Pseudoscience

Science was designed to be political. It wouldn't serve any purpose otherwise-just a useless tool for making insignificant discoveries. Of course, scientists don't actually care about finding out the truth; they write research papers to put the bread on the table. Science is meant to be manipulated and changed to support one party's viewpoints. Global warming? Well by my calculations, on January 2nd, 2017, the temperature in the North Pole was indeed colder than that of the scorching villages in Liberia in 2016. Therefore, because science is on my side, your argument is invalid and you are stupid stupid stupid. Science is meant to be the knife that cuts populations into two sides. And when science somehow disagrees with your viewpoints, it means the end of the world for the political platform you stand on, it means the end of the beliefs you believe in. You take it as a personal insult since obviously people only use science as a weapon to shoot you down. When you are a girl transitioning to sexually identify as an Attack Helicopter and I use the wrong pronoun for you, surely I should have known better than to attack you with a micro-aggression. Sorry, my bad. Your biology doesn't matter, only your feelings do. And so we have reached the crux of the societal standard.

In the words of Ben Shapiro, "facts don't care about your feelings", you are not the center of the universe. That was disproved by Galileo centuries ago when he shattered the geocentric model of the Earth, when when science was revolutionized to seek the truth, not satisfaction. Nowadays, no discoveries can straddle the fine line between political parties without falling.

    Wow Marvin! Although I don't completely agree with you, the way you describe your opinion is very detailed and logical. Your use of outside examples really add to your argument and help emphasize your point. The political cartoon you added is also very funny and refreshing!

    I enjoyed the sarcasm in your post very much (at least I hope it was sarcasm). It’s also very interesting to see you insert “political correctness” into your post. Your post also reminded me of the Sokal affair and his paper on “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity". (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair)

    I think that this video is pretty relevant to the point you’ve made Marvin!

Really Confident Girl

Image
The Fearless Girl is a powerful embodiment of the feminist movement. The young brave girl is a stark representation of the courage it takes to stand up for equal rights. However, the sole purpose of the girl was to serve as a counterpart to the Charging Bull, which is an "aggressive threat to women and girls - a symbol of patriarchal oppression”. If Di Modica really wanted to move his expensive masterpiece away from the attention-drawing girl, Fearless Girl would then become “really confident girl” as one author notices. But honestly, what’s wrong with that? Feminists have had to consistently prove themselves over and over throughout history. Wave after wave of feminists with slightly different agendas have had to take tiny yet monumental steps for women in order to be taken seriously. Now, in the 21st century, the role of feminism is already well established and very widespread. Feminists are making real change happen. So why do they feel the need to prove that they are bra

Bubbles!

Whenever you go to an ethnically foreign place, such as a restaurant or a market, you'll notice how the environment that surrounds you is contained within a very finite area - a bubble. The moment you walk in through a door, smells, sounds, sights, and all your senses are struck with the ruminated cultures of centuries of history, often from thousands of miles away. Specifically, the way people speak, the manner in which people address each other, the language that permeates the bubble, is subtly yet vastly different. What I mean is, unlike the very apparent "role playing, side-step, shilly-shally, and vagueness and innuendo" in the English language, my Chinese speaking family is one that does not partake in such mannerisms. English is  peculiar distinct distinctive idiosyncratic particular personal special specific  unique in that there are hundreds of substitutes or complimentary words that mean basically the same thing. Chinese, on the other hand is more direct, requir

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Call it what you want - totting, skipping, skip diving, skip salvage, curb shopping, trash picking or street scavenging - dumpster diving is just one of the names in that trash pile of labels. It’s not only a means of survival, but also a “way of life.” The show Extreme Cheapskates on TLC highlights some of the most frugal people in the world, who stop at nothing to save money. Sometimes these people aren’t even poor; they are just very tight penny-pinchers. Creating reusuable toilet paper, reusing dental floss, finding gifts in garbage cans, washing clothes while showering, flushing the toilet only once a week, making their own toothpaste, not spending money on telephones, television or new clothes for their kids is just some of the ludicrous extents people go to to conserve their bank accounts. So I ask you. At what point does extreme frugality become near-dumpster-diving conditions? Just because you don’t throw something away and reuse it, for example toilet paper, is it still consi
