Your fallacy is that you are trying to use Logic to change a person who is ruled by Emotion.
There will always be spiritually blind people: Flat Earthers, Atheists, Alien Deniers, etc.
There is no point in wasting everyone's time. There is even an old proverb about it:
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Or:
"You can lead lead a person to knowledge, but you can't make them think"
I wound up adding a note to my profile saying that I was not looking for work. Stopped all recruiters bugging me for 'one off contract gigs in my area'
They drove me nuts as
1) I'm happy in my job and currently not looking for anything else, and
2) I live in a smallish region - I'm pretty certain that these gigs aren't actually real
I check LinkedIn about once a month - These days it's just another form of Social Media BS
damn you beat me to it
And I've run out of mod points
Beautiful
Good to see that HHGG is still fondly remembered
He didn't "pass away" he died.
It is even in the quoted article ffs.
OP here
Who's afraid to mention death? I even quoted it in the article as you pointed out
I do however like to stretch my use of the English language once in a while after hours of hacking code together. And those with sufficient grasp of said language read "passed away" and know it means death
Don't be scared to stretch your vocab every so often. I recommend 4 seasons of Monty Python to get you started
Asterix is still funny!
I grew up with Tintin as well. It's definitely "of a different era," but that makes it more interesting to a certain extent.
I'll second that. Both are fun for all ages, and I'd say a good place to start if you're new to the comic/graphic novel format
I also find the humour in Asterix similar to that of the Discworld series
When do we get Spider Pig?
"many years ago" ?
5 is a very odd definition of 'many'. (5 years, as of this writing)
It's the Troll form of counting = One, Two, Many, Lots - Men at Arms, Terry Pratchet
