Reply to comment by BlueLightAlarm in Denmark to scrap public holiday to pay for NATO spending by Zhukov-74

Eh, the bots got to me so I edited this to stop getting the notifications (sorry i didnt decide to care about war now that it's white people killing each other- i thought it was racist to suddenly care just because they're white)

Your argument is that you only want to pay your insurance premiums when your house is actively flooding.

All nonflood times, no insurance! Its genius!

Nice strawman but, honestly didn't have an argument as much as I'm apathetic to the topic and found the concept of trading time as a currency entertaining. But if you're asking when I'd prefer to pay for insurance, of course I'd prefer to pay after i know I'd need it. Would be a dumb deal to buy flood insurance for a locale with < a foot annual rainfall, right?

My bad for looking for humor ig lol the world has been on fire for too long to let every spark spook me. If you're young enough to feel like this is the first time, I envy the cognitive dissonance.

Surprisingly enough, I can get a good idea to have good insurance in an area like that. Depending on the terrain, really dry places can have flash flooding issues when it does rain.

Surprisingly enough y'all dont understand what a strawman is? Why i put hypothetical annual rainfall instead of just "dry climate"

Since parched soil is terrible at water drainage.. but just assume i'm saying the least amount possible with my words to try and pull an "ackshully"

That's just how reddit goes. Y'all are definitely the smartest people in the room, I can tell.

Maybe I'm just more comfortable admitting my apathy towards war rather than suddenly pretending to care now that it's white people bombing each other instead of just bombing people folks in the desert.. all y'all can do is downvote, why should your opinion matter to me?

It's only become popular to care about war now that it's white people dying? No thanks

I hope you are joking. I would trade each of my accrued PTO days for any amount of less war.

Theres another reply in this very thread that explains at length that I'm simply apathetic about the war. Note how you didn't even get to see my take before offering your opinion on it- lmfao

But literacy isnt reddit's strong suit- Take note how no reply tried to engage any idea, just "folks" spewing their knee-jerk reactions, much like yours. (Which is why taking away the top part of the thread is an effective tactic to get lemmings to stop pretending to engage, like taking away the headline from idiots who only read the headline)

Dont worry though, you have the correct opinion, I believe in you. You're definitely the smartest people in the room.
