@Gregolian, I looked for that Bang key lime at the store. Not there. But they did have Bang cotton candy.

And if you could please stop misusing begs the question before I blow a blood vessel, my brain would appreciate it.

Meh, it's a colloquial thing that I think everyone understands: that one or something is beckoning the asking of a question, rather than assuming its answer. To point out the misuse when 99% of the time that's how it's used is pretty petty imo.

Begs the question of why he feels so strongly about it.

The first sentence of my post says I think the guards are liable.

How am I using begs the question wrong?

It's an informal logical fallacy. Means to assume the conclusion (circular reasoning). Doesn't mean "calls for or raises the question," except it seems to be morphing that way.

There’s a birthday cake one too

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

There’s a birthday cake one too

That flavor could go a number of directions.

It tastes like birthday cake. It’s weird. I’d never buy it again but did enjoy it.

White cake with cream cheese frosting?

 

[Gregolian]

White cake with cream cheese frosting?

Yup

 

[Deorum]

My wife made lobster mac and cheese, @AgonyandIrony, and I need someone in here who can appreciate what a lucky mofo I am.

You are, you lucky fuck. I always have to cook and I feel like the woman in this relationship. It's gonna trigger a violent outburst. I'm kidding but damn man, he probably couldn't cook a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. These twinks think all they have to do is lay around the house and look cute (true). I just changed the oil in his car earlier too, which was a mess; the tread on the tires is all uneven and fucked up because he never rotate them.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Yup

You bullshittin'?

 

[Gregolian]

You bullshittin'?

Nope. No bullshit

Tell that to my pending cerebral hemorrhage. Captain Pedantic does tend to tilt at windmills in this regard.

LOL
Mental illness is the answer to your implied question.

I thought I asked politely, FWIW, a request, not a call out, @Lord Coke.

I'll take your word for it but I always thought begs the question meant raises the question.

 

[The Diplomat]

It's assuming the conclusion, which is a logical fallacy. It's complete bullshit, but sounds nice.

Since I am doing my research here is another one you guys might find interesting. In San Diego news, the Ninth Circuit distinguished the Supreme Court's recent precedent in Roman Catholic Diocese. A Ninth Circuit panel upheld California’s Covid-19 restrictions banning indoor worship services at churches are constitutional. In upholding the ban Ninth Circuit distinguished the Supreme Court's recent holding in Roman Catholic Diocese (which struck a similar restriction) and found the New York law at issue in that case had a more developed "evidentiary record" and "San Diego County benefits from a year-round warm climate" "full of outdoor spaces that could plausibly accommodate outdoor religious services, such as parks and parking lots." the church can have services outside. San Diego is going to have rain all next week. What is this church supposed to do then? Also I refuse to believe the Supreme Court is going to allow their precedent to be ignored based on the weather since that is not part of the legal reasoning of the opinion.

So, how much coke do you do, huh?

It is a common tactic in the war room. You'll see thread titles like, "Why do Liberals hate science?" in a thread about race realism or something.

Changing the subject that is completely irrelevant to what someone originally thought is just normal bar talk, imo.
