12·2 months agoYou think that a majority of humans are dumber than most humans, which says about as much as I think I need to know about your critical thinking skills.
My defense (defense of what?) was not “butbut there are a lot of them!” (why did you use “there are” and then “there is” in subsequent sentences?). Rather than defending anything, I was pointing out how you wrote something stupid. The larger the group you are talking about, the less precise you can be and the less likely what you are saying is accurate. You managed to choose one of the largest targets you possibly could demographically and wrote a sweeping generalization which is just stupid. I don’t have to defend anything: you have to defend writing something so stupid and you can’t because it’s just stupid. You write stupid things.
There are billions of Christians. This is stupid.
I have heard for years and years that “the other parts of 4chan” than /b are good, but I’ve never seen it myself.
If you didn’t read it, then don’t comment. The Internet does not need more ignorant takes.
I thought it was pretty obvious, since there is so little actual content in the post, but I guess you’re right. Thanks.
With whom did he share these documents?
It was wrong and it should be not wrong. Odd that that is a controversial statement and that you used Reddit-level reasoning about a dissertation when someone just wants others to not spread untruths.
He also was not sentenced. This post is misinformation.
I am genuinely disappointed that on an ostensibly science-related message board I see comments along the lines “this isn’t actually true, but it kinda-sorta is, therefore, inaccurate claims somehow aren’t misinformation”. If all kinds of counter-factual things were true, then all kinds of things would be true: what is the point of this hand-waving to defend something that is riddled with untruths? Also, with whom did he purportedly share these documents? In 22 words, this person got no fewer than two things wrong and you are carrying water for what reason?
It is not true that he was sentenced to 35 years in prison by US authorities for transferring and sharing scientific articles from JSTOR. It is true that he killed himself.
It makes two claims and he did commit suicide. Also, my keyboard is broken. :/
Please don’t spread misinformation.
Edit: Why is anyone downvoting this? The text is inaccurate and should not be posted.
1·5 months agoNo one said that it is all like that, but enough of /b/ is so gross as to taint the reputation of the entire site. Allowing some of the stuff that is on there is enough guilt by association, even if some of the other boards have better discourse.
Wow. How old are you?
