comment: the game kirby for gameboy has code written for it which polls the registers for the status of the button inputs
reply: its a strawman (not) argument to give and example of very generic code to (not) showcase the absolutism of a statement that is all inclusive (every) to remove nuance from an argument.
rere: nuance and also, how dare you hint that i want “to look smart”. i want to look like a comment but now you made me blush
//== . ==// the above comment is blushing
totally agree and have ti remind my partner’s daughter of the dangers of absolutism because there was a time where what she says would be an attack against me. i use it to explain how absolutism leaves no room for a nonbinary state. it either is 100% or 0%. no wigfgle room. two polarized sides of the coin. and the danger with “all coins” is that there isnt a transitory or neutral ground foe ideas to be heard, entertained, and not echo chambered. and anyone who tries to get forced to the other side, where they honestly might face more harm. so absolutism further divides, and does nothing to repair and repect that differences exist, should be accounted for and respected. and yes, i would respect the sex offender who might live down my street. why? because i want them to have a safe area for them, away from me and my family. i want them to feel like humanity wont abandon them and that they have room to grow. so yes “all men” deserve the same attention and respect, even the selecr few poopy ones because otherwise “no man” will feel they can speak up at a party without being chastised by the whole and forced to the other side of a binary coin that sees them as a monster like they see “all men”.
