I started hearing the "SNL is no good anymore" complaint

I never said "anymore".

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wasn't quoting you, i was paraphrasing the basic shallow sentiment you were repeating, which so many people before you have repeated for decades, that it is now generally met with a sarcastic eye roll.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Everything you said implied that something had changed when I never said anything about that.

Why is it "shallow" to not like a show?

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've made my case, and intead of defending your opinion, you want to argue about arguing. I'm bored with you, go away.

No, it wasnt, i directly addressed your allegation that SNL wasnt funny, which is objectively wrong, since it has been on the air for 50 seasons, and has decent ratings. That's not a Strawman.

You, OTOH, are shifting the goal posts, trying to morph the argument from one you have lost, to an unrelated argument you think you can win, and i already told you i didnt want to argue about arguing. Thats an indication that you have lost.

You are a disengenuous debater, and im not interested in indulging your nonsense.

i directly addressed your allegation that SNL wasnt funny

No, you addressed an allegation that SNL is no longer funny, which I never said, which is the definition of a strawman.

are shifting the goal posts

I'm trying to "shift the goal posts" back to my argument instead of the one you conjured from thin air.

i didnt want to argue about arguing

Then stop doing it.

You are a disengenuous debater

Said the strawman.

When you make an allegation, and that allegation is refuted by the truth, that doesnt make the truth a strawman, it means you're wrong. Now you think that somehow the word "anymore," or the past tense proves your point. It doesn't. Your initial allegation is wrong no matter how you think you are framing it.

Bottom line: Your allegation that SNL isnt funny is wrong, and it isn't even an interesting or new opinion. You are just one in a long line of people who think they are being superior by making that claim. You arent superior, you are tiresome and boring. And the more you argue about arguing, the more tiresome amd boring you become.

Go away, seriously.

Good thing that never happened.

Fallacy #2 is presenting your opinions as facts.

You are just one in a long line of people who think they are being superior by making that claim.

Soooo not liking something means I think I'm "superior" to it? Yeah that makes tons of sense...

Go away, seriously.

Takes 2 to tango, buddy. You keep telling me to go away and then you keep coming right back. Feel free to disengage once you've humiliated yourself enough.

Are you still talking? I told you, I'm done. I didn't read one word, so keep wasting your time if it's that important to you, but now you're starting to sound a bit hysterical. Go settle down.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org -2 points 1 day ago

You keep saying you're done but then you keep returning and writing more comments, so it doesn't seem that you are.

Are you flyingsquids alt? You argue just like him and are also insufferable

No idea what that is but thanks for the unnecessary personal insult.
