I DONT CARE

ooh i see so it doesnt fall under formal logic. interesting! honestly that makes me feel even more strongly against it lol. but still more than anything it comes down to rationalizing an irrational process – after all even speaking the language of faulty logic is a way of turning things into logic!

yea i didnt specify it in my own answer but i think egocentric bias is a good fit. however even that expression does not inherently convey the hostility that OP is experiencing!

It’s just a broad umbrella concept in formal logic. what makes you think this interaction is best described by logic and not psychological or social dynamics? it’s not like the fuckin dude is publishing a research paper. op has someone busting their aglets and wants to find words to describe the experience. what makes you think their chief complaint is the same concept that can describe the statement “all cats are black”

Why do we need to nounify it? It doesn’t need to be a special concept. Find the words for what they’re doing and describe it.

It sounds like they’re invalidating your experiences and struggling to recognize perspectives outside their own.

I guess if you really want to nominalize it, call it “hand-waving”. oh that doesn’t count. just anything but “anecdotal evidence” because I beg you please do not try to communicate your own subjective emotional experiences by using haughty, dry logic 101 vocabulary.

why? because it’s the fastest way to get lost in the bullshit of “is it or isnt it?!” and completely lose the conversation from focusing on how this person is treating you.

Using anecdotal evidence is not inherently abusive… this shitty behavior is

it’s a fucking stupid answer. that’s not what anecdotal evidence means at all

it’s gaslighting. yep Definitely gaslighting. I totally know what gaslighting means and everything I don’t like is gaslighting

or maybe it’s woke. tell them to stop gaslighting you with their woke comments

/bj

why do they hate us?!

man I’m on fiber now at the ols address, it’s so nice to have 400Mbps uploads. wish this isp served a little bit more broadly

yeah i never even heard of these! they weren’t even presented as options until i did some digging. yay. prob gonna do brightspeed cuz glofiber website is ass lol

Damn, it seems they only have 5G available.

Guess I’m doing Xfinity! yay… i really enjoyed having a choice of ISP in my old address. it’s really gonna fucking suck going back to random power outages with no explanation and constant disconnects.

Xfinity, because fuck you!

because they’re gay and weird or christian and dumb

the existence of GNC people undermines the thin facade of identity that people construct based on their assigned gender roles. they lash out against internal discomfort

bought house 😱😱😱 ikr wtf

that’s wild, what region?

I’m sorry, what? I have no idea who Drag is. Wait, are you referring to yourself in the third person?

I dont know who drag is. Also, I don’t really care who drag is.

If creating new life and welcoming a new person into your world is “mundane”, or exploring new corners of this tiny world that we are confined to is not interesting to you, then you really gotta tell me about the mind-blowing stuff you’re doing every day that takes precedence.

For a real friend? Absolutely! I’ll hunt them down. For a coworker or loose acquaintance? I care a little less, but it’s still nice to see occasional baby photos and vacation pics.

I can’t believe people would fake politeness about this! No wonder we’re all so damn lonely. If you really don’t care, why not just say that those things bore you? It would probably make for deeper connections with everyone involved. You wouldn’t have to waste your time with them, and they wouldn’t waste their time with you!

in Korea businesses say 25 hours to mean 24/7

Serendipity, a stroke of fortune! Great word.
