 2 hours. But either way, one hour would have sufficed for it to no longer be legitimate confusion anymore. And I can for sure go away, just stop posting things you are trying to get responses to. Although I think at this point, this is my last response even if you keep doing so.
