minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoI think maybe you’re not understanding the concept of a metaphor.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 years agoI understand metaphors just fine. “Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a metaphor that people think is true too, doesn’t mean we can’t use it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 years agoShow me where I said we can’t use it. “And it isn’t even true.” does not mean “stop using that metaphor”
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoSo then we’re back to the original reply that you don’t understand metaphors. No one thinks it’s literally fucking true. That’s how metaphors work.
I think maybe you’re not understanding the concept of a metaphor.
I understand metaphors just fine.
“Lightning never strikes the same place twice” is a metaphor that people think is true too, doesn’t mean we can’t use it.
But you’re the one saying we can’t use it…?
Show me where I said we can’t use it.
“And it isn’t even true.” does not mean “stop using that metaphor”
What exactly does it mean then?
That it isn’t literally fucking true.
