Originally posted by MORALLY SUPERIOR BEING V: A Cat-Girl/Boy Under Every Bed Genuine question. I always liked seeing disasters and unusual things, like dashcam footage. Even beheading footage.
It seems like an odd thing not to want to see.
I haven’t tbh and I am not even curious about it. I only read the memo.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-11-08 at 7:36 AM UTC in Journals publish hoaxers’ absurd gender studies. LMAOThe best thing I've seen in quite a while.
The story of how a trio of concerned left-wing academics published seven intentionally absurd papers in leading scholarly journals in what has become known as 'The Grievance Studies Affair'.
They gulled academic journals to publish hoax papers on ‘grievance studies.’
One of these studies, for example, was that they rewrote a section of "Mein Kampf" as intersectional feminism and one journal accepted it.

2018-11-08 at 9:46 AM UTC in Journals publish hoaxers’ absurd gender studies. LMAOAs the authors of this experiment note, papers can be used to promote questionable racial politics from all sides.
This matters because even though most people will never read a single scholarly paper in their lifetimes, peer-reviewed journals are the absolute gold standard of knowledge production. And these concepts leak into culture. A good example of this is Robin DiAngelo’s concept of “white fragility,” which posits that white people have become fragile because of their privilege and will act out like spoiled children if it is challenged. DiAngelo forwarded this concept in the International Journal of Critical Pedagogy in 2011. Seven years later, in 2018, she landed a major book deal on white fragility, even as activists pushed it into the common parlance and started putting it on billboards around Portland, Oregon."
There are plenty of crap journals out there that will happily publish crap. This is not news to anyone paying attention.
However, the thing is, it is really hard for someone outside of the specific field/sub-field to know which are leading journals and which are crap journals. For example, I have no clue myself where some journals stand, and I try so hard everytime to read as much sources as I can, enhancement, re-enhancement in the hope that I'll get somewhere.
Once I started to read on a story. It was about smth that happened during the WWII in Italy. I thought it would be easy to verify.
My god, I was so wrong. I spent the whole night going link after link, after link and I still don't know the "truth", or even close to smth that might have a resemblance to it. While reading one source it seemed good enough and convincing to me. Then, I would read the counterarguments and they sounded good enough and convincing as well.
In the end I was left more clueless than when I started. lolThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Technologist Why do you hate him Speeds?
Not sure if I should ask this, but what the heck;-)
Not a jedi hater, the opposite in fact. I judge him as an individual and for his deeds.
He has caused a lot of trouble, and continues to do so, everywhere, with his money and "Open Society" my ass thing.
He has financed groups and organisations dubious NGO's in Serbia, Albania, Hungaria, Slovakia, Ucraine, Italy (these I know for sure at least). Trying to sabotage and possibly overthrown governments who are elected by the people of those countries, and impose his agenda or whoever it belongs to. To call him shaddy is un understatement.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Well to a degree…but if you are a genius and only living on $1 a day…well someone is lying or nucking futs.
Well, you don't have to be a genius, of course. But as you said, it also depends from where you live and the opportunities that you get. Some don't even realise their potential, unless given an opportunity. Even just to be aware of it.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Reciting lines from Lord of the Rings doesn't count.
You can recite almost anything you want in Quenya and Sindarin. It's a well developed language, with a script as well, that a lot of people have learned and there are teaching courses for it.
Adûnaic is not complete, and Black speech I think it's a language devised for fictional settings? Not sure about it but there isn't much written in that language, except for the One Ring inscription?
I actually wanted to learn Quenya and Sindarin, though I know some words from the books. I kinda regreat now not doing it.
I know I don't need it, but it's a beautiful language. And hey, my friend learned Aramaic for no reason at all, just cause she liked it. lol
