    You have remarkable audacity for continuing to argue the point while also boasting about how you’ll ignore any information that isn’t spoon fed to you in your format of choice. Sooner or later, you’re going to miss something that way and make an ass of yourself, if that didn’t already just happen in front of our eyes.

      God forbid I actually read sources, and prefer reading to taking heads on a video platform that is designed to waste people’s time in endless content crawls.

      You call me audacious yet here you are stepping into a discussion to try your best to belittle and chastise an internet stranger with a different opinion.

        I went to college for English Lit so please don’t lecture me on the virtues of reading. God forbid you stoop to get all the information you can. You are acting like an ass and I’m letting you know. I didn’t get up this morning to chastise you.

        If there’s any doubt in your mind what you did:

        1: “this video says you’re wrong” 2: “well I don’t watch videos dahling.” (flips hair, draws on cigarette)

        See we’re not strangers anymore. You’re that fucking guy who did that fucking thing.

          I gave MY preferences for reading, note the use of the phrase “I prefer”. I did not extoll the virtues of reading. It’s a shame your English Lit exposure in college didn’t extend to education on logical fallacies, because you use them a lot.

          1: “this video says you’re wrong” 2: “well I don’t watch videos dahling.” (flips hair, draws on cigarette)

          1: User actually said “contrails are completely avoidable”. 2: I said that’s factually untrue. My disdain for a youtube link on a comment thread discussion was literally my post scriptum.

          You have a massive chip on your shoulder about people who don’t want to watch videos for science news, that’s clear - but I don’t care to hear any more about it. Maybe take a breath and reflect on context. We’re in the comments section on a ‘nottheonion’ news post about goddamn JFK banning chemtrails because he thinks DARPA is secretly impregnating them with experimetnal chemicals. Y’know… wackadoo shit.

          Have a great weekend & life, I will no longer respond.
