New Age has a lot in common with Satanism though.

Cats have a lot in common with dogs - four feet, fur, eating meat, etc. Does that make cats and dogs the same species? Obviously, it does not. You have committed the logical fallacy of Affirming the Consequent.

see the thing is…when you are losing your mind you are stressed because you have something to lose but when you’ve lost it you get suddenly/surprisingly calm because you’ve got nothing to lose Thusly—the occurance of beyond losing it in a person makes a formidable opponent To which I present to you characters to exemplify this case: inigo montoya and vizzini Vizzini is losing it—always stressed—overthinks—dies Inigo has lost it—always calm—overthinks—doesn’t die conclusion: “lost your mind” is the best stance to take—for when you allow your mind to be lost you gain skills

Current (incorrect) logic:

But then also what do I truly deeply not want and what have I trained myself not to want in some act of self preservation or self sabotage 😑

editing is so funny because it's like "damn, i wrote 'before' two times within three paragraphs. they are going to stone me in the town square for this"

Finally caught up with Apothecary Diaries. I can't believe they gave Maomao a gun.

ekko describing jinx from his timeline to powder as someone who's just different but whose ideas change the world. jayce saying to machine herald!viktor that his imperfections are a part of everything that made him so admirable. powder getting mesmerized when she sees different timeline!ekko before he leaves. jayce building his whole life around the idea he got from different timeline!viktor when he saved him. love does transcend reality after all

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet

"but the least you could do is show us respect.". How much respect does Louis owe you when larries harrased his dying mother for loving her first grandchild? How much respect do you deserve when the twins and Fizzy asked you not to bring their dead mother into you conspiracy theory? They said Jay had to delete Freddie's pictures because she was not there to delete those nasty comments under her posts to defend her grandchild? Ignore this ask, don't answer it and both me and Louis will know exactly how much respect do larries like you deserve. Marketing does demand that Louis "loves all his fans" and caters to all his fans but would you? If you were Louis? After everything those fans did to his mother and sister? To his family? He isn't as good as Harry at controlling his feelings and playing along for his job. Isnt as professional. As detached. Louis does have a mouth on him and a temper. No marketing can force him to love people who hurt his loved ones. Dead loves ones. 

I seriously don't know where to begin with analyzing the bad arguments in this one...

Shall I start with the strawman argument? "but the least you could do is show us respect" is not referring to anything I remember to have said on this blog recently - you're hastily generalizing from one perceived Larrie to all perceived Larries and just copy pasting this into any mailboxes that are not tired of your whining and still open. Not worthy of my time answering.

But perhaps you foresaw this, so you put in the manipulative "Ignore this ask, don't answer it and both me and Louis will know exactly how much respect do Larries like you deserve." This, ladies gents and non binary folks reading this blog, is an interesting combination of the manipulative argument from fear (trying to scare me into publishing with the argument that Louis otherwise will have no respect for me, but that doesn't make anything of what the anon says more valid) - and an argument from silence ("if you say nothing, it will mean I am right" - but again, silence means silence, it doesn't say anything about who is right or wrong).

A lot of generalizations and appeals to emotion here in the parts of the argument that could potentially have some merit. Again appeals to emotion are not good arguments. But, stripping those away, your argument seems to go something like :

"Anyone who believes that Louis and Harry are/were in a relationship deserves no respect because some people who believed that Louis and Harry were in a relationship were disrespectful towards Louis' family members (at a particular difficult time in their lives)." While there is some merit in the underlying assumption that respect is something that needs to be earned and implies some reciprocity, that's still a fallacy of composition or a hasty generalization, you assume that anything that's true of some people who believed that Louis and Harry were in a relationship, is true of all people that believe that Louise and Harry are/were in a relationship.

What's really interesting though, and the reason why, despite my great distaste for manipulations like yours ("if you don't answer this will mean I'm right" is one of those that usually gets an automatic delete from me) , I decided to answer this ask, is this:

In one part of your argument, you say that Jay felt she had to delete pictures of Freddie because she could not defend her grandson after her death. And you spend quite a bit of words on emphasizing that this hurts Louis' dead loved ones.

And in another part of your argument, you say the following things about Louis himself: "He isn't good at controlling his feelings and playing along for his job. He isn't as professional. He has a mouth on him. He has a temper."

So (some) Larries are bad, because they hurt Louis' loved ones by suggesting Freddie might not really be his son, but a means to hide that he is gay. This would have massively hurt his dead mother.

But you can call him unprofessional and say he has a mouth on him and is ill-tempered, and this wouldn't hurt Louis? Or his dead mother?

Double standards much?

I love the sneak peek of LeBlanc and Vladimir's dynamic.

Vladimir *walks in*: "Wow that last plan almost destroyed the world. Can we tone it down next time? Maybe talk to Mel"

LeBlanc *slowly as she paints more schemes on her magic ipad*: "noooooo".

Vladimir: "......*confused*"

LeBlanc: "The next plan needs to endanger our lives even worse."
