whoever loves Digit đľđ¸đşđ¸đ´ââ ď¸Not sure if this is a science meme but politicalmemes hated it so I'll try here
aubeynarfI think we have a society that prefers listening to money over discussing things with experts / researchers who focus on their field
Ok, I agree with this statement, but I donât think the meme delivers this message in a clear or succinct way.
The original message is more like âthink for yourselfâ / ârespect peopleâs rightsâ but I was trying to explain how my argument isnât just dumb edginess
Let me know what you initially thought after seeing it?
What I initially thought was âdamn, someone does not know how to use this meme format at all.â
apfelwoiSchoppenHow are the concepts of âthink for yourselfâ and ârespect otherâs rightsâ an absolute dichotomy?
socsaWhat is a gun expert to you? A person with a lot of guns? Or does it require like an engineering degree. Because the only firearms engineer I know absolutely supports sane gun control.
I assume your goal with this comment was to annoy me, and you succeeded. Does that make you feel better about something wrong with your life? Itâs really sickeningly fucked up and I hate you for it.
What is a gun expert to you?
If I had used the term âgun expert,â I would be asking what makes you think my definition of it is any different from the normal definition youâd get from looking up âgunâ and âexpertâ in a dictionary.
People weirdly ask me questions like this when Iâm using terms correctly, to try to imply Iâm using the term incorrectly, but get out of having to actually explain the train of thought enough for it to hold up to scrutiny.
Since I didnât use the term âgun expert,â I have to address all of the above, plus add that itâs weird how youâre injecting the whole question at random.
A person with a lot of guns?
Itâs especially weird that this is your first suggestion. Is this what you get by looking up âgunâ and âexpertâ in your dictionary?
I guess people with a lot of guns probably have some expertise in them, typically, but why are you asking me and framing the question so weirdly?
Or does it require like an engineering degree.
Again, weird suggestion, bizarrely bypassing the obvious solution of consulting a dictionary.
Because the only firearms engineer I know absolutely supports sane gun control.
Donât blame your firearms engineer friend for your decision to waste my time with nonsense and annoy me, unless they were involved. Like, do you live in a world where âsupporting sane gun controlâ is code for giving all your friends some batshit insane dictionary? I donât think your friend gave you some insane dictionary that supports the shit you typed here, and if they did, thatâs still got nothing to do with their position on gun control.
Anyway, âsane gun controlâ is gun control outside of the US, or gun control achieved through a constitutional amendment in the US. If your friend supports the unconstitutional gun control we have in the US, thatâs not sane, and I donât recognize them as the kind of expert who should have any say in who can have what guns.
If youâre asking if who I discuss things with: Iâm happy to discuss things with everyone I have time for, which is typically everyone, period. However, it seems like experts are being driven to a level of isolation where I donât get to talk to many of them myself.
If youâre asking if Iâm an expert: sure, I have expertise in many topics.
medgremlinThis comment is absolutely baffling. The offense you take at someone asking for clarification of what you meant in a clumsily-made meme using the incorrect format/references is extreme to the point of absurdity. Your assumptions about the other commenterâs motivations and methodology are very odd and prompt me to wonder about your overall stability and/or reading comprehension. (More likely the reading comprehension based on your other replies.)
