Winter is defined as the cold season, meaning snow, shorter days.

If you say you like the winter but you dislike the cold and the snow, then what would you call that?

You keep arguing as if I am the one who defined what winter is. I obviously didn’t. So when you make the claim that “I” somehow define what winter is, I’m frankly at a loss of what to say other than that you don’t understand what words mean.

But i suppose anything is winter if you do it during the winter.

Your position would require omnipotence on your part to be valid, yet you claim to be able to determine the presence of hypocrisy based on factors that have no obligation to correlate with the conclusion you are claiming is obvious.

No, my point explains itself. You on the other hand require whole paragraphs to try to convince yourself that whatever you think is true, is. Do you not understand the word “lie”? Do you not know what the word “hypocrisy” means?

In that case I can understand how you would need to paraphrase YOURSELF. Even your own argument against me, claiming that I’M claiming to be the omnipotent one falls on the fact that you only care about your own arguments, making you, dare I say, a hypocrite?

So being correct is a popularity contest? Really?

Why does that lead to liking winter?

I can tell that you lack reading comprehension, go back and read it again.

Liking a time of year does not require engaging in “exclusive” activities to “prove” it.

What a pointless argument then. Why do you bother arguing about liking seasons or not, if you don’t care about the characteristics of a season?

Does that make me a liar if I claim to like summer?

Well, either you are lying to yourself or to me. But what do I know about you.

You can’t do it at another time of year. Now i think you’re the one being dense.

The activity is the only relevant part. If I like to ice fish, I’m only gonna be able to do that during the winter. Therefore I like the winter, because it enables me to do the activity that i like.

Nothing about the winter enables you in particular to sit with cocoa and a heated blanket. Other than the fact that you like to sit under blankets with cocoa.

But their activity doesn’t depend on winter. Thats the point.

It’s not about the blanket though is it?

If you say you like the winter, but you don’t like the winter, what would you call it other than hypocrisy?

I could say the same about you.

Not really no. We have district heating, plus my computer runs quite often. I have the same cover/bedding year around. That and we have properly isolated houses, since it does get cold outside. It does backfire a bit during summer though. Especially nowadays. Most people install air conditioners now, which was unheard of 20 years ago.

Saying they like something that they don’t actually like, does.

It doesn’t rally have anything to do with the winter, so yeah, kinda is. Unless you’re outside first, then coming in for that cozy feeling, them why would it matter if it was winter or not?

If you say so. Sounds pretty accurate if you ask me. But then again, i really do like the winter and being outside.

Calling people out for hypocrisy is proper behaviour.

I’m all for testing 6 hour work days.

But the fantasy of universal income is too farfetched. Who will produce the food? Are we to collectively agree that we take turns on producing the food? I sure as hell don’t want that, and there lies the core issue. How do you force people to do things that they don’t want to do?

Lol, these downvotes. Explain the system instead. How do you propose to force people?

Uhm. Most animals live by the grace of chance and circumstance. Barely getting enough to sustain life.

I think I understand what you’re trying to say, but you can’t seriously think that pre-industrial age people were sitting around and doing nothing? Post-industrial age came with an explosion of people to match the new amount of resources. If we don’t produce the resources then people die.

Do you want a simpler life or an easier life? Those are two very different things.
