"This study says...", sorry mate but your bias is so on your sleeve that I'm not gonna be trusting any studies you cite because the thing is it's very easy to do a "study" that says anything you want, and it's just not worth my time to read tripe that just coincidentally supports exactly your position

(This is about "articles" that have "evidence" that just so happens to align with what the writer would want, and it's for some site that's gonna have massive bias. To make something up as an example, if Atheism.com has an article talking about how this study proves god doesn't exist... maybe you can see why I think they probably have their finger on the scale a bit and it's not really worth my time reading either the article or the study)

(Bonus summary of thoughts in the tags, realized why this most bothers me is it kinda stops being able to have an earnest conversation about important topics cause... yeah; this stuff is worth discussing but we can't when you're presenting evidence that's from one of the most biased sources on the subject you could possible have managed)

#like I just saw an article linked on here that immediately I could sniff out massive bias in #and despite how they were 'just asking questions' I already knew what they were going to say #and it's like... I'm not even gonna bother fucking engaging with some 27 note post with some smart people treating it like it's interesting #I'm not changing their mind; this isn't about rational ideas; it's about them believing something and wanting to back it up #and like... I get it; I probably do it even if I don't want to and then tell myself I'm being rational and it all lines up #so I'm not gonna talk about it #but the bias in just the article title alone became obvious #the site looks like a insular circlejerk that has the answer for everything already laid out and is gonna work backwards #it's just a bit ass; you know?#and like sorry mate; you can't present this as evidence #if I let you do this then I'll have to let the tankies come in with an article about how imperialism needs boats #and it'll just open up the floodgates of stupid opinions #but most of all... I ain't reading all that when someone's so obviously wrong #oh and I really wish I could tell you what this was about but... you know me... I don't like arguing #just kinda fucking stupid #and mhh... just goes back to people thinking that there's one correct way to do things #man that's stupid; everyone requires their own path through life #and I may not think that much of it is a wise idea; like crypto; if you're investing stop it; get some help #but I'm not just magically gonna change anyone's mind saying that #...we gotta work with the world as it is #not... mhh... ok; we're deep enough in the tags and the person who posted it is busy enough I don't think they'll read this #so I'll just come out and say that it was saying no fault divorce is bad for kids #As much as our society with its affinity for sentimentality and utilitarianism may try to deny it #a loveless marriage causes less damage to a child than does divorce #those last two tags are a word for word quote only missing the commas cause tumblr tags #and I don't really care what 'study' you cite... you're fucking stupid #as a kid where my parents divorced when I was like 4; you're fucking stupid #I promise the shit that's fucked up about me has more to do with the parents than the divorce #and basically you can just blow your stupid trad bullshit out your ass #oh; the trad christian website just happens to find evidence that divorce shouldn't be allowed; well good thing there's no bias here
