It's only if you can't prove the null hypothesis that confidence in your original hypothesis is then strengthened.No serious epistemologist has thought that falsificationism is what uniquely defines science for about a century EDIT: And furthermore, falsification of the null hypothesis has very little to do with rejecting accepted thought --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent |

Even if they had actually did some "scientific testing" to prove that yes, pregnant mothers actually crave those cigarettes, the scientific data would only be about craving, not whether it's a good idea. Any credible research on whether cigarettes had a positive long term impact on mothers or children would obviously have said no, that impact is negative. If that research existed (and I assume it did), they obviously wouldn't have picked that for their advertising, rather focusing on the craving.The thing with tobacco (and oil, and sugar, and a lot of other things) is that corporations did their own research and were always very aware of the detrimental health effects. But since they owned the research they were able to cover it up for a very long time, all while funding denial efforts and bad research --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent |

Although I know a lot of Democrats don't want to be associated with JK and she isn't from this country, her politics still are overall very left leaning.Given how much Rowling shit on and actively cancelled Labourites and Corbyn supporters, I wouldn't say she's any flavor of left, not does she consider herself so.

And his worry isn't actually free direct, it's that he personally is afraid of getting cancelled.

| Topic | lindsay ellis getting canceled because she said raya the dragon is like avatar |
| scar the 1 03/27/21 10:56:41 AM #156 | The thing about cancel culture is that generally, people who complain about it tend to complain about when their opinions get criticized, rather than about cancel culture in general. An illustrative example of this is that Also Dershowitz writing a whole book about how bad cancel culture is without acknowledging that he literally got Norman Finkelstein cancelled for criticizing Israel.

The house debacle seems to be really hurting KD, and I hope it sticks. They also quite recently had some controversy where their spokesperson for women's issues turned out to be an anti-abortionist in secret.

Hell, it doesn't even have to be a preferance, only a coincidence. I'd dare say that most people don't stick to only the exact same age as them, especially not when it comes to legal adults.I don't care if you call it a preference.

I get the impression that the younger they are, the more picky they are and after a certain age they're happy that someone actually wants them instead of someone younger.

| scar the 1 03/25/21 1:03:10 PM #16 | Obviously YMMV but my experience is that the biggest threshold a degree will help you over is getting into the industry. Of course it's a bit more complicated than that because yeah, larger companies with tons of applicants can afford to cull away applicants more harshly. And then there's consulting companies who essentially sell your work to clients, of course they'll like it if you have a degree, do they can charge the client more. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent |

Sometimes you'll be looked over in favour of some people with degrees if you go the community college routeThis is only a potential issue if you're new in the industry and don't have a portfolio.
