the odds that they’re not are vastly greater.

you are making that up

[–] NateNate60 -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, I am not. I wouldn't say it if it were made up. Who have I got to convince by making shit up? I am not pushing any viewpoint at all.

I base my assertion on interactions with people on this platform. Whenever someone parrots a point that is promoted this way, they're almost universally just repeating what some wisecrack said on X that sounds correct enough to not investigate further or think critically about and is agreeable to their worldview.

I will not argue over this. You either accept what I am saying or you don't, but I don't give enough of a shit either way to get into an argument.

you have no proof for your claim. no one should believe you

[–] NateNate60 -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can say that. It doesn't matter though. I am right. You can keep saying "nuh uh" if you want.

saying it doesn't make it true. you have presented no proof, so no one should believe you
