Man, you are just lighting up the straw men tonight, aren't you?

First of all, I don't have an emotionally charged opinion about people faking it. I think it's a stupid aphorism and a bad practice overall, but my life isn't affected either way if people choose to be fake instead of having real accomplishments. But if someone is offering it as a solution, I'm certainly going to point out its flaws, of which there are many. You seem very personally offended by this for some reason and I'm not entirely sure why.

Second, while I may be amused at my knowledge of someone's bullshit (hence the superior smirk), I'm not going to call them out on it. That's not my place, and I certainly don't take any satisfaction out of bursting someone's bubble anyway (unless he's a dick to me, in which case I'll happily shred the veil of bullshit). Again, I'm not sure why you're taking personal exception to this, unless you're just projecting your own frustration at the fact that people can tell you're faking. In which case, I totally understand. It's one of the pitfalls of faking I was illustrating earlier: you're always just one well-placed remark away from failure. Or in this case, one simple facial expression away from losing your shit.

No, you've definitely said some stupid shit.

Everything I've taken exception to has been direct quotes from you, son. The "straw man" is your constant disregard for the fact that you said the things you actually were directly quoted as saying and have evidence via the scroll up feature that you're constantly full of shit denying that you've said anything that i copy-pasted from your own comment, son

There's no embarrassment for me to save. You like to have a superior smirk. that's really all the proof I need right there. But again, you're dodging the issue and saying it's personal or that i'm making shit up. (maybe i'm inventing your own quotes and editing your posts ???). You're using the fallacy fallacy, claiming a fallacy to dodge the issue, which is a form of a straw man.

yeah, i am totally doing that. no wonder everything you're saying is so self-righteous and pseudo-alpha. cause i'm a fake it 'til you make it kind of guy, which is, funny enough, something you assumed about me that I actually never said

son
