The bait and switch on this one really caught me off guard and gave me a great laugh. Good post.

Finite games are all definite, either player 1 as a winning strategy or player 2 has, all other "outcomes" are just mental illnesses. Get over it, math doesn't care about your feelings.
That would be true, except draws exist
me, playing for a draw: 
I thought I understood sets until I saw a show on PBS where a guy showed how there were different infinities using them and I realized I knew nothing.
Ok, i dont understand this level of math, but cant you force a win in a 2 player game of non-infinite moves? Why wouldnt you be able to? Genuinely asking
assuming a draw condition is impossible maybe
Tic-tac-toe always ends in a draw with perfect play.
If you are so pro-choice, you can split your two balls into several pieces and reassemble them into three balls!
If you are so pro-choice, you can draw two parallel lines and they will always intersect at the horizon!
Hey now, just because someone isn't pro-choice doesn't mean they're pro-AD. Honestly, people nowadays think everyone who disagrees with them on one thing must have every unhinged belief under the sun.
Fucking relatable !
I'm that guy
