Translation: self-diagnosis by an amateur based on a hunch turns out to be wrong.
Reality: people similarly get cancer scares all the time. The fact that they don't have cancer does nothing to help the ones that actually do.
Lesson: don't self-diagnose. It's not a club, it's a disorder.
@davepl1968@SwipeWright Agreed. Equal means equal. Can’t expect to be treated with equality by behaving like you’re above the rest. Breaks logic imo
In the army we had a saying…. We’re all equally worthless.
WATCH: Illegal gun trafficking still a top issue despite the feds claim to have strengthened the 🇨🇦 border.
"Guns are coming over the border in high numbers."
"Among crime guns seized in 2025, then traced, 86% came [illegally] from the U.S."
CBC's @ThomasDaigle has the story.
Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and in response, a book titled “One Hundred Authors Against Einstein” was published.
His reply was sharp and elegant: “If I were wrong, one would have been enough—why one hundred?”
That’s the nature of facts. If something is truly false, it only takes a single valid counterexample to disprove it.
Facts are not decided by numbers or authority; they are tested, questioned, and open to verification.
They exist in the public domain, where anyone can examine and challenge them.
You don’t accept something as a fact simply because an authority claims it to be true. For example, saying “I believe the Earth is flat because my religious book says so” is not a scientific argument.
It’s a matter of belief, not evidence. While faith deserves respect, it is not the process by which facts are established.
Facts are earned through evidence, testing, and the ability to withstand doubt.
