I have died on dumber hills than arguing for 1 + 1 = 5.
A couple of classics:
- Limmy’s Show: Whats heavier a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers
- Bodybuilding forum: Full Body Workout Every Other Day?
That full body workout took me days to read the last time. I felt like I was watching an epic soap opera and was trying to track all the characters until I realized that they all just needed to hug and communicate better
It was going so well until they started about the day count, and I already knew it was over. I hope they're doing okay now.

oh my god thanks for linking that, the full body workout thread is truly painful!
Why ARE WE randomly capitalizing CERTAIN WORDS for no APPARENT reason?
MY LIFE OUT OF EVEN 1+1 YOU'RE ENJOY!
YOU’RE absolutely correct, ENJOY.
BECAUSE if we leave too much SPACE between capitalized KEYWORDS they blend TOGETHER, we get BORED and stop reading the SENTENCE
Why does this read like a Trump campaign email/text
I really want to know who entered my info into their system so I can bludgeon them with a rusty chain, there is no opting out lol

It's too bad it's UGLY because you're RIGHT this was much easier to READ
They even capitalised the NUMBERS
Holy SHIT
Typography hell
It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

I've always been like this. Sadly my wife finds controversy at every turn and I get dragged in.
Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.
How do you know? Its not like we are living in this situation right now
I have MAGA family members and it’s not just 1+1=5. It’s a word-vomit tsunami of absolute bullshit. And if you convince them that point 1/367 is not factual, they won’t accept that it disqualifies anything else (including the idea that he never tells lies), and you will have to re-prove that point 1/367 is not factual a few weeks later. It’s exhausting, and I’m fairly sure that is the point (and I’m fairly sure this is also an actual Russian propaganda technique called a “firehose of falsehoods”, regardless of whether it’s being used in that context).
That's when it's time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.
Thats our national issue, democrats care far less about the fascist vomit of the right than they do being polite, "understanding," and "reaching across the aisle."
J6ers tried to overtake the govt, hang em for treason. If their backers violently rise up, take em out too. Problem solved. Instead, dems make excuses for Republicans every day, say they can't do anything about anything, then push a bunch of policies to further snuff out the left instead.
They reach across the aisle because they basically never have control of Congress. Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, and Senate) to pass anything. When they don't have all 3, they have to reach across the aisle to pass anything. So guess how long they've had all 3? They've had it for 4 years of the last 24 years.
And if they didn't reach across, guess what happens. The GOP shuts down the government like they did to Obama.
So what can you do move things left? Give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories in all 3 houses.
Rewarding them for moving further right hasn't worked for decades, but surely it will this time!
There's a reason they cant pull the votes to get all 3, turns out the people voting for Republicans aren't going to switch parties cause dems chase after them year after year abandoning anyone left of mid right establishment dems.

Democratic politicians feel this way because they are mostly friends with their colleagues across the aisle. They all eat at the same luncheons together, hang out at the same establishments in DC, attend the same fundraisers and lobbying events.
I think the voters tend to have a different point of view from those in DC. Consider that even Republican lawmakers were running for their life on Jan6. Dem voters are growing fatigued with the constant gaslighting from the establishment politicians, and hopefully soon might provide cause for their “elected representatives” to flee as well. At this point we’ve been left with painfully few alternatives.
Lastly just want to say I do agree with full treason charges for anyone involved with Jan6. Obstruction was a laughable wrist slap, this is far too serious for such measures. The rioters kind of had the right idea but for literally all of the wrong reasons. It’s tea party republicans all over again (which was funded by Koch bros of course). Instead of addressing this in a serious manner, Dems considered doing nothing at all for 2 years before they finally started bringing the wrong charges. Pathetic.

Sometimes I just agree with people so they can stop talking.

True
But 1+1 is 5. I'm sick and tried of people pretending 1+1=1. The sum is always bigger than each of their addends. How do people not get that
Are you Terrance Howard?
Many such cases.
In a real job you suffer the consequences of letting something stupid happen.
Right, so there's very few middle management or C Suite jobs, got it.
Only the stupidity that affects your work directly.
Yes and no. Sometimes letting someone be stupid means they're quickly replaced by someone hopefully less stupid.

Pff, past jobs I've been at, you got written up for not doing the stupid thing(policy related, nothing that would put you in actual danger).

Wait that 5 is a float and hasn't been declared!
Someone is surely gonna use it later
This may explain why everyone likes him
I really like this and will embrace it going forward. I have nothing to gain by engaging with nonsense.
He’d get along well with Terrance Howard.
That's probably not a bad approach in general, but sometimes shit matters.
