All time highs are facts, not subjectives.

A 50 year low is not subjective.

They weren't the ones I was referring to.

Edit: Just to be clear, I was talking about adjectival use, not use as qualified nouns: unemployment is low, jobs are plentiful, gas prices are low, domestic manufacturing is strong.

You said the word ‘high’ is subjective.

Both times the word ‘high’ was used, they were objective facts.

Guilty as charged, even if it was rather pedantic and missing the point :)

I only pulled you up on it as I believed your initial post and both pedantic and missing the point of the tweet, ironic eh.

Take your point but, tbf, some of them are facts. Things like low, high, strong, plentiful are subjective.

Indeed low gas prices are in the eye of the beholder e. g. It’s not all bad out there though.

Fair point, well made :)

Uh oh Matt Gaetz is back in the news.

I can pretty much assure you it's not because he's done something thoughtful, kind and selfless.

Dax was lying again? Well I’m shocked. When is that twat going to fuck off?

I recommend the personal fuck-off option, AKA, ignore. It's not perfect, but oh well...

It puzzles me why so many of the posters in this forum engage with Dax. As I've already pointed out, Dax has posted in another Bluemoon forum that his primary objective when posting in Bluemoon Politics is simply to stir controversy.

Regardless...

Have any of you who continue to engage with Dax ever won an argument with him? Or received a concession? Or learned something new? Or gained a fresh insight?

No?

I thought as much.

Engaging with Dax is a complete waste of time. It's like engaging with Bigga except that Dax is a little less caustic. The guy is simply trolling. Put him on ignore.

In case anyone hasn't seen this Sofa Loren is doubling down on the lie about Haitians eating pets in Springfield and gets shown his arse.

How are the Simpsons going to write dog eating into a script?
