He is in a thread talking about disposable vapes. It is very easy to grasp that his comment was entirely about vapes. You have somehow taken a huge mental leap, to arrivale at disposable everything.

They literally said disposables shouldn’t exist altogether
I think it's a huge mental leap to pretend they were being nuanced and accurate with their words or to act surprised that someone took their words literally as they presented them.

You're having an argument with an imaginary position rather than asking them to clarify. It's beyond stupid to assume their position when you didn't have enough information to begin with. You're not showing yourself to be as smart as you seem to think you are.

Except they DID have enough information as this entire conversation is taking place under a "UK is considering banning disposable vapes" thread. The "well actually" is strong in this one.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Lmfao, and you lot are throwing a hissy fit because someone pointed out a position you never generally consider and made you uncomfortable.

I'm done here, feel free to continue shouting the defences of your cognitive dissonance in to the void... 👍

Oh so now it's a hissy fit because you don't wanna admit you're being a prick and don't know how to effectively communicate. That's definitely a you problem lol.

You are literally having another imaginary argument where everyone else is cognitively dissonant to your position. I wish I could be this deluded and self aggrandising.

I think you're getting a bit too worked up about pixels on a screen

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes, the "over sensitive" dismissal, a classic. Gotta make sure you never consider for a second that you might simply need to express yourself more clearly in future.
Good luck with that.

Oh. Was your reading comprehension so bad, you thought he was talking about disposable nappies in a thread about disposable vapes?
