    By that logic, its equal to a phone is an equal strawman. It is a way less vital device than a phone.

            Yeah, sure, you just claimed that I strawmanned their argument… Cmon.

            EDIT: Also, who’s doing the strawmanning here? I said that “phones are useful devices that people rely on, while [smart glasses] are not”. Then, you went on a tirade how I said that smart glasses are “marginally convenient” instead of “literally useless”.

            Did I say that they are literally useless? Or rather, implied that they are something along the lines of “marginally convenient”, thus not being “useful devices that people rely on”?

            Also, I did not say anything about equivalence. I said “more akin to”. Which you took as literal equivalence.

            This is the wildest pedantry I’ve witnessed in a while.

              You literally sound like a boomer complaining about Smart phones, describing them as “useless toys”

                  Oh, I did win the argument. You’re objectively wrong. You hating smart glasses, or them being massive walking invasions of privacy, doesn’t make them “useless toys”. A thing can be bad without being useless. That’s a literally childish understanding of concepts.

                    See my previous comment about strawmanning, mr. “I learned about logical fallacies 5 days ago”
