  • How hard it is to meet with Muslium or Arab or Palestinian, snd say something to make them trust her?

    I don’ t get this. Why promise something you are sure you can’t commit to? Why desire for a politician to lie to you?? Politicians are already dragged for false promises on things they’ve actually tried (but failed) to accomplish. But you want them to whisper sweet nothings in your ear about an incredibly politically-complex issue…for what? I don’t want her to say it unless she means to do it.

    Sorry, I didn’t sanitize my output, assuming this would forestalled by the redirect to my other comment explaining I see how I was applying my implicit biases and connotations to what “argument” means.

    I didn’t call out the addition of competitions then because I didn’t think this would sprawl as long as it did. I will do so now:

    I never said a word about competitions and that, in my mind, has no inherent bearing on the healthiness of a relationship as there can be different types of competition. So we can immediately excise that from further discussion.

    Addressing the sole part that is relevant now: I now agree arguments aren’t necessarily angry, by everyone’s definition. But that was the tone and definition with which I made the original comments up until that first reply to chicken.

    You can see that segment as a revision of my first reply to you. Have a good whatever.

    Yeah, I can admit my definition of argument might not widely applicable. Not to say my understanding of the word is the sole definition but people often use words wrong, so I shouldn’t die on the hill that my interpretation is the correct one.

    But, to your second point, I read the OOP as the supposed “gf” (I still assume the OOP is fake) being the main instigator for the argument while the writer is more passive. The gf is able to leave but is also the one who rejoins the argument later, after having ChatGPT corrall her talking points.

    But that’s getting more into the weeds of analysis than I csre to go.
