This is someone, who made a thread talking about how much her man worships her, realizing that he never once asked to draw her like one of his French girls.

Jen likes to shit on mens happiness. She will never be a parent anyway thankfully.

Hes a car salesman. Not exactly a beacon for moral superiority.

Hes temporarily helping out his friend, who owns a dealership, sell cars. Not exactly a beacon for moral superiority.

Fixed that for you.

True story

Is he really a Jen simp if he's dunking on you? I feel like he'd do that whether Jen was in the topic or not

Man makes positive topic.

Is HornedLion the new lihlih or something

your wifes face in the drawing says why tf is he just doodling on his pad instead of helping me w this baby

I mean, I've sold a car. That hardly makes me a car salesman. If he says that's something he's doing on the side and not his actual job, I'm not sure why you would be this insistent on not taking that at face value.

Granted, all of that started with a pretty flimsy ad hominem, so expecting sensible logic may be unreasonable on my end.

Did you have a stroke recently?

Again with the flimsy ad hominem in lieu of saying anything constructive. You should really work on that temper of yours.

adjl, Im not sure if you know this, but a lot of people have sold cars.

Selling a car and then going into a topic about car prices and describing yourself as someone who sells cars are two different things.

Between this and FarQueues topic youve really gone off the rails lately.

Which, in turn, are different things from being identifiable as a car salesman (read: somebody whose primary job it is to sell cars).

Okay adjl. The guy helping to sell cars for a dealership isnt a car salesman. Got it. Jesus fucking Christ

Maybe it's a love-hate relationship?

I think maybe adjl got tired of absolutely dunking on the conservatrolls of the board, and now that Link is in purg he's picked up the mantle of Devil's Advocate, driven by a healthy dose of boredom, and spite for those who are not his intellectual equal

It's a classic villain backstory. We're witnessing the birth of PotD's Dr Doom

I guess so. At least TC will know that he doesnt have to put car salesman down on his 1040 come tax season since its not his primary job.

If he doesn't consider it to be his job, then identifying him as a car salesman is indeed incorrect. At some point, depending on just how much he's making from it, he may officially have to change that stance for tax reasons, but regardless of how that pans out I expect he's still going to be in a better position to assess that than you are.

None of which, of course, changes the fact that your point was never anything more than flimsy ad hominem and can safely be completely disregarded by pretty much every sensible person.

Nah, nothing's really changed. You've each just said more things lately that I think are incorrect. I understand that being on the receiving end of such unbridled intellectual ferocity for a change may come as enough of a shock that you might think there's been a larger change than that, but there hasn't really.

Thats definitely true. He couldve also gotten an accounting degree and had to study tax law like I did.

Guys, why do this when a certain somebody is sitting by her PC like:

Did your accounting degree cover the importance of making sure you have actual numbers before drawing conclusions from those numbers?

Im on vacation while playing Vampire Survivors on my Steam Deck. Idk what mad is.

Edit: But if Im going to be bestowed the title of Salty I might as well:

It covered the knowledge of declaring all income for the year, and turns out that I sell is a pretty declarative phrase.

but heres the part where you can say maybe hes working for free, so theres your out.

This dude is really doing this on vacation a whole mess

So... everyone that sells a car in a given year should declare themselves to be a car salesperson for that year? Or is there a threshold that must be exceeded before identifying it as an occupation?

Cacciato posted...

Also an option.

This is a funny argument but I think that a guy who is currently working at a dealership selling cars would be called a car salesman even if it's a short term gig. He'll have to file his taxes for it and that's what his occupation would be

In all likelihood, that is indeed what his taxes will probably say (unless he's doing it for free, as mentioned), but for colloquial conversation purposes I'd still be inclined to defer to how he identifies his career instead of insisting on my own identification. Whether side hustles need to be declared on tax forms or not, they're still just side hustles and people don't consider them to be their actual job. There are cases where you can point out that somebody's spending more time on and making more money from their side hustle than their "real job" and should maybe consider pivoting into focusing more on it, but it's still going to be a matter of people deciding for themselves how to identify their career.

i mean, you did the stirring if you revealed personal desire on potd lmao

No. Thats ridiculous. But when you combine I know I sell them [cars] with a correction of temporarily helping out his friend, who owns a dealership, sell cars then I think its safe to guess that through his own admission HES SELLING CARS.

Fuck it, adjl, you win. The guy that admitted to selling cars at a place that sells cars, for the guy that owns the place that sells cars isnt a car salesman. I dont know what to tell you, because Im not even going to bother with the accounting stance at this point.

Yes, now we're getting somewhere. Simply performing a job - even with all the context that would normally be present when somebody does that job as a career - does not mean a person has to identify that job as part of their professional identity. That's entirely a matter of what role that job plays in the person's life. It's not even necessarily a time/money thing, the classic example of which being an actor who works full-time at Starbucks because acting can't pay all the bills: They still identify as an actor and not a barista because that's what they're focusing their professional aspirations on. Similarly, identifying as a student and not a fast food worker, even though fast food work accounts for literally 100% of their labour hours and income.

Again, this is going to differ from what's counted for tax purposes. The IRS needs to fit everybody and all of their incomes into boxes for statistical analysis purposes, so that's what they do. In our colloquial conversations, however, we're capable of more nuance than the IRS can muster in trying to fit 300 million people into a drop-down list. We don't need to think in terms of "if you make money doing X then you are an X'er" and can instead just listen to people when they tell us what their vocation is/is not.

And, of course, not a single word of any of this changes the fact that "he's a car salesman so of course he can't be trusted" is a textbook logical fallacy, which is a more salient point than the question of whether or not you got the details of your ad hominem correct.
