Also, just because you're the only one still using quotes doesn't make you better. I used them earlier, and didn't cut parts out. But you've been cutting bout context of posts with quotes, then acting like there was no context. Or cutting out pieces of a quote and acting like I said something that meant something different then what I quoted because half or more of the quote is gone. Even in quotes from these 13 posts, I've seen it a couple times. You almost split up many posts that actually go together. Which is another reason I don't quote. Because I'd have to quote 2 of your quotes together since you split up my quotes that would go together. And that could also make posting harder since it could mess up how I have to split the messages. It's take a few second to highlight each quote. But it adds on time for some much other stuff. Like when posting. I would have to post at least 13 quotes. And because my post are quoting your whole quote (instead of cutting them), and my post are usually longer, that means I'll probably have at least 19-26 posts. And you can only post twice per minute. I'd rather have 6 (or however many this is) instead of 26. That's the difference of at least 10 minutes for posting. Especially since all this stuff I say would be in the quotes, while also adding the quotes. It's a ridiculous amount, though. Anybody can see that. And I actually do know how to pull a quote. I was doing that earlier. But it was taking too long. And it was honestly useless. And made it hard to have a coherent conversation since many random parts of the conversation were split up. This is not only much quicker altogether. But I can also keep certain parts of the conversation in the same spot. Also, I have to keep finding the last message quoted and quote the next. Which has almost caused me to skip a whole post once. Luckily, I caught it and was able to reply to it. But that could easily happen again. And with 13 post, it sometimes takes time to find the right one. Therefore, I make it easier by just writing a long message. You should try it so it doesn't take 13 messages to say the same wrong info that you keep posting... And if you want to know a secret, I do actually quote all your post. I email them to myself at work to write the reply when I have free time at work since I don't write the replies at home. I just leave the replies out so I can send a shorter reply, and in less messages. Since I had to cut many of the other messages shorter because of either too many quotes, or too long of a message. Which make more messages, which is a pain in itself. So, I can't even try to split them up early... and obviously, the massive wall of text is much short since I only had 6 post instead of the 13+ I probably would have had to send otherwise.

You also act like quoting would help, but it wouldn't. For example, when you said I was deliberately misconstructing your argument about places like Wal-Mart and Target not getting more checks it lines, that's not true (post #164 quote #2) . This whole time, I've been saying Target and Wal-Mart should get more because they can afford it. I even said, "You're talking about a small business. I'm talking about the bigger ones. The ones that actually have self-checkout machines and aren't getting more. The ones you think will wait for cheaper ones. Businesses should absolutely get better ones. Getting older ones is just throwing away money. Small businesses may need some extra time (though 30 years seems like quite a bit of time). But that's if they even need self-checkout, which many don't for mom and pop style shops. But big businesses should always be thinking in the long run." So, no. If anyone is deliberately misconstructing arguments, it's you... I literally said I was talking about bigger stores...

And a personal anecdote is sharing a short story, according to the internet. And what I said wasn't a story. I just asked other people either a question or asked for an opinion and posted what they said. Like when I asked everybody about basically everything we talked about here and told you what they said. It's sharing their opinions or answers. But not a personal anecdote. Examples of personal anecdotes that the internet gives are:

-I once had a border collie. She was so smart. Every morning, I'd open up the front door and she'd run out, pick up the newspaper, and deliver it to my husband at the breakfast table.

-Oh, I love Ireland! I visited the west coast six times last year. Have you ever been to Kilmacduagh? It's an old monastery where the winds whip with songs of the deceased who are laid to rest there.

-Is that a white rose? Wow! I love them. My grandfather had a massive rose garden, over 200 different species. Every Friday, he'd go out into the garden, clip a dozen, and make my grandmother a bouquet. Does love like that exist anymore?

Me saying, "I've literally asked most people I know in real life that I speak with on at least a weekly basis about this. Nobody except for people on this board think everything will be free. The closest was a friend that said what you said which was, "Money is a concept of human labor."" isn't a personal anecdote. It's closer to the results of a sample group of study. And last part was just telling you what one person actually said. And he honestly disagrees with nearly everything else you said... And obviously you saw some sort of problem since you just dismissed it...

And you may think my reasoning is basic, but that's how it is. For context, people already use machines to make a bunch of stuff. And that stuff still cost money. Even though machines make them. And some of it cost a lot. Because they still have to get money and make a profit. They also have to make enough to get more material, as well... That way, they can keep making more of the product... and you tried musing confirmation bias earlier, and you were wrong. And wrong here again. You're the one using confirmation bias, if anything. You're just assuming you're right when history actually shows us you're wrong. If you were right, then all those factories when things are built by machines would be giving us stuff for free. But they aren't. Sometimes, they don't even make it cheaper. Because they want profit... But if you think things will change, where are they getting free material. Because the person mining/making the material with robots will charge for it since he needs that money to survive and maintain his robots. The parts aren't free. And will never be. The problem is there's not way to end money. And robots themselves will cost money to buy and maintain. So, people will still need money to live...

And when I said literally everyone, it was obviously the figurative literally. Obviously, there are people that live in a fantasy world where they think everything will be free. But you can pretend not to understand what I meant. Especially since I was the one who basically said that it wasn't actually everyone... Like is the very next sentence... Also, if I'm using the Alleged Centainty fallacy, you're also using it, but just with the opposite opinion... There's nothing that proves your side except guessing that things will be free for no real reason...
