was shopping earlier today, overheard a customer talking to an employee about "we'll do [idk what..] with the unvaccinated", both laughing.

shit is turning ugly quick and people don't even see it. it's amazing and frightening to watch.

i'm near the point of "fingers crossed for omicron hitting the vaccinated hard" to have the bullshit stop. maybe ADE is real after all.

sucks if people get ill of course, but if this general mood in the population continues we'll have good old lynchings next xmas :/

@bonifartius if you have the guts, go talk to those people and figure out what's up. Otherwise your "omg I crawled out of my cave and barely heard a voice for the first time in years and I'm scared" alarmist BS doesn't do anything but add fuel to whatever fires might or might not be burning. People lost close friends and family to this pandemic and you are here now wishing and praying "it hits them hard again". "awww it sucks for you, but I hope it happens again so you learn your lesson"(which is what exactly by the way? you tried you failed haha!), what a freaking hero!

@namark @bonifartius
>People lost close friends and family to this pandemic
No they didn't.

@Eris thanks for enlightening us, point being? "I decree that nobody died last time, and I hope they die next time?" Or are you just jerking a knee.

@bonifartius

@namark @bonifartius No matter how many times you repeat the same lie, we will never pretend it's true along with you.

@Eris can you even read? I just accepted your premise in the last message... please read...

@bonifartius

@AR-15 oh no! did I break your heart by appearing dishonest my dear?

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius Yes, it is a sad and tragic thing for a person to lie to themselves. It fills us with sorrow for your soul. We expect better from you.

@Eris I'm so sorry I'm so broken, to be able to accept one's premise in an argument is a horrible mental illness I know. Thank you for your concern.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
You condescendingly used a strawman version of my premise to argue against me.
That is not accepting the premise, it is rejecting it with extra steps.

@Eris @AR-15 I didn't argue with you, I accepted your premise and simply ask you for your point in context of the OP and my reply, and you kept on going pretending that I said something I didn't say, arguing with something you imagined to yourself.

@bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
Here's a hint: If you do not agree with a premise, you do not accept it.
Do you agree or disagree? Choose one, they are mutually exclusive.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius "yeah yeah yeah whatever, what's your point even?" Is very different from "You know what, you're probably right." If you meant the latter and not the former, apologize and clarify. We're not as retarded as you think we are.

@AR-15 I don't care to be nice yo you, I'm sorry again if I heart your feelings, you can block me or mute me or whatever

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I don't want you to be nice to me. I want you to be mean and aggressive to my face and not behind a fake-polite facade like you are now. Call me a nigger. Do it.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius I am begging you to be direct, not nice. You've spent a whole hour trying to gaslight Eris and me in a way that clearly shows you think we're retarded. That's not nice and you're not trying to be nice. Pretending you are is gaslighting us about being gaslit and now we're on 2 levels of meta.

Argue your point. Stop arguing about whether or not you're arguing. This is just silly.

@AR-15 If you want to see my argument it's in my reply to OP, and in my first reply to Eris. Past that it's Eris pretending that I'm arguing something I'm not arguing.

@Eris

@bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I re-read your reply. Your argument is literally "yeah yeah yeah whatever, what's your point? BTW I'm not arguing with you :)"

What is it that you are arguing then? Because you seem to think we're retarded and you clearly don't like us. I'm begging you, please say "my point is: ___." Stop doing this meta abstraction bullshit. It just makes you sound like you're hoping you'll make yourself sound smart (you're not) and confuse us into saying you were right, and it sounds like you're doubling down because you really don't want to have an actual argument, you just want to jelq your midwit IQ.

@AR-15 Here is a direct quotr from my reply to OP
> People lost close friends and family to this pandemic and

the thorn in all of your sides, that will torment you till the end of days... not let me blow your minds... simply remove it (the exactly text I pasted here) from my reply... the point still stands... if you can't see it all I can tell you is "learn to read", I'm sorry again for hurting your feelings

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

"Here is a vague allusion to what my point is and a condescending comment about how you are insufficiently smart to read my mind, rather than just a clear unambiguous statement of my position"
Stop doing this.

@Eris I wrote it down... do you want me to copy paste it here or something?

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>do you want me to copy paste it here or something?
I want you to type a single sentence that clearly tells me what the fuck you are trying to say.

@Eris I did it in my first reply, and now also clarified that the thing you are so hung up on, is so inconsequential to it that you can literally remove it, can you do a basic edit, and re read it? Or will you keep playing dumb forever?
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius >I clarified my point

You never did

>you have to edit my words to find out what I meant because I'm not going to tell you!

Ok

@AR-15 I asked yo edit the part that you are hung up on to demonstrate how inconsequential it is, to the main point. I wrote what I mean, if you are too lazy to scroll up I'll link.
@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I am hung up on your entire reply. I did exactly what you asked. I'm not too lazy to scroll up. I'm just clearly too dumb to follow your dizzying intellect. How do you think I got this screenshot? BTW what's your second favorite flavor?

