what the hell is this

vlady is flat-out savaging some strawman with the nerdiest condescension possible.

vlads post is too many words, all i saw was he turned mcdonalds into a hairy wiener in the last pic

Cactus won't admit that driveway functions as a definition for all property

wrong. learn how to read.

vladykins @ 25/7/2017 13:34

and thinks it should only be used for a roadway connecting a house to a cottage house on your property.

wrong. learn how to read.

vladykins @ 25/7/2017 13:34

Also, if 90%+ of the rest of the population uses a term a certain way but it is different from his understanding, it is a "colloquialism" in his eyes.

wrong. learn how to read.

I'm waiting for him to argue "What is this thing you call a doorway? It's a portal, dammit!"

why not respond to what i actually say instead of having a temper tantrum about claims i never made and positions i don't hold. it's really weird. everything okay at home?

Too much bullshit in this thread ... thanks vlady

None of what I have said is wrong. Ape even pointed out the "Cactus having to prove he is smarter than everyone" comment in the thread. When pointed out you are incorrect, you attempt to change what you have said, or state that you were joking. Or now "It's a colloquialism." I know your ego can't take being wrong and we accept that. It doesn't make you anymore right.

(Counting moments until he drops a link to a time he admits he is wrong in order to "prove" he isn't being stubborn about being wrong *this* time).

vlady, buddy. you're getting a little out of control.

if you really want, i can walk you through all the wrong things you've said. or if you'd just like a small taste, how about the fact that i was the one who consistently said that driveways are private roads, yet you say shit like "Now, you will note that the definition that has been put forward multiple times to you is that a driveway typically is a private "road" that connects access to a public road". sigh. this is why i've accused you of a strawman and have been telling you to learn how to read. you keep violently agreeing with me and it's gettng annoying.

i realize you put a lot of effort into your post, but maybe you should take a step back and think about how you sound. what does your dripping condescension say about your ego? in fact, even this post of yours that i'm replying to right now says way more about you than it does me. i went well out of my way to say that that there was no right/wrong answer here, yet you insist on having a fight about it. why?

i guess i'll repeat (yet again) that there are "no hard and fast rules, and the definitions vary greatly by locale and industry and jurisdiction. repeating that just in case." and i'll repeat (yet again) that i was only interested in the way people thought of these things, because it seems regional. and i'll repeat (yet again) that i've been having a soda -vs- pop discussion, not a vlady-is-an-overly-emotional-pumpkinpants-because-he-says-one-instead-of-the-other discussion. are you getting this nuance at all? i don't care how people use the word 'driveway', nor do i care if we use it the same way, nor do i think my way is better, nor have i claimed that it's more common. please stop pretending otherwise.

and it's fine that you think it can only be used one way, but i haven't disagreed with that either! there is zero disagreement between us except for what you've conjured up in that fevered imagination of yours. to put a point on it:
(1) "When pointed out you are incorrect" <-- is impossible, unless you're the sort of person who thinks i would be incorrect for having a favorite color
(2) "you attempt to change what you have said" <--- is an absolute lie
(3) "or state that you were joking" <-- is something i often have to do because you don't get jokes
(4) "Or now "It's a colloquialism." <-- do you need a dictionary?
(5) "I know your ego can't take being wrong and we accept that." <-- it's like you're trying to troll a mirror
(6) "It doesn't make you anymore right." <--- it's as if you don't understand how language works

at this point, you need to decide what kind of day you want to have. seriously.

p.s. (Counting moments until vlady makes another one of these little parting asides where he pretends something will happen just so he can whine about it. it's like some preteen from 2007 just got broadband and is trying to trollolol people.)

i'm going again see you all in 5 months

As Ape said:

Primate

I guess it must be a colloquialism since you are playing your "cat pretends he is smarter than everyone" game?

Is this where I say it is a joke and then I am supposed denigrate you for missing an "obvious" joke? Since I clearly don't get all your "obvious" points, despite the fact that you spent time discussing stuff which doesn't apply (levelness of driveway, requiring private residences, etc.), I'm just trying to make sure I keep up with the latest part of the discussion.

did you know that all racists are right because they agree with each other?

p.s. no one ever said that driveways have to be perfectly level (or perfectly straight). the claim was that they are more level (and straight) than drives, which are clearly neither. also, no one ever said that driveways require private residences. this the the part where i accuse you of strawmen and tell you again to learn how to read. we done yet?

hey!! fuck you fake Igor
