Lol Trump

[brandonbull]

The minute difference in what was actually said in each case illustrates and exemplifies my point.

It's a losing battle with Dimocrats. They don't care about important things like a change for the worse in murders. Too busy protesting about him being an idiot because he said "rate" and not "increase in the rate".

 

[momeNt]

Funny, no one else had trouble seeing his point. It was pretty damn obvious to me. Donald Trump is lying again. I see value in pointing out when the POTUS is lying. YMMV

Stating points, is not a foundation for forum discussion. That is MY POINT!

The most appropriate response to the OP, would be "Ok" - as in - yes I acknowledge the point you made, no further discussion required.

Like what is this place? A place to dump articles in this kind of a lazy manner? Or a place to have engaging and highly thoughtful intellectual discussion with some of the best and brightest political minds that the world of Anandtech forums has to offer?

I don't stick around. I have some time to kill occasionally. I might leave and not return for 3-4 days if I feel like it. Why is it important to you?

Not important to me, important to you. Plus, I asked first. <--- Oh yeah, that just happened. I first graded you (to speak on your leaders level. I expect your full support). Now if only we could extend your Tang-God's education, that would be great and likely helpful.

To my point, you've been going after people you brilliantly if not cleverly call stupid and then express how profoundly baffled you are by the depth of their stupidity. The cure, and it's a rather simple one is to not engage them given that it's so troubling to you. Do yourself a solid and stop. I'm sure your forehead would appreciate the break. Don't even get me started on the degree of relief the brick wall will feel.

I'll agree with you here, but will you complain about 0roo0roo's posts the next time he does the same thing?

As far as I know he mainly bumps his one troll post.

 

[Doc Savage Fan]

It seems to me that woofe expressed his understanding of his figurative language here: "I'm not a big fan of Ayn Rand, but I think it's apt here to mention that her theory was that government is more often than not a solution in search of a problem, and specifically that government invents/creates problems then offers itself as the answer. This is generally posed as an argument against "big government" liberalism, but I'll be damned if Trump doesn't exemplify it more than anyone in history." I believe that for liberals generally, the kind of language that Trump uses is fascistic. He is manipulating people's emotions, the kinds of people who do not have liberal brain structures that prevent their thinking from being led astray by fear based word manipulation, but they clearly see it when it's attempted.

You, on the other hand, seem to want to be demanding a strange form of logical correctness, that liberals are supposed to see language that contains figurative notions but is literally and factually wrong as just some neutral thing that he does, for which he should be ignored or given a pass. But he is either manipulating people who do not see the lies or he has also lied to himself and will act based on those false implications.

So in my opinion at least, we have two different mind types to contend with, those who see no great harm is how Trump puts things and those who clearly do. The question, then, that I ask myself, is what is behind these two views. Is it liberals or conservatives that are negatively unconsciously motivated. Are liberals being intolerant and unfair or are conservatives in denial they have elected a mad man or some variations on those themes. As a person who feels more comfortable around rational logical and honest thinkers while trying to see my own natural bias for what it is, I would like to carefully consider where you are coming from and can't do it. All my instincts scream danger when I listen to Trump speak.

We, as human beings, are all manipulated by our emotions by those people who appeal to them...whether you're liberal or conservative. But let's not fool ourselves here by pretending we're being reasonably objective while our emotions are screaming danger over such relatively trivial things as this. It makes one think that perhaps there are indeed significant drawbacks to having underdeveloped amygdala's after all.

It's stunning and pretty funny to see conservatives make excuses for why no one should take Trump's words literally. To do the bidding of a dude who is so clearly conning you into believing his words, essentially, mean whatever he says they mean instead of what objective English and context say they do is, well, just quite amazing to watch and read.

I guess we're going to have to put up with this misinterpreting bullshit. The man speaks at a 10 year old level, but conservatives know what he really means all the time.

The irony here is that many of these people actually perceive themselves as being morally and intellectually superior...which would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking tragic.

Apparently, Obama "lied all the time!" The worst liar ever! liar liar liar! Only Hillary was worse!

As for Trump, well "that's just how he speaks! You're too stupid if you don't understand what he means!"

It is mind-boggling that this is exactly how these dumbshit trumper conservatives operate. I suspect that the few remaining real conservatives are just too embarrassed by everything to even speak up. ...but that just means they are cowards.

You seem to really hate most of the people who inhabit this forum and perceive yourself to be the victim of discrimination by the moderators on a fairly regular basis. Why do you subject yourself to such terrible things?

I don't hate anybody. But I do imagine that the difference between disagreement and hate would be a difficult distinction for you to understand.

Why would you think that? That's a very strange thing to say. Regardless, feel free to replace 'hate' with 'dislike' or whatever other negative adjective you think is appropriate. You clearly think this board is rife with terrible, dishonest people and that the mods are biased against you. Why would you subject yourself to that?

I don't think this board is rife with terrible, dishonest people....and I think the mods here have been relatively fair with me. That said, I do think that you're one of the most dishonest people posting on this board. So I guess your question essentially boils down to why do I subject myself to your nonsense? Good question...I'll think about it.