@AR-15 If there is absolutely nothing you can latch on to to ask a question or present an argument, I can't help you. If you ask me to write the same thing again I'll write it the same way.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I'm asking you to write the same thing in a different way because it didn't make sense to me the first time.

@AR-15 Which part didn't make sense to you? There was a non trivial amount. @Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius Is there a pandemic or is there not? You said there was, now you keep saying you agreed that there wasn't and that people aren't dying to it.

@AR-15 I'm said many times that for the purpose of this discussion you may assume that I think there is no pandemic. This is part of me trying to explain to you the original point. But you are not willing to try to understand the original point. All you want is for me to say what you want me to say and argue with you about what you want me to argue with you about. And i couldn't care less about that particular thing.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @Eris @bonifartius But you haven't tried to explain anything! You've just tried to confuse me and only succeeded in confusing yourself. Sad!

And yes, I want you to argue with me about what you came here to argue about. I don't want you to argue about whether or not you are arguing or whether your arguments are arguments.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius If by "I couldn't care less about that particular thing" you mean "I don't care about whether there is a pandemic or not" then what is your purpose here?
Follow

@AR-15 in this particular case initially to roast bonafartius on particular things he wrote, which you are completely ignoring in favor of your own agenda, but then also to repeatedly point out how Eris and you just can't read, and are hell bent on arguing with an imaginary opponent that you want me to play the role of. Unfortunately my life does not revolve around the pandemic or any other drama that in one way or the other is relevant to you in this context, so I can't satiate your desires.
@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>in this particular case initially to roast bonafartius on particular things he wrote, which you are completely ignoring in favor of your own agenda,
My agenda is to point out how disingenuous and psychotic that "roast" is.
>ut then also to repeatedly point out how Eris and you just can't read,
That's not pointing something out. That's alleging something. Pointing it out would be showing us what we can't read, and demonstrating that we didn't read it.
>Unfortunately my life does not revolve around the pandemic or any other drama that in one way or the other is relevant to you in this context, so I can't satiate your desires.
Does it have to in order for you to answer a simple question when you are replying anyway? Why? Weird standard.

@Eris

>That's not pointing something out. That's alleging something. Pointing it out would be showing us what we can't read, and demonstrating that we didn't read it.

I pointed it out multiple times, in a lot of detail.

>Does it have to in order for you to answer a simple question when you are replying anyway? Why? Weird standard.

I answered the question multiple times in multiple ways as well, but it would never satisfy you unless I match your zeal, and play your game.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>I pointed it out multiple times, in a lot of detail.
No you just keep saying "I pointed it out" without ever doing so.
>I answered the question multiple times in multiple ways as well, but it would never satisfy you unless I match your zeal, and play your game.
I will tell you when you have answered it.

@Eris
>I will tell you when you have answered it
exactly my point

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>exactly my point
Your point is that I want you to clarify yourself to me?
Good, that is also my point.

@Eris no that you will never be satisfied unless I say what you want me to say, your friend AR-15 has even clarified what exactly you want me to say, and that nothing else will satisfy you

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>that you will never be satisfied unless I say what you want me to say,
...Yes? That's how being satisfied works?

@Eris So you want me to just role play someone I'm not and not to say what I think, glad we established that. I will not though.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

"What is in the cabinet?"
"The thing in the cabinet."
"Yes, but what is it?"
"The thing in the cabinet."

@Eris It is written can you not read? If you can tell me what exactly is confusing to you, minding the edit that I suggested to clarify my point.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>It is written can you not read?
No, I am not able to read what you wrote and divine what is in your head. You are a dumb person and you wrote it poorly.
Please write it again, in a new way.
This is called "Rephrasing yourself."
When you reach highschool you will do this a lot.

@Eris help me rephrase the part that confuses you. If not a single word made sense to you, then I can't help you.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>. If not a single word made sense to you, then I can't help you.
This if/then statement is actually not true.
Write the whole thing, tell me your point from scratch. It's not hard.

@Eris the point was a reply to the OP, I have to retell the whole story? Again put some effort into it yourself, then maybe I'll match it.

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>the point was a reply to the OP
"The point of my post was a post
What was the substance of your reply?
> I have to retell the whole story
Yes, and you've asked this question 5 billion times instead of just retelling the whole story. It would cost you less time and effort to retell the whole story.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius Yes, you have to retell it because you told it poorly.

@AR-15 @Eris again which part did you not understand? Half the story is not mine, half of it is the OP, which I doubt either of you read.

@bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> again which part did you not understand?
The part where you are "roasting" OP for something based on lies that you say you know are lies.

