    Its the recommended daily internet arguments per USDA guidelines.

    • At the bottom are your ad hominems, these lay a good foundation and give you the required dopamine for the day.
    • Then come your basic civility criticisms and tone policing to make sure everyone treats you with the respect you deserve.
    • Contradictions are of course necessary to make sure your position is represented and to make it harder for opposing views to get traction.
    • A few counterarguments here and there make sure that you get a bit of research done in order to be able to form new arguments. This is a good idea as arguments age over time and need to be replaced every so often.
    • A refutation is of course a long-term source of dopamine that you can refer back to in the upcoming days for a quick hit by marvelling at your own argument.
    • If you have taken care of all your daily internet argument requirements and still have time left, why then you get to do some name-calling. As a treat.
