A Golden Companion

A golden companion is a friend so incredibly close to you that at first you see them as pseudo-siblings, and then as time goes on, even more than that, to the point where they aren't a pseudo-sibling, but a golden companion. These people are the closest of the closest to you and will stay with you until the end of time. A Golden Companion is never a romantic one, a Golden Companion that is romantic is called a Rose-Golden Companion.

I've known her for years, she's A Golden Companion and I'll never stop being her friend I love her so much.

Fallacy of Prohibited Comparison

The fallacy where someone claims you cannot point out double standards, hypocrisy, or make certain comparisons in political debates, often by invoking exceptionalism or special circumstances. "You can't compare X to Y!" becomes a way of shielding a position from uncomfortable parallels. The fallacy lies in prohibiting comparison altogether rather than engaging the actual similarities and differences. Often paired with the Fallacy of Relative Exception (using exceptional cases to dismiss comparison) and the Fallacy of Absolute Exception (treating differences as absolute barriers to comparison). Westsplaining is a classic example—the assumption that Western contexts are so unique that comparisons with other contexts are automatically invalid.

"I pointed out similarities between Western foreign policy and actions we condemn in other nations. Response: 'You can't compare us to them—we're completely different!' That's Fallacy of Prohibited Comparison—shutting down comparison rather than engaging it. All comparisons have differences; the question is whether the similarities are meaningful. Prohibiting comparison altogether is just a way of avoiding uncomfortable parallels."

apple-to-orange comparison

The comparison between two (or more) things that cannot be compared apple-to-apple, e.g. comparing the demand of being a kindergartener with that of being a college student — even though they both "only" go to school 3 hours per day

Trying to compare the stress levels of a kindergartener to a college student is just an apple-to-orange comparison—sure, they both "only" go to school 3 hours per day, but the responsibilities are worlds apart!

Maybe to somebody but definitely not in comparison to you

A good response (situationally) to things. It's good it sounds good.

Hym "Maybe to somebody but definitely not in comparison to you. Do you believe in talking donkeys? Yes? Yeah, see that's why you shouldn't be directing statements like that at me."
