Watching Rings of Power Burn

I’m doing a fair bit of stuff over here that should be on my other blog, but really, it probably belongs here because it’s addressing a lot of the idiotic social issues of the left.

CBR.com just put out an article on Amazon’s Rings of Power, where it virtue signals the whole way and shows that none of them have learned any lessons.

Why should anyone be surprised? Continue reading Watching Rings of Power Burn

More Stupidity, the Pet Edition

I just decided to throw this one out there because… why not? Over on Facebook, I’m in a bunch of local pet groups, mostly because I find my fair share of stray dogs and getting them reunited with their families is pretty high on my list of things to do. I’ve done it twice in the past two weeks already.

Yet that’s another place to find a lot of really, really stupid people. Let’s dive right in. Continue reading More Stupidity, the Pet Edition

Telling Dicks Not to be Dicks

While I’m at it, let’s do another one. Someone posted a “news story” about an old guy yelling at a 9-year old girl at a track meet, something like that, and he “misgendered” her. The thing is that, because she had short hair, he assumed that she was pretending to be a boy.

This goes off the rails almost immediately because of people’s inherent political and social biases. Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Telling Dicks Not to be Dicks

The Epitome of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

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

Sounds Just Like Religion, Right?

So I came across this video today over on Nerdrotic where they were showing a video of Bill Maher making fun of the woke leftist mob, comparing them to Mao’s Cultural Revolution. It’s a worthwhile watch, the video is below the fold, but the one thing that I wanted to point out is that all of this sounds an awful lot like something else we’re familiar with around here.

It sounds just like religion. Continue reading Sounds Just Like Religion, Right?

The Problem of the Burden of Proof

I see so many people getting this wrong that I thought I’d write a  quick post on it. Lots of people misunderstand what the burden of proof is and when they actually have to trot their proof out. It’s really not that hard, but I’ve seen lots of people giving bad information, or at least suggesting bad information.

So here’s how it works. Continue reading The Problem of the Burden of Proof
