What you described is called Steelmanning. It is the opposite of strawmanning.
The idea is to concisely repeat your opponents argument with the most charitable interpretation to see if they disagree with anything, for the purposes of ironing out any misconceptions.
People who cannot steelman are either ignorant, or malicious.
The show feels like its fucking with me. I don't understand a lot of the references, but those times are like watching a crackhead dance for loose change.
The alien-cat will always be my favorite moment
She's ready eating off a plate lol. I say bowl as a colloquial term. She really has nothing to complain about other than my lack of immediate attention.
It's what I'm doing now. Although it's really hard sometimes. I'm frequently busy at my computer, and ignoring her means she'll walk all over my desk and stare at me for a few minutes which is very frustrating.
Obviously I'm trying not to encourage her annoying behaviors, but sometimes I don't have the time to be patient.
Makes sense, but I don't know why she would develop the habit after four years of eating food without hesitation. She hasn't had any serious illness.
I even go through the effort of changing her food bowl daily so she doesn't smell the old food. She could even eat some of the food, come back in an hour and demand I prep her food again. It's very annoying.
A friend recommended this to me, a few years back.
It was incredibly annoying to hear this guy either making blanket statements about the alt-rights intentions, strawmanning, mind-reading or just outright infer correlations because it seems obvious to him.
Some of it is evidently true, but a lot of the rationality and evidence leading to those facts is not sufficient enough for me to accept his claims.
