The implication was that you were presenting yourself as a hipster, nothing really that complicated, especially if you realize almost all of my comments are based off a bit that utilizes hyperbole and assumptions to make a point

I just wanted to let you know, your replies are amazing. I'm sure you get this a lot but damn, you must have studied with rocket scientists, or at the very least doctors

Sorry man, I guess I can't handle someone that "studied with doctors". By the way, that is literally the dumbest brag I've ever read in my life. I didn't want to say anything mean, we were just having a debate, but you got weirdly insulting in your last few posts (passages!) so I feel comfortable saying it now.

Dude, you disappeared so far inside your own asshole with this comment, I'm worried you actually believe that self congratulating bullshit you just spouted. Let me just use one thing you wrote as an example. If someone said the phrase "deploy such words" in a conversation with a normal person, they'd think you were a…

Damn, I always thought it was a call to arms for child molesters, based off the creepy and enduring hushed tones

I love that you listed The Beatles and The National in the same thought as KP

I used the word deduced because I was making fun of your bizarre obsession with using words where they aren't needed. Dude you literally just said "to enlighten you as to it's meaning" instead of "explain what it meant".

Haha, you literally just proved that you are using wikipedia/google to research every comment I make. I just set you up and you failed miserably and lied about it. No, you didn't "realize" when you reread the "passage" (it wasn't a passage, unless you are a weird ass dude who never heard the word comment/reply and are…

Metallica never had a good album though

Uh, it's hilariously outlandish to assume I don't know what the word extant means based off of my responses to you, all of which have been intelligent and well spoken. Thus (I used that word for you, because you seem to love overusing uncommon words in an attempt to solidify your position as the expert in the…

I love your writing the same way I love the movie Con-Air, it's so awful I can't help but smile. "Beside" and "besides" the point are two different idioms, and you used the wrong one.

Your assumption that I'm ignorant of what certain words mean, just because I commented about how unnecessary it was to use them, is another clear example of your ignorance of what Occam's Razor actually means.

Booooooo

Haha I know what it means bozo, it's just hilarious how you write. Why use seven words when four will do? It just makes you sound like a poor writer because it signifies that you can't connect with your audience and create a unique, powerful experience for them to feel and relate to. George Orwell wrote at length…

Dude you've listened to Pinkerton way too many times

Dude, your comments are hilariously overfilled with uncommon words in an attempt to seem smart. Your argument is horrid, he wasn't referencing lacrosse and no one in their right mind seems to think he was, except for you. Seriously, dropping a "nevertheless" when it was entirely unnecessary, using extant multiple…

Chill with the big words, they don't impress me, secondly, children talk sports and receive their information from espn, information spreads.

I love that coincidentally and conveniently you "studied" it in college with doctors and grad students, yet are sat here on a friday afternoon commenting on an avclub article.

Dude, it just isn't, do yourself a favor and do some research. Yeah, it applies to parsimony, but no, it's not exclusively or explicitly used in that way.

You spoke about parsimony as if it had a core role in Occam's Razor, and that without it, it doesn't apply. That is not only wrong, but it reads as if you googled the term, read the first few lines on wikipedia, and then formulated your response.
