my A+ tactic is (when the bullshitting happens) you say "I am confused, can we backtrack? I want to understand your point of view but I feel like we've moved on to an entirely different course and I'm still stuck on the first one. Be patient with me, please?" be sure to make the please sound as pitiable as possible without being wimpy. Total disarmment, it forces them go either go back to the point, or be the aggressor and you the victim. Report back with your findings to brainstorm once she adapts
I was a STEM teacher, years ago. I wish I had this guys material for my classes back then. My best funny was... All of the kids were issued chromebooks and we actually had a pretty good Wi-Fi network and I put that to good use. However, being rather rural, the power would flicker off for a second or so, and then all the servers had to reset, which took a few minutes. This happens one fine day, and one of the kids in the back row, in frustration, yells, "WHAT is WRONG with the internet!" Sotto voce, I said "You can't get away from the porn." The kids up front heard and began to giggle. It quickly spread to the back.

Great routine. The other arguing option is "I am not playing these games" and walk away. The couch is very comfy. I made sure of that.

No, it's not a planet, just like a killer whale is not a whale - it's a dolphin. Names can be misleading. A dwarf planet is a sub-planetary object that is in orbit around the sun, it's massive enough for its gravity to make it spherical, but isn't able to dominate its orbit.

Yeah this makes me want to stay single. "Are you saying I'm dumb?" is a manipulative statement that unpacks to "If you maintain your assertion, I will interpret it in a way that will result in you being punished." Of course, the whole thing was a joke, but if you're in a relationship where that happens, consider counseling because that person is not healthy.

Put it this way. Pluto is so important that they had to create a whole new category of planet. First dwarf planet. Don't think of it as a downgrade rather than an upgrade to our science. Pluto is such an underdog that it won the fight and science had to change to fit around how amazing Pluto is
"center of the universe" jajajajajajajaja
Pluto is actually upgraded to a planet again, from what I recently heard.
Don't let bullies like Neil deGrasse Tyson disrespect Pluto like that. Pluto will always be a planet in my heart and also in the diagram on my old elementary school's corridor because everyone's too lazy to update that 😌

Management and people skills? Show me that manager. Problem solving and people skills is like an arbitrator. Also there's like the funniest meme picture where a woman asks a man "how did you get so fit" and the man replies "exercise and reducing calories" and the woman replies with a chuckle "no, really, what's your secret!" People really, really don't want their problems solved, they just want them to disappear. The problem with engineers arguing with women is that they play by different rules. How could you win when you're not even playing the same game and the other party has all the unbalanced cheat codes and trump cards that are like "immediately go to jail without passing the start". Also the worst thing you CAN do is to win one of those arguments with a woman. That's when you're in real trouble. There's another meme about that: on a forum someone says "my wife just said I'm right, what should I do?!" to which someone else replied "say that you're sorry".

Imagine if there's intelligent life on Pluto that's about as technologically advanced as our medieval period. From their perspective it is the centre of the solar system. The sun and the rest of the planets is a frivolous God that likes to dance around Pluto and tell it how pretty it is.
Compromise. Eris is the new planet that's bigger / heaver than Pluto. I'll hang Pluto, if you let me hang Eris. "But Eris is too new, I only want the old planets." Ceres was the planet between Mars and Jupiter in the 1800s. It's an old planet. It got demoted to asteroid, and has now been promoted to dwarf planet. Can I add that one too? How about Sedna or Makemake or Gonggong? And the dwarf planet Haumea sounds like it came from a disney movie. Haumea matata means no worries for the rest of your days. It's our problem-free philosophy. Haumea matata. Isn't that a fun planet? Why don't you like fun planets? If compromise doesn't work, you need to learn how to set your own emotional traps.
There's a video out there of the leading expert on Pluto and Neil Degrass Tyson having the same argument. Pluto really should be a planet (as should at least most of the rest of the dwarf planets).

