[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) And there you go pretending context doesn’t exist. Amazing. That’s not a strawman or an invention, it’s literally what the person was saying. You and I clearly use the word literally very differently. I use it considerably more honestly and literally than you do. If you can’t see the strawmanning here, you’re one or more of unselfaware, unable to back down when you’re wrong, disingenuous or malicious. I'm leaning towards options (b) and (c) here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) Like I say, you and I use the word "literally" very, very differently. When I say something like "they literally said it", I mean that they actually said it. You know, that that was what they said. Literally. When you use that phrase, you mean "that's how I interpreted it because I wanted to argue about it. All day." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 point 3 months ago It’s completely accurate to say “literally” while paraphrasing. No is isn't. Use words like "essentially" for that. "It's literally what they said" is in fact a lie. Especially not when inventing a bunch of absolutism that wasn't there and interpreting it with a whole bunch of extra, much easier to debunk nonsense that you added yourself. people insisted that sex has no meaningful use even in medical contexts. I didn't see that in this thread. Oh, unless you're meaning it "literally" with your version of the word "literally" which doesn't man literally literally and for some reason includes absurd straw man content. permalink fedilink source parent
