Technically, any two people who commit a crime together is a conspiracy, so technically, anyone who makes the case for their guilt is engaging in a conspiracy theory.
religion is basically a conspiracy theory

some invisible intelligence is controlling everything and some other invisible intelligence is trying to sabotage

also,

do you understand that every single government on earth has an entire branch devoted to COVERT OPERATIONS 

this is a fact, not a theory or a hypothesis

it was only in the 1980s that the term “conspiracy theory” began to really have the negative connotations we associate with it today

commonly used as a pejorative, ad hominem attack and rush-to-disqualify

it is an obvious logical fallacy to use the term "conspiracy theory" to attempt to discredit an individual and their often unstated case

Of course this is going to lead to people being wary of what kind of information they share with their doctors going forward, even if it's potentially life-saving information.

I assume you are responding in large part to the arguments I made in the conspiracy thread. In that thread I made clear that the technical usage of the term points to something that is not inherently fallacious whereas the colloquial usage does, and I made clear the logical fallacies that embody the colloquial usage of the conspiracy theorist label. So to apply that label to me without being able to point out where I am making those same errors proves my point.
in a way,

every police investigation is some sort of hypothesis, or "conspiracy theory" that at some point either does or does not lead to a conviction

all political organizers are conspirators (with the implicit aim to remove government officials from power and to replace them)

hold on,

aren't you the "conspiracy theorist" here ?

are you not claiming that there was a well coordinated CONSPIRACY to "overthrow the government of the united states" ?

That’s why I’m saying you’re trying to have it both ways.
so, you want to sample-bias the topic to ONLY include unfalsifiable and or widely ridiculed hypotheses ?

a mix of proven and unproven seems preferable

Or are you saying that we replace worn out cells with even more worn out cells?

it is the absence of existence
it is impossible to imagine nothing

it is impossible to find nothing

it is impossible to identify exactly where nothing is

there is no nothing

and never has been

therefore, "something" cannot emerge from it

Of course there cannot be such “thing” as no-“thing”.
so, it is also trivially true that no thing can spring whole from "nothing" (because nothing can NOT logically exist)

where is NOTHING, it can only be nowhere

when is NOTHING, it can only be at no time

how big is NOTHING, it can only be no size

two or more individuals conspire to commit a crime
While doubts regarding the perceived second attack have been expressed since 1964, it was not until years later that it was shown conclusively never to have happened. In the 2003 documentary The Fog of War, the former United States Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara admitted that an attack on the USS Maddox happened on August 2, but the August 4 attack, for which Washington authorized retaliation, never happened.[9]

Nothing could be defined as "a complete lack of any existence whatsoever". 
which means, logically, there can be no such thing as "nothing"

Quite. I just think that no one intentionally act like an asshole(except maybe Wyited). Maybe some people are way sensitive to things like this but to me, all these cold and harsh tones used in debate arguments just feel like what would be normally expected for an argument. You are here to fight with words, well. I still respect your effort to make arguments respectful, I just think it is ok with or without.

3. During rebuttals, take your opponent's argument in its best case. You do not want to leave ambiguity where the judge can think "well, I can imagine a scenario where this argument might be able to stand up to these refutations better, so perhaps this refutation does not stand up if you took the argument in good faith." Taking your opponent's argument in its best case is advice I got repeatedly (mostly because I was bad at following it lmao). Show how, even in the absolute best case scenario with the kindest possible assumptions, the argument is still incorrect and does not outweigh your arguments. Then go on to say that "if their argument fails in the best case scenario with the kindest possible assumptions, in a realistic scenario, the argument completely and utterly falls apart."

That is not a current Fed policy. Why are you spamming threads with useless information?
that's when this "inflation problem" started

Now a little over a year after our last piece, the Federal Reserve has updated the numbers. Sadly it’s no longer 40 percent of all U.S. dollars that were printed since 2020, not 50 percent and not even 70 percent. Since January 2020, the US has printed nearly 80% of all US dollars in existence. [**]

It's bad enough that it's going to take 5 years to reverse the self-induced inflation with the current Fed monetary policies.
The Fed announced the first round of QE, known as QE1, in November 2008. It officially kicked off in March 2009 and concluded a year later, with the U.S. central bank purchasing $1.25 trillion total in mortgage-backed securities, $200 billion in agency debt and $300 billion in long-term Treasury securities.

At the end of April, Exxon Mobil reported $5.48 billion in profits during the first quarter of 2022 – also more than doubling its profits compared with the same period last year. Revenue for the Irving, Texas-based company was $90.5 billion, far exceeding the revenue of $59.15 billion during the same quarter in 2021. May 7, 2022 [**]

Prices can be as much as $2 cheaper just across the border in Mexico, however. That comes thanks to Mexican government subsidies. The government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador uses revenue from oil drilling to subsidize domestic gasoline and diesel prices. [**]
