Anyone have an example of this? I think my brain is skipping. I don't get it.
I can't think of a
good
example.
OK, "Aliens live among us. You don't agree? Then how do you know they don't?" I mean, the logical flaw is obvious in that example. But as a rhetorical device, the flaw doesn't have to be obvious, and a non-obvious one would make a better example.
I think you can go to any political blog and find examples of it Allyson. People who employ it tend to make me want to spew so I avoid them.
Okay, that makes sense. Is that a play on "The Lurkers Support Me in Email" do you think?
I want a milkshake, which is weird, since I don't normally like them very much.
It would be really cool if I could work out how to get Project to show me a list of the tasks with completion dates in the next two weeks in a format I can cut and paste into emails or Word.
It is weird that I'm not sure how much of the silhouette of my shoulders is me and how much is the clothing. My traps may have achieved a life of their own.
And I'd
really
like to stop shying away from things that make me think of Marni.
Stepping in a bit late, but please count me in among the "No such thing as too much Mac news" crowd.
JZ! How are you? Today was the day you find out about bedrest leavage, right?
How did it go?
It follows that every observation of something which is not black and also not a raven is evidence that ravens are black. This is patently absurd.
Well...no. I mean, first you have to prove that ravens exist in the first place. And then you have to look at everything else in existance and determine that all of the nonblack things that exist are not ravens. (Which may be what is meant above by "every observation," but the way it's worded, it sounds like they think looking at a carrot and realizing it's orange is proof that all ravens are black. Which is patently absurd, but it's not how logic works.)
JZ, are you still on house arrest?? I would seriously be bonkers by now. And I hate Doing Things.
Speaking of which, I really need to be neatening and straightening in preparation for going out of town, but ugh. Also packing, but that will take 10 minutes.
I am the laziest lazy who every lazed.
Also, I was ridiculously weirded out by leaving work for two days. I think it's because of the lack of lead time for mental preparation.
Woke up this morning with a pain in my hip(actually in the area where the leg meets the hip).
Ouch. I get that but it's tendonitis. Mine's been aching again and I am pretending that stretching is going to help. Don't wanna play with the big bad needles if I can help it.
