Omg I’m not a crackhead but I did enjoy hitting the ski slopes in my 20s and I knew exactly what you meant right away

I think you’re right and she was confused but that sort of illustrates the point. If someone is arguing a fallacy that is easily proven a fallacy then it indicates to me that they are generally going to be an unreliable source of information.
This.
I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen “tank man” incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn’t share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.
When I said “the incident did happen and there’s photographic evidence” she told me "Google it there’s no photo "
Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There’s more than one, actually.
I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument “that photo is known to be staged.”

No fucking clue myself but isn’t airdrop an iPhone thing?