@Eris how can it be based on something, that I said you can safely remove, because it was extraneous?

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> that I said you can safely remove, because it was extraneous?
It's not extraneous, it's fundamental.
If there is no pandemic, then you are bullying a girl for acting as though there is no pandemic.
With or without this premise = you are good or you are evil.
It's pretty essential.

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I am giving you every opportunity to convince me OP is wrong and you are right. It should not be my job to convince to to convince me.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>So you want me to just role play someone I'm not and not to say what I think
No, the exact opposite of that.
What we want, what will satisfy us, is if you say what you think.
We are dying to know.

@Eris I told it multiple times, that for the purposes of this conversation I accepted your premise, and otherwise I couldn't care less, but you will never be satisfied, unless I say exactly what you want to hear, almost word per word.
@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> that for the purposes of this conversation I accepted your premise, and otherwise I couldn't care less,
That's not an answer, it's two excuses not to give one.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

I don't care if you care. Answer it anyway. It would cost you less than spending 5 hours arguing about how you don't have to.
@namark @Eris @bonifartius You didn't accept his premise though and if you did, that would make no sense! If you accept that there is no pandemic then you should apologize to OP for "roasting" him for making this exact assertion.
@AR-15 @bonifartius @namark

Exactly. Choose one or the other. How can you accept my premise? That makes you an unapologetic cunt? Why would you accept that premise?
@Eris @AR-15 @bonifartius @namark
you've been arguing for nearly a quarter of a day. let it rest
@namark @Eris @bonifartius Just stop being a nigger and tell us what you actually mean instead of pretending neither of us knows what the other is talking about.

@AR-15 no my point stands, even if pandemic does not exist, read it again with the edit I suggested, if there is something in particular you don't understand, ask.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

>even if pandemic does not exist, read it again with the edit I suggested, if there is something in particular you don't understand, ask.
If the pandemic does not exist (it doesn't) then your post is the post of a condescending cunt who is engaging in a struggle session. If the pandemic does not exist (it doesn't) you are evil. You are evil.
If there is something in particular you don't understand, ask.

@Eris you did not address anything particular from the my reply, but sure keep asserting your truth and pray for it to magically manifests itself

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
> you did not address anything particular from the my reply,
Yes because my problem is with the premise of your question, that there is a pandemic.

@Eris there is no such premise in my question. there is such premise in the OP, that is not my premise, and m argument does not rest on it

@AR-15 @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
>there is no such premise in my question
Yes, there is.
> there is such premise in the OP,
No, there isn't.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

I cannot read what you wrote and tell what you meant by it, that is correct. Do you remember when you said this 5 minutes ago and I said the same thing?
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

> and m argument does not rest on it
I still don't know what that alleged argument is.

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I'm really confused. Do you just personally dislike the OP then? In my understanding it seemed like they said "vaccinated people are crazy and bloodthirsty against unvaccinated" and you responded "unvaccinated people are malicious and deserve it." Yet now you're saying there is no pandemic. If there is no pandemic then why would vaccination status matter? If you can't die from COVID then why be vaccinated against it? Your argument as I perceive it makes no sense unless you are just a pedantic fucktard or a pharma CEO.

Please clarify your argument. Is my perception of it wrong, yes or no? If I'm wrong, then what is your argument?

@AR-15 ever tried looking past dichotomy? He said he barely overheard some people saying "dunno what" about unvaxinated, and that he is freaking terrified of that. I told him to not be a pussy and next time go talk to them and figure out what they were about, instead of running home and posting paranoid crap over that particular incident. I don't care about overarching narrative of pro or anti pandemic BS you have going on here, and can't look past.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

Holy shit you actually did it. It only took you 5 hours.

You told a person not to be a pussy when they heard people openly describing their genocide in public.
Yeah, you are evil.

@namark @Eris @bonifartius holy shit LOL, do you even understand how fucking insane it is to instruct someone to go up to people and ask them what they mean when you just spent 5 hours giving non answers to that same question? You're way worse than I thought. Legitimately evil.

@namark @Eris @bonifartius I have been asking! Nigger! The whole crux of your argument against OP seems to hinge on whether people have lost family and friends to the pandemic. You said you accept that no one has died to it. If this is true then there is no pandemic and you're delusional for believing there is one, and you owe OP an apology.

@AR-15 How can that be when I literally told you that if you remove that from that sentence argument the argument still stands. Read it again with the edit, and tell me which part exactly did not make sense to you. If that's too hard for you then rephrasing is too hard for me.

@Eris @bonifartius

@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

> How can that be when I literally told you that if you remove that from that sentence argument the argument still stands
Telling us that is obviously absurd.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius

We can read the sentences you wrote, and see that they depend on the pandemic being true. We can see it with our eyes. Telling us "no that's not true" just tells us you are a liar.
@namark @AR-15 @bonifartius
