  1. Sorry kiddo - but there is no evidence there that he's talking about online discussions and there's no evidence it was said AFTER the time that sealioning became a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning Internet trolls sometimes engage in what is called 'sealioning'. They demand that you keep arguing with them for as long they want you to, even long after you realize that further discussion is pointless. If you announce that you want to stop, they accuse you of being closed-minded or opposed to reason. The practice is obnoxious. Reason should not be silenced, but it needs to take a vacation sometimes. — Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Think Again: How to Reason and Argue (June 2018).[13] Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequences. — Amy Johnson, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (May 2019)[6] Sorry kiddo - YOU"RE wrong, And i just proved it If you disagree then you have to provide the proof. Gotcha
  2. It's going to be that way regardless of whether or not the pressure to do so was internal or external. And it's worth noting that such a group could definitely exist within the university itself. Lindsey shepard. Although i haven't seen anything about where the complaint comes from yet the fact the school was the agency that took action doesn't in any way take away from the scenario he mentioned.
  3. LOL - great minds it would seem...
  4. Nope. Sorry - it's completely bunk and irrelevant. Sorry punkin - all you're doing is taking everything that touches on communists or socailsim and branding it as 'cultural marxism' and trying to pass it off as nazi. Nope. Hey - did you know welfare was a nazi social practice? You support welfare rigth? Now... i'm not saying YOU'RE a nazi but,,,,,,''https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_People's_Welfare It's a dumb trick played by dumb people. It's just your way of calline people nazis. if you're going to peddle that kind of stupidity then you really need to start hanging around with 8 year olds or younger who might believe that crap.
  5. What sucks is that you can't. Now you don't have any reason to say i'm wrong. Sucks to be you jr
  6. The problem is that this isn't just the cbc. THey've felt the need to note when a source is gov't funded. They're clear that this does not mean the gov't controls it but it's something to keep in mind when looking at stories. And that's valid. And if tehy tagged pbs for a 5 percent gov't contribution how could they let cbc go with 70 percent? Honestly the cbc is being babies about this. They are state funded. and twitter is very clear that doesnt' mean that the state controls or even influences a news source tagged as state funded. Don't want to get called state funded -don't take the state's money. they wouldn't likely know it. THey've basically broken it into public and private.
  7. Yes, well, as always the world is full of possibilities and the gov'ts heads are filled with air.
  8. The stupid thing is that people will still tweet the cbc stories but now the cbc can't comment on them or highlight the points they like
  9. Welp - the CBC is dropping the hammer apperently https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/cbc-says-it-is-pausing-its-use-of-twitter-after-being-labelled-government-funded-media-1.6359113?cid=sm%3Atrueanthem%3A{{campaignname}}%3Atwitterpost&taid=643da09dac80900001448026&s=09 ""Twitter can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with Canadians, but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the work they do to allow our independence to be falsely described in this way,"" IT JUST SAYS YOU"RE GOV"T FUNDED!!! YOU GET 70 PERCENT OF YOUR REVENUE FROM THE GOV"T! HOW IS THAT A FALSE DESCRIPTION!!"
  10. True, but as concerning is the fact it appears more and more clear every day he's sold our soverignty to the highest bidder. The chinese put money in his foundation and support his candidates - we're to think he gives nothing in return?
  11. Not anymore. It was recognized quite some time ago that the practice of 'sealioning' was becoming prevalent and that it should NOT be expected at all to provide facts that are simple to look up. If you're providing something really obscure then fine, but it's a super quick google search with all the results you need on the front page. if you cannot disprove me through citations, just admit i'm right and that my claim is fact. Works both ways. It is ESPECIALLY a common game on the left - demand a source. Then claim the source is not suitable because you think it's bias or similar flaw, demand more. Claim those are not good enough for whatever reason and claim that there's some nebulous problem with the data. Demand more. Then eventually just move on to the person's next point and repeat. If you are unable to do BASIC elementary research - then you are too stupid for this conversation and should restrain yourself to something a little more kindergarten oriented. If you ARE capable - do your own lookups, you're a big boy/girl/whatever
  12. the gov't doesn't own the cbc. It just funds it. It can't do anything at all except cut funding.
