Sorry to disappoint, I meant I learned the story behind the myth of vaccines causing autism. They seemed to be pretty good parents, before they moved away their kid was often outside on his bike.... He seemed happy and healthy to me.

We had a significant age gap so we never interacted, but he was on the sidewalk frequently and never in the street when I was driving... Take from that what you will

Oh, that would fit in my model perfectly. Because it's another world... Obviously. My model isn't disproven if I wake up in another world, my model is just physically removed from my new world. Universal things still apply until they don't, but there's no conflict

If global warming hits 2.5C then flips around to an ice age....I don't understand it, but it's happened. My old observations aren't disproven, new ones disprove the theories around them

Squaring that circle would take effort, but if it's true it's true, and truth sometimes takes time to understand

Hide your wife, hide your kids, and hide your husband too because they're raping everybody out there

Unironically, that should be cheating. Tests should measure your mastery over the subject of the class, passing the test shouldn't be the goal

It's societal collapse type shit

There's too many beans stories and search sucks these days... I just went on a tangent and read my daily limit of green texts

It is fun to know there's a story out there I've yet to come across though, I'm sure I'll stumble upon it someday

I mean, yeah, but you're not suspending your sense of disbelief enough

There's definitely people who literally have reached in, with their bare hands, and tried to pick up a casserole. There's even people who regularly give themselves severe burns because they just straight up forget things are hot

There's also people who don't know what oven mitts are, what they're for, or don't have them. They might use a dish towel or all sorts of other wacky work arounds. I mean, you can even get by fine without ever using an oven

There's a lot of humor to be had here if you're less rigid in your thinking. If you try to imagine how someone could fit that description, assuming that there's some degree of exaggeration for comedic effect

This isn't real, you're just baiting because it's lemmy... Right? ....Right?

I mean...I do sometimes. Usually pizzas or things on aluminum foil. I also used to pull out noodles from boiling water to test them while cooking

Obviously I'm not grabbing 350F glass or metal with my bare hands, but if you're very deliberate with your movements you'd be surprised what you can do without burning yourself

No, seriously

Which state is best?

That really depends on which benefits are most important to you. But, generally, the consensus among advisers and estate attorneys is that the trust laws of South Dakota and Nevada offer the best combination of tax benefits, asset protection, trust longevity and flexible decanting provisions.

Trusts are basically sovcit shit but real though

It's literally "you have to tell the government about your money so they can tax it, unless... you go to Nebraska, file some paperwork, declare yourself trust executor, and then you talk about your money like it's a person with free will that just so happens wants to pay your rent and buy you a jet ski. Then the government isn't allowed to ask about it, ever"

Sure. If it fills a gap in my model, I don't need any proof at all. Why would I? It just makes sense. Of course I'm going to tentatively fit it in

And if a study convincingly disproves it, I'll just as quickly discard the tentative idea. Why wouldn't I? It made sense, but it didn't math out.

But this is all in the context of my model. It's a big web of corroboration

You can't convince me global warming isn't happening, because I'm watching it in real time. No amount of studies are doing to do more than inform the facts of my lived experience... I'm the primary source, I was there

No? I don't care if the whole world is wrong, some evidence is strong enough to convince me forever, even if it's subjective

Quality is all that matters. One incontrovertible fact I can poke and prod myself means more than millions of subjective accounts. Or even all of science - I'll rearrange my entire model around a new fact if it's compelling enough
