  • There was a study on judges and parole hearings, and early in their shift they were much more likely to grant parole, and the closer it got to lunch time, the less likely they would grant parole.

    After lunch, they were again much more likely to grant parole, but as the day wears on they are more and more strict.

    Consider this an anecdote I am not going to track down the study to prove the great debate or anything I’m tired

    Oh, I get it! By ‘use’ you mean "no one has ever said this ever’, just like by “tankie” you mean “peaceful negotiator”!

    Now I’m not sure what you mean by arguments and points… obviously by argument you mean agreement, and by point you mean vague nonsensical claim not reflected anywhere in English ever.

    Right?

    By right, I mean you’re wrong.

    It’s far beyond “I’m right and you’re wrong.”

    It’s “I am right as reflected by the entire history of the word until its present day, as recorded by Cambridge, Oxford, Webster’s, dictionary.com, and every other English dictionary… and you are wrong”.

    You DO contribute something… a chuckle.

    Nothing in any definition about peace, sorry friend.

    Just a little over a century ago we could get laudanum or whatever over the counter, whenever we wanted. And things were so much better.

    Not ONE drug cartel, thank God we went to war, right?

    The drug war actually made meth and fentanyl use inevitable, to replace heroin, cocaine, etc. If only we had stuck to the classics.

    oh well. Time for my wellbutrin and duozepine and quetiapine and prazosin.

    Those are the drugs I have to take daily to stop screaming, because screaming is bad now or some shit


  • Brilliant!

    Remember when they unveiled “the plan” many years ago? Huge stacks of paper, it looked very comprehensive indeed.

    Of course, all the pages were blank. IT WAS TOP SECRET, YOU SEE, INVISIBLE INK!

    Now, I’m wondering what was on the other 20K pages after the “$2000 credit a year” page. That was invisible. Eight years ago? Ten? I hate it here

    ETA $2000 will be worth $20 by 2027. We should print more money to fix that!

    I have made ZERO blind assertions and provided a definition from CAMBRIDGE.

    Your points aren’t real, if only they were as solid as a brick wall. You have nothing to back you up, I have decades of word usage and published definitions used everywhere English is used.

    That’s because you’re wrong, and that’s okay!

    No, it’s not. Tankie in NO WAY means “people who support peace”.

    You explained why, true, but your explanation was FALSE. Because words are defined by common use. And common use of the word “tankie” is “authoritarian communist”, not “people who support peace”.

    You saying I’ve failed proves that I’m right, because you also say “tankie means people who support peace”. Your claims are absurdly wrong to a comical degree, you’re some kind of bizarro tankie that hates itself.

    Indeed, I said that I directly addressed your points because I did.

    I never said “this is how I use it.” The definition exists independently of me or you.

    And that definition is “authoritarian communist”, and has nothing to do with peace, actually!

    I didn’t say that’s what you said, I addressed how I responded to you. Obviously.

    I don’t care what you are and don’t want to discuss you personally, thank you.

    Tankie means “authoritarian communist”, regardless of what you are or what you think the word means. “Tankie” has nothing to do with “peace”. Actually!

    Definitions exist independently of you, thank God!

    Yes, really!

    I addressed your argument re “definition”, what the definition was, and what makes a definition.

    It’s okay if you don’t see that, that means that you are suffering from some sort of cognitive dissonance. You can’t see it! It’s like it doesn’t exist!

    No accusations have been made, it’s all here for anyone else to see (as long as they don’t share your cognitive dissonance, that is).

    What you say or “believe” doesn’t matter, the definition of “tankie” remains “authoritarian communist”, not “peace-loving friends” or what have you. And tankies love tanks and communism and Stalin.

    What you personally are or are not doesn’t matter, it’s irrelevant.
