Wouldn't surprise me. If you're not into ragebait, tankieism, linux smugness, the painful minutiae of corporations fucking everyone, US bullshit, or all of the above... this place is really pretty slow.
I only really browse "all" on this site and it does seem like fresh content trickles in at a fairly slow rate. At least part of that is that it needs to squeeze by what is now pages and pages of blocked communities just trying to avoid the doomposting.
Yeah, bad faith participation is awesome if you have an excuse.
I was just expressing surprise at exactly how shit this health-related, science-related advice was, and consequently what a bad idea listening to it would be. It is not my field, as stated. Do I need to post a treatise to be able to say "whoa, that's not how good advice looks"?
Sorry you didn't find it constructive, I don't find this productive or constructive or any other metaphor either. Guess you can't please everyone.
Have you considered maybe your "participation" is just insufferable even if it weren't blatantly bad faith?
I say! Someone managed to outcringe fedoras! Jolly well done, that chap.
The advice is wank, from people who don't know jack about this. And yes, I know - I don't, either. That is why I don't try to answer questions on hugely complicated fields I don't know. Almost nobody even considered posting a source for anything and that is a huge red flag in a question that is basically about science.
Given that the advice is off-topic, wrong, potentially risky or some combination, I am not wrong about the general sentiment. If you wanted me to phrase it some other way, maybe you could've been more, uh, constructive.
After all, commenting “this is the pure dietary sugar of discussions” and then walking away is the pure dietary sugar of discussions.
Holy crap, don't get your dietary advice from this place apparently.
Bottom? This is par for the course.
Depending on what you mean by respect and opinion, yes. If you're discussing an opinion then someone is probably going to expect you to explain why, that's a logical point to cover in any such discussion. Even if it's subjective. If it's an opinion on something objective, then there's an actual burden of "proof" and possible consequences, and the stakes rise accordingly.
There aren't many reasons to "properly" respect an opinion that is irrational (not just subjective), factually wrong ("interpretation" only goes so far), dishonest, or anything like that. I'm skeptical of endorsing any opinion until I know why it is what it is.
I was not a huge fan of walking up several stories for everything, no.
Normally it's just more inconvenient to do anything, like getting mail or groceries - slightly, but it does add up. When moving in or out or replacing furniture, anything like that, it's suddenly very inconvenient.
On the bright side, I guess the extra exercise probably doesn't hurt.
Ha! Get rekt, Meta.
Ooooh! No, my bad, I'll have that fixed in a jiff now that you've pointed it out. Thanks!
