I wish I could say this didn’t happen every day, but it does. I was in a “centrist” group on social media, mostly because I am sick and tired of both the left and the right, and we were talking about how both extremes on the political spectrum were following the same playbook, just for different audiences.
Someone popped up and said “you don’t know what you’re talking about!” Really? Then why are my posts getting absurdly up-voted and yours are getting endlessly down-voted? I think you’ve got that backwards. Continue reading The Epitome of the Dunning-Kruger Effect
So let’s talk about the Disney live-action Little Mermaid movie. I don’t care about it, not remotely, even though the animated movie was one of my favorite Disney movies of all time.
So, I just got permanently banned from Reddit for the stupidest imaginable reason. I don’t really care, it just shows what a complete waste of time it is, but here’s the story anyhow.
I’m going to take an entirely irrelevant example that I came across on Reddit to show just what is wrong with humanity. I trust nobody is going to be surprised in the end. This is a completely throw-away example, but I think it illustrates the point.
This isn’t a new story, in fact, it’s just an ongoing tale of how screwed up our society is these days, but they’ve just turned one of the robot characters in the new Transformers show non-binary.
So this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but Joe Biden sucks. Have you looked around lately? Banks are failing, the stock market is a mess and confidence is at an all time low. Even the Democrats want someone else to run in 2024, just two weeks into Biden’s official run.
I just got done talking to another theist and, as expected, it didn’t go well. The second they get backed into the wall or their core beliefs are questioned, off into the hills they run. What else is new?
So the Writer’s Guild is on strike. So what? I bring it up only because I heard on the radio yesterday, they were talking about it and saying “poor them”, but I don’t think so for a number of reasons and therefore, I am not remotely sympathetic.
This is a case that I just ran into, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. I just don’t want people to accuse me of being against religion per se or against politics per se. I am against stupidity, full stop.
Real quick this time because I think I’ve already made my point, but I just saw this and wanted to throw it out there. Here’s a clip that was made off of Atheist Experience and I think it has good points and bad points. So first, here’s the clip, located conveniently below the fold. It’s less than a minute. Take a look and I’ll see you when you’re done.
