    i doubt it, but i would assume you have some sort of anecdotal references somewhere, considering most living people can recall things and discussions with other people, especially more involved ones.

      You asked me how many, not for examples. You’re just moving the goalposts because your original request was not answerable.

        i didn’t ask you for an example, i’m just curious how much of “people trying to convince you” ends up being “people convincing you”

          And I’m telling you I don’t keep a running tally. I have no idea why you expect me to be able to answer that quantitatively.

            which is why i granted you the flexibility of answering the outside of a quantitative fashion, as i don’t expect people to do unreasonable things.

            You then accused me of moving the goalposts (which are my goalposts btw?) in order to make it more answerable, and then refused to answer presumably out of bad faith. I’m literally just curious about how you would conceptualize that.

              I can’t tell you a quantity in a non-quantitative fashion. You want to know how many and the answer remains that I have no idea because I don’t keep count. I’m sorry you don’t like that answer, but it’s still the answer.

              If you want to know how many and don’t accept that I have no idea, feel free to pick a number between zero and infinity and apply it as a rough estimate.

                damn, what a philosopher you are. Fucking plato over here.

                that’s fair, i would assume you have some ability to provide some level of estimation, but maybe that’s just my autism. Or maybe you just shitpost way too much to be able to care about anything you say on the internet lol.

                  I was going to respond to the rest of your post, but I see what you really want is someone to insult and I’m not interested in Reddit behavior.
