  • Psychology

    Jump

  • That wouldn't be a problem at all if we had better science journalism. Every psychologist knows that "a study showed" means nothing. Consensus over several repeated studies is how we approximate the truth.

    The psychological methodology is absolutely fine as long as you know it's limitations and how to correctly apply it. In my experience that's not a problem within the field, but since a lot of people think psychology = common sense, and most people think they excel at that, a lot of laypeople overconfidently interpret scientific resultst which leads a ton of errors.

    The replication crisis is mainly a problem of our publications (the journals, how impact factors are calculated, how peer review is done) and the economic reality of academia (namely how your livelihood depends on the publications!), not the methodology. The methods would be perfectly usable for valid replication studies - including falsification of bs results that are currently published en masse in pop science magazines.

  • Feminists

    Jump

  • HawlSera is generalising feminists, while at the same time critizising them for generalising.

    Sorry, thats just not a perspective that deserves to be respected. It deserves to be corrected and criticized.

    You seem to have left the conversation about the topic at hand altogether if the only thing you're willing to talk about is her background.

  • Feminists

    Jump

  • Now you've lost me - should we all be held to the same standard or should OP be exempt from the general rules of decency because of their background?

    Because if we're talking about the standard of "unfair generalisations are unfair, don't do it" (which is what I've been talking about, don't know about you) then Queen HawlSera clearly failed to meet it.

  • The alternative is not what youre thinking likely. The alternative is something more nuanced than this-or-that thinking. Something where everyone that’s not bigoted is recognized and considered. Not just a single group.

    But working against feminism is bigoted. I feel sorry if someone acts destructively because they had a horrible childhood - nevertheless, acting destructively in itself shouldn't be tolerated.

    I mean who actually benefits from ruining the reputation of feminism? Probably the very people who hurt Queen HawlSera as a child. We're not doing kids like her any favors by allowing that.

  • Proof that if you don’t tow the party line, it doesn’t matter what your background is.

    Well, yeah? What's the alternative? "If we like your background it doesn't really matter what positions you hold - trans people should be allowed generalise a bit and trash feminism, as a treat"?!

    I'm queer myself. I will hold you responsible for your words, no matter your background. Especially when it comes to feminism. And that obviously includes women of all backgrounds. If anything I expect more solidarity from them, not less.

    Jump

  • All feminists?

    Because if we had a mandatory global meeting I sure as hell missed my invitation.

  • Feminists

    Jump

  • And what does that have to do with feminism?

    All this comic does is emphasise how stupid it would be to lump all feminists together. If you deny this you are doing exactly the same thing as those you're complaining about.

  • Feminists

    Jump

  • And now you blame feminists? It's kinda astounding that your life experiences haven't taught you what nonsense stereotypes and generalisations are.

    ...I guess it is kinda in theme with the comic though. Assuming that all trans people would get that would be just as generalising, and very apparently wrong.

  • Sport: weg vom Müssen, hin zum Wollen

    Jump

  • Genauso war es bei uns auch.

    Beim 3km Lauf bekamen wir die Tabelle 8 Wochen vor der Benotung, um trainieren zu können; ich stand rechnerisch ungefähr auf einer 9 oder 10. Deutlich zu schlecht für die 6. Ich hab meine Lehrerin gefragt, ob sie ernsthaft von mir erwartet, dass ich zwei Monate trainiere, nur um es möglicherweise auf eine 5 zu schaffen - und sie hat nur mit den Schultern gezuckt. Das Ergebnis: Ich hab mir eine 6 eintragen lassen und bin nicht mitgelaufen. Dafür hatte sie sogar Verständnis.

    Ich glaub die einzigen Menschen, die Sportnoten fair oder sinnvoll finden, sind die, die schon als Kinder gut darin waren. Klar hatten die Spaß am Sportunterricht, wenn dort honoriert wurde, was sie eh schon zum Spaß gemacht haben - ich hätte mich auch gefreut, wenn ich fürs übermäßige Bücherlesen einfach eine 1 oder 2 ins Zeugnis bekommen hätte.

  • Sport: weg vom Müssen, hin zum Wollen

    Jump

  • und dabei nicht nur die Erfolge bewertet, sondern hauptsächlich wie viel Einsatz die Person gebracht hat

    In was für einer Schule wird das denn gemacht? Bei uns ging es rein um die Erfolge, in Zahlen, mit Leistungstabellen die für alle Schüler:innen gleich waren. Ich war nie in Reichweite einer akzeptablen Note, geschweige denn jemals an die Benotungen der Kinder heranzureichen, die von vorneherein Spaß am Sport hatten, egal wie viel Einsatz ich gezeigt hätte - also hab ichs gelassen.

