You do realise that this is a text based conversation right? Contributing or not has no impact on oxygen use. I understand using hyperbole to be witty, but that only works if you, y’know, have wit.
Common doesn’t mean good dawg. Herpes is common, doesn’t mean I want it.
I understood what you meant. I understood you were trying to be witty. I just don’t think you were successful.
But hey, that’s just my subjective opinion. If you don’t agree, then by all means continue this pointless argument. I love a good low stakes pissing match.
Yeah no there’s no point here, I’m just feeling genuine shock. How the fuck are you living your day to day life thinking anyone using abstractions instead of spelling out every single idea is “trying to be witty”.
Being witty means using words in clever or funny way. Telling someone stop talking as to not waste oxygen is an obvious example of trying to put someone down with clever (witty) language.
Also, do you know what an abstraction is? Because calling someone dumb and a waste of oxygen isn’t one, I’m not even sure if it really counts as a metaphor even.
An abstraction is more or less a simplification of a more complex topic. The fuck were you simplifying?
The way its commonly used, the oxygen metaphor refers to the limited room for words in a conversation, its not referring to the oxygen people use to breath. The put down was that the opinion of someone with no relevent experience or knowledge was worthless in the context of people who have been to China, studied China, spoken with people living there, etc.
I haven’t made any strong statements on whether the guy she stabbed abused her.
I pointed out that the court didn’t mention abuse, but did only give her 15 years, which could be me reading into it too much, but could imply the court believed there was some mitigating circumstances and she didn’t just murder him in cold blood.
But that’s more nuance than immediately dropping my pants and jerking off while grunting “China Bad” so I see why you wouldn’t pick up on it.
15 years seems pretty long for a sentence outside of the US, but I don’t know what the average would be in China. I’m just aware that our sentencing structure is ridiculously long for no good reason.
Yeah no you’re right, shutting up and leaving oxygen for the people with more knowledge on the subject is the right call.

Its a metaphor.
Not a very good one.
Its such a common metaphor either english isn’t your first language or you aren’t reading at a high-school level.

I’m not the one simping for an abuser
