Yet somehow no one cared to check the Death Registry...
In fear of finding the brave and stunning men under their dead name, presumably.
Not coincidently it is the MT Freedom Caucus who filed the paperwork calling for the Campaign Finance investigation to be opened into Zac. So it is looking a little bit "witch hunty" on the part of the MTFreedom Caucus at this point. It also doesn't help that exactly zero local news outlets have written an article into this investigation, so based on where we stand now this whole investigation is looking like it will be a big nothing burger.
I wouldn't be surprised. Even if Zac gets reelected by a Missoula college force committed to pissing off republican mommy and daddy, I don't worry too much about him shitting up the house for more than a week again. He's likely to dig into old wounds out of spite and there we go, shut the fuck up and vote from your seat young man if you can't play nice with the grown ups. Like a Montana sideshow.
Leor Sapir makes a correct point about drawing conclusions from incomplete data, Tony takes his analogy and gets it arse-over-tit: "People who have a bad experience always complain about it!"
I suddenly feel great about my knowledge of statistics thanks to trans researcher Erin Reed being a self appointed researcher and being worse than me at it. Thanks, glad I can get a job by pulling things out of my ass too.
I can't decide whether Tony's utter lack of empathy is "just" narcissism or whether there's a more serious psychopathy at play.
Narcissism can get that dire. He's mostly self serving, and if serving himself means telling others invalid news then it's ok with him, he won't feel the direct consequences of it - after all, look at all his likes and asspats, people love him and see him as an authority and he can't be wrong!
I think if you showed him direct consequences from his actions he'd go into turbo denial mode and become really defensive, so he'd know what guilt is and that it makes him look bad. It's just super easy to be extra callous on the internet where you're behind a screen and
no one knows you're a dog and you can't see other's faces, you just farm big number likes. He's an in the moment guy.
Masters in sociology, attempted a PhD, and thinks his SurveyMonkey questionnaires are comparable to medical research.
They are: see all the likes and all the interviews he gets? See how much he's cited?
He doesn't process that this could happen with shit like "vaccines cause autism". He's appealing to a (niche) majority, and everyone agreeing with him is a sign he is correct and therefore an authority that's right. I don't know if his brain can think father than that.
As a disclaimer, I'm probably leaning towards the theory Erin Reed had his brain fried by drugs and asspats so his already poor future planning and short term consequence meter is fucked up to the point he just isn't putting two and two together that he's a callous dickhead. I think he works off his audience (as he talked about his multiple attempts at mimicking others) so a lack of an in-person auditorium comprised of a variety of people instead of twatters helps distort it. I feel bad saying he just comes off as a dumbass to me, and I could be very well mistaking malice for stupidity and incompetence because I think that lowly of him.
I think that's why he seems so utterly perplexed when people disagree with him and can't engage with their points, he specifically spends all his time memorising that question 1's answer is c and so on, and doesn't actually grasp that you can come to conclusions based on understanding a subject
Great way to put it, succinct.
In my opinion, Tony has some genuine borderline traits
Very good observation. Mood swings & inappropriate, intense anger are the two I see the least of, but he could be hiding them from online better. I remember his big bitch outs with others and shitting on those damn dirty detrans with a startlingly nasty attitude out of nowhere, so he could just be good at tempering it online to a point. The profound feeling of emptiness is very much him.
Imagine just chilling at the beach until you see these two taking a stroll by the water...
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
Is this to imply the viewer of these two lovely ladies would think that these atlantian beauties were spawns of Dagon, or is it to imply that the viewer instead would instantly be driven to madness and cheering for the world to end, attempting to summon and praise the great old one on the beach then and there? Because I can believe either.
There was a case where a guy cut off some trannies' penises in horribly botched "sex-change" operations and the only way that
they were able to get one of them to press charges was by showing him that the surgeon had been getting off on it.
I wish I could give this 5+ islamic contents. It's hard to describe otherwise.
