Mixing “how” and “like” in the same sentence gives me an anurism.

“Thought-terminating clichés”

Also… I don’t think it has a name, but dubiously claiming any of these examples in an argument. Maybe it’d just be called “deflection”.

I’ve seen so many valid arguments shutdown as whataboutism, sealioning, concern trolling when they were valid arguments. It’s just as much bullshit as actually doing any of those things.

Use m-dashes and no spaces, and you’ll be doing it right. The m-dash—which look like this—is the appropiate punctuation for this purpose.

I absolutely detest that kind (the kind who writes a giant parenthetical in the middle if their sentence before one or two words at the end. Just put the fucking parenthetical after the sentence! jfc) of person.
