I have the same theory. Anytime I see someone having a phone call on speakerphone it's almost 100% because their screen is shattered and they just walk around screaming into their phone.
Makes sense that these are also the type of people walking around just raw dogging life with out a cell phone case.
Being all like "I fucking love science" whilst perpetuating ignorance of what science actually is like
Elaborate with example pls
Anyone calling themselves a "scientist"
Biologist, astronomer, mathematicians, these are all valid professions.
Scientist is not a profession.
I'll keep an eye out for one, but in the meantime, I'll be more specific about what I mean about ignoring how science actually is.
One of the things I find most beautiful about science is how it thrives in uncertainty — great science is more likely to arise from a "huh, that's strange..." than a big "Eureka" moment, not least of all because most breakthroughs involve large collaborations of researchers.
"Scientism" is the term usually used for the kind of thing that irks me. I'm realising now that I feel unequipped to properly explain that, so I'm going to point to a video I like on this matter by a cardiologist and science communicator I like: https://youtu.be/CVPy25wQ07k
I’ve got a great example. My wife and I argue about directions all the time. I usually think Google and Apple maps are going to give me the quickest route because it’s an algorithm based on more data than I currently have like traffic and current road conditions. She’s usually all about her “gut” feeling and it involves these very convoluted paths that involve way too many extra intersections and very unknown conditions like others thinking the exact same thing and making it way more congested. I wasn’t even going to get into things like game theory since that would be way over her head. She very smart just not about nerdy things like that. Anyway I was like fine, ok let’s test it. Let’s see which way is quicker. Of course no two situations are going to be exact given changing variables like traffic patterns, times of day, construction, etc. but given enough data we could definitely prove which way is better: her gut feeling or taking the suggested route from the appropriate app. That’s science. Come up with a hypothesis, then a method to test the hypothesis, and then do the test. In this case it’s pretty simple to figure out if it works. You’re just comparing times. But nope, doesn’t wanna do it. And she’s all about the science. During COVID she even said we should be doing what the epidemiologists and doctors suggest since they “have done the science”. Here’s a chance for use to do a very simple version of that same thing.
being judgey assholes
Disheveled hair. If you have long(ish) hair and you're going out in public, at least drag a comb through it so you don't look like a bed-head.
- People who take phone calls with it on speaker
- People that have anything on speaker while in a public place
- Wearing "MAGA" clothing
- Having a cyber truck
- Leaving large gaps in the drive thru queue
- People with young children that they dress up like little adults.
- People who refuse to learn basic tech (email, texting, etc.)
- Edit: People that don't like animals, or they dislike just cats. I feel like people who don't vibe with animals in some way are... Off.
~~damn, I'm a judgy bitch~~
These are all reasonable. Add people that let others in, in potentially dangerous situations.
Eating meat although they're fully aware, that we have to shift completely away of that (GHG emissions, land-use), and then blame the government that they need to regulate this more.
Yes more government regulations would be great, but it's one of the few individual things that have effect, if everyone would think similar. And a vegan or mostly vegan diet is not really worse in taste and likely more healthy as well... Eating meat is not sustainable (nor morally justifieable), it should be a thing of the past...
And from the downvotes I conclude that this will remain a mostly secret judge. It's sad, that you don't see it yet, this will very likely be the future whether you like it or not (when we don't fuck it up completely, but I'm somewhat hopeful).
The argument that meat is cheaper is also not really true anymore. There's basically no reason to eat meat anymore. Matter of fact, I developed a distaste to meat when I mostly stopped with eating meat, after eating way too much before (tastes kind of rotten compared to plant-based), try it out, it's easier than you think, and gets easier over time.
Sorry about the downvotes
People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.
Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.
I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth...
'It has chemicals in it'
This use of 'chemicals' as something inherently bad just makes it sound like they're parroting some scaremongering tiktok.
