The fallacy fallacy. You can look it up on Wikipedia, if you want to know more.


Getting the facts wrong isn't a logical fallacy though. That's a faulty premise.

So fallacy fallacy really doesn't apply here.


Actually it kinda sounds right to me - if your contention with the argument is that the fact is off by a number and would still apply had the person argued or spoken better

When someone dismisses an entire argument because of one error made by the person making the argument, of which the argument doesn't fundamentally depend on.

Often used as a rhetorical trick to distract and change the subject.

E.g.

Person A: "I saw John leaving the building last night wearing some blue jeans"
Person B: "Actually John was wearing blue chinos that day, therefore you didn't see him leave the apartment"

You see this a lot with arguing online, e.g. "All 300 scientists agree on this issue so it's reasonable to believe it is true" and the next person says "actually there were only 280 scientists in total so your argument makes no sense"

Continuing to do something you've already said you don't want to keep doing because you've identified that personally it's not a good habit to maintain = you have an addiction problem


I agree with your entire post but that's not the argument in this topic. We aren't saying there are no addictive tendencies tied to it. Most of us are just arguing that there is no physical withdrawal like there is with pretty much every other thing that qualifies as a drug. Which I have extensive experience in with both types of addiction. Im on medication at this very moment that will make me all types of fucked up if I go cold turkey. When I stop smoking again it's not gonna prevent me from living my life.


My point is that some stoners like to die on the "pot isn't physically addictive to you so there's no problem" hill while never addressing that they might actually have a psychological dependency.

It's always been dumb to me.


I know a lot do. But that wasn't the argument in this topic. Everyone shifted the argument on me. It's exhausting that instead of arguing a side, now Im just trying to correct everyone on what the actual argument was in the 1st place. I can't be too mad though cause I generalize all the time and do the same thing to people.


I wasn't arguing with you at all man, I was addressing the primary questione of this topic.

I didn't watch it either and assume the same. This has nothing to do with your first post coming off as elitist talk


My basic point is that Joe Rogan is your classic "smokes all the damn time, thinks he's super intellectual and will defend weed to the death at every turn" kinda guy. And it's funny to me because he's always got a joint in his mouth. You can relax, I'm just laughing at an obvious uber stoner being somewhat ironic.

Anyway, my two cents

Anything can be addictive, especially a something that can be done habitually and that people can use as a crutch or coping mechanism. Whether weed has the chemical properties that make it biologically dependable doesn't even matter. I know plenty of people who say "I wish I smoked less" but keep smoking lots anyway. Hell a good friend of mine told me this yesterday. She wished she didn't smoke so much pot, because she thinks it affects her anxiety and memory in a negative way, it costs too much money and it makes her lazy. But there she is, doing 4 joints a day minimum.

Continuing to do something you've already said you don't want to keep doing because you've identified that personally it's not a good habit to maintain = you have an addiction problem.

Weird that so many stoners are defensive about this. Maybe because for so long they've had to convince people that pot isn't evil, they've forgotten that that doesn't mean it's entirely harmless either.

Ok I think I'm missing a trick, probably because I made the mistake of assuming the content of the video without watching it.

I assumed Joe Rogan, being the massive stoner pseudo intellectual that he is, would be arguing on the side of "nah man weed isn't addictive it's been proven by science". Is that not the case?

He does not have billions of dollars. He says he does, but he does not. His accountants are good at manipulating tax laws for him though. His sixth bankruptcy was for just under $1b. US banks won't deal with him, which is why he's took money from Russian oligarchs. For a guy who claims to be as rich as he is, he sure hates proving it with tax returns, hey?

It will all come out in the wash soon enough. Cohen, Trump's fixer for the past decade, just got 3 years in prison and said he is planning to tell all.

Often these companies keep it as vague as possible and it takes a number of sales calls to figure out actually what their product is and what they specialise in. They never want to tell you upfront, and that is irritating.

Like instead of all that guff if it went:

- sometimes people ask us to build stuff using code like databases or websites or apps and stuff. We can do that. We have programmers that can do all kinds of stuff from software to hardware in various languages.
- Like if you have one piece of software and another piece of software and you want them to work together, we can probably figure out how to merge those two things so that they talk to each other
- This one time a company asked us why they were losing money so we put in this time tracker system that showed exactly how much time they were spending on calls and projects. Pretty cool.
- Databases are complicated and we can do databases. We can make them, fix them, merge them, export them.
- Basically we'll take any gig if it involves a computer and some nerd shit please employ us

Even Samsung now has the gall to treat this basic technology like a premium feature.

Wait, did Samsung remove the headphone jack from their phones now? :(((

The reason I bought an S8 was because it had a headphone jack and the iPhones didn't...


They brought out a new "A" phone (their mid-range, cheaper line) without a headphone jack, and leaked reports show the new S10 probably has a headphone jack. So basically it feels like they're treating this as a premium flagship feature you only get if you spend $1k+ on a phone.

Obviously samsung fans are furious.

They're furious because there's a headphone jack? I do not understand what you people want.


Keep useful features as standard, don't remove them and then add them back in as a "premium" upgrade.

People celebrate being black/gay/female/other minority because for long periods of time until recent history simply being one of those things was a crime, societal or otherwise.

Being proud to be [marginalised minority] is saying "I am so glad that I can do this now, and will not be oppressed anymore". That doesn't exactly apply to you being white does it? That's never been a problem. It's great to be white, but it's not an achievement, and it's not really something that has ever needed celebrating.

You're basically like a guy who's reflex to hearing a friend say "we're finally having a baby after 3 miscarriages!" is "woah there hunny, I've had a kid too so what's your problem?"
