paradoxGentleman posted:Wow, you know a real life "lizard people are controlling thhe world" conspiracy theorist. I thought those exusted only in jokes. I thought everybody knew at least one.  A "friend" of mine denies the moon landing, thinks a singular secret world government exists that is consisted of subterranean lizard-men, is sure jets are spraying mind-control chemicals all over us constantly, and knows for a fact that fluoride is added to municipal tap water in order to make us docile and subservient. He once asked me to run a "statistical analysis" on "data" he'd collected because I'd told him at one point that one of my focuses in grad school was quantitative analysis. Dude had recorded the nightly news every night for a month and wanted me to try to detect recurring patterns in the waveforms produced by the anchors reading the news. "There's some patterns that the conscious can't pick up on," he explained, "but the subconscious totally can." And yes, he smokes bales of pot (it's ~natural~, unlike vaccines and fortified bread), why do you ask

When he starts that poo poo, I usually go with "Poison ivy is a natural plant, so it should be OK to smoke it, too. I know where you can find some." I don't mean to talk too much poo poo--he's a pretty good guy, just has some strange ideas about things. When his daughter was born, he did actually vaccinate her, but mostly because a bunch of us got together and essentially threatened to ostracize him permanently if she didn't get her shots. "That's just BIG PHARMA taking our money." "Dude, the health department gives them out for free. Make a goddamn appointment." "But the state puts mind control chemicals in vaccines!"

Everything is about the guns. Mass shooting? Staged in order to convince everyone to pass gun control legislation. Regularly-scheduled military training exercises? Secret gun-seizing training. Politician said "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas?" First they take Christ out of Christmas, next they'll take our guns. Gas prices go up? Government is secretly limiting supply in order to cut down on the amount of gunpowder available for are guns. New highway being built outside of town? Obummer's shocktroopers need a nice wide roadway for when they roll into our town to take are guns. McDonald's "All-Day Breakfast" is just pancakes and McMuffins? Makes u think.

Madkal posted:I know someone who pulls this poo poo too. He will say something racist as gently caress and then say "unfortunately I can't say this in public because of the PC police, but it's all true. There are facts backing it up". An example of this is when he said "Blacks are less intelligent and more lazy than white people. It's true. Studies have shown it, but you can't say that because the PC police will label you a racist even if it's true". "Whatdya mean 'You're racist?' Studies prove that they're just not as motivated or smart. Studies also prove that their bodies are better built for physical activity, and that's why there are so many black athletes. Ergo ipso facto I can't be racist, I just said something nice about the gentle negro"

EZipperelli posted:Is there/have there been any studies showing conservatism being linked to lower intelligence (based on school performance and grading)/low socio-economic areas or higher rates of poverty? I can't point to anything specific to answer your question, but I'm 100% sure the data are out there somewhere. Obviously, be careful tossing out statements like "the numbers don't lie--conservatives are fuckin' dumb," as counterarguments on social media (wouldn't want someone making GBS threads on your doorstep or worse) but it would be a pretty simple exercise in basic statistical analysis to work the data real quick. Political scientists have been trying to figure this whole "goddamnit why are people voting against their own best interest over and over again" thing out for ages. What's the Matter with Kansas? is a good read if you want to dive right in and join the rest of us in being befuddled

I didn't know what an undertale was or why it was so popular so I asked some dork friends of mine a while back. Nobody could describe it without gushing about Earthbound, so I'm guessing both sides of this dumb "debate" (read: "group of grown-rear end men screaming at each other on the Internet about which vidjagame is the bestest") are populated by insufferable people who are filled with rage because someone is challenging their nostalgic love of an old game. (cue heckler from the audience: "The fact that it's on GameFAQs wasn't your first clue??!?!")

The premise of this one is plausible if we assume the schools were parochial, but I bet his art was so bad the teachers were outright dismissive of it and that he was a creepy jackass, and that's why he had someone follow him around to make sure he stayed in line and didn't leer at the girls too much. And I'd be willing to bet money that "stay away from my girls" was a direct result of being called into the headmistress' office for unwanted touching after trying to give the girls backrubs or something Wait, er, I mean, it's all the fault of FEMALES and men are just as oppressed, it was the FEMALES' fault that he failed art class and couldn't go to art school

Holy poo poo, I actually stopped there to gas up and grab a bite on my way south earlier this month. While I didn't see any self-important white girls emptying out the towel dispensers (or facebooking about it after-the-fact while parked in front of the pumps), the staff was super friendly, and they make a mean gyro.  : "God help you and have a nice day" : "YOU HATEFUL BITCH"Also, ya gotta love when "Do you even know who you're talking to?" comes up. Always a legit tactic in adult discussions, along with threatening to call "immigration" when the person you feel has slighted you looks to be vaguely ethic.

Or, I dunno, watch the goddamn game and see if you can figure out what's going on.

Being automatically dismissive about something someone likes is easier than spending five minutes a week keeping track of a random team so you have something to talk to your coworkers and friends about when sportschat comes up, so I can see why wet blankets/the socially inept do it.

nerd plus rage posted:Re: Smurfchat I had a stranger drunkenly explain to me one night at a bar when I was in college (get a bunch of young guys who don't know each other together and eventually they'll start talking about cartoons they watched as kids, it's a scientific fact) that the smurfs were totally communists, living happily together off the land and sharing everything together. No smurf used his skills or talents to rise above the others (e.g. Brainy didn't withhold solutions to problems from other smurfs, Handy didn't build all the cool poo poo for himself) and they all got along well. Gargamel, with his huge nose and dark hair, was apparently supposed to represent the Jews, who covetously sought to convert the labor of the working smurfs into gold through deception and dark arts. Actually I should make an image macro of this and put it on social media because I bet it'll get a bazillion shares edit: quote:A friend of ours, the wife of a pastor at a church in Colorado, had once told me about something her daughter, Hannah, said when she was three years old. After the morning service was over one Sunday, Hannah tugged on her mom’s skirt and asked. “Mommy, why do some people in church have lights over their heads and some don’t?” At the time, I remember thinking two things: First, I would’ve knelt down and asked Hannah, “Did I have a light over my head? Please say yes!” I also wondered what Hannah had seen, and whether she had seen it because, like my son, she had a childlike faith. kid's obviously a budding interior designer, wondering why the church had so few light fixtures GOTTA STAY FAI has a new favorite as of 23:20 on Feb 17, 2016 |
