COMPREHENSION, kid. "NO ONE" is buying it.

That is not a comprehension issue. That is me ignoring your lies.

Should we take a poll?
In the meantime, go toe-to-toe with Jimi on your misunderstanding of the words "ironic" and "tautology".
I could use a laugh.
Or have the multiple discussions of "ironic" just been your ploy all along to "trigger" me? HAHAHAHA

Rob I have been triggering you since last night. Do you remember me listing the post number? That is when I posted that in my sig when I decided to trigger you. You are easy.

What is Irony?

Quick Reminder of What Irony Is

Irony is a rhetorical device in which the appearance of something is opposite to its reality.


There are four main types of irony: verbal irony, dramatic irony, situational irony, and Socratic irony. Socratic irony is not a literary device, and therefore we will not be looking at examples, but it is worth being aware of.

• Verbal Irony is when a speaker says one thing but means something entirely different. The literal meaning is at odds with the intended meaning.
• Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something that the characters don’t.
• Situational Irony is when what happens is the opposite of what you expect.
• Socratic Irony is when a person feigns ignorance in order to get another to admit to knowing or doing something. It is named after Socrates, the Greek philosopher, who used this technique to tease information out of his students.

Tell me guys, which version are you using?

Again, no one is falling for it, kid. You have demonstrated far too many times that you are not bright enough to pull off even the simplest of "scams" like that.

Too many times you have tried to backpedal on your mistakes and claimed you were being "metaphorical" (incorrect use of the word) or "humorous" (by saying nothing that could remotely be seen as funny) or "trying to trigger" someone.
The list of errors is far too long and makes you look far to dumb to be intentional.

Unless your goal all along was to appear not to know? I guess that's possible.

Oft times in your case, it's this one:

• Situational Irony is when what happens is the opposite of what you expect.

For example, you cry that no one is having conversation with you, but when someone tries to have a conversation with you, you refuse.
Or this one: You claim to be an expert in biology, then refuse to accept medical fact that has been know for over a century. Then you double-down and claim the facts weren't know when you were is school.
Or this one: You complain about the rising cost of gas, but then claim that historical gas prices have no place in the discussion of rising costs.

Given your opener on all three, one would not expect the closer that you provide. it is the "opposite of what you expect".

Listen to you. Not bright enough because YOU say so. Backpedaling because YOU say so. Seems to be a common thread here........ you huge ego.

What is actually ironic is the FACT that I have done none of that.

Before you spend all day trying to prove me wrong just stop.

I don't "cry" when you don't have a conversation. *******.
I never, not once, "claimed" to be an "expert" in biology. *******.
I didn't "complain" about the rising cost of gas and then claim historical prices have no place. *******.

If you paid attention in the least instead of being an ******* you might catch on.

Awww, did I trigger you again?
I sure can post proof of what I say about you.

1. You have cried about conversation plenty, and have done it recently, in fact. Would you prefer I said you "whine" about it?
2. You VERY specifically suggested there is no difference between you with your degree and professionals who have been in the field for years. To paraphrase: "what makes them any more an expert than ME?"
3. You have complained about the rising cost of gas more times than I can remember. When I talked about real pricing, you very clearly said historical prices have NOTHING to do with what you pay today.

You memory is not that good. If you want to challenge me on mine, I can find your posts and share them.

Glad you again, refuse to pay attention. *******. Do you remember why I call you names? Probably not. You are after all, stupid.

Conversation #4 Rob is still arguing.

 

[Jimi77 Premium Member]

Neither one of you understand.

If it is MY vote, it can't be wrong. It's not up to anyone to tell ME that MY vote is wrong no matter the reason I choose to make that vote. My vote doesn't have to be approved by you or Rob to be correct.

It could be wrong - see Gore/hanging chads.

I didn't say anybody need to approve and endorse your vote. I gave a clear example of a "wrong" vote and it didn't involve anybody approving anything. Here is less hypothetical examples, I voted to legalize MMJ in Colorado. Now that there 3 pot shops walking distance from house, domicile and the schools my children attend for education. I'm not so thrilled with that vote. I'm sure there are Dems out there thinking, "man I should have voted for anybody but Bumbling Biden in the primaries." People make wrongly incorrect decisions (including votes) all the time and merely because it was your vote or your decision doesn't make it a correct infallible choice.

The problem with my idea of what is a "wrong" vote is that I think people should vote based on facts; IOW they should make a well informed educated decision. Clearly the majority of people vote based on emotional feelings and maybe 1/2 the facts at best.

Now you are shifting the original topic even further away so you can still be correct in your argument. Have fun with that.

Conversation #4 Rob is still arguing.

Look at you getting all triggered and going ad hominem yet again.
The problem kid, is that I am damn GOOD at paying attention, and I have a damn good memory.
Let's test it:

THXONE ON CONVERSATION
"Put your playbook down and have a conversation already"
"So when you "Post Facts" how does that open things up for a conversation?"
"You'd rather be triggered and be an ******* than have a conversation."

THXONE ON HIS EXPERTISE IN BIOLOGY (during a COVID discussion)
"If I have a degree and another person has the same degree. What makes that other person more of an expert than me in the field that the same degree was earned?"
"What makes them any more of an expert than me? They went to college and got degrees, so did I. I am sure we have learned many of the same things... so why am I different?"

THXONE ON NOMINAL GAS PRICES AND REAL PRICING
"yet half the country votes Democrat. Higher taxes, more restrictions, overpriced healthcare, and let's not forget that our gas prices are going to shoot up to and over $3 a gallon, electricity will jump up in price as well"
"Not really relevant as the past prices can't be undone and neither can the events."
"Not energy independent, higher national debt, higher fuel and gas prices. Yeah, smart choice."
"No shiit, as soon as Biden went into the White House, gas prices went up. First hitting $2.00 for 87 then climbing higher since."
"Well let's see, when the price of gas has no problem being under $2 a gallon under one president and the just because a dipshit is elected we get to pay..."
"We are not paying prices in any other time period than now. What we are paying currently is all that is relevant. "

OK. now you can tell us how these are all made up and taken "out of context" in your effort to make them go away or make then untrue.

He is speaking DIRECTLY to your question about whether a vote can be wrong or not. He is explaining it and even using real-world examples for you.

Are you so wrapped up in your own beliefs that you can't allow ANY facts whatsoever to penetrate your skull and cause a few synapses to fire?
Seriously kid, the denial and redirects make you seem like an utter moron.

Are you capable of admitting mistakes, or do you really think you have never made one?
