If you say you like the winter but you dislike the cold and the snow, then what would you call that?
Normal. Again, people can like the same things for different reasons. They don’t have to enjoy the weather conditions to find snowy landscapes beatiful, for example.
You keep arguing as if I am the one who defined what winter is.
Winter is a time of year. Winter still comes and goes, even if there is no snow, or negative temps. The one constant, is the earths position relative to the sun, and some of the effects that has, such as amount and angle of light in a day.
I’m arguing like your idea of what winter is, is horseshit. Because it is. You act as if select aspects of it are intrinsic, and that each of them must be enjoyed, for a person to be able to claim they enjoy winter, without you labeling them a hypocrite. But each person can enjoy or dislike whatever aspects they want, and come to whatever conclusions they come to, about how it all balances out and makes them feel about it.
If you really want to get pedantic, you could reduce all this “oh yeah, I really enjoy when our hemisphere of the planet is tilted away from our sun, it’s my favorite orbital phase”. And guess what? That would still be a valid reason for someone to honestly like winter! Who are you and me to judge whether their dislike of the cold outweighs their enthusiasm for orbital mechanics?
But i suppose anything is winter if you do it during the winter.
Yes! That is how seasons work!
Was that so hard?
Enjoying the mere concept of something, is a perfectly valid reason to enjoy a time of year. Regardless of how directly you engage with the actual conditions involved.
I’m frankly at a loss of what to say other than that you don’t understand what words mean.
I mean exactly what I’ve said. I don’t know what to tell you if you can’t read it in sequence, and get something that makes sense.
If you’re going to bring up semantics, you should be pointing out what it is you’ve noticed, what confuses you, and why.
If you want me to correct for a difference in our definitions, you’ll have to actually point them out, not just blankly ask “what do you think words mean?”.
