My fiance is part of the Chinese diaspora so just one example but almost every one of her friends are the same mix of weird contradictions:
- support CCP
- read Epoch Times and share it and similar stuff on WeChat all the time
- liked Trump alright until he bungled COVID
- also think COVID was a US bioweapon meant to damage PRC’s reputation
- 100% unquestioning support for Russian invasion of Ukraine
- do not care at all that Ukraine has a Nazi problem though, just in favour of war
- Buddhists, every single one of them…
Though my anecdotes probably mean nothing and I am doing a, uh, my username… Since all anyone running this site can do is go “the science” despite the gray areas of “the science” being clear as day. For some reason that’s worthy of, you know.
Maybe you should actually read the science on that gray area so you’ll stop saying stupid shit
Trans Women shouldn’t be allowed to compete with cis women for a bunch of transphobic reasons
Oh, I have. Unfortunately I’m very familiar with it since my background is data science for clinical trials and I currently cut the monthly cheque for like 200.000,USD worth of servers and IP address space on cloud and bare metal providers all over the world so I’m a little confused why they bother banning me. I don’t even do captchas, I farm that out to Anti-Captcha.com
Anyway, it’s hard to get so good at science so I don’t get mad at people for being bad at it. I had to sell my soul to the gods of profit on behalf of every CRO and sponsor I work with to get this good at it. Utter demons like Regeneron, Pfizer, BMS, Roche, Janssen, Genentech, Allergan, AstraZeneca, Novartis… But you’ll get really good at science. To the point you understand things you never wanted to, like how virtually every hormone in the human body works and how its receptors can be inhibited or modulated.
But yeah, I’ll trust some forum commentators who’ve probably read an abstract and watched a couple YouTube vids on the subject.
Dudes will spend hours of their day crying about being banned for transphobia instead of moving on with their lives