    Ich kann mit Sicherheit sagen, dass manche Kinder durch den Sportunterricht langfristig vom Sport (bzw. dem Spaß daran) abgehalten werden. Bei mir war das nämlich eindeutig so.

  • "Pille danach" wird nach sexuellen Übergriffen von Kassen übernommen

  • Sollten. Ist jetzt abgeschafft.

  • Germany Conservatives worked together with facsits

    Jump

  • you will need it eventually for its actual meaning.

    Yeah, that time is now and this is what we need it for.

    The next time to use it would be retrospectively, when historians try to explain how democracy died in Germany again.

  • So krass werden wir (jetzt schon) mit KI belogen

    Jump

  • Leider gibt es KI-Müll längst auch schon gedruckt und vermeintlich """professionell recherchiert""". Atomic Shrimp hat vor ner Weile mal ein Video gemacht über solche Scams in Bereich von Büchern zum Sammeln und Bestimmen von Pilzen. Also content, der potenziell tödlich sein kann, wenn die Infos nicht verlässlich sind. Wird trotzdem quasi null reguliert.

    Ich fürchte, das post-faktische wird sich nicht auf das Internet begrenzen lassen.

  • Moe's Finale (Created by KiddieJay) (Warning: Covers Depression and mental health topics)

    Jump

  • It reinforces the idea for men not to bother getting help in the first place - you're a man, they won't take you seriously anyway, they will call you weak, don't ask for help, just give up. That's the inner logic of clinical depression and the comic supports it.

    And it's a really dangerous thing to imply because it could keep men further from the available support systems. It's discouraging. I'm not questioning weather those things could have been said by someone, but it kinda seems like the author took some horrible TERF talking points and went "I guess it will be the same in mental health".

  • Nuclear Power Was Once Shunned at Climate Talks. Now, It’s a Rising Star.

    Jump

  • The mindset of “it’s gotta be one or the other” is a false choice presented by the fossil fuel industry and conservative politicians.

    What fossil lobby or conservative politician is currently saying "okay guys you can have renewables, but then we will have to cut back on nuclear"? That's the opposite of what conservatives are saying.

    You are repeating a talking point that's being spread around to distract from the fact that it is financially rewarding for the fossil lobby to postpone the transition away from them to sustainable energy sources as far as possible, which is exactly what will happen if we drain resources from renewables towards nuclear. And acting like our resources aren't in some way limited is nothing but wishful thinking.

    While you wait for the next nuclear power plant, the fossil fuel lobby is raking in record profits for decades to come.

    Invest the money into renewables instead. And every bit of money you think you can get from "just raising the taxes a little" or "printing it" - invest that too. Everything else is a waste of time and resources.

  • Nuclear Power Was Once Shunned at Climate Talks. Now, It’s a Rising Star.

    Jump

  • We can do both.

    If you have a set amount of money and resources to invest renewables are almost exclusively the better choice. Investing in nuclear instead means it will take even longer for us to wean off fossiles. That's why it's so useful for the oil lobby to support nuclear.

  • Aber das heißt ja nicht dass es das nicht gibt und dass Tiere kein gutes Leben haben können nur weil sie zur Fleischproduktion dienen.

    Sogar im utopischsten seltenen perfekten Fall eines tatsächlich artgerecht gehaltenen Tieres darf es nur ein kurzes Leben haben. An Altersschwäche sterbende Tiere isst man ja nicht.

    "Tierfreunde", die Tiere essen, lügen sich selbst was vor. Stell dir einfach mal vor jemand würde das mit seinem Hund machen - mit 1-2 Jahren, wenn er noch lecker ist, schlachten und essen. "Ich bin trotzdem ein Hundefreund, versprochen, denn vorher war ich sehr nett zu ihm!"

    Und nur weil du an die Lüge gewöhnt bist ("vom Land") heißt das nicht, dass sie außerhalb deiner Bubble nicht trotzdem offensichtlich falsch ist.

  • IAEA chief says German return to nuclear power is 'logical'

  • Germany wanted to replace nuclear with renewables. This "replace with coal" bs is straight up misinformation.

  • You know what sucks as well? Taking too many painkillers against headaches actually causes headaches. Horrible ones at that. Glad to read that you're feeling better, but that's a real trap many people out there are stuck in.