Strange how you hear a much different story about regret when you talk to the surgeons compared to when you survey the troons.
Good find. Sadly you're wrong since trans people are authorities on their own bodies and totally are saying this because *shuffles papers* ah, they were paid by big republicans to genocide trans people with false research.
School is not real life. Some people are really, really good at the type of thinking that university requires, but absolutely awful when it comes time to putting skills into practice. Tony strikes me as that sort.
Kiwis who suck at school, take comfort. You're likely better than you think you are. This man has a job grifting people of their money and fooling himself into believing his own lies, you likely can get a better and more fulfilling job than him.
I might be joking when I say they can't (I'm not, they can't), but they obviously don't.
Hardcore twitter users feel like the epitome of TL;DR. Somehow they read the words but don't grasp what they mean, functionally illiterate.
Also fuck you for making me think of Batman vs Superman.
You can quickly see how we'd get into trouble were we to attempt a systematic review of, say, lobotomy, but the review team had to be assembled from
That's different: EVERYONE knows lobotomy is wrong
(editor's note: who is everyone?) while EVERY STUDY and EVERYONE who's ever READ and SEEN trans studies knows
(e/n: which studies?) that TRANSITIONING IS THE ONLY WAY and 100% BACKED BY THE TRUE SCIENCE.
I think this might how it actually plays out in the moment in Erin Reed's head. I say in the moment since he seems to come to a "true" statement, in this case all trans people who get medical transitioning are happy, then tries to cover the (am)hole with as many shitty patches of excuses as possible to make it work. If you choose to say he's wrong and misinterpret his facts, it's ok, he'll think of another reason lightning fast to patch over the one you just ripped into, or convince you it IS patched up right and you're the one too stubborn to see it.
I think that's one of the reasons I loath him to be honest: he's not the brightest, at best he's average, but he's great at fooling the onlookers who don't read too much into it or want to be told that their point is right into thinking he's making intelligent points and statements. He's harder to dismantle without having the patience to read and take his pseudoresearcher jargon apart, he gets by on twitter not being full of Geraniums and Not Dr. Evils, and when people like that DO appear AND take the time to dismantle it, most of his audience's eyes glaze over and ignore it. Successful at copying the notes, unsuccessful at putting it into his own words, but he's on a platform that eats that shit up so it's not usually brought up. He's a more boring cow to get into due to his jargon and can be glossed over in spite of bluffing like crazy.
everyone does it cos everyone else does it. that research would produce more meaningful results if data analysis was done by someone who didn't just repeat the same invalid methods they see in every paper.
Are you saying that scientists are fallible? You saying research backed authorities make bad calls or misinterpret data due to human error when that data lines up with all these correct studies on trans people? You saying Erin Reed's degree is meaningless when he can't apply basic gray area thinking to his black and white argument (isn't that also a cluster B trait?)? You fucking crazy, experts are experts for a reason.
Meanwhile, he hasn't posted on Twitter in… 4 hours (it's currently 8.12am UTC):
He wants to move, but he forgot if he doesn't have a villain to dunk on he can't win. He wants the platform he's on to let him be the Harlem Globe Trotters to his supervillain enemies, always dunking on them and getting cheering claps from the crowd and the opposition too powerless to fight back. He wants to demonstrate that he's better than his enemies consistently, with no variables that can't be controlled by mods to interrupt his stunning beautiful performance of being better than others (so give him attention and likes for being superior).
But so does everyone else on twitter and it's why most of them drop hugboxes. Hugboxes are great with comfy mods letting you be right, but there's no enemy to argue with and get 10 points on since most people are too fucking smart to sign up for a hugbox of an opposing ideology (and if they did anyway, doesn't matter: they'll get banned shortly and don't return). So Erin keeps on twitter and keeps yelling that YOU are defeated and not him for he cannot get mods to do it anymore. Sad, many such cases across the twitter political spectrum.
