I'm not reading

You could have stopped there. Why comment if you're going to get so bent out of shape about simple questions that you resort to projection and deflection?

Perhaps you should be looking in a mirror when you throw around claims like engaging in a strawman and being aggressive.

Perhaps don't put words in people's mouths and write dissertations about it? The lengths of our replies should be evidence enough that one party is trying to force an argument and the other simply isn't interested.

Please move on and have a good day!

Is your idea for a written and practical test every 10 years supported by any data or is it arbitrary?

Deflection is a defense mechanism characterized by redirecting a conversation away from a challenging topic or issue to something less emotionally charged. It can manifest in various ways, such as changing the subject, asking a question, making a joke, or even becoming defensive or aggressive.

Buddy, you may be an expert in vehicular regulations but I sure hope you don't think you're expert in picking up on social cues.

I will be blunt and leave no room for doubt here - I am not interested in debating this topic nor am I interested in debating anything with you in particular.

Imagine being in a casual conversation in real life and having some random guy walk up and start ranting about a point you weren't making. You're confused but acknowledge their presence out of courtesy. Then they drop another essay on you and this time they're insisting you defend the point.

That's you in this thread. You're that annoying guy.

Please go make some friends. Your smarter-than-thou attitude is absolutely insufferable.

I'm not going to read your essay.

I'll just assume it's arbitrary and pulled out of your ass since you keep deflecting instead of answering questions.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You still think you somehow deserve an answer lol

Don't stew over this too long, lil bro. It's not healthy.

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I know the answer now, it's an arbitrary idea you pulled from nowhere.

I thought a short response was what you wanted but it seems you just don't want to overtly state your premise is arbitrary.

I do have another question. Is your ego so fragile that you have to accuse others of the things you do when questioned?

You accused me of a strawman and then engaged in it yourself. You accused me of being aggressive for asking questions to understand what reasoning you used to arrive at your premise but then engaged in personal attacks. You repeatedly engaged in deflection. You might want to work on your mental maturity.

I'd fully support your idea if it was practical and data supported at all but it's clearly not. Pointing that out seems to upset you.

The joke is on me for assuming you actually had sound reasoning based on information that would be new to me rather than just your feelings.

Lil bro still out here arguing. If your goal was to get blocked, I guess you win!

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Guess I won't have to see any of your unsupported, emotional nonsense in my feed.
