Quora - Yahoo answers Younger, more autistic cousin

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

I don't know if someone already brought up this before in this thread. There is a lot of fucking disgusting commies in that site, and the worse i've seen is this fucking faggot:

Not just commies, I posted about finding unironic Idi Amin fanboys earlier in the thread. There's probably supporters of Pol Pot and every other famous dictator too.

This afrocentrist screed is the top answer, by the way. Actual answers explaining that modern egyptians, especially the Copts, are virtually identical to the ancients are listed far lower even though they are far more accurate than "It's in Africa, therefore they were black until the yppo erased us!"

Spoiler: Is 'Jerry' a slur to Germans?

Spoiler: Are there people in my phone?

Spoiler: Sleep, I Never Knew thee.

Spoiler: Slumdog millionaire.

Lol. As recently as July 2020, there's been questions about Kiwi Farms. Not sure if this has been posted, but I wonder if they know about thread here.

Of course, this pertains to autistic people.

How right are the Kiwi Farms in their assessment of autistics as perpetually disadvantaged? - Quora

Like most people on the alt-right, Kiwi Farms couldn’t tell the truth from a lie if they were ass-fucked by an encyclopedia.
We’re perpetually disadvantaged, yeah. But we’re also, simultaneously, perpetually advantaged. If the world were run by autistic people, allistic people would be the ones considered to have a mental illness, and specifically, that mental illness would be considered a relative of schizophrenia.
To radically oversimplify, schizophrenia is what happens when a person cannot tell that their beliefs bear no relationship to the evidence around them.
That’s what allistics are like from the perspective of us autistic people.

You guys grow up being able to “perceive” emotions in others. That means you’re mostly blind to the fact that you aren’t actually perceiving other peoples’ emotions. All you’re doing is perceiving patterns of behavior and thoughtlessly ruling out most of the possible explanations for that behavior.
Somehow, and we totally don’t get it, but somehow, you all still manage to mostly live in the same world as each other. But there are times when one of you “perceives” an emotion in someone else that simply isn’t there. And we all watch, dumbfounded, as you all remain completely convinced of these perceptions, even though there is no evidence whatsoever for them.

Social drama? Yeah, ninety nine times out of a hundred, that drama can just be avoided entirely by not assuming you know how the other person is feeling. It’s what I do, and I have no regrets. And yeah, I’m autistic, of course it’s what I do, I have no other choice; but I’m telling you, knowing what I know from my experience being autistic, if you “fixed” me tomorrow and gave me the ability to “perceive” other peoples’ emotions the way all you allists do, I would mostly ignore it, and continue living knowing that I don’t strictly know how people were feeling. Because I don’t have time for faulty perceptions that just create random shitty drama.
Is it a disadvantage to have a harder time guessing how people are feeling? Yes. It is. I’m not some apologist. We’re not übermenschen, I’m not an idiot, but there’s some good that comes along with that bad.

And there’s a second side of the story too; the same feature of our autistic brains that makes social context harder for us, also makes other kinds of thinking easier.
Basically, nobody is quite sure what autism actually is, biology-wise, brain-wise. But one of the major theories is that we don’t have as many connections between disparate areas of the brain, and our neurons focus more on local connections. The theory goes that that means that skills that require coordination between multiple brain regions, like social skills, are at a deficit, but skills that require only a single brain region, like paying attention to visual details or doing mathematical calculations, are enhanced.

In my experience? Yeah. We autistic people are generally better at math, and we pay attention to details way better than the rest of you. Again, we’re not übermenschen, I’m not an idiot, but there’s some good that comes along with that bad, yeah.

So how right is Kiwi Farms in their assessment of autistics as perpetually disadvantaged? Like most people on the alt-right, Kiwi Farms doesn’t have the brainpower to tell the difference between lies and the truth. They’re too allistic-schizoid to tell when specifically it is that their beliefs bear no connection to reality.

Was about to post a screenshot lol.

What I miss about Yahoo answers (and I've seen people claim Quora is Yahoo Answers for "smart" people) is that you expected 99.9% of the people there to be trolls. Meanwhile, Quora is filled with people who are just as bad as the Yahoo answers trolls, except they have supposed "qualifications" and think they know what they're talking about.

I don't know if someone already brought up this before in this thread. There is a lot of fucking disgusting commies in that site, and the worse i've seen is this fucking faggot:

I think a lot of Quora users are secretly commies, either them or all the libtards on there.

Ironic how I've seen answers far less "controversial" being downvoted/flagged/removed but shit like that gets to stay.

I think it leads to some really funny moments when questions get asked that draw the right people to them. When the guy in that comment I quoted says he's autistic, he really means it. I'm convinced he's the top comment only because people rated him up for laughs. It's one of the most un-self-aware things I've seen in a long while.

I think a lot of the users/upvoters are autistic as well, only difference is, they don't publicity admit that. Quora is exactly the site to draw these types of people.

I'm also certain a lot of Quora users aren't self-aware. I mean, if you've seen a lot of the bias and self-projection that they put in their answers, then well...

 

[Jarolleon]

why is quora infested with indians who suck at speaking english?

I'm just going to guess that after being ruled by Brahmins and posh Anglos for centuries, appearing learned is far more valued in their culture than others, thus a higher proportion of pretentious Pajeets exist to flock to that website vs. other English-speaking nations. Plus it's the most populous English-speaking (technically) nation in the world.

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

except they have supposed "qualifications" and think they know what they're talking about.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've seen some glasses wearing r/athiesm kid sperg on Christians on this site, thinking he's the smartest man alive with a description of """personal achievements"" and ""qualifications.""

It's actually pretty funny if I'm being honest.

Is this a boomer attempt at a joke, or is he an incel?

Funny how atheists on this site are more rabidly obsessed with religion than vice versa. NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RELIGION YOU FUCKING FEDORA SPERG

No, it's just population size and the fact that outside the top private schools education in India is bad.

This is a very interesting question.

 

[Quantum Diabetes]

These quora emails are like digital herpes. Apparently some people get fractions of a cent for writing literally anything. "Why does my cat only lick its butt counterclockwise?"
"What does coke taste like flat"?

Just eat my fuck. All of it, quora.

I once asked a question about the Yom Kippur war and the top answer guy literally said “I don’t know this BUT” and he started talking about some fuckin fighter pilot, same as the other people, literally not answering my question and just farming upvotes

If you're still looking for a basic understanding of the Yom Kippur War, Kings and Generals did a pretty good video covering the conflict.

Actual answers explaining that modern egyptians, especially the Copts, are virtually identical to the ancients are listed far lower even though they are far more accurate than "It's in Africa, therefore they were black until the yppo erased us!"

What a shame it is that hieroglyphs exist showing the skin tone of the ancient egyptians vs. the peoples they went to war with and conquered. Then again this is probably why the arabs love blowing up and destroying cultural heritage sites.
