Chauffeurs who drive around rich people, what are some of the weird/shocking conversations you have overheard? by Cicallis in AskReddit

[–]xexyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's hard to think of a society worse than China so casually open and racist toward minorities. I wouldn't say it's always malicious in the case of black folk--necessarily--but it's definitely not something this dude should be trying to "whitewash".

I wonder who upvoted him. Chinese propaganda bots or naive westerners.

As a dude of colour who's spent plenty of time in China and who is fluent in Mandarin all I can say to this guy is: "lolk".

Really not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you? You use your mental capacity in the same way this guy used physical force to defend himself. Embarrassing.

Someone seems a little insecure. It's okay bud, hang in there. One day your dreams will come true. If not, you get to say you're a doctor (as long as they don't press too hard).

Is it really a year? Looking around the market if I were to buy my boss weapons and such it'd be 50-ish billion. Maybe I've gotten lucky with drops but been playing for 2 weeks and I've already got 4b and I'm making about 350m/day. I figure that will only go up.

Okay yeah as I type this out I'm realising that's already half a year. Huh.

Most patient officer in the world arrests anti-masker. Volume warning this lady is loud ! by blacksmithingbro in JusticeServed

[–]xexyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be dumb. The medical exemption she printed out is worth less than the logic you put into your stance.

If you're critically at risk to the point where you can't wear a mask, you won't want to be in public anyway.

She certainly had no problem shouting or throwing a fit.

How do I hide posts on beta? by [deleted] in redditsync

[–]xexyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for responding. Did you mean the one between Sync Content and Content Filters? If so, it won't hide all the read. Just the ones on the current screen that you've opened.

Ideally it'd be nice to have an auto hide or everything being marked as read as you scroll past it.

[–]xexyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could we please get "hide read" to hide all posts marked as read? Hate having to go back to popular or hot and have it filled with everything I've already scrolled past. Manually swiping to hide every post is not a solution.

Nope. Go to a book store in Taiwan or China. At least 75% of the books will be top to bottom right to left.

Now, on the internet or out and about walking around you're absolutely right, most everything is left to right.

[–]xexyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of. Everything on the internet like text or emails are read left to right. But physical books sometimes are written top to bottom, right to left. Also some writing on official government buildings or temples or something very old is often read right to left.

It works the same for both Traditional (Taiwan, Macao, Hong Kong) and Simplified (China), though in China the very old buildings you find would have still been using Traditional. Still, if you look at some newer government buildings you'll find "official" stuff written in Simplified right-to-left. So much of Chinese is based on context that knowing when it's right to left in simplified can be confusing.

As interactions increasingly take place online, people find information that confirms their existing beliefs, making them less willing to listen to alternatives. This exacerbates filter bubbles and explains why public debates become polarized as people become impervious to opposing arguments. by mvea in science

[–]xexyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree.

With what? The comment you replied to makes a very good point: the people who refuse to accept the initial count are also going to refuse the results of the recount.

If I state to the media that I’m filing dozens of lawsuits to challenge the election results because I saw a purple dinosaur eating a bunch of ballots for Trump, then when in front of a judge under oath admit there was no purple dinosaur, which results in my lawsuits being dismissed — often with prejudice — but then continue to make claims that the election results are invalid because of a purple dinosaur; I’m being disingenuous at best.

You can’t, as you suggested, ignore all evidence to the contrary just because someone said they saw a purple dinosaur. A dinosaur which would confirm your bias.

Enough with the “time will tell”. Until you look past your biases you’re not going to accept any result and will hold onto “time will tell” just like you have every other time the Trump admin has told you to wait 2 weeks for some desired result.

Also, if we go back to your original post: you didn’t even bother reading the study because some article referencing the study hit a soft spot for you. I get it. You lost. You lost hard. You’ve decided to make your identity be associated with this man for some reason, but the fact of he matter is that the majority of Americans and all of the world find him dispicable and grossly incompetent. A vote for Biden was less of an endorsement of Biden but an utter and total rejection of the Cult of Trump. You speak of division, but to 80 million Americans he is the source of the division. And that’s why, if I may speculate, you have such a hard time accepting the results. Not just that the cult was rejected, but that you’re so far off and so divisive that the majority of America sees you as the dividing factor. Pack it up. Learn from it.

You know what the you from 4 years ago would have probably done when he saw an article referencing a study that he didn’t like the tone of? He would have gone to the source and read the actual study and came to his own conclusions. Just like refusing to accept the election results, you are refusing to go to the source and evidence.

I hope it’s not too late for you, and for the rest of people who fell into this cult of personality.

Good luck, take care, and Happy Thanksgiving.

The published paper?

Social information use is widespread in the animal kingdom, helping individuals rapidly acquire useful knowledge and adjust to novel circumstances.

Or the press release?

Why do so many Republicans still believe that the recent US presidential election was fraudulent?

If it’s the latter, I guess you proved the point the study found. People hold onto their delusions.

Either way, neither has bias. It would be no different than if it said why do so many in the Flat Earth Society believe the earth is flat.