  13. Wow - you must REALLY think i won and that you lost badly to try to sell it that hard Sorry kiddo - i didn't mean to cause you emotional damage. But it is worth your time to keep coming back and begging me to agree you won ROFLMAO - hoooo kaaay little guy Followed by more begging and crying PLEAAAAASE LET ME WIN you say Dude you're going from pathetic down to pitiable. Like i genuinely feel sorry for you. Lets recap the facts: Women don't know right away when they get pregnant - it takes time for the tests to be effective so 6 weeks isn't much time at all. If you're going to claim that a fetus is a human being from conception then you'll have to explain why that is, and you have failed to even try to do that. Roe vs wade was not about abortion per se, it was about whether it was covered by the constitution. You're an !diot. Those are the facts. Now - cope with that, and stop begging me to let you win, it's getting pretty damn sad. And i'm sorry for causing you emotional damage.
  14. No reason not to either. And no - it's a fact. You can verify the fact yourself or not, up to you. Well - i suppose seeing as you can't look up anything on your own maybe you can't. Sucks to be you,
  15. So you can't do it. I get it. You are both unable and unwilling to educate yourself and need me to do it for you. Man, that must be a pretty sad way to live. I do feel badly for you. I've always been able to look stuff up on my own, i can't imagine what that's like for you.
  16. well the dictionary does and it agrees with me. Sorry kiddo
  17. Why? Are you saying you can't look things up on your own? You are unable to inform yourself? If i don't do it for you then you'll REMAIN uneducated and ignorant? Wow - Well if that's the case it kind of feels like i should be charging you
  18. I recall just fine and so do you. So at the end of the day that's what you are - the kind of person who would fake quotes deliberately and then attempt to cover the fact up when called on it. You get to live with that, and the fact that people know that about you now.
  19. Honestly i'm not sure he will lose. I wouldn't bet too much against taht guy. Biden isn't inspiring people to get out there and vote that's for sure. The best thing for the GOP is for trump to lose the nomination to a strong candidate who then wins two terms. But - that's not looking like it's in the cards. The second best thing is for him to run and win. Do his four years, and then be out of the game permanently for life. If he doesn't he'll keep trying and this never goes away. So i think if he takes the nomination the GOP will pull out all stops, and lets face it - biden isn't going to be able to win by hiding in his basement again this time. He'll have to come out and defend his record. Which means he'll have to stay awake in front of the camera. Frankly it doesn't look great for the us either way right now. Trump did decently as far as results but his rhetoric is unsuitable for a president and the drama took away from his good works on things like the employment front. And his rhetoric is getting worse not better. Biden is a train wreck. So either way id' say the us is minimum 4 years out from good governance. At least. We'll see who runs next.
  20. So the renos did NOT increase your home's value the way you said it did. What increased your home's value was appreciation over time. If you had done NO renos it would still have apprecaited. SO you lied. Period. Yeah. We knew that. thanks for confirming? I guess? but - honestly we already were well aware you were full of it.
  21. As someone who's had to deal with this many times in court, i can tell you that is not exhaustive in the slighetst. Courts have and do demand reinstatement of positions, and/or demand payouts of wages vastly in excess of what the required minimum is by law. The issues will be things like how easy it is to get another similar job, if they feel there was any discrimination involved. etc. But i absolutely promise you that if you fire someone from a position like the cbc and it's considered wrongful dismissal you are NOT getting away with it that easily AND they're union so it gets to be an order of magnitude worse. I mean that was doug ford's plan too right, with hydro 1. He got in and tried and got slaughered. it just doesn't work that way.
  22. perSUASION and FOrCe aRe EXtremeLY SiMiLaR. In essence force is power made operative against resistance; exertion. Persuasion is the same thing, but specifically using arguments only. It's just a more specific term for the same thing. You're trying to put pressure on someone to take action. And that's why we use pretty girls to sell things like beer. But as noted - it wasn't the advertising component that was the issue of force here.
  23. THERE is MUCH EvIdEnCe. As I SUGGESTED, Read Up ON RECOMMENDED tReATmenTs. I realize that reading is hard for you, but this will be good experience. Take frequenet breaks and use asprin if you have to.
  24. Advertising is entirely about force, one way or another. It seeks to compel action. And nothing wrong with that really. But - that's not what i referred to. This isn't really about the advertising, at least not in the traditional sense. And people will very much feel that they're being pressured to accept transgenderism and a good thing by choosing to drink the beer if the beer is supporting this. So you're being 'forced' to choose - if you want the beer accept transgenderism and if you don't accept it you shouldn't drink this beer. And people are getting mad. Frankly a lot of people are sick of the intersectional wars and the culture war
