You based an argument-by-analogy on something that wasn't even true. As a result, the whole argument fails. If the "facts" of your argument turn out to be false, then the argument by definition fails. The fact that you think one has to be a professor to make this connection is hilarious.

So the parallel doesn't work. It's a false equivalency.

I hope you feel better now that you've heard yourself talk. We are shown characters going to the bathroom in Harry Potter, though. Welcome to the discussion that has already happened.

Jesus man, don't you think there are better uses of your time than scouring every single car magazine that's ever been published in Germany for their advice on warming up your car?

Again, nothing in the article is about "idling extensively." It's about "idling for a minute or two." And the part you quoted was about the oil in the oil pan. So again, "1000x nope" to what? The one small point about transmission fluid, which isn't even in the part you're responding to?

What do you think you're disagreeing with? All he's advocating is a few minutes, which is exactly what you end up conceding is all right.

When the younger sibling gets older, he'll learn how to deploy this:

You can call me a troll as many times as you want if it pleases you, but the only way I've "been schooled" is if by it you mean I've learned that you are of the kind of disposition that you will argue about something even without knowing anything about it. You didn't know "hordes" could have a derogatory racial…

One, do you really need me to list America's atrocities throughout history, before, during, and after that war? Two, do you not understand the dumb moral equivalency game you're playing when you try to use atrocious acts perpetrated by a cruel political regime as justification for dehumanization of an entire country?…

You're going with number 2, then? AND claiming it's not racist because it's accurate, at the same time. You just did all my work for me.

I was waiting for this. You're almost there. Now that you've looked it up, tell me which of those meanings is appropriate to the usage here.

I think there's something very peculiar about your perverse desire to argue for the right to call a nation of people a "horde" in complete disregard for any non-slur meaning of the word, limp-wristedly claiming that it was both a joke and that it was not. Because everything else that's come up since my initial…

You were where exactly? And how does that make it okay for you to arbitrarily decide what is and isn't forgiven and what racist jokes it's okay to make or not make?

I see the misunderstanding now. An anus full of dogmeat is most definitively not classy, which is why you should stop acting like one. It's not classy. Don't be one anymore. Hope that clears that up?

History's lovely when you just get to arbitrarily make it all up, isn't it?

Just because something was funny and witty when someone else said it does not mean you can be funny and witty by repeating it later, you anus full of dogmeat. And maybe look at what you're even commenting on — does this look like a light article to you, fucko? Go stick your fist in a blender, Francis.

Read between the lines. The poster is fucking saying the game convinced him to support the developers. This is like going to the store, stealing the food, taking a bite, going back and paying for it, and then finishing the rest.

But if you make people imagine it's happening somewhere that requires a greater suspension of disbelief to emotionally engage with it happening in, the specifics of the writing in the premise and back story (who exactly are the belligerents? What's the political situation that lead up to this? Who is trying to gain…

Uh, the first ten minutes of UP are "growing old with someone is beautiful and losing them is hard" propaganda. How do you get "adulthood sucks" out of that?

YES. THIS.
