If we just a did a character profile on you based on your diet, choice of beverages and your chain smoking history, while disregarding your race, profession and academic background, you would be the king of sherdogs white trash

Yuck, no chain smoking. I only smoke about a pack a week nowadays. Most was a half a pack a day when I was in college.

When I used to be a heavier drinker, I'd say my liquor consumption was moderately bourgeois. Go-to's were Buffalo Trace bourbon and Purus Vodka. About $25 for a fifth of either. I stand by both as the absolute best values in terms of quality for your buck. But if I was feeling like a real ritzy bitch, I would sometimes get a local small batch bourbon for $60-70 a fifth.

Sorry I thought you once said you were a pack a day. Nevertheless, fried cheese curds and Mountain Dew -- that's northern Quebec levels of white people

Yeah, I probably did say that. I actually was a pack a day for my sophomore year of college when I lived in an apartment where you could smoke inside. But I attach that to my level of drinking at that time. When I would drink, or on the occasions that I drink now, I smoke like a chimney. Once I got down to only drinking on the weekends, it declined heavily.

I swear they changed the recipe. As a kid it was amazing. Now I don't like it as much as dads root beer or Stewart's.

Maybe. But then would it be Old Tyme? Let's start a class-action over deceptive marketing.

A nice surprise with Keto is one our preferred meals entirely makes the cut.

I don't want to get all back into it @Cubo de Sangre, but your P6 in the other thread doesn't repair your syllogism.

Just as a exercise in identifying logical validity, you should be able to see that unless censoring is literally the exact same thing as de-platforming, the premises do not guarantee the truth of the conclusion. I say this having ditched any shits I may have given about the content or argument at all - the same holds true for the bacon syllogism as well.

Remember that validity means there can be no possible way for the conclusion to be false when the premises are true.


I did have an idea for a future thread, but I've gotta spend some time with it so it doesn't just become a truism or break down along predictable lines.

Yeah, this is an exercise in logic, not a rehashing of the thread.

Why you think "de-platform" and "censor" need to cover the exact same ground. If you wanna get super nitpicky let me first tighten things up (added in green)...

P1: "De-platforming" by social media is a form of censorship
P2: The term Censorship has a generally negative connotation
P3: De-platforming has a neutral or positive connotation by comparison
P4: Choosing to substitute a more positive word/term to avoid negative connotation is a euphemism
P5: This type of euphemism is Orwellian
P6: The presence of this euphemism alone is enough to elevate the usage to be categorized as Orwellian
C: Calling social-media censorship "de-platforming" is Orwellian.

Yep. What's missing?

I'll point out, I did enough to change @VivaRevolution's mind with this method. And I did it acknowledging P1 as a fact, not hiding from the truth of it. :cool:

Hit me up when ready. About a dozen slots left.
