A quick definition of stramineus homo:

Term: STRAMINEUS HOMO

Definition: Stramineus homo means "man of straw" in Latin. It refers to a type of argument called a straw man, where someone misrepresents their opponent's argument to make it easier to attack. It's like making a fake version of someone's argument out of straw and then knocking it down instead of addressing the real argument.

A more thorough explanation:

STRAMINEUS HOMO

Stramineus homo (str-min-ee-uhs hoh-moh) is a Latin term that means "man of straw." It refers to a type of argument that misrepresents an opponent's position in order to make it easier to attack. This fallacy is also known as a STRAW MAN.

  • Person A: "I think we should invest more in education and healthcare."
    Person B: "So you want to bankrupt the country with your reckless spending?"
  • Politician A: "I believe in stricter gun control laws to reduce gun violence."
    Politician B: "So you want to take away everyone's guns and leave them defenseless?"

In both examples, Person B and Politician B are creating a straw man by misrepresenting the position of Person A and Politician A. They are making extreme and exaggerated claims that are not actually what the other person believes. This makes it easier for them to attack the argument and discredit the other person's position.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
