What comparison?

tptacek | karma 394296 | avg karma 6.04 · | 2023-05-23 23:56:57

A risible comparison.

rsynnott | karma 18312 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2013-12-06 02:03:41+00:00

This is a bizarre comparison.

monocasa | karma 27236 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2020-02-24 18:28:53+00:00

There's an implicit comparison to the alternative.

It is a comparison in the same spirit as the original article.

Sorry mate, but that's not how the English language works. They're comparable as in "you can compare them" but not comparable as in "said comparison shows a clear winner and loser".

Reckless comparison. You can do better.

meowface | karma 10977 | avg karma 2.45 · | 2022-04-30 17:53:30

That's why they said "compared to this".

x86_64Ubuntu | karma 2850 | avg karma 2.46 · | 2023-05-05 11:00:03

This is a strange comparison.

aganek | karma 25 | avg karma 1.25 · | 2013-01-15 19:46:33+00:00

Yes. A better comparison.

_getify | karma 192 | avg karma 1.52 · | 2013-11-25 16:21:09+00:00

What on earth are you talking about? That comparison is from the looney bin.

ionforce | karma 1380 | avg karma 2.01 · | 2015-06-10 15:25:35+00:00

Disingenuous comparison is disingenuous.

Yver | karma 803 | avg karma 4.9 · | 2013-02-17 06:48:35+00:00

You're the one comparing them.

There's a comparison in the linked article.

angersock | karma 15241 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2015-05-21 02:13:20+00:00

This is an absurd comparison.

devmunchies | karma 3556 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2021-01-27 04:34:51

pointing out literal discrepancies to a figurative comparison? I like the cut of your jib.

'comaprison' is a funny word. I think you meant to type 'comparison' in the title though.

jbandi | karma 144 | avg karma 1.64 · | 2009-12-29 18:35:55+00:00

A humorous comparison.
