@Maw misleading would imply deception. Which is a Lie?
Which is why it's considered a half-truth, yes.
@Maw okay... A Half Lie?
Half truth. Potato-potahto.
@William Dinan Sometimes, for sure.
@Zuluzeit I was trying to figure out how to type that exact thing 🤓
Sometimes?.... What is the other half than?
Thinking in absolutes is 40% ridiculous.
:D
@Chrystal💗 lol I worked out the phonetics a while back, after years of potato-potato missing its mark.
@Maw. 60% correct than. Better than Half Truths?....lol
Half truths don't mean 50-50.
Stop thinking in absolutes.
Language is rarely this literal.
Only the Sith deals in absolutes.
This is next-level pedantry.
@Maw, you just advanced to level 29!
Lmao.
Hahaha
@William Dinan Language is rarely meant to be interpreted completely literally.
Hence, phenomena such as half truths.
Some politicians are successful precisely because of that.
Some.
Lol
@Maw I am unable to hear tone, volume or observe Body language in a Text Chat. Other than that I would agree. I can only observe the written Word!
'He was joking.' 'It's just how he talks.' 'It was locker room talk.'
You get the idea.
@William Dinan If that were not a half-truth, then Zulu would look like a really weird, fringe republican most of the time.
I can generally determine when he's being sarcastic versus when he's not.
Via text.
"Well that's a pretty ridiculous thing to say."
"he's probably being sarcastic."
Sarcasm can be a defense mechanism for true feelings?
"I was only Kidding"....
Eh? Are you insinuating Zulu is some sort of strange conservative or something?
No. My statement didn't say that.
Hence why I asked you rather than accused you.
I understood your question.
@leftingfighter33 Calm down, no insinuating people should be hung, please. That's beyond ridiculous levels of rhetoric.
