  • Well it was posted about by psypost which is dogshit and constantly spams headlines like this based off studies with n=25 chinese teenagers, online survey

    But then psypost writes a 50 paragraph “blog” post about it like its gospel and never mentions these insane limitations, and almost everybody happily accepts these posts because the headline meets se confirmation bias if theirs, or an expected one at least, then sprints to the comments to blather on and on about it, never even reading the original crappy study

    Its all really unscientific but masquerades as scientific fact

    I despise psypost and think it should be banned

    We cant even verify the methodology or sample size of this one but look at all the commenters in this thread who have seemingly accepted it as valid science

    Bro literally asks for “data to support this”

    So I guess they wanted someone to say

    yeah theres data to support this, trustmebro™

    And thats it

    Because usually people looking for DATA would use the internet search function, NOT expect verbal responses which DO NOT constitute data

    I dont understand all the idiots downvoting you because I wouldve done the same thing

    You want data, search the web

    You want anectdotes, talk on a forum

    Its annoying when people expect to be spoonfed credible data on a forum rather than taking 5 seconds to find it themselves (and sharing it, imagine that, fucking utopic) instead of someone else spending double that time finding it and writing a comment with sources in reply (thats called spoonfeeding)

    But hey here comes the airplane I guess









  • Yeah were fuckin forced

    I have an appointment in Toronto and I live in Kitchener. I can drive for 1.5hrs to get there, or lets take 4hrs out of my day to take 5 different buses to get there. Thats also ignoring the trip to Waterloo international airport because my work is nearby and thats where the bus leaves from.

    Then I have to turn around and spend another 4hrs getting back? Or if its after 8pm im fucked theres apparently no way to even get back all the way, id have to take a taxi or uber accross kitchener

    Also this will cost me probably $100 round trip too

    So yeah were pretty forced into driving



  • Forgot about home row, they tried to teach me to type their way but I didnt like that

    Now I type faster than most but thats not saying much

    However I look at the keyboard only, instead of the screen only like they tried to teach

    My way I can move my fingers as fast as possible and i’m accurate, I know what key I hit so I know what it says on the screen without looking
