    lol I understood perfectly what they meant, I was contesting their claim and asking for PROOF, that's why I put "see" in quotation marks because I wanted to know where they had come across these made-up alienated people mad about pronoun struggle sessions

    No

    Goddamn Shrek in shiny armor over here

      How can one “see” people becoming alienated if the alienation leads them to not engage with threads or post

      Looks like you took it literally to me mate

      Goddamn Shrek in shiny armor over here

      What does that even mean

        Yes, I took the obvious declarative statement literally, as in they had "seen" people making posts or comments describing their deeply felt alienation over a boring-ass struggle session, and not simply talking out their ass making wild assume-oh I'm sorry "prEdiCtiOns" about shit they're just guessing is happening..somewhere??? You do realize your reading of their comment makes them look dumb af right?

        What does that even mean

        It means you're gonna get your swamp back, congratulations

          You still can't accept that "I can see [thing]" means "I predict" huh?

          It means you’re gonna get your swamp back, congratulations

          That didn't make it any clearer

            If I didn't think their sentence meant "I predict" I wouldn't have called it an assumption, and you still can't accept that regardless of whether it's a prediction, its still a declarative statement about something that will happen, not a "turn of phrase" I was being generous and assuming they had something to BACK UP THEIR DECLARATIVE PREDICTION, but you are right they were just making a baseless conjecture

              That definitely looks like you thought they meant seeing with their eyeballs

              And you still haven't explained the shrek thing

                Uh yes, their prediction can't be confirmed if nobody actually sees the alienation they're predicting taking place, which makes their claim unfalsifiable horseshit, which is why I had assumed they had seen something to back that prediction up, and led to me asking them WHAT WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

                Which led to you misunderstanding what the term "turn of phrase" means

                Which led to me making a pronoun Faux pas, largely because I confused your pronouns with theirs?

                Which led to you revealing you didn't have a childhood since you don't know what Shrek is

                Which led to me explaining the basics of ENG 12 to you

                Which led to you somehow assuming I hadn't realized they were making a prediction despite the fact I had indeed realized that the whole time, which is why I asked that question in my first comment

                Did I miss anything, holy shit what a dumb fuckin thread

                  since you don’t know what Shrek is

                  I know what it is, i don't know wtf you meant by calling me "shrek in tiny armour"

                  And it is a turn of phrase
