Josef bugman posted:I don't understand why "Pleb" means something bad. In the Republican Roman era it may have meant "the mob" but Plebeians were the largest class and, if we count the equities as closer to them than the Patricians, generally produced just as much power for the Romans as any one else. I hate the idea that even after thousands of years some dick-hole is still sat somewhere thinking of themselves as "Patrician" sincerely. I'm actually Cicero IRL. AMA about how Caesar was a big bully!

RaspberryCommie posted:I dunno if this is the joke, but all of those things are on the X chromosome. The reason why those (mostly) affect men is because women have a second X chromosome that basically overrides the bad one, while men don't. Women know the importance of backups. But I think I may have found, and I may be giving him too much credit, this idiot's potential source for this line of thought. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/14/science/14gene.html

More ammunition for those depressing imgur discussion threads where people keep pointing out how this exact thing happens over and over and over and the rest of the community hand waves it away as just a couple bad eggs.

Subjunctive posted:Because they are making defensive excuses and deflections, not arguing in good faith. Have you really not encountered it before? Seriously - I stopped having arguments like this after a former co-worker and gun nut couldn't form a coherent sentence to back up anything he said. We'd get in a discussion about immigration and when he got backed into a corner with factual information, he'd change the subject to something else. Last time he tried that I called him a coward and an idiot for refusing to stick to the topic and failing to provide any factual information to back up his claims, and he blocked me

 Plexus Lady still shilling her pyramid scheme diet supplement. Oh, and in case I haven't mentioned in the other posts about this lady---she's a nurse. Because of course she is. There's a huge, depressing number of nurses out there that totally buy into pseudoscience / health bullshit.

It's amazing how many smart professionals have absolutely no critical thinking skills at all. This is exactly why education in the liberal arts is just as important as education in the sciences - because you can know all the background knowledge in the world about human physiology but it does you little good if you don't have the critical thinking skills to evaluate a piece of information you're encountering for the first time.

It's really sad, some people get their diploma and think it just means they are smart about everything and other people just don't know any better. It reminds me of all the scientists that are against climate change and when you look closer most of them are in fields that don't have anything to do with it and clearly have no clue how any of this works. But nooo, "I'M AN ENGINEER AND I AM SMART AND I CAN TELL YOU CLIMATE CHANGE AIN'T REAL"

I think I remember first hearing about it on an episode of Bullshit! and they brought up a book about this exact phenomenon. https://www.amazon.com/People-Believe-Weird-Things-Pseudoscience/dp/0805070893 Not read it so dunno how good it is, but, still. I remember an earlier title was way harsher, along the lines of "Why do smart people believe stupid things?"

Puppy Time posted:"the only male animals that put there penis where poo poo comes out of a body" One time my friend was trying to enjoy seeing the sights of Ottawa for the first time and encountered bunch of anti-gay protesters outside the Parliament buildings. They kept telling him about how only gays engage in buttfucking and HIV only spreads via buttfucking and therefore gays are the sole cause of AIDS. When he tried to say that women/heteros engage in anal sex too and that there are other ways to contract HIV she just kept screaming "YOU ARE BRAINWASHED!!" at him. These people are loving broken.

Dr. Oz is (was?) supposedly a very accomplished cardiac surgeon. His father, also a surgeon, once told him to go back to doing "real medicine" or something along those lines. I can't remember where I read that and can't seem to find it anymore.

By that logic all the gays will gently caress eachother into extinction so why bother protesting against them?
