I just think it's cute you imply people with dirty shirts are dangerous or not to be trusted and I'm making fun of that, if you didn't catch it.

I agree with people's right to choose on their own property, however I also find it laughable you're scared of dirty people with guns but not people in blue shirts with guns nor dirty people with "maybe guns" you're unaware of. These positions are not conflicting in any way, and you're silly.

Wow, you're offended that I made up a person in a dirty T-shirt as an example?

For the record, I don't actually think a dirty T-shirt is a value judgement. It's sort of a "been doing house work" type thing.

If you're that fixated on one detail of an example and are just going to ignore everything else that was said, you're remarkably thin skinned.

Offended? No u, I simply think your "example" of "scary man" reflects more about you than the hypothetical "him."

Uh-huh, then why do those dirty men scare you, hmm?

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Weird you took my example to be of a "scary person" when I was just illustrating the difference between a known quantity and an unknown quantity. Try actually reading as opposed to projecting your weird fantasy where anyone who doesn't like guns must be aquiver in fear at their very presence.

Do you think I'm afraid of people buying milk too?

You've clearly got a chip on your shoulder.

Cops to you are a "known quantity?" They commit more crime than ccw holders lol.

Yes you're clearly afraid of the lactose tolerant.

So you have no real argument, so just focusing on as hominim attacks and on blowing up one single thing they said once. Got it.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If by that you mean "you're just making fun of a dumb thing I said."

Yeah, basically.

Also I think it's silly to be scared of people for a dumb reason but not be scared of others who could possibly have that same reason hidden under their shirt, but yes, you're entitled to be naive if you so choose.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, I mean what I said. You're hyper focused on one thing the other person said while ig ignoring everything else because you can't rebut any of their other points. And don't appear mature enough to cede points.

Tbh I'm not even sure what his other points are, other than him being scared of dirty people with guns but not cops.
