you should know i am earnest. i’m learning how to snark. i try to say what i mean and mean what i say.
sometimes i do try to make jokes, but I am not sarcastic.

i think this is probably a fair point, but i also think it’s notable that this person was at the end of a long conversation and clearly emotionally distraught. if you pointed out this thread to them, they’d say “of course they’re not the same, but neither is acceptable” or some variation. and i think that’s a fair position to have.

strictly, they are asking how they are different, not stating that they are the same.

it’s bad to have your arm hacked off with a hatchet or sliced off with a chainsaw. they are not the same, though.
bothesidesing is not necessarily saying they are the same. i don’t recall ever seeing someone actually say both sides are the same.
