Then how did I grow up in a cave and have 20/20 vision?

Samizdata posted:I wish I knew who that was so I could bring up increased sample size. Also more people per capita being diagnosed as having aspergmatism doesn't mean more people have aspergmatism. It may mean we are now better at recognising the symptoms, that the diagnostic criteria have been widened, or so on. All of which means that 300 years ago we might think "gosh Dave is such a weirdo" whereas now we think "gosh Dave is such a sperg". To look at it you'd think that rates of autism in girls or black kids has massively increased recently, for example, whereas it's more just that autistic symptoms are now seen as, like, being evidence of autism in demographic groups outside of middle class white boys.

If I keep it just numbers, it is SCIENCE! (Wir haben uns zu Meistern der Wissenschaft!) and I get lots of animated "mind blown" reaction gifs. And that's really what it is all about, right? (Well, that and the little "thumbs up" thingies.)

Uh I'll have you know they're actually proof of the great flood, some nice Born Agains wrote a letter and told me. They also told me the Bible has 100% accuracy on every prophecy, and all historic and scientific statements. Unfortunately this is poo poo that did happen. Where I live is currently trying to legalise euthanasia, and it's bringing out the religious in full force. Also if you commit suicide you're going to hell for self-murder, so it's better to suck it up and deal with your terminal lung cancer or motor neurone disease or whatever.

yeah I eat rear end posted:Flat earthers are the worst because something deep in my mind says they have to be trolling/joking, but they are so adamant about it I don't even know anymore. In any case, debating them is pointless because even if you explain their supposed "proof" away they have an endless amount of "yeah ok shill but what about THIS picture" up their sleeve and will keep going until you give up. I'm 90% sure it started out as a lodge or club or something, as I remember it existing before trolling was really a thing. Then it got onto the Internet, and conspiracy people joined up, co-opted the club for their agenda, and ran the 'regular' people out. The other 10% is me thinking that maybe it's still a joke gimmick, but they got shaolin monk-level good at trolling the poo poo out of people. Given the attention they get, could you really blame them? Their arguments seem almost too perfectly 'wrong'.

Hey guys I do millions a year with my venture capitalist firm, but I started out as a cashier and some guy who slit his wrists and smashed some stuff somehow needed to be shot but I overcame this tragedy to have a hot little wife and a ton of sports cars and lots and lots of money Did I tell you guys I run a very successful business now and have lots of stuff, I don't like to brag but this information was necessary to tell the story of a man who had no money and was desperate to the point of self-harm and now I'm doing awesome despite his miserable existence Please love me

Dear diary, today my life was boring and pointless, again. Teenagers are stupid and think their wacky hijinks they get up to at school are actually interesting. Those two were especially dull though. One was just theaterkid.txt mixed with jew stuff, the other boiled down to just "I jerked off". The fact that both were probably embellished compared to what really happened is just sad.

Haifisch posted:It's like how nobody dies of 'old age' anymore because we figure out the real cause of death. Or how mental illness is an actual medical thing now instead of you being possessed by demons/intentionally being a pain in the rear end/whatever. Also the huge increase in prostate cancer in man, which is mostly due to increased screening with more sensitive methods. In part so they can make money by treating people that would just have died of something else long before the prostate cancer got 'em.

Haifisch posted:But see, a porn mag company offered him a free magazine out of the blue(did they ever do that back when porn mags were a thing people bought? it seems pointless for multiple reasons), and that's hijinks. Yes, because I remember getting them as a shy, awkward early-teen girl that did not have any interest in porn mags being mailed to my home, because I was on some mailing list. My folks just laughed it off and threw out the cards. The scam was that they sent you a free one but subscribed you for a year, so you had to call and unsubscribe to not get more than the free one, except that was in .01 size font on the bottom of the card. I also got a sex toy catalog that thoroughly embarrassed me, so much I had to keep it and hide it under my bed. The 80's were a different time.
