Yeah, that provides better insights. This one may be the most apt in this context:
I guess I’m alone in feeling gratitude that I’m not at the mercy of my illness anymore. Apparently, it’s more common to feel Superior to other poor saps who can’t get medical care. I don’t compare myself to “those people” because I was one of those people and it SUCKED. I hope no one has to be one of “those people.”
Then I’m alone. Ah well. Still wish everyone had great health coverage.
He thinks you’re humble bragging about your awesome healthcare, not your feelings. The projection is so strong in this one that his smallness can’t help but show even in his insults.
Why do you suppose that is? Maybe because your views on other things make it a pretty natural assumption? You seem to have turned the douchiness up this last week or so, too.
You’re not alone in feeling gratitude or wishing everyone had even basic health coverage. I was lucky I had insurance. But it made me aware of how we would’ve been financially devastated if I hadn’t, and to how many people either can’t afford their treatment or are indeed financially ruined. A compassionate person gives a shit about things like that. No matter how much** Slacker **wants his feeling of superiority to be normal, it isn’t. It’s certainly widespread, however. But normal? No.
I have the best healthcare package in this country (tricare) and my prevailing feeling is guilt. Guilt that me and my family have reaped the benefits of socialized medicine, while there are others who have to scrounge for loose change in their couch to pay for their life-essential insulin.
As noted early, on issues like alleged origins about the differences of intelligence among “races”, lukewarm climate chance, and “centrist” anti-GMO stance, the evidence shows that SlackerInc continues to be unaware about how the sources he relies on grossly misleads people like him.
As his latests efforts show, it has to be added to all that that he also falls easily for asinine sources regarding late term abortion, health care, incels and feminism.
Merrily continuing to strawman away, I see. If someone read these posts in isolation, they would see a picture painted of someone who opposes universal health coverage and relishes seeing people go into medical bankruptcy. Have you really somehow deluded yourself into thinking this is true, or are you just trying to make some distorted case to spin readers you hope have not actually read what I really have to say about this?
ORLY? Like this post from yesterday, in the next Pit thread over?
Well, one thing to add as a clarification is not more flattering. I add that while you are not going full throttle into right wing lala land, it is just that you do not have much of an aptitude in identifying what would be an appropriate source of information to use even when trying to reach for a middle ground on a subject, a “middle ground” that is also compromised beforehand by the silly sources that you rely on.
GIGO, you still need more ESL classes to interact effectively on this board. I’m sure what you know is perfectly adequate for ordering at a restaurant or checking into a hotel though.
Are you going on this again? Do you realize that everyone else has absolutely no problem reading Gigo’s posts, and he has probably less* typos and errors than most posters on this board?
If you have problems following his posts, that is entirely on you and you reading comprehension. I get it that it’s the pit and insults are to fly here, but this picking on him due to your knowledge that he speaks at least one more language than you do just makes you look petty and stupid.
*fewer
What evidence is there that he speaks more languages than I do? I am currently making extra money translating a self published author’s novel from French to English.
ETA: But I would still be reluctant to post on a Francophone board like this one.
I mean if more of us spoke affected-dipshit it might help Slacker out.
Sorry for the author. I guess if you are self publishing, then you don’t really have many options, and you go with the lowest bidder.
That you claim to struggle with GIGO’s posts anytime that you just don’t want to answer them makes me think that you are still need more EFL classes, though your English is probably almost adequate for locating a bathroom, but obviously not yet good enough to find the library.
Seriously, in the post that you called out, what was the grammar or syntax issue, caused by GIGO’s use of English as a second language, that you were unable to understand?
Yeah, I forgot to mention that besides falling for misleading information about the differences of intelligence among “races”, lukewarm climate chance, “centrist” anti-GMO, late term abortion, health care, incels and feminism, he also likes to reach for the grammar nazi gambit as an excuse to not have to deal with the point one makes.
As others like you showed, I may have problems with English, but it is not hard to see what is the point.
So, we will see if the Slacker still thinks that a hack like Lomborg is still a good source of information to rely on regarding the issue of climate change for example.
It’s true that I bid lower than others, not having a degree or anything. But she has been rapturous about the results.
And fine, that one was less garbled than most. Good for you, GIGO!
BTW, my Spanish is probably better than most people who have taken five years in high school, although not nearly as good as my French. And I took a year of Russian in high school, with the second semester being moved to Russian II because I had lapped the rest of the class. I can still parse Cyrillic and engage in basic pleasantries.
Avoidance of the fact that you are still not acknowledging that Lomborg is a hack is duly noted.
Comparing yourself to people who took 5 years to complete high school may not be as flattering as you think it is.