 

[fskimospy]

Interesting! Let's ask our friend Doc Savage Fan about his opinion of the mods:

That picture has been effectively banned. A few liberals here whined about it and the mods gave them their way. Imagine that! lol

I asked the mods to correct the title yesterday....apparently they're OK with it as it is and don't care that such a blatant lie appears in a thread title. Speaks volumes imo.

Careful, I called him a 'fucking weasel' the other day and got an informal warning. fskimospy has friends here.

Man, it sure looks like this Doc Savage Fan guy is unhappy with the moderation, haha. 😉 I'm sure there are plenty more cases where these came from where he whines about how unfair the mods are.

That said, I do think that you're one of the most dishonest people posting on this board. So I guess your question essentially boils down to why do I subject myself to your nonsense? Good question...I'll think about it.

Well duh, your standard reaction to contrary information or evidence of your own hypocrisy is to accuse everyone else of lying. I probably point it out more than most so as a defense mechanism of sorts you've convinced yourself that I'm some sort of horrible liar. I'm sure it beats looking inward at your own failings, so I don't blame you. I wouldn't want to consider those if I were you either!

You could always ignore him like Trump does to certain media outlets? Learn from you Fuhrer and just ignore facts.

Yes I have been unhappy with the moderation at times...yet I still believe that the mods have been relatively fair with me. This is not in any way mutually exclusive.

That said, you sure do go through a lot of trouble to play your little "gotcha" games with me. I guess I should be flattered at your constant attention rather than being disappointed by such juvenile and inept exhibitions of "logic".

I've known you a long time and there isn't anyone on this board that can hold a candle to you when it comes to false and dishonest framing of partisan issues imo.

If you're paying attention, fskimospy is the one here making up shit and I'm the one correcting him with the facts that he prefers to ignore. Are you really having that much trouble following this? Or is the gibberish quoted above just brain-dead pact instinct kicking in?

A lot of trouble? I searched your name and 'mod'. It took maybe thirty seconds in total.

I'm not aware of anyone who complains about the moderation here more often than you but if you think that pointing out your constant whining about moderation and how it relates to your previous statement is inept then...well...hokay.

I have no doubt you believe this, but like I said that says a lot more about how you handle adversity than it does about how honest I am. Whenever I point out you're wrong about something I know the personal insults and accusations of dishonesty will start flying almost immediately. You can't help yourself.

You falsely implied that I was making contradictory statements by using incredibly twisted logic. You should be embarrassed. Instead you ignore the obvious.

Your right...I can't help myself as I no longer have much tolerance for your shenanigans.

But let's not fool ourselves here by pretending we're being reasonably objective while our emotions are screaming danger over such relatively trivial things as this. It makes one think that perhaps there are indeed significant drawbacks to having underdeveloped amygdala's after all.

According to peer review neurosciences research, and postulated on the anatomical differences in localized brain masses, it is conservatives who actually demonstrate a rejection of reality in favor of an altered delusional reality more than liberals do, and that all of this is theoretically consistent with the known functions of the brain areas in question. It would be inaccurate, therefore to postulate the normal size of the amydalae of people who reason rationally as underdeveloped. To suggest that people with relatively enlarged amygdalae who can't deal with scientific facts would represent denial thinking, is an idea that would only appeal in an alternate reality universe.

You state this as fact as if it were an obvious universal truth but I see it as only true in your universe. Your job isn't to state your opinion about the nature of truth, in my opinion, but to offer some guidance as to how I can see what you see if I don't see it. I can see often times there people who imagine themselves to be morally superior and are not, but my job is to show that as best I can with rational argument. There really wouldn't be any reason for this forum were it not for liberal mines because it would only be I'm right and you're wrong, no I'm right and you're wrong otherwise. It's always the liberals who are doing all the explaining and the conservatives spouting their opinions unvarnished straight from their bigoted, automatomisticly programmed guts.

First "country" on the list: Hong Kong.

Why didn't they list California, or New York?

Yahoo is just the old buzzfeed. No news here.

I didn't read the rest of the thread, but will guess that it's just the latest buckshitter doing his thing. It's simply what conservative minds are limited to, and it works because liberals assume conservatives are better than that.

Your right...I can't help myself as I no longer have much tolerance for your shenanigans.

I can see that what you call made up facts actually look like pretty good facts and that they could still be wrong. I can understand how you could complain about some moderation without feeling you are moderated improperly. I can see that easily, as easily as I can see that past complaining about moderation indicated a dissatisfaction with the moderation here, What then is the harm in patiently explaining the difference and how you see it as you begun to do above. Why does this lead to having little tolerance left? Personally, when I am arguing a case of which I am damn sure I know the facts, I find myself to be more patient. I think that when things hit near home is when we start to feel agitated.

Anyway, if we tie our self valuation to some ideological belief we are doomed to defend it to maintain our falsely based sense of self worth. I say this as somebody who once died to everything precious he believed, It is the detachment of ego from ideas that makes it possible to think rationally in my opinion. I try as hard as I can to consider the things you say because I believe you have integrity.

How does it 'work'? From where I stand he thew a bucket of shit and didn't mind the fan. He didn't mind the gap between the platform and the train and fell on the rails, no? He painted idiot on his forehead. He clearly uses a manner of echo location to navigate his way. He yells 'you're an idiot' and when the echo comes back from the people around he knows where everybody is.
