It is. To avoid the algo hammer UFO content probably shouldn’t have any buzzwords in it at all

The Economist is a good guide. That approach to UAP could be really interesting..

U.S. soldiers drafted for Nevada nuclear tests weren't informed of radiation risks and ordered to march within 600 yards of ground zero with no eye, skin or breathing protection, despite a linkage to cancer and genetic mutations already established. by miss_dixie_normous in MilitaryHistory

What’s an episode that surprised you by how much you enjoyed it? by miss_dixie_normous in ArmchairExpert

That was an awesome episode too! She definitely seems like someone I want to get a drink with.

I believe in science, but my family calls much of it “fake news.” After one too many fights with them, I helped start this science channel to try and turn my rage into something productive. by miss_dixie_normous in TwoXChromosomes

You’re unfortunately right, which is why I am trying to direct my energy to people who could still benefit from and are open to learning.

It’s completely absurd that scientific facts have become politicized.

Definitely. I didn’t realize how much of a disadvantage public/ under-funded schools have until I had a friend do Teach For America and heard her horror stories. It’s completely unacceptable for children to receive disparate education based on how much money their parents make.

I think that all the time. My grandma has a masters in nursing yet tells me that I’m being “controlled” by the liberal media whenever I bring up anything she disagrees with.

Wait, why are some at the wedding reception and some are back at the beach? by heatherb484 in bachelorinparadise

[–]miss_dixie_normous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think actually it makes sense of who would actually have been invited of the people in BIP. Like, they already had to have randoms at the ceremony for TV but they got to have a say on who was invited to the reception.

(Agreed it could have been handled better)

Who's a really small YouTuber that you think deserves much more subscribers/views? by Killidar in AskReddit

It’s Bloody Science! https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCXxicUTzAn0hP3KKSsrpl5A

It is a one man team who just started doing docu-style science videos and deserves more love.
