This fallacy occurs when, instead of addressing someone's argument or position, you irrelevantly attack the person or some aspect of the person who is making the argument.

An "ad hominem" attack is a fallacious tactic of deflection and shifting the focus of the argument. Equally so is an accusation of "ad hominem" attacks, where the accuser perceives a valid criticism as "mean-spirited" or "personal." On the surface, what the accuser's leveraging is nothing above the level of "you're just a hater" or "you're just jealous." However, what they're pretending to do is not accusing a person of being mean, but accusing their framing of the criticism as mean, as in "Your criticism is an ad hominem attack," which lends more credibility to the accusation.

What logical fallacy is this kind of deflection? On the surface, it's not targeted at a person, so it's not really an ad hominem argument. It seems to target the person's argument itself, so it's not a strawman argument either. What it only does is to mischaracterize a valid criticism and deems its tone or framing "mean," "snide," "rude," "personal," or "disrespectful," therefore worthy of dismissal.

There’s nothing worse than when you’re debating someone who has no idea what they’re talking about, is obviously a fool, and to make it worse, smells like dirty socks.

Ugh. It’s just the worst. And they need to know just how uninformed they are (and that they smell like dirty socks).

Actually, they don’t. When your argument strays from the issue at hand to criticisms of the person you’re arguing with, you’re no longer communicating logically. Instead, you’re making an ad hominem attack.

Ad hominem fallacy (or ad hominem) is an attempt to discredit someone's argument by personally attacking them. Instead of discussing the argument itself, criticism is directed toward the opponent's character, which is irrelevant to the discussion.

What are Fallacies?

Fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine arguments. They can be formal, with flawed logical structure, or informal, based on misleading content or emotional appeal. Common types include straw man, ad hominem, slippery slope, and false dichotomy, impacting critical thinking.

Some people believe in cats are killers just like lions and that is not true . Although they are carnivores and they eat meat , that doesn’t mean they hunt like lions and tigers . So those believe is wrong 😑

Even some websites say that is wrong :

A new study shows that free-roaming cats hunt and kill more than 80 native species, including blue jays, cottontail rabbits, southern flying squirrels, and even ducks , wild animals and found that 14% of them had been injured .

Although they hunt other species , it still doesn’t mean that cats are killers and there are rarely any news about cat owners are being killed by their cats .

To find the derivative of the function \( f(x) = 4x^5 - 7x^2 + 9 \), you can apply the power rule to each term:

1. Differentiate \( 4x^5 \):

- Using the power rule:

\[

\frac{d}{dx}(4x^5) = 20x^4

\]

2. Differentiate \( -7x^2 \):

- Again, using the power rule:

\[

\frac{d}{dx}(-7x^2) = -14x

\]

3. Differentiate \( 9 \):

- The derivative of a constant is 0:

\[

\frac{d}{dx}(9) = 0

\]

4. Combine the results:

- So, the derivative of \( f(x) \) is:

\[

f'(x) = 20x^4 - 14x + 0

\]

Thus, the derivative is \( 20x^4 - 14x \).

# data[].attributes.body
To find the derivative of the function \( f(x) = x^3 + 2x \), you can apply the power rule to each term separately.

1. Differentiate \( x^3 \):

- Using the power rule:

\[

\frac{d}{dx}(x^3) = 3x^2

\]

2. Differentiate \( 2x \):

- The derivative of \( 2x \) is:

\[

\frac{d}{dx}(2x) = 2

\]

3. Combine the results:

- So, the derivative of \( f(x) = x^3 + 2x \) is:

\[

f'(x) = 3x^2 + 2

\]

Thus, the derivative is \( 3x^2 + 2 \).

# data[].attributes.body
The derivative of \( x^3 \) can be found using the power rule, which states that if \( f(x) = x^n \), then \( f'(x) = n \cdot x^{n-1} \).

For \( f(x) = x^3 \):

1. Apply the power rule:

\[

f'(x) = 3 \cdot x^{3-1} = 3x^2

\]

So, the derivative of \( x^3 \) is \( 3x^2 \).

Context: Hong Kong’s waste charging scheme explained

Hong Kong’s legislature passed a waste-charging scheme on August 26. The government will spend around 18 months preparing for the new waste-collection programme. It will also be educating residents about how the scheme will work.

Under amendments to the Waste Disposal Ordinance, the average Hong Kong household is likely to end up paying HK$33 to HK$55 each month to throw out trash.

Once lawmakers deem the situation right for the scheme to start, residents will have a short grace period. During this time, those who break the rules will be given warnings. After this window, those who are not using the government-made rubbish bags could receive a HK$1,500 fine.

The scheme is expected to encourage residents to recycle and reuse any materials they can. This will hopefully reduce the amount of rubbish sent to the landfills.

Hong Kong residents will soon pay for their rubbish

When details of the scheme were first announced in 2017, each resident threw out 1.45kg of municipal solid waste each day. That figure reached its peak the following year, at 1.53kg. In 2019, it declined slightly to 1.47kg. But environmental groups warned the number could rise again in 2020. This is because residents used more disposable plastic tableware during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The recycling rate, meanwhile, has been decreasing in recent years. Last year, about 29 per cent of municipal waste was recycled, down from the peak of 52 per cent in 2010.

South Korea started a similar scheme in 1995, and in the following decade saw a 24 per cent reduction in the amount of rubbish in the country. But now, more people are using plastic, and the most recent statistics show an increase again in the amount of waste per capita (per person).

I think it 's good it will help Hong Kong it will really reduce waste and make Hong Kong the cleanest city . With money people will be more concerned and not throw rubbish.

I think people in Hong Kong throw a lot of rubbish from windows now there is a fine I’m sure that they will stop

Recycling is the best thing and if people join hand and recycle 100% Hong Kong will change
