That’s a huge lapse. Not everybody — not even close to everybody — is fully invested in Apple’s walled garden, but might still have one or two Apple devices.

Maybe “pet owners are more likely to care about something other than themselves.”

Now playing

In general though, you’re not really arguing against the person who has bought wholesale into trash like “Plandemic” — you’re trying to convince the person that can still be convinced.

Obviously security is all about trade-offs, but I would rather have my 2-factor on exactly 2 devices in case my first device becomes unbootable (drop your phone in water?).

I didn’t say that, you’re projecting your own problems with reading comprehension onto me. You haven’t said anything worth discussing, so g’bye

Tracing is not thoughtful, yet you invariably said all those examples were art; “poopity scoop” was not thoughtful. Again, if those are art while being completely without thought, why would criticism be an entirely different beast?

Since your latest argument states, effectively, that thoughtfulness doesn’t matter to classify those particular things as art, it seems logical to conclude that thoughtfulness isn’t a necessity to classify something as art. If you’d like to explain why thoughfulness matters for critique, but not for “poopity scoop” or

By that definition, you can argue criticism seeks to find praise, but some works of criticism simply fail to find it.

> criticism by nature seeks to find fault 

Sure, but who are they, and where do they get the right to say that?

Is not criticism its own art form?

The first type of criticism can still occur without the original author. Criticism of the graphic novel of Moby Dick probably has as much to do with Melville as whoever wrote, inked and edited the graphic novel. Criticism of a genre or an “art form” may not communicate to the original author, but may communicate to
