Nah, it's just that you're being pedantic (or suck at reading comprehension).

"I feel that liquid water and gaseous water have a significantly different chemical formula."

You feel that way for no apparent reason. Pedantically, the reason could be "because you are lying" or "because you are dumb." Practically, we both know you might mean to say, "Well, chemically they are the same, but one is less dense."

Yeah you went metaphysical. I don't consider liquid water a chemical formula, but chemical formula will state if water is liquid or a gas.

Buuuut you kinda lost on drone argument. MAGA acts the same way when they lose an argument just start another argument to lose to distract from the last argument they lost.

I always end up thinking that they may forget the details, but they don't forget the emotions they went through as they lost, so they accumulating bad emotions.

You're 2 best options are to admit I'm right (on somethings) or actually prove me wrong. You ain't doing so good on option 2

No I didn't. I used a metaphor. If that's above your comprehension, I'm sorry but I lack the tools and experience to help you with that.

The rest of your comment is just smug trolling, so enjoy the block. A quick glance at your profile shows I won't be missing out on much.

Oh cool you're actually quoting me instead of summarize what I said.

Going metaphysical is different than using metaphors. I should say "going meta" because you're not talking about drones anymore. You're talking about how I talk.

Going metaphysical reference people talking on some metaphysical level about behavior and what it means
