Person is already dead inside. They "have a family" but are acting like a teenager - speaks for itself...

"they're acting like a teenager" and "speaks for itself" in the same post. 😬

Thanks for calling me on the shoddy rhetoric. The person I was replying to claims to have a family while themselves providing a typical teenage retort, thereby failing to act maturely, which is what one would expect from a decent parent. Any better? Still too ad hominem?

who said anything about ad hominems? or shoddy rhetoric? you're calling them a teenager while using the phrase "speaks for itself", which is a pretty immature phrase. And then you dress up your language for the reply to me to sound more mature? sounds like someone who's stuck in adolescence and pining for "adulthood" to me.

There's nothing wrong with the phrase "speaks for itself". It's a very common expression.

Not for someone trying to sound like an adult. an intelligent adult knows that no one really knows much of anything and searches for the answers instead of just giving up and saying "meh, guess it's self evident and speaks for itself". it's pretty cocky and immature to have that kind of attitude. "says who" you ask? guess it just speaks for itself. 🤷‍♀️
