Damn, you just SLAMMED me.

You asked the question with specific emphasis that sets it up to be easy to argue against.

For example using the words 'perfectly fine' when you should very well understand from their previous statement that they don't think that to be the case, you exaggerated their stance in order to misrepresent it. This misrepresentation allows you to frame their position with a question that is easy to defeat instead of actually refuting their claim or answering their proposed question.

You also loaded the question, implying their position within your question and reducing their possible responses to extremes.

This is a high school debate club 101 straw man question, I was just letting you know, so hopefully in the future you can structure your arguments better.

For example, if I responded to you saying "so you think everyone who calls you out, just doesn't understand what a straw man is?"

It's exaggerating and purposefully misconstruing the point in order to ask a question that is easy to rebut.

And here's the definition: an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

Yes, honestly the fact that 'youtube music' is literally just a different frontend for YouTube drives me nuts, it goes both ways, the YouTube app for TV doesn't have proper features either, it's unclear if you are getting the music or video version and the most egregious of them all imo, on the TV app, you can't freaking browse for a different song while music is playing, you have to stop the song to go to the search bar.

It's important to note that most of the money borrowed by the US govt is in the form of bonds to its own citizens, and the interest paid is to those citizens.

Cli doesn't make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

Just so you know, this is a textbook straw man fallacy.

They don't convey the same information.

Infinity isn't really an amount of something.

The bridge just creates imap/smtp servers, so you should be able to add it to thunderbird on Android.

You don't need to mail in to research candidates.

At least in my state, you can just see who is on the ballot weeks and weeks ahead of time.

They are saying that you have all day to vote, not that you get 16 hours of time off.

Voting on election day can take way more than five minutes, however, in most cases, you have weeks to vote.
