Years ago, in Australia, I wanted to watch Formula 1. It was only available on Foxtel. I had to pay $25/m to get Foxtel—all shit I didn’t want. Then $25 to get the sports package—mostoy all shit I also didn’t care about or watch. Then $25 to get HD (1080).

$75 to watch F1, no other options but finding pirate streams. After a couple rounds, of course I cancelled and just pirated once friends found reliable sources.

I don’t like the sound of a fatal funnel. I guess that’s how “Here’s Johnny” moments happen.

Well I had no symptoms. My partner was super sick and I had them test. Thought I would as well after they were positive, and I was too. I’d been on the mountain snowboarding all day and was all pumped and planning tomorrow, I felt excellent.

It was about a week later, my tinnitus would be incredibly loud at times. Every 30s or so, I’d get this weird palpitation sensation at the back of my skull, coupled with dizziness or pain in the head. Brain started just not working and I’d give up on thoughts. Then the fatigue hit and some days Id sleep up to 14 hrs when I usually sleep 6.5-7.5.

But still, not a single cough, sore throat, nothing. It was all in my skull and I could feel it in there.

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

I have long COVID. It’s hell. It’s like I’ve had chronic fatigue and some sort of.neuroloigcal damage for the past two years. But it is ever slowly improving and I’d guess I’m about 80% back to normal. I cannot wait to be back in full swing.

I’d do the same. If I were Walz and someone took a crack at Harris, I’d immediately bunker down until I heard more. That’s a very normal reaction to have and you lot are trying to make jokes about how abnormal it is.

Or am I weird and the correct human response is to hit play on I Will Survive, drop pants, and helicopter through the course?

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

Jokes on them. Thanks to Google, “day to day tasks” using a browser have been trained out of me.

In this context, you use the term “belief” very well.

Unless he doesn’t chew or his ass rests gapingly open, I don’t see how else a 3cm insect could get in there.

But will it blend?

This post is discussing the phenomenon of people thinking that science is objective and rigid when in reality it is anything but.

It’s not though. That’s all you.

The irony of such a statement…

I don’t want to deflate your assumption, but “Science is pure objectivity and truth”.

The assumption you introduced just added another layer on by bringing Marxism into it. And here’s the thing with that fallacy; you may be very right! But, it’s got nothing to do with the original statement anymore. It’s just going down tangents of a tangent that should be explored under their own initiative, not the blanket of “science”.

It’s not literal; as the fallacy credits, neither is it necessarily wrong. But(!!!), they’re just not related.

The entire post itself—and your reply—is social science. But science is incapable of alignment to any -ism. All isms are human-made. If they are 100% true, they are not isms.

Edit: Sorry, I’m drunk af, so probably you are right…maybe… At least in my mind, I’m just reading Statement B as literally as Statement A and therefore can’t see correlation without social agenda—theyre just two very different things. Science and agenda; or agenda using “science”. It’s bias. That’s very unscientific.

This is a clean example of an ignoratio elenchi fallacy.

Statement B attempts to use Statement A to make an unrelated point that isn’t necessarily untrue, but it is still unrelated.

This could be done with any combination of…

“Under capitalism, <random thing> is…”
“Under <random ism>, science is…”

They would all result in a statement that supports Speaker B, but is no longer relevant to what Speaker A stated, as the topic has changed. In this case, from science to capitalism.

I.e. It’s an anti-capitalism meme attempting to use science to appeal to a broader audience through relevance fallacy. Both statements may be true, but do not belong in the same picture.

Unless, of course, “that’s the joke” and I’m just that dumb.

Edit: I’m not a supporter of capitalism. But I am a supporter of science—haha, like it needs me to exist—and this is an interesting example of social science. It seems personal opinion is paramount to some individuals rather than unbiased assessment of the statement as a whole. Call me boring and autistic, but that’s what science be and anything else isn’t science, it’s just personal opinion, belief, theory, etc.

I hear lyrebirds in Australia mimic what sounds like human noises sometimes and it’s weird.

It’s rare and isn’t as “spot on” as documentaries make it out to be, but when it happens it’s always been when rock climbing in an area for most of the day and sometimes one comes along. They seem to pick up on the noises hikers and climbers make in those areas, which is mostly talking, laughing, cheering, etc. But like, it sounds nothing like another human, but you know that’s what it’s heard because it sounds like humans in the distance, just 10-20m away. Then they mix in random bird calls and it’s fun to guess each bird it’s trying to be.

It’s kind of surreal; certainly interesting. Terrible distraction when you’re supposed to be belaying someone who’s halfway up a cliff 🤣

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

That’s exactly how it felt. Like her imagination had daydreamed the scene long enough, it was time to put it out to the universe and be approached by all those agents and producers crammed in the commuter carriage of the inner south line.

I’ve been stuck on a train with a girl wearing headphones and singing along to Savage Garden. We all suffered.

She was even shutting her eyes tight and doing these ones…

If you’ve ever listened to just the vocals of a song without music, it was that, but also awfully off-key because she, of course, could not hear herself. Obnoxiously, I think she thought she was putting on a performance we were all impressed by. No one was impressed.

Excessive releases drive me away from a developer/manufacturer. It just underscores their priorities toward innovation and quality.
