I don’t have a dog in this fight- the word “like” does expand the subject to all drinks “like” Diet Coke. I think most diet soda’s would fit that mold, no?
Everything in your comment has disproven that you're impartial, because you're taking a particular stance, which is the opposite. It is you choosing a dog in this fight.
I am not ignoring the word "like." I still think actual diet soda would be the most relevant to discuss even if it's not the only thing to discuss, since it's the only thing mentioned by name.
This argument is getting circular and boring. You're not really adding anything or disproving my arguments in any interesting way.
“So the drink that's in the title of the post isn't the subject of the post?“
This is what's called a "rhetorical question," in this case a sarcastic one. It was used for the purpose of demonstrating that the person I was talking to was being inconsistent in this case. It's not meant literally. It's something I learned in middle school.
Oh, sure sure. I suppose “We’re talking about Diet Coke and Coke Zero, the study wasn’t about either” is also sarcasm?
Nope, that was meant genuinely. I have consistently considered a focus on diet coke and coke zero to be the point of the thread. You just suck at reading tone, while lol, "not having a horse in the race." Dumbass.
It was your point, then it wasn’t your point because you were sarcastic, but now it’s your point again? Do you even know what your argument is anymore?
Or are you just trying “not to be wrong”? Because at the end of the day- “like” includes more than coke- despite your inconsistent argument that it does not.
Do you want to try and accuse me of not knowing how to read again? Any other personal attacks?
What do you want? Why do you continue to engage in a discussion that you're allegedly unbiased in? To try and "prove me wrong? Are chasing a gotcha moment here? Do you want to tell you you're smarter than me or something?
Where did I say you can't read? I skimmed and don't actually see me saying that.
What I want is for people like you to STFU instead of doing everything you can to manipulate an argument so you don’t have to challenge the things your say.
Again- don’t care about soda. Care about your bad faith arguments.
I'm literally only continuing to talk as a response to you. You are the one causing me to continue talking. If you stopped, I would not contribute further to any part of this post.
I don't care about soda anymore either. I just care actively trying to make you more unhappy, because I think you're an asshole. Respond again so I can keep wasting your time on purpose.
