Hi, this is a bit of a tangent but it’s topical so I hope you don’t mind me asking. Since you use the pronoun “drag”, would you also consider your gender to be a third gender, or is it only your pronouns that are nonbinary?

In the way “man” is being used here, it’s not your body that would make you a man, but your gender identity. For most people, those are intuitively the same thing, but that only makes it more important to be clear about the terms being used here.

It needs to be said as long as people don’t understand it. Plus, it can be a useful descriptor to refer to someone’s history as FTM-transitioned, and the experiences that come with that.

Does this mean the toilet seat can be left up today

Ooh ooh I know this one! A featherless biped

Right, that’s probably what they do, but I’m wondering how they tag it after they select one. Apologies for the confusion

Glad they didn’t cancel it after that lol

Hell yeah

Now I’m curious, you know those gift spots where you can drop them off at like grocery stores and stuff to give to families in need? I wonder if the majority of those are labelled as from Santa, or from the parents? It’d be interesting to do a little survey.

They popularized it, but didn’t truly invent the classic depiction. Related fun fact, Santa used to commonly be green, and he looks pretty cool that way too!

After all, if they could stop believing in Santa–who is so similar to Jesus in every way–then they could stop believing in Jesus.

This is a laughably bad faith interpretation of the issue. Please, please leave this r/atheism exaggerated strawman rhetoric out of this website. I’m pretty sure most people on Lemmy are already atheist anyways.

Yeah, that’s basically saying “Can’t we just ignore the issue?”, which is easy if you’re the one who the issue isn’t affecting.

I just use it to have a merry time with my family. Corporations try to co-opt everything; Christmas is no different. Is Pride about honoring greed and capitalism just because companies make everything rainbow? No, and neither is Christmas even though they try their best with that too. The only difference is buying gifts, but Christmas is about more than that, and homemade gifts are always an option.

That’s a rather rigid view of rhetoric. I know common fallacies have been documented (mostly in infographic form) but the way that you categorize them and how you define them isn’t some immutable law of the universe, and neither are their names. Collections of fallacies aren’t very reliable. More official sources exist but they don’t tend to name very specific fallacies.

Anyways, what really bothers me is this:

Labelling something a fallacy, without understanding whether it is or isn’t, is a subtle form of disinformation.

This represents a fundamental misunderstanding that I cannot allow. Something isn’t a fallacy because some guy said it is; that, ironically, is an Appeal to Authority Fallacy™. Memorizing a list of fallacies by name does not teach you what a fallacy is and it certainly doesn’t grant you understanding like you claim. The list doesn’t decide what a fallacy is. A logical fallacy is simply a mistake or nonrigorous section in an argument that follows a common pattern. If you can identify the pattern, and you can identify that it’s not logically sound, you can call it a fallacy. That’s not disinformation just because you didn’t read about it on logicalfallacies.com.
