Please, please just let poor Bing die. Things will never get better for it, and it should be allowed to rest rather than being clumsily reanimated into a different kind of failure.

I have felt this deep down for a while, just watching modern 'discourse'. Hard to put it into words, and hard to find the energy once you make the realization of the scale of the problem.

Is it ever valuable to just straight up end discourse with a power move, like just labelling them a coward for not addressing your point, since all they're about are optics in that case.

How does one defend against this in practice without looking like you're falling behind, or requiring you to address the method of argument rather than staying on topic? Straw men are a clearly useless logical too, but are often still used to effect debate outcomes by derailing the opponent. I absolutely hate this, and there must be a response... would it help to have a steelman ready to reshape your own point immediately after they stramwan it, to give them a tougher fight, or force them to strawman again which might catch with the audience as bad faith more clearly?

I think that's the truth behind the OP, if you're able to put someone else first and show you can consider their needs at least the same as you consider yours, then you can probably apply that instinct to a small human as well.

I have two cats, and they let me pick them both up, and hold them at the same time. Take that as you will.

They should have presented the forecast taxpayer cost of life in prison for this guy to the jury during their considerations.
