The question is, how to persuade then? If facts and data (no matter how they're presented) just make people dig in further, what's the alternative? Maybe a bit of social push back and isolation will help people recognize the echo chamber they're in and that most people are deeply critical and angry about what they're…

It turns out that there's no way to change minds on this one - see study published last December trying all sorts of approaches - but it sounds here like (a) the person was perfectly polite, if firm, and (b) it's better to get the info out there than to let this kind of crap spread.
People like that aren't going to change their minds with argument. They've already willfully rejected both science and public health concerns. No matter how gently you hold their hands and talk through their wittle fee-fees, they're just going to keep babbling the same thing.
im so upset right now
As a non-American I don't fully understand the point of the statute of limitations. It seems to be because the justice system wants to be able to forget about crimes and not have to do as much work. The UK has just seen a raft of high profile cases of famous men being charged with historical sex crimes dating back to…
I have to admit, I've never really understood "straight edge" as an identity. Kinda seems similar to people who make a huge deal out of their own virginity.
I kind of want to do this. I've given hundreds of wedding gifts, baby gifts, etc over the years. I've attended more than my fair share of bachelorette parties and lingerie showers. I'm single. I like being single. I don't have kids. I like not having kids. I've celebrated the awesomeness of my friends and…
There is a level of self-involvement here that I just cannot abide. I'm 30 and single and not really looking for a partner, but not exactly turning down dates, either. I am medium happy with myself and my life. I would be embarrassed to "self marry" and all of my friends would rightly make fun of me and call me dumb,…
Does it say "Only the birthday girl got lap dances" or "The birthday girl herself got at least 8 lap dances over the course of the 2-3 hours we were there, all purchased for her by the party"? Other people got lap dances, too. I bought a massage (same price.) That comment makes you sound INSANELY dense. ;)
I'm with you. I know it will get me banned from the cool kids camp, but I don't see porn as either sex-positive or feminist. It just seems depressing.
I get that the whole point of this series to be like *cheerleader ready ok clap* porn is so great and feminist you guys. But with each one of these I'm just like...sure. hmmm. maybe. i don't know. i don't think so. nope. NO. OH HELL NO.
Eh, you just laugh at them. I find a good laugh in the face really gets under these types' skin in the best way.
Anna looks like a character in a Tim Burton film!
LOL yes true true.......... if only...... there was some way..... for people.... to see.... that this was all a joke..................
WHY DO YOU HATE THE MAGICAL DELIGHT THAT IS PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA?!?! Do you hate yourself?!
Am I the only one who feels absolutely no urge to be naked just because I'm alone? It's not that I'm uncomfortable with nudity, it's just that I'm also perfectly comfortable in clothes.
How could you not include this part?
And is this actually a Madame Tussaud's exhibit created from her look at that time? Or did somebody just go absolutely BATSHIT with the blur tool in Photoshop?
