1. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive...nt

[littlemissmartypants]

16. And the question is a set up. ...

The alternative conclusion/alternate choice is a type of question use in persuasive communication when directing discourse. If you want to convince someone to choose between two options you give them two options. You can manipulate someone's decision based on the choices offered during the discourse.

I'm quite sure that this famous writer knows this.

I question is a set up.

Stephen had an agenda.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Oh I know, which is why I tend to avoid binary questions...

when neither option is something I care about.

[littlemissmartypants]

24. Excellent point. In this case ...

SK may have a monetized account and did it purely to rile up the masses (who in the world are generally asses my boss would say) and he does such for clicks.

My opinion, I should say, is influenced by my general apathy toward the man. The only King with strong opinions that I'm interested in is named Martin Luther.

Thanks for your reply, Wounded Bear.

I may need a tee shirt.

18. Some folks kept mentioning "King" in a thread the other day...

And I read it... the replies.
Like I try to do. Instead of just what I call driving by. Replying to the OP but not reading what others contribute.

I was thinking that the entire time it was MLK. Boy was I wrong. It was Stephen King. I Totally had to shift my perspective.

[Cha]

20. I usually read the threads, too...

It's part of the leaning experience mostly. I like to Rec the Posts, too.. that's a good addition to DU, imo.. Another way to communicate.

Oh Yeah MLK! Now there's a brilliant King.

[littlemissmartypants]

25. Definitely!

MLK's the only King I care anything about.

Love you, Cha.

[Cha]

28. Aww..

Love you, pants💕

[littlemissmartypants]

35. TY, Cha. ❤️🙏

21. True. Angus is voting with the R's over the shutdown though

Generally harmless, but not my king.

6. Can someone tell me what did he ever accomplished? His brain is fried.

[littlemissmartypants]

13. Who? Stephen King?

J/K

[unblock]

8. That's not quite what he said, though in practice that's a minor point...

He claimed to have been told that as a compliment. Now, of course, he could certainly be lying -- he didn't name the person who gave him that compliment and his story included the word "sir", which at this point is a bit of a tell. So at best it's an unverifiable account from the most thoroughly documented liar in history, take it for what it's worth.

Moreover, he's basically telling would-be sycophants what the standard is for compliments, so, maybe there's not much difference....

[William Seger]

9. Yep, the voices in his head always call him "sir" (nt)

[littlemissmartypants]

14. When and where did he make the wise declaration? 🤔

[Cha]

10. BOTH!!!!

[littlemissmartypants]

15. Zacklee! He's all that and more. So much more... lord have mercy. I feel limited by the two choices.

19. Traitor is Everything Bad in this

World.. and he Needs to Be Stopped Before he Destroys Any More Lives.

[littlemissmartypants]

29. This may be controversial to say but...

The emotional trauma he's causing is already nuclear and worldwide. Forget about the "codes" because at this point I think if he "pushed the button" it would thankfully put me out of my misery. Of course, I would and do, feel bad for the rest of the world.

30. Have you tried...

Bach Flower Remedies instead... I know that's "controversial" but they help me.

They work on our Emotions.. I've been using them on and off for decades... Now ON All the Time. 🌺

[ProudMNDemocrat]

It's not ever really a problem FOR THEM.
