    Your conclusions about Biden are speculative and poorly supported

    Man, almost like you read them on social media and not a scientific journal…

      Indeed, right? It does not mean I should not speak up for false conclusions. And what are you adding worth anything to this discussion?

        You still dont understand any of this…

        You could have asked questions, and then I could have explained things and even provided sources.

        Instead of doing that, you want everyone to pre-emptively source everything like a scientific journal would do.

        Like, do you this everywhere?

        If someone told you today was Saturday, would start screeching “calendar! Calendar! Calendar!”

        At them until they pulled out a calendar?

        Why should everyone predict what you would require a source for, instead of you just asking for one when you wanted one like literally every single human before you has managed?

        Why are you the special one everyone else has to accommodate?

          What’s the point of just speaking what’s on your mind when there is no or little validity to it? Oh, wait, I guess you just want to be fucking heard and validated on some random shower thoughts with no push back from reality. I’m sorry, I’m making you think.

          Look man, I did not ask for a source. I actually read what you had to say. I did my research to validate my thoughts and concluded what I posted, period.

            Look man, I did not ask for a source.

            Obviously…

            I’m saying that’s how a rational person would have handled this…

            Something like:

            Hey man, im not aware of any of that and couldn’t find anything on a search. Could you elaborate or point me in the right direction?

            Super basic stuff.

              And I did do my due diligence and I fact checked his post and I came to my own conclusions. I had no need to have a discussion with somebody who was obviously erroneous in their assertions. If people want to talk, sure, I can do that. But once somebody attacks me, all bets are off, and that is what happened. OPs reaction to my disagreement was an ad hominum, not the beginning of a constructive discussion or valid critiques on my thinking.

                I have to correct myself and expose my wrongs. I noticed that I was passive aggressive at the end of my original comment, perhaps that angered OP. I said the following at the end of my post. “I stand behind your fight. Lead us, since you know the way. /s”. That was unnecessary. OP did delete their retaliatory comment to me and I did not quote it, maybe that would given me more of a leg to stand on. I may have come off like an asshole. And to the surprise of a lesser asshole, he encountered a bigger asshole, and he backed the fuck up, because he will get fucking rocked.

              I’m not one of those people, you may be. I simply stated that I did not agree with some things. If a discussion was to be had the original poster could have refuted my claims and then said discussion could begin. Instead, he was upset by my comment and chose to belittle me. And I don’t take that shit.

                No you didn’t. You bluntly stated that some things were not true. You then followed it up with a sarcastic comment.

                Instead, he was upset by my comment and chose to belittle me. And I don’t take that shit.

                If you’re not aware that sarcasm is combative in this context, why were you using it? And if you are aware, then surely the intention was to upset?
