It was explaimed in detail from day one, the actions of all security involved, who was responsible for what, and the timeline of events and interactions. Obviously there isn't an unlimited secret service arsenal and army travelling the countryside with former presidents, packing planefuls of sniper teams and other special units.

You need that elaborated on? All the information is the same as it has been https://duckduckgo.com

Nah don’t care, that subject itself doesn’t affect or interest me. Just saying that you convinced no one and that your comment provided no value besides a few upvotes for me, which don’t even matter on this site. I also intended it more for others who might be inclined to do the same thing rather than you yourself.

If you actually ever want to change minds or prevent the spread of misinformation (which I’m still not convinced it is because again, you provided no evidence and I still don’t care), it’s a good idea to actually elaborate instead of just saying “not true”. The only people convinced by empty comments like yours will be convinced the other way by the next evidence-free claim.

Btw I genuinely don’t see how the info would change my life for the better so if you are gonna start trying now, just edit it into your og comment or something, I probably won’t be back in this thread again

That was an extensive way of saying you roam around making quips at others with disinterest of context and little concern.for much else. How charming.

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

While I don’t care much about the subject, I do actually care about ineffective communication and how it presents. Indeed, I have made a few comments like that— specifically putting the reason a comment failed to communicate— in the hopes that at least one person will avoid that particular pitfall next time. I don’t do it as much as I’d like to because sometimes it’s hard to condense why a comment failed, but this one was pretty easy.

For the sake of argument though, making quips would still be better than worthless comments like your original one even if they didn’t communicate something. Among every form of discourse, quips are vastly better liked than “not true but I can’t prove it” to everyone but the guy being called out.

So bold of you to speak opinion on worthless comments.

That’s the closest to “no you” that I’ve seen in a while, down to using my own word. Any other gems? Should I throw in a misspelling so you can go off on that instæd?

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No thanks. Just the check, please.