Not really. I mean, it is not important first of all - scientists use those classifications (and that's all they are) just so they would have a bit more orderly lists. There is no real scientific reason behind those, because they highly depend on the definition. There are probably more similarities between Pluto and Mercury than Jupiter and Pluto or any other rocky planet. Important distinction is between stars and other orbiting bodies. But between various non-star objects that orbit around a star? Not really. There is no different science involved - therefore it is scientifically not important. It is just about easier data maintenance. If there is a significant difference, it is between objects that turn spherical due to the effect of their own mass, and those that don't. There is some scientific difference going on there. But between other round objects orbiting a star? Nope. Should Pluto be a planet? As much as Jupiter should be a dwarf planet. It is just a class division for objects. You can go either way. Scientists really don't care as long as you get the rest of the science right. Those classifications are just there to save us some time - nothing more. And in case of Pluto, it does save you time if you call it Dwarf Planet and not a Planet. Because if you say it is a Planet, you need to add a few other parameters to fully explain its position and characteristics. While a definition of a Dwarf Planet fits it much better and you have less explaining to do to fully characterize Pluto. And that is the whole point of those astronomical classifications - putting objects into defined groups so they are easier to find and explain, without using more time than it is necessary. And, frankly, the only people who got their panties in a twist about Pluto are certain Americans. The rest of the world does not care, we are completely fine with the scientific division as it is now. Americans care because Pluto is the only "planet" found by an American. Pure nationalism, has nothing to do with science. Same with using imperial system over metric and many other things. Because 'Murica!
Married 16 years, beautiful loving wife. I win 98% of arguments. Here would be my flow diagram of an argument about Pluto being a dwarf planet. Pluto is a dwarf planet -> No it isn't, we learned it was a planet at school -> Me too, but Tyson down graded it to a dwarf planet. See look -> Do you think I'm dumb -> Of course not, I think you're amazing and intelligent. You know that. I just think you didn't hear about the change. No big deal -> I don't like Tyson -> Me either, he's a sellout. Want to hang out after I'm finished hanging Neptune? -> Sure. What should we do.. And that gentlemen is how you beat a woman at her own game.
Funny stuff, though that was an Euler diagramm not a Venn.

My rule for planets, are they the largest object in their orbit, and are they at least twice the size of the next largest object that shares their orbit?

It’s not that there isn’t a solution to the problem of “I’m fat” it’s that you need to actually understand the problem that needs solving…just like in engineering…not all problems are as easy as they seem…:-D. The easier the problem seems, the harder it actually is…do not provide an obvious solution…ask questions first…as any good scientist does…🤔😊😁🤣🤣🤣

Spherical and revolve around the Sun should be enough to be a planet. Pluto was a planet when it was discovered. Why change the definition that excludes it?

Well my argument is if it’s a dwarf planet is it still not a planet? Like I look up the definition of dwarf and I get: A person with a usually genetic disorder resulting in atypically short stature and often disproportionate limbs. - so are dwarf people not people? An atypically small animal or plant. - are they then not an animal or plant? And the final one A small creature resembling a human, often having magical powers, appearing in legends and fairy tales. …. This is about fictional content so nothing needs to make sense. Overall they taught us Pluto was a planet forever then try and take Pluto’s planet card away, we’re not accepting the changing of the fact we had been taught for years that Pluto is in fact a planet.

Look up the definition of dwarf planets instead. A dwarf planet is not a planet, just like a killer whale isn't a whale - it's a dolphin. Dwarf planets are an entire new class of planetary bodies, fully disjointed from planets, despite what the name suggests. They've taught you that Pluto was a planet but back there there was no definition of what a planet is and no other objects around Pluto were known at that time. That's the only thing that changed, we've defined a planet and Pluto simply doesn't fit those criterias. It's just a matter of clear categorisation. It's this simple, nobody targets Pluto on purpose. We’ve simply discovered many more objects like Pluto, on the same orbit as Pluto and realized that something is off with that place - that’s because Pluto is a part of the Kuiper Belt. This happened before, when we discovered Ceres and called it a planet, later we discovered many other, smaller objects on the same orbit and that’s how we discovered the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres was then reclassified as an asteroid. In 2006 it was reclassified again as a dwarf planet. Science is constantly changing and evolving. We keep coming up with new theories and new ways to better describe the universe. What was once thought at schools now isn't correct as we understand it was flawed and we have better ways of describing it. Things change. It's time to accept that.
