"you're confusing cash with assets"
you are incorrect again. I wrote assets, because I was talking about total assets(which, this sounds like it's going to blow your mind, includes cash!)
maybe you aren't reading closely enough and are conflating my comments with the one sentence in the two articles you don't like for some weird reason?
your next comment kind of explains another one of your blind spots:
"And, for pedantic ness: "what the fuck are you talking about?""
questions are not pedantic.
you can't find out what somebody else meant unless you ask them a question.
what you are doing is assuming an answer and then extrapolating off of that, which is very easy for you to attack, but is often wrong because you're making things up.
The fact that you've finally except in my tutoring and have begun asking questions is a huge step forward.
I'll go look for someone who knows how to golf clap.
"I sort of assumed that basic literacy"
that sounds like it's your problem, you should stop assuming basic literacy and practice reading.
If you're just assuming literacy, in your head it sounds good, but out here it is rough for others to deal with you.
"So again, what "mistakes" are you correcting? "
that there's no way to confuse 300 with 400.
that you can't tell the difference between an opinion and a number from financial audit.
that because of one incorrect number you're dead set that both articles are wrong, even though their numbers are from the financial audit that you originally referenced.
you mistake a statement for a question.
there are more, but four of your mistakes should be enough of a start for you to recognize a few of your errors.
don't want to move too fast for you.
ps, good work on finally asking a question!
all I had to do was teach you what a question was for half a dozen comments comments consecutively and you learned!
that's progress.
preface: you know what, writing this was still fun, don't take my outrage too seriously.
no wait, don't take the outrage too personally.
take the outrage seriously, but not personally.
"Activists are always trainwrecks personally."
objectively untrue. in fact, I'm an activist and I'm killing it.
Stop making these obviously incorrect absolute statements.
absolute statements are never correct (this is a joke. notice how I made an absolute statement about absolute statements being never correct).
some people are train wrecks. some people are not.
it took you so long to write this response and you get basic facts incorrect in the second sentence.
geez.
sorry, you interrupted me in the middle of macgruber and you start off from such an indefensible, inaccurate point right off the bat.
"I don't think I was ever like that exactly"
you don't think you were exactly like an activist train wreck analogy that you just made up that nobody accused you of being?
Great. super relevant stuff you got going.
I also don't think you were ever exactly a tap-dancing hippopotamus, another thing nobody was talking about.
"We don't change things for the better perceptibly."
If you really are a volunteer and not making a difference, that sucks.
maybe try firefighting? or americorps? something that you'll be able to perceive as directly helpful with each action.
"...I'm just ignoring that now."
Great, thanks for ignoring it so much. you wrote a bunch of paragraphs about it.
"Where we can maybe exchange useful information is on optimism."
noooo thank you, we are not on the same level to be able to exchange useful information.
you're a total negative Nelly.
If you want help or a different perspective, you can ask for it, I do not need anything from your side, thank you for the oblique offer.
We aren't working together.
I am proactively pointing out that global genocide is an unreasonable punitive device, you are arguing that hey, the eldritch God advocating for genocide makes some points.
look, you're in the negotiation phase where you're trying to find common ground, but you should probably give up because none of the other phases have worked for you.
you previously thought there were arguments to be made for genocide, now you're rethinking your position.
that's great!
that's literally all I was trying to do with my comment, remind everybody who's making cynical pro-genocide comments that as practical measures or even as a "joke", none of the arguments make sense and believing that they do just shifts you further toward the authoritarian powers trying to crush your spirit and sense of community.
you eventually responded correctly by critically re-examining your beliefs.
that's great.
I'm going back to magruber.
