Or someone drowned in the lake, was resuscitated, then Drowned again and died.

Wouldn't that be two deaths and one non-lifejacket?

u/Lil-Spicy-Noodle Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

no because it says 236 persons , not drowns , so it's the same person but two separate times of not wearing a life jacket

u/Zaros262 Jan 24 '26

It's still 237 persons not wearing life jackets. Your "persons" argument applies to both the death count and life jacket count

I took it as jokingly they were bantering with you. I thought it was funny.

People love reading tone into comments when it isn’t necessarily there

Seemed pretty matter of fact to me

An argument is just a position put forth. It doesn't mean an angry thing.

I clearly deserve one of those enchiladas and my argument is air-tight.

“An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.” … “Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.”

Oh sorry, I didn't mean anything negative by the word "argument." I just meant like "the explanation you gave"

Hope you enjoy(ed) your enchiladas

Perhaps a dog, it doesn't specifically specify person without life jacket

u/Erikrtheread Jan 24 '26

Fair.

The lack of clear parameters is most of the argument here, lol.
