Pi, are you telling me that birthday parties do NOT fall under the FB definition as "events that ignore social distancing guidelines are considered harmful misinformation and will be taken down."

There is no easier way for FB to "take down" a birthday party than to deny sending the invite, composed on FB, to the intended FB members!

In fact, there is nothing else they could have done, otherwise, to take it down.

Apparently lived experiences don't matter and are unimportant... or at least when the word of the day is Bias.

They don't matter in any kind of broader sense. If you think that is some kind of gotcha, then I think you had a very poor scientific/mathematic education; because this is basic stuff.

There's a reason why studies get repeated. There's a reason why studies require large sample sizes. There's a reason why people often do double blind studies. There's a reason why randomness is important for polling. There's a million different things that get done to remove errors and different biases. 

Random one-off incidents that have 100 different possible causes, are not even worth talking about without more information. 

It's legitimately terrifying to me that neither of you two seem to understand how difficult it is to get to the truth of different matters.

Locked: Attempted assassination on Trump

pg4 (10 per) is a doozy. More than a few gems in that thread.

Terrifying

This. x1000! 

I find it interesting I couldn't post in this thread without being dogpiled by a dozen people ensuring me I don't know what I'm talking.  They sure are quiet this morning and I hear nothing but crickets.

I immediately thought of this recent video after reading your posts. What can happen when politics and intelligence/education/IQ collide?

Oh ok, you did find something worse than everything put forth so far. On the rankings of arguments we have:

1. Studies and stats

2. Anecdotal evidence

3. Vaguely gesturing at something and then a meme.
