Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

Bathrooms: "Gee we should be making sure predators aren't pretending to be trans to get into women's bathrooms and attacking them," realizing this is essentially an urban legend and then dropping it.

Same with gender-affirming care for kids. Good-faith concern would be, "gee we should be making sure kids are appropriately assessed before receiving care and don't end up regretting it," realizing the numbers are tiny, kids are assessed and regret rates are miniscule and then dropping it.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

It's hilarious to me that every gym I ever worked out at has fancy plush toilet paper. Any other commercial space (restaurant, retail store...) saves cost with scummy one ply nonsense, but the gym is like "oh honey, we know you just did too much on bench press and exploded a hemorrhoid, here you go"

Spectrum moment of the week: saw someone walking by in a Nike sweatshirt, but looked down and they had on New Balance shoes. Literally wanted to stop them like "Sir! You stand for nothing! Your sweatshirt advertises lies! What do you even believe in?!"

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Lady working the checkout line yesterday asked me if I was ready for the storm. When I asked her if she was, she said "I'm never ready for anything, life just happens" and I don't think I've ever wanted to go back and steal someone else's answer as my own so much in my life...

I hate all the slang words young people use today. But I don't think that should be considered proof I'm an old man. You see, when I myself was young I also hated all the slang words people my age were using exactly as much. So this is just permanent for me...

There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.

“Neologism” is recorded in English as early as 1772 (and earlier in French as néologisme), which is fun because in the 1700s, the word itself was an autological word (a word that describes itself) and it is now a heterological word (a word that doesn’t describe itself or contradicts itself).

some frankly amazing AI slop that someone decided to try and post on the r/dataisbeautiful subreddit

an AI slop map of the united states that seems to be trying to indicate what the most popular food is in every state. it contains such gems as Alaska's favorite food being a reddish slab labeled "ALASKA", Oregon's favorite food being what looks like a steak sitting on top of a cereal bowl labeled "APPLE", California's being simultaneously a goblet full of red liquid labeled "SHRIMP COCKTAIL" and a beige slab labeled "TATO", Wyoming's being a crudely drawn bison labeled "WYMONG" and an oblong apple on Alabama labeled "CRANFISH". There is also a square to the right of Florida that just says "SALMON" for no reason.

the same image in context of a reddit post from the subreddit "r/dataisbeautiful" saying it's "the most popular food of each state from voting [OC]"
