Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Nah, you can't reason someone out of a belief they weren't reasoned into.

I don't think that's true, and I don't think you really believe that either.........

But I believe it after testing the hypothesis multiple times!

Is that a reference to that tweeter thread about it?

Honestly?

No.

The original comment was "you can't reason someone out of a belief they weren't reasoned into" and I was just playing on that by trying to reason them out of the belief that you can't reason someone out of a belief............

Or at least suggest that you can reason someone out of a belief they weren't reasoned into. Because it seems within reason that you can reason someone out of a belief they weren't reasoned into and the reason I suggest that is it seems perfectly reasonable.

(Yeah -- sometimes I just get bored and want to see how long I can keep a sentence going and use the same word in it before it breaks down into total chaos).
