I'm on that server and that's how I feel too.

If it goes poorly, then it can be blocked, but to not try seems silly to me.

And the frog could just jump out of the pot before he boils.

Sure, every other time the water has kept getting hotter and hotter like this it ended up boiling but honestly I really trust the corporations here and I think we should just wait it out! They promised they were just going to slowly heat the water up but not bring it to a boil so I don’t see a reason not to trust them.

Which they do, if you are trying to boil them.

Not in the obvious metaphor I was making.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I'm pointing out the metaphor is false and your argument might as well

[-] null@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

The metaphor is clear, and your correction has no bearing on my point whatsoever.

Go be an annoying pedant somewhere else.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Your metaphor is on the Wikipedia's list of common misconceptions. No such luck for your argument.

Absolutely doesn't matter in relation to my point

I'm saying your point isn't true, you silly person

[-] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, you said the common turn of phrase I used is apocryphal.

You haven't made any counterpoint that involved my actual point whatsoever.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

How did you not catch on when I said "and so might be your point" or whatever it was?

Correct

[-] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

"You're wrong".

Neat contribution.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I didn't think it was much but thanks. I'm just happy we understand each other now
