There’s also ones like that where you wrap the floss around it yourself, which greatly reduces your plastic waste, especially if you use an eco friendly floss.

While I agree with your statement, that’s not really what this article is about.

It’s not pointless. I make a claim and you’re free to refute it. I’ve already done the research to make myself a secondary source, so you either believe me or your provide a conflicting source.

It speaks to this generation’s willingness to accept information presented to them as fact.

Those people are stupid and you shouldn’t trust a god damn thing anyone on the Internet says as gospel.

I actually witnessed the perfect exchange today. Someone made a claim. Someone else said, “Hey, this source I found suggests you’re wrong.”

The original commenter said, “here’s my source that contradicts that.”

They both Agreed on a middle ground and moved on

This is my method. If I sat something you disagree with, call me on it with a source to refute me.

Don’t ask me to type 4 words into Google for you. If your request for information can be completed with one hand, go fuck yourself. This is literally the point of “do your own research.”

I wouldn’t trust one God damn source you put in front of me. I’m going to research the antithesis to your statement just for a chance to prove you wrong.

I’d never trust you to provide me any evidence at all

Hmm, I wonder if I can use this on my Synology to manage things until I get around to finishing my proxmox setup.

Which is ridiculous because those people paid into the safety net when they had jobs. I was on unemployment for about 7 months and I didn’t feel the least bit guilty because I had been paying into it for 20 years. Well, technically my employers paid it, but they paid it with the results of my labor.

Although I did work a temp job doing physical labor during that, but it was mostly an effort to get a full time position in my career at that employer (it worked). Plus it helped with the depression from sending out hundreds of applications without getting a single interview.

I think they were being sarcastic.

It really depends. You just have to have the right boss and know when to work hard and when to coast.

For instance, for me hard work meant I was progressively promoted from a customer service agent to senior IT engineer within 5 years. But after that my upward mobility was capped, so I just coasted.

Why would Ted Cruz say ‘stop attacking Democrats’?

Because it’s a general discussion, not a research paper. Do you typically get requests to cite your sources in real life?

Besides being allergic to basically every seasonal allergen, I’m also allergic to fish. Not shellfish, regular fish. It sucks because it didn’t develop until my 20s.

You see, I’d have to care about others thinking I’m credible for that to matter.

It’s really a shame that alcohol is the best social anxiety medication out there.

If someone asks nicely, I’ll give them a source. But if the request is just “source?” they can look it up themselves.

I wouldn’t trust strangers on the Internet to spoon feed me information, so the only time I ask for a source is if I’m unable to find one.

Shit, a large chunk of my knowledge was gained by searching for a source to prove people wrong.

I had a rescue dog for a bit who looked a lot like that, but with slightly more German shepherd features.

She was an absolute nightmare. Severe separation anxiety, not at all house trained, and way too hyperactive to be in a rent house without a dog door.

Luckily for her and us, we found someone with 10 fenced in acres and a dog door who had recently lost a dog who looked just like her.

Careful, you’ll anger those who can’t admit they have a piss fetish.
