That's not the way to refute an argument. Generalizations are convenient because exceptions always exist and outliers are no way to disprove a trend.

I can relate and you won't believe it. Last Sunday I was at a cocktail bar and while checking the menu with a friend I had the exact same short conversation about Campari, prompted by wanting to know what's in a Negroni.

There's a phenomenon that explains this kind of illusion as a psychological effect, called the Baader-Meinhof complex. Coincidentally later that night we mentioned it too. It's basically a trick our brains play on us partly explained by the psychological processing of information, selective attention and confirmation bias.

Or maybe Facebook is spying on me, on you, and Hacker News too.

What? People are very likely to develop stress disorders from continuous and constant proximity to violence regardless of where it takes place.

People who grow up in a state of constant war become desensitized to it but you're going to have a problem with their behavior and tendencies once you have them try to adapt to what amounts to a normal life to you.

As opposed to Hillary Clinton? Her supporters have spent quite the sum pushing back against users on most social networks.

It's the rhetoric that's been put forth in this election to pander to the lowest common denominator, whether we like it or not.
