Something similar: knew a girl that was wrote her bio master and she was like "you're all below me", one day she asked me to read her work for spelling mistakes, took a week intensively researching the topic and made several remarks on wrong sources/ better sources, found data assignment mistakes and content errors and wrote a comprehensive critic to the work. I'm feeling kinda sorry for what I did, she never handed the work in & is now a single mom. I'm far from the only reason for it, but I think that it pushed her over the edge with the decision to give up her academic career for good. Ooopsie.
Considering that is sounds like she was a pretty unlikable person so I'm surprised she got enough into a relationship to have a kid
Or this never happened.
That's my take this story sounds fake af
I really don't understand what drives people to make these type of comments.
Bro whether it happened or not doesn't really matter. They're not trying to sell you a scientific study. It's an anecdote. Even if it is fake it's not going to destroy your life or financially bankrupt someone. Do you yell at Comedians saying that they're lying about a funny story? Do you question everyone in your life and call them all out too if you don't believe them?
The absolute worst that could come from lying about a random funny story is causing someone to let out a disappointed sigh if they find out it is fake. Compare that to the disruption of someone always showing up and saying "It didn't happen." I know which I prefer...
seeing as you’ve climbed all that way to die on a hill defending a shitty story about ruining someone’s life as being ‘funny’, you deserve the added salt of pearl-clutching disapproval that someone didn’t laugh about it.
Oh cause it sounds, and and almost gaurenteed, to be bullshit. I dont understand why you have such a problem with someone calling out someone else's bullshit, but thats your right.
No, it sounds bullshit to you. You have no guarantee that this is bullshit. You have nothing to fall back on. You were not there. Moreover, weirder things continue to happen every single day in reality. I have an issue with someone who has no connection to the story just dismissing it outright and acting like everyone should believe them and their opinion despite it having zero supporting evidence. Not to mention you're doing it in the funny community. Funny does not require truth, as mentioned above. So like I said, unless you're actively calling comedians a liar then your own point doesn't stand up to this. Comedians routinely tell bullshit and it's a social contract to not interrupt and not crash it. Same contract applies to funny anecdotes in a comedy community.
You're not calling out bullshit. You're crashing a party.
Nor do You have any facts that what they said that made the story was believable. A complete internet stranger posts “She was like”.. it already smells like bullshit to anyone with half a brain. Yet That’s all it took for you to take a deep dive on a story vilifying a complete stranger and defending it as ‘funny’. This says more about you adopting a shit personality than any story let alone humour in general.
Also what fuckin party are you talking about? You think this is a party? Get outside and touch grass.
What a party 🙄
