If I had a nickel every time a Kennedy lost part of their brain, I’d have at least 4 nickels by now.

I was on an ostensibly leftist subreddit thread about Biden stepping down, and there were liberals talking about how Kamala is too risky because she’s not a white man, or because she’s otherwise too progressive to appeal to undecided voters. They’re wringing their hands about how even Kamala is too progressive and they should go with a conservative white guy instead.
But, I thought Biden was the only one capable of defeating Trump and anyone who disagreed was a secret Republican who wanted Trump to win?
Well, don’t worry, Biden supporters. I’ve taken your arguments to heart, and you can rest assured that I’ll write in Biden this fall, no matter who the Democrats decide to run. It’s the only way to defeat Trump.
See, I genuinely don’t know whether you’re joking or not.
Somewhere down at the 10th level: The parts in Sonic the Hedgehog where Sonic is about to drown underwater and the music gets really fast and dramatic.
Well, that seems to be the solution. Thanks. I know it’s silly that I had to ask, but there are so many things I could reset that I was worried I would accidentally make my life more difficult by resetting the wrong thing.
Whenever I try to log into Hexbear on Firefox, I get an error along the lines of “Error: incorrect_login”. However, I’m still able to log in when I use Chrome.
Is there an easy way to fix this? (E.g. is there something I can “clear” or “purge” or “reset”?) I’d really like to continue using Firefox rather than Chrome if possible.
I was thinking Rob Reiner from the thumbnail.
I visited the Wikipedia article on Henry Kissinger, and I noticed this sentence:
In contrast, Kissinger is an immensely beloved figure within China, with China News Service describing him in his obituary as someone “who had a sharp vision and a thorough understanding of world affairs”.[11][12]
What’s the deal with that?
The school I’m a grad student at is still on strike. Some faculty aren’t on board, but some are, including a history professor who specializes in labour studies. He played a bit of banjo at the picket line yesterday.
Some of those cannot reasonably be avoided in a shower, whereas it’s not necessary to urinate in the shower. Am I a weirdo for wanting to take very simple steps that reduce the amount of urine I come into contact with in my daily life? I don’t pee in my kitchen sink just because it goes down the drain and I know the dishes are going to get washed anyway.
If it “all” got washed down the drain, it would be unnecessary to clean showers (or sinks or toilets, for that matter).
I don’t think it’s “childish”, I think it’s gross and unhygienic, especially as someone who has to clean the shower/bathtub.
Thanks. 1 and 2 should make people suspicious of the theory, but don’t necessarily invalidate it. 3, on its own, should be enough for most people to reasonably dismiss her work (assuming scientists haven’t been systematically biased for the past 80 years).
I guess I’m more interested in the moving parts of WHY the theory is invalid (hearing that a million studies show a certain result is certainly strong evidence, but it’s not the same thing as an explanation). In the case of astrology, knowing literally anything about what stars and planets are makes it obvious that they don’t determine people’s destinies. Whereas I suspect most people would be unable to give a technical answer as to why scientists don’t take MBTI seriously, but DO take the Five Factors Model seriously.
after listing 3 reasons, you only focused on 1 and try to use the other reasons as weapons against it.
Can you clarify this?
Thinking about this further, I do want to acknowledge that I’ve failed to consider the element of power. Astrology is incorrect, but there’s not really a system of power that’s using astrology to oppress people, whereas there IS an infrastructure for using MBTI to oppress people.
I’m sorry to have spent so much effort nitpicking about this.
But honestly, “I think you’re dismissing MBTI for mostly correct but imperfect reasons, whereas my reasons for dismissing it are better reasons” is not a hill that strikes me as worth dying on, so I’m going to tap out here.
Putting aside the much longer and complex discussion that all science can be shaped by racism, anything that specifically involves psychology or sociology absolutely can and must be examined and invalidated for racist (or homophobic, transphobic, etc) history or we are just reinforcing white supremacy.
Sure, but that’s not the same thing as saying “This person said something racist, therefore we don’t need any other evidence to refute anything else they’ve ever said”. (The phrase “critical support” exists for a reason – sometimes people who are wrong about one thing are right about another). You mentioned that MBTI has been dismissed as pseudoscience by scientists for 80 years. I’m pretty sure those scientists were more rigorous than just “This person wrote a racist novel, therefore their argument is invalid”.
No need to fall back on fallacies.
I’m a bit confused by this. Are you saying I’m committing a fallacy (and if so, which one?) Or are you criticizing me for pointing out your fallacy (“This person was bad, therefore their theory is wrong” is just about the most textbook example of the genetic fallacy imaginable).
I don’t think MBTI is invalid because of it’s history (if I did that, I’d have to be opposed to EVERYTHING that has something bad in its history). I think it’s invalid for other reasons that I’ve discussed in other comments. I don’t think being a leftist means I have to be imprecise.
I just found out the rumours of JD Vance fucking a couch were made up. I can’t tell you how disappointed I am. As a couchfucker myself, I was hoping to finally be able to vote for someone who represents my interests. Sadly, I will no longer be voting for Trump/Vance this election.
