You still can't even answer without making it like homework for yourself, singling out things as if this is some official debate.

Homework? Nah bro. This is just what I do while I wait for my code to compile or my lunch to heat up.

"Wyaaa everything is actually arbitrary, EVERYTHING! So I was never wrong about it!"

Pretty sure that's not what I said, but go off I guess.

You're still wrong.

Citation needed.

Yeah, I now I haven't explained to you in detail why you're wrong, but I assumed you can't be so stupid as to keep arguing that all time keeping systems are arbitrary when I point out the divisibility of hours.

Ah yes, the one actual fact you've managed to dredge up, and it also just happens to be absolutely coincidental.

Keep on lying about having read a book,

I don't have any need for you to believe me. You may feel free to not. I know what I've done and who I am.

You're ignorant of just how ignorant you are.

I'm 100% absolutely certain this is true! But not in this case.

You definitely voted Trump with an IQ like that.

Definitely not. Even if I was dumb enough, I'm not cruel enough.

Do I need to paste the meaning of "arbitrary" here again?

I put it into my previous response, so I think we've got it covered for now.

Like I said, you don't even speak ONE language fluently while I speak almost a dozen on some level.

I'm so proud of you. I mean, it's not relevant to the conversation, but still. Good job.

words don't mean anything

lol, I actually have "WORDS MEAN THINGS" written on the back of a notebook somewhere. That's pretty funny that you'd say that specifically.

I'm never wrong

I've specifically said multiple times in this conversation that I know I can be wrong and I love being proven wrong. You have yet to do anything of that sort, though.

When will you realise I've never taken you seriously, clown? You're my ENTERTAINMENT.

Probably if you put it in all caps I'll believe you.

You can't even write a short comment without pasting the bits you're commenting?

It looks like you have a genuine memory issue, or this is your first time on forums.

I don't aim to prove anything to you. It is beyond hilarious that you note the divisibility of hours (while not even understanding what the word means, lol) while calling it arbitrary.

"I know what I have done and who I am"

Yup, a pathetic liar. :D

"Oh I'm wondering whether it was a video-series", bitch pls, you saw a random YouTube short or something.

Everything from your behaviour and word's show what an ignorant moron you are and every time you return, you're digging yourself deeper.

How many languages did you speak again? Why's there no time systems with a prime number of hours? If the amount of hours was actually arbitrary, it could. But none are. Why is that? For an arbitrary thing? Or is it that you're still not accepting the word's definition?

It's hilarious how often I end up teaching Americans English.

What's the word "arbitrary" mean again, and why did you claim "every system we use is arbitrary"? You surely weren't using the word wrong, because that'd be a mistake and you looooove admitting to mistakes you make, right? ;>
