About as relevant as saying that your comparison is apples to oranges while still agreeing with your underlying point.

Also yes. I would hope people that want to engage in a real conversation would read past the first sentence.

Btw reaching for the ad hominem argument is quite petty imo.

You do realize that this started by you taking seriously something someone said in jest? The jig should’ve hinted at when the original comment said “seriously though” so in fact you are the one who derailed the conversation by having tunnel vision on a comment that was a joke, or a light hearted poke at something that you said.was not helpful.

That’s how conversations work, people don’t always fixate on the thing that you are trying to make a point on. They follow up with their points of view and things they can contribute with.

No, I got it. I just wasn’t commenting on that part.

I said:

Neither of them [the suggestions] are helpful

It isn’t

To be fair that’s not an good comparison. This comparison would be proper if someone was asking:

Hey my computer stopped working, can you help?
Have you tried using a calculator instead?

The proper one would be:

Hey my Ford stopped working, can you help?
Have you tried using arch linux a BMW instead?

Neither of them are helpful, but I think it works better.

This is what I think usually happens. Allthough it still bothers me.

Seriously? That bothers you more than the frog having human-like organs?

However I’m pretty sure those aren’t tweezers and they aren’t pinned down.

Clearly y’all ain’t the brightest tool in the basket.

Honestly? Dollar stores are all pretty bad.
