    The original article is about putting a child into solitary confinement. You don’t even need to read the article. But keep moving those goalposts…

    Is it really that much harder to just admit you were wrong (or literally just take the L and not respond at all) than doubling down on something so easily disproven?

    The mindset is just fascinating to me.

        But… You moved the goalposts?

        Lol, I guess I gotta admire the effort you’re willing to go through to avoid admitting you might have said something wrong.

        But no. You can’t just judo flip the conversation like that when you get called out for saying stupid fucking shit.

          Just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Ever heard of opinions? I guess not.
