"No, I was just checking to see if you are as sharp as you propose yourself to be."

To summarize "anyone who doesnt agree with me is an idiot".

Yea sorry not even reading past this line then.. I spent the last 2 years as a COVID0-19 research scientist. Always a hoot when i see an arrogant uneducated twat strutting around like this, you are the porblem.

@Jedigirl If you live in america and arent homeless you are literally the top 1%.

@davidfetter

I dont mind necceseraly putting up. But as long as I dont have to go into detail its on public record so shouldnt be a problem.

Two names that come to mind are Harel Hirshtik and Lew Bloch, both CEOs i've manage to get to hold accountable and fired them as well.

@davidfetter Dude I have 33K followers.. a LOT of posts slip by me or I forget. I apologize for not responding. I totally forgot about you asking.

I could legally mention their names, I'm just not sure if legally that would be troublesome. That said, you could easily find out by just looking at my website, see the companies I was a board member on and looking at their public data. Resolutions I've called ro firing CEO's or otherwise holding them accountable will not be hard to find attached to my record serving on public boards.

I can help point you to the relevant tools if you need help.

@nixCraft Thats not a job, thats a company asking you to be an investor.

Oh and by the way the "reverse appeal to authority" is called the Ad Hominem fallacy, in the general case. A more specific fallacy is called the Courtier's Reply Fallacy

I mean sure except I never said that. I never said if you were an expert or not, nor did I claim me being an expert makes you wrong. In fact quite the opposite, I pointed out you made a valid question that deserves an answer but I just dont have the energy to answer it for you/

I mean its a lot of effort your putting in to puts words in my mouth I never said. Which is just telling me not engaging you was probably the right move to be honest.

@luckytran

@nazokiyoubinbou

When did I use appeal to authority. I mentioned your question is valid but since my profession deals with educating the public daily I'm burnt out on the discussion. How did you twist that into an appeal to authority? Never asked you to just trust me

@luckytran

@nazokiyoubinbou

Because it's literally not a metric for infection severity. Your question is valid, but I'm just tired at this point explaining this stuff to non scientist just to have them argue from ignorance. Not saying your doing it per se. I just don't have the energy for this stuff.

@luckytran

@nazokiyoubinbou

> Obviously actually tracking infections is the only sensible way to track the progression of the pandemic.

You seemed to already have answered it.

@luckytran

@corvax

As long as your asking politely for people to take part you might get some positive response. Its only once you infringe on others bodily autonomy by **demanding** they do things to lessen your burden we have a problem.

You wear whatever level of protection you want, everyone else will do the same. Demand violation of bodily autonomy you are likely to get violent opposition. Ask nicely you might move things int he right direction.

@chris

As I said, you arent being an asshole. Despite disagreeing with the extreme to which you depicted it we are in agreement on the based point about the USA. No worries, we were good regardless.

But thank you for letting me know about your appreciation it means a lot.

@garyackerman All animals create data, some even manage their data, in some cases they even use it for their work. :) Bees for example collect, manage, share and disseminate data for work purposes (gathering of food for the colony).

@luckytran Viron particle count seems like a horribly misleading way to measure the severity of the pandemic.

Here's a rookie mistake I made with my dog after not having one for over 20 years:

When I was first training Miles, I made my voices different for correction and praise. My correction voice is close to my normal voice, but sterner. My praise voice is a ridiculous baby voice with lots of lilting and happy sounds -- which is fake and exhausting.

I figured that by age 2 I would be able to forgo the baby voice.

I COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG. I'm stuck with the baby voice now. 🤦🏽

@chris

You are not the asshole. But you are wrong both in terms of false equivelance as well as ad reductio absurdum. You were not an asshole, but you were wrong.

Now that isnt to say that the USA is right. No we are very much guilty of creating more suffering. But to imply it is remotely comparable to Hitler is just not a fair comparison.
