It is almost as if my mom wants me to hate her...

At 10 pm, loud notification from FB (because do not disturb at night technology is beyond zuckerbergs abilities...)
"you still awake?" :blobcatgooglytrash:

And when I said yes, then the response was
"sweet dreams" :blobcatnerd:

Why? Why are you doing this? Di you realy feel the need to bother me, but have absolutely nothing to say? NOTHING? Not want to call? Not anything? WHYYYY :alexjonesfight:

Jürgen Conings 

"A qell-trained sniper from the Belgian army, Jurgen Conings, who has combat experience in several war zones including Afghanistan, Iraq and Lebanon, disappeared on Monday. Having reportedly left life-threatening notes to several top officials, the 46-year-old man is believed to have taken several anti-tank missiles, a submachine gun and a handgun with an ability to pierce bulletproof vests from his unit’s ammunition depot. He himself is believed to be wearing the vest." Godspeed Jürgen. A real hero.

@matana
I am not blaming you.

I do not know you, so if what I say now does not fit, feel free to correct me.

But if you want him to accept no as no, you must NEVER use it as yes. I am trying to be ultra-brutally honest to my roommate, but I still do understand, when I had to reassure her several times that I meant no.

Because people do not communicate that way. Even autistic people like me preffer to say no when they mean yes. To deny this is to deny just how complicated human lifes truly are.

@LukeAlmighty Good point there too. You are right that it is not always the scientists, though in some cases when one is in line with the journalist's thinking without coercion. But perhaps there are more cases of journalists doing what journalists do, whether because they are knowingly lying or that they have a big enough ego to think they actually understand the scientific method when they do not.

It was @Moon who outlined the "they will never, ever, live you alone" critique of Libertarian dogma to me. I found it quite devastating. It turns out that this idea is an official Anarchist thought, per this Michael Malice interview.

Except people who say trust the science do not mean trust the scientist

They mean trust the news article written by a politically charged activist who maybe red a research paper that was released only because a politically charged company paid for a one-sided research by a scientist, who knew he won't get paid again, if he finds the opposite result...

So yeah.... I don't trust the science.

@houseoftolstoy

The issue with teaching science to all children is that normies will then conflate "science" with "truth" because the exams will always have a right or wrong answer.

When science is a method of finding and presenting evidence in order to justify a hunch or educated guess.

It is never the truth, because at any point new evidence could come out which disproves or weakens the reliablility of the current guess.

"ok so, if you were on a bridge on top of trolley track, with a fat guy.."
"oh I would push the fat guy under the trolley"
"so you'd save the people ?"
"what people ?"
