      …you understand that two things CAN be true at once, though. Right?

      The one true statement is violating sovereignty is a bad thing. That’s the one bad thing.

        It’s true, generally one should not violate sovereignty by overthrowing a country’s government and replacing them with warmongering nazis eager to do ethnic cleansing.

        You do understand how saying “two things can be true at once” as if you’re talking to an actual toddler is incredibly condescending and not a good place from whence to start a conversation, right? Have the basic respect for someone you’re talking and assume they also have object permanence.
        Stepping into the room like you’re the enlightened Buddha whose shit don’t stink, because you just figured out that both Biden and Trump can be senile at the same time, only has the effect to make everyone else look at you like the idiot you are for

        1. Not figuring it out earlier and
        2. Behaving as if you’re presenting some novel insight.

        Alternatively if you’re trying to dunk on someone have the basic respect for the audience and be either effective or original, which “two things can be true at once” is, ironically, neither.

          To the commenter which I can’t respond to for some reason: Read the rest of the text next time buddy. It’s also a terrible dunk. Nitpicking text only works if the rest of the text doesn’t touch on the subject.

            “RuSsIa MaN BaD!!”

            Not what I’d call peak originality lol.

            Not sure why you can’t reply to me though. I’m testing if it works for me replying to you (E: seems to work, might be an instance thing but no idea why it would only work in one direction)

          If OP was looking for adult conversation, this title might’ve not been the greatest place to start lol:
