      I’m pretty sure pointing out that the U.S. government is being hypocritical isn’t a gotcha.

      And China being a foreign country doesn’t make their stated reasons for doing it less hypocritical.

        Okay I’m not going to argue with you about what is or isn’t a gotcha, you seem to be really hung up on that. I’m saying they’re not being hypocrites and just pointing out that they aren’t banning western companies from collecting data is missing a whole lot of nuance. It’s not as simple as “if you ban one you gotta ban them all, otherwise you’re a hypocrite”.

          Yeah, I’m weirdly hung up on people saying things about me that aren’t true. I’m just an odd duck that way. I’m sure you’re a completely different, but what with you having your PhD in psychology rescinded by Harvard after you faked all that data in those papers, I don’t think we can trust you on it.

              Did I or did you lie and say I was trying to do a gotcha? Because I’m pretty sure that’s what happened:

              This must be more than a micro stroke, because I’m looking at that screenshot and it still looks like that was what you lied about.

              And I was pointing out that lying about people in very obvious ways makes you look ridiculous. A point you figured out but didn’t realise it applied to yourself.

                Lying? Mate what in the hell are you on about, seriously? I was kinda half joking before but I’m actually serious now, I think you need some fresh air. I genuinely have no clue what you’re on about anymore. No one’s lying and no one accused anyone else of lying in this conversation.

                  No one’s lying

                  I literally showed you where you lied. Are you claiming it’s not a lie and I did think it was a gotcha? Are you psychic?

                    I don’t know what you’re on about mate, and this has gone on too far. I hope your day, week, or whatever turns around. Have a good one.
