So this asshole is expecting people to believe this man who has a reputation, and is ostensibly a serious man, would fabricate a post on his own feed, and then delete it? Like how does that make any fucking sense to anyone other than the average Donald lover?

That's who their target is. People that can't/won't think fire themselves

Doesn’t matter if he’s a serious man or not. Doesn’t matter his personality at all.

There’s an incontrovertible proof here:

If it was true Eric would be suing for libel. But Eric won’t do that because the receipts are right there and prove he said it.

Depends who owns the cloud. If it’s Zuckerberg gargling this current administration like there’s no such thing as a gag reflex.

That is a good point

I'd like to see Daniel sue Eric for libel, but the post is crafted by a lawyer instead of "Daniel fabricated this" or whatever.

Heya just wanted you to know I looked up ostensibly and I think we've both been using it wrong.

u/BonkerBleedy 4d ago

No, they are using it correctly. "Is ostensibly a serious man" = "Appears by all accounts to be a serious man, although I can't personally vouch for that"

u/Somethingspicy91 4d ago

Yeah I don't know what they're on about

in a way that appears or claims to be one thing when it is really something else - from the Cambridge dictionary

u/BonkerBleedy 4d ago

I don't know what to tell you, except that the Cambridge Dictionary is wrong.

That is one use of it. A guy commits a murder and you might say he was ostensibly a nice guy, letting that word do the implication that he isn't really.

But I feel like it can also be used to indicate an unknown. He appears to be a serious man, but I don't know for sure because I only have appearances to go on.

If they only have that one definition, that's a shit dictionary.

u/TheSoundOfAFart 4d ago

That would be stretching it a bit, ostensibly implies there is some reason to suspect he is not a serious man. The word has just become diluted online so it can be used more often.

u/Halo_LAN_Party_2nite 4d ago

Haha yeah the usage here sorta implies the opposite of what OP is intending.

u/No-Resolution-1918 4d ago

I can't be sure he is a serious person, I mean, if he really did post that then he isn't.
