A tautology isn't a reason. A reason is a reason. Just like how arbitrary things are arbitrary and how numbers have inherent value.
You've made several claims. Then when I point out the moronic bullshit you've said you equivocate, despite having a room-temp IQ and everyone seeing how wrong you are. It's hilarious.
Yes, you're "now wondering if it was a video series". Sure you are. As if you didn't know that you don't read books. You're not only stupid as fuck, you're also the worst liar I've seen in years.
One of the reasons Americans are mocked is because they try claiming things which everyone can see are incorrect.
Like I said, it's like watching an excited toddler playing kitchen.
No, you didn't "misspeak", you're just a very shitty liar.
Having a hard time understanding this sentence?
I speak a dozen languages, but you don't even speak one, so the communication issue isn't due to a lack of MY ability. ;>
You're wrong and a moron. Several times over. Run and cry I don't care, it won't change the facts.
Ooh! You did actually read my point, yes! Very good! That's exactly what I was saying.
Point out, yes. Not prove. You aren't actually making any claims or providing any proof, you're just...saying stuff.
Feel free to actually say anything that isn't an insult at any time. This bad-faith tactic is frankly getting boring.
Of course you believe in that nonsense.
Pretty easy when I'm not lying.
Actually, you're really starting to sound like Trump himself with statements like that. ", many people are saying. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it." Might want to check your skin for any hint of orange spray-tan, that stuff's insidious.
You really only have the one joke? Come on, dude, this was so much fun at the beginning. You peaked too early if this is all you're coming at me with.
It's always evidence of the smartest people when they have to insist on how smart they are.
Citation needed.
Could be!
Why would I cry? Because of the facts? You haven't presented any yet.
The dictionary definition of arbitrary is proof when you're having a tantrum saying it means whatever you came up with and that "all systems are arbitrary".
Equivocate all you want, you're just a very low intelligence American trying desperately to back out of having said a stupid thing. You'd be looked as way less stupid if you just admit you misused "arbitrary". Among other things.
Because you "love" admitting to mistakes you make to learn new things, don't you?
You claim time-keeping systems are arbitrary with the amount of hours they have. That is WRONG.
You'll just keep ignoring all your mistakes, because your immature ego makes you pretend you're infallible. Every projection you make is just an admittance of what you do. A bad faith tactic indeed, you can't answer anything I ask and skip all the mistakes you make.
And you think it isn't painfully obvious. Like I said, like watching a kid play kitchen.
K. 👍
Bored now. See ya.
You crawl back into a thread a week later to say "k bye" without being able to address anything you've said, to tell me you're bored?
Lol.
You should've left it well alone. Now you just seem extra mad for being called out on a mistake(s) you're now ignoring
K. 👍
I love it when people like you can't accept that they're such sore losers that they'll just default to spamming a single letter/word/oneliner so as to "get the last word", while not being able to address anything said in the thread, because everything so clearly shows how wrong they are.
So you literally can't help yourself, despite every comment just showing everyone how right I am and how pathetic you are.
K. 👍
I've seen this "tactic" hundreds of times.
How long are you gonna spam replies without actually replying anything? The longest back and forth like this I've had is literally months.
Only thing is, it's gonna make you look even sillier.
K. 👍
I honestly didn't have to check and see if this was a copy/paste of your previous comment.
Get it? Because you said "I honestly had to check..." Yes, we all know you have a terrible memory, from you writing a reply by writing one of my lines, then one of yours, then one of mine.
All while refusing to touch on what "arbitrary" means and why time-keeping systems aren't arbitrary. They're pretty much the exact opposite. Hell "like clock-work" and other such expressions have pretty much the exact opposite meaning to "arbitrary." :D
K. 👍
(whoa, I haven't been reading any of your responses, but this one is longer than usual. You must be getting mad, eh?) (don't bother replying, I'm not reading it)
I know you have memory issues, but like a week ago when you were lying about "having read a book about timekeeping", I told you what a horrible liar you are.
You haven't gotten any better.
You're just seething that you were wrong. That's why you have to keep spamming. Because you're seething that I am right and you are wrong and timekeeping systems are most definitely not arbitrary.
K. 👍
Yeah, you don't seem mad at all, spamming "k" like a tweener.
Must be really maddening to have someone teach you how to use your native language, huh?
Must feel completely arbitrary. That's what the word means right? Whatever I want it to? Oh no, right, no, that's not how words work.
K. 👍
You're basically refusing to take an L that you've already taken. Yeah, it's a cringe expression. So is "cringe", but times evolve.
As I said, you've already "lost". You can't address the topic, but yet your ego keeps forcing you to come back and reply. I've been in threads like these for months. The thing is, I can say whatever and address anything said in the thread, while you can't.
What’s the definition of “arbitrary” and why do you think timekeeping systems are arbitrary?
K. 👍
I don't want to come off as bullying, but I think it'll benefit from you if you learn to handle situations like this. So I'm gonna keep replying. Sorry.
What's "arbitrary" mean?
K. 👍
The great part is you can't say anything, showing you're only here because of your ego, despite having literally nothing to say, while I keep giving you options and urging you to just accept growth. You know, since you "love admitting when you're wrong"?
K. 👍
Dig your pit deeper.
Remember how you said you "love being proved wrong"?
Well timekeeping systems aren't arbitrary. Care to comment? No...? ;>
Dang. I actually read this one. Broke my whole streak because I wasn't paying attention.
I do love being proved wrong! But you haven't provided any evidence, or even so much as a single claim. Only insults.
Anyway, since I broke my streak, I'm just gonna ghost this conversation. Peace!
Correction, I managed to shame you into actually writing something instead of that childish spam.
You still can't address why you're in the thread to begin with. The proof that I am right is in you spamming "k" for a dozen comments because you can't discuss the definition of "arbitrary" because you realise your previous statements weren't correct. And you're just not big enough of a person to admit that to yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
