Isn’t that price gouging? Isn’t price gouging illegal?
you thought it was a crime for them to increase their prices, and supposedly not a crime against one particular person.
But I was making fun of your dramatic attack on the company as engaging in an “unjustifiable” price increase. You’ve been incredibly dramatic about nothing, and it’s funny.
Making fun of people isn’t really lying in common parlance. But I don’t suppose you talk or think like anybody else, huh?
no, rhetorical hyperbole is not exclusively used as an after-the-fact justification to explain lies. Anybody unfortunate enough to be reading this deep into the converati
You still went from “it’s totally uunjustifiable” and “it’s price gouging, that’s illegal!” to “Am I the only one who would prefer Netflix not raise its prices? Because I’m pretty sure I’m not.” Nobody said we preferred for Netflix to raise its prices. Nobody said or implied that you were alone in that preference. You “lied” – which is to say, you framed the debate in an incredibly dramatic and silly way to try to make your point, which I addressed in the previous comment, which is that your definition of “unjustifiable” is rooted in your personal preference, and not in any actual concept of justifiability.
You’re sad that you might need to spend $2-4 more every month to keep the pretty pictures and sounds coming into your face. I get that, we all are, that’s why I posted it. You’re being dramatic and weird about it.
I also never said “it’s totally unjustifiable.” I did not use the word “totally.” That is lie number two. I also asked if price gouging is illegal, I did not declare it. I will be generous and group those both into lie #2.
you’re calling me a liar because I’m not literally quoting you, but you’ve been using straw men through the entire thread. Do you know why neurotypical people don’t do that?
No, I’m just trying to help you understand the thing you clearly have trouble understanding.
Jokes are not lies, especially when nobody intends for anybody anywhere to be deceived and nobody is deceived. Your failure to understand that social concept doesn’t make you a bad person, but it’s a social concept you might want to try to understand instead of just calling people liars.
And you are not entitled to pay the price you want to pay for Netflix. They need no justification to increase their prices.
no, but you’re the only one who thinks that it’s a crime against humanity
When did I say it was a crime against humanity or even imply such a thing?
Please quote me.
Unless that’s a lie, of course.
Was it a lie?
well, right up front:
you thought it was a crime for them to increase their prices, and supposedly not a crime against one particular person.

This is what you said:
I’d call that a lie. Looks like a lie to me. That you can’t support it shows that it’s a lie.
You can’t even own your own lie. You have to pull the Donald Trump “it was just a joke” card. Kind of pathetic really.
okay, you don’t know what a joke is, fine.

Yep. I’m calling you a liar because you put things you claimed I said in quotation marks when I never said them.
And are you using autism as an insult really?
No, I’m just trying to help you understand the thing you clearly have trouble understanding.

Dude, you should probably go to sleep or take a walk around or something if you’re this heated over absolutely nothing.
I’m not heated.
