    People are naturally going to have the reactions they do to Elon Musk. If the news outlets didn’t constantly put him in the spotlight more people would probably be willing to read the article and learn about the trial and the science. As it is I’m not surprised people didn’t read the article.

    I’m not particularly invested in either side of this which makes me a pretty unbiased third party simply pointing out that neither of you is making the community better with these kinds of comments. If you had quoted relevant parts from the article that would have been a better way to convey what you meant.

    And mostly because you responded to me.

      This is hilarious. You responded to me first, I only addressed you have you jumped in. You are also not “unbiased” because you didn’t read the article either and defended the assumption, accusing me of assuming too. But not only that but making false assumptions about my position and then accusing me of being on a high horse. And you’re trying to pretend youre some neutral party. Lol

      Whatever, my man. You want to let ignorant judgments go unaddressed, be my guest, but I’m going to people over here and call it out like it should be.

          My comment had nothing to do with the article.

          You were talking about how we (me and the top level commentor) were both fair in our assumption about what kind of person was that was willing to undergo the procedure. And the article is about people willing to undergo the procedure. So you were absolutely talking about the article. Not only that, but incorrectly claiming that my position was based on being equally as ignorant as you and the top level commentor, when my position was actually based on being knowledgeable by reading the comment.

            Because you both made assumptions. Just because your assumptions were not about the article itself doesn’t mean that you didn’t make assumptions.

              The assumption you claimed I made was in relation to a fact I stated that’s in the article. Wtf are you on about, specifically?

                No. The assumption was that the other person had the context you had from the article, and chose to call someone stupid. But I don’t know why you’re even bothering with this. You obviously don’t agree and that’s fine.

                  You’re attempting to change what you accused me of assuming. But in your attempt to be not wrong, you made yourself even more wrong.

                  I made no assumption that they read the article. I was actually pretty sure they didn’t, in typical Lemmy fashion.

                  So it’s not actually you assuming. Lol

                  And why do you keep on acting like I’m the only one keeping this conversation going? You’ve responded to me as much as I’ve responded to you.
