Okay I'm not going to argue with you about what is or isn't a gotcha, you seem to be really hung up on that. I'm saying they're not being hypocrites and just pointing out that they aren't banning western companies from collecting data is missing a whole lot of nuance. It's not as simple as "if you ban one you gotta ban them all, otherwise you're a hypocrite".
Yeah, I'm weirdly hung up on people saying things about me that aren't true. I'm just an odd duck that way. I'm sure you're a completely different, but what with you having your PhD in psychology rescinded by Harvard after you faked all that data in those papers, I don't think we can trust you on it.
... What? My guy you might want to go get some fresh air, I'm concerned you just had a micro stroke.
Did I or did you lie and say I was trying to do a gotcha? Because I'm pretty sure that's what happened:
This must be more than a micro stroke, because I'm looking at that screenshot and it still looks like that was what you lied about.
And I was pointing out that lying about people in very obvious ways makes you look ridiculous. A point you figured out but didn't realise it applied to yourself.
Lying? Mate what in the hell are you on about, seriously? I was kinda half joking before but I'm actually serious now, I think you need some fresh air. I genuinely have no clue what you're on about anymore. No one's lying and no one accused anyone else of lying in this conversation.
I literally showed you where you lied. Are you claiming it's not a lie and I did think it was a gotcha? Are you psychic?
I don't know what you're on about mate, and this has gone on too far. I hope your day, week, or whatever turns around. Have a good one.
You know exactly what I'm on about because I literally showed you that you lied about me trying to do a gotcha when I wasn't trying to.
So why you're pretending to be stupid is beyond me.
I do not know how to explain to you that I am not going to argue with you about what a gotcha is. I already said that. I cannot believe that's what you're still on. But I will suggest you read about what the "royal you" is.
Remember one post ago when you lied about thinking that this had been going on too far and wished me a good one because you didn't like me accusing you of lying about things?
Well I was actually concerned about your mental health for a little bit there but now I'm pretty confident you're just a troll, so trust me this really will be the last time. Ciao.
You've lied to me and insulted me more than once but I'm the troll. Interesting.
