six pack of eggs

does this mean 6 individual eggs, or six larger packs of eggs?

because that could be one of the differences here, it’s not uncommon for me to get two 18-packs at once, and someone buying at Costco might be getting a huge pallet of eggs.

At the time I couldn’t be bothered to respond to most of this reply of yours, because your responses were too ignorant to take seriously, but since you’re still arguing about this, and that other moronic post where you complain about devs, someone should tell you that this line you replied with here

Stop trying to speak for everyone and impose your idea of “bad” on people.

is a hilarious example of a total lack of self awareness, as this entire post of yours is trying to speak for others and impose your definition of what a “bad” link is on everyone else.

But keep on being an idiot. You apparently cannot code anything you want done, but feel like your contribution of providing criticism is somehow equal to the work of the devs who actually built the software before you came along. It’s just entitled stupidity to think they work for you or that you’re equal to them in any way.

Not to mention that your arguments regarding fair use and letting archive.org lead the way should flag you as a potential very expensive liability for every instance admin who cannot afford a copyright battle. It’s easy to thumb your nose at potential problems when you’re not actually in charge of or responsible for anything.

Democrats should nominate Adam Kinzinger, just for the lolz.

I’d get the dance team members in on it for vaguely impugning their reputations, because when asked why nothing happened to them, the answer more or less had the implied subtext “that’s fine for them because we expect them to act like hoes, but you’re our hood ornament and should behave better.”

edit: in case anyone is unclear on my position regarding twerking

btw, I’m on a downvote-disabled server, so none of those you’re getting are from me.

fallacy: all paywalled links are bad

I’ll let someone else continue this, I’ve made my argument well enough already.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (6 children)

You just identified the fallacy yourself.

Sometimes a paywalled source is the first to report on something. Calling that link a bad link is nonsense.

90+% of the time, using reader mode will bypass paywalls anyway.

Many people don’t know all the websites to redirect things through without that, so calling their contribution “bad” just because they posted that link isn’t the greatest.

It’s not even like it’s that big an issue, because usually someone else comes along that provides an alt link in the replies, so saying that this is a social failure is also ridiculous, because both were provided between two people.

Also, the notion that you or anyone else is socially filtering non-misinformation news sources from the rest of us, because you don’t see the value in it, or cannot figure out how to bypass the paywall yourself, isn’t all that great either.

edit: it’s also worth pointing out that if some people contributing links happen to be subscribers to a news source, as a subscriber they won’t necessarily know that a certain article is paywalled for everyone else, until they share it and someone who isn’t a subscriber gets the notice.
