Mostly Informal fallacies, but I liked that book too!

I’m a bit new to self-studying logic (and rhetoric) but I think you should learn about “Formal fallacies” and “Informal fallacies”. Formal fallacies are those that arguments that are systematically false, like all A is B, some C is A, some C is not B, therefore all C is A. But in real arguments you have to convert those organic arguments into these terms (which could be the hardest part), and then you find out if it is a fallacy… I remember there was a way to find out if arguments are valid based on adding stars, I’ll probably send it later… But be warned, an argument can be “valid”, but still have the wrong premises! You can say, All cats are on fire, therefore some things on fire are cats… and the argument would still be valid, but rest on false premises… Informal fallacies, I think, are somewhat out of the scope of formal logic, but they are still considered faulty arguments, like Strawman…

Yay decentralisation…?

Not sure, but that’s how my relatives call them.

2 days ago we had a moving up ceremony, and the speaker said that the secret to a successful life is “Honor your parents and Honor God”. That advice wouldn’t apply to everyone…

Yep, it would’ve been open-ended if you asked others what they thought of the various instances and website.

By good for the world work, you mean “Noble Professions”?

Where’s the question in this post? I swear Lemmy users would just upvote everything they see lol

Toram Online, 700+ hours. Not counting the time spent on the PC port though.

Sometimes I use Reddit to search up nonfiction book recommendations on r/books with searx.be (it automatically fetches you results on the old reddit website) because to be honest, it’s pretty much one of the few places where I can find nonfiction recommendation for niche topics or just nonfiction readers in general (that isn’t just about self-help books). Not only that, the users generally give a synopsis so it’s easier to find what book you’d be interested in. But since Reddit made porn less accessible, my reddit usage dropped significantly.

Me. My mode of transport is usually open-air, so I dislike breathing in dust and smoke. And I hate the idea of people potentially judging my face and facial expressions.

Yeah, I wish there was a feature that lets you switch between total-only and lemmy format.

If I’m posting a question, I simply won’t have anything better to say to someone who answered with more expertise than me 🤷‍♂️. If I say thanks to everyone just for the sake of it, I feel like I’m clogging up the comment section.

What was the Swamps of Dagobah?

I know, but iirc it takes time for posts to be shared across instances?

One on lemmy.world (June 15th), this account I’ve made on lemmy.fmhy.ml (July 3rd), and one on lemmynsfw (also July 3rd). My lemmy.fmhy.ml account is my main now, I only login on lemmy.world if I want a more up-to-date feed and content, though the lemmyverse has already gotten bigger and has more content nowadays so that’s no longer necessary.

And with different purposes and contributions

I’m literally less than a decade old and only own a phone and a shitty HP laptop

You also have multiple right-wing shitholes that promise free speech and also drive us out. I’d say the favor is returned here.

With that logic, people like you deserve to be punished for being complacent with negligent homicide and property damage. My country is being wracked with extreme weather events and my countrymen are now inconvenienced with rising costs of and lack of water supply due to lowering water levels due to the extreme heat because of climate change, and guess what? Lots of people dying to heat stroke, because of the high humidity levels. There is a limit to the temperature people can survive with those humidity levels. People like you only care about convenience, even though hundreds of millions of people will suffer or even die from it because people like you DON’T CARE, and you only will when you complain about the incoming climate refugee crisis. Someday it will be so hot out that poor people won’t be able to protest outside, and the rich people ever more out of touch with reality because they’ll never get out of their air-conditioned houses.
