    I wasn’t trying to be smug. I sincerely wanted evidence. I was dubious, so I wanted a study. I said so. I got a shit ton of people who didn’t like it before my edit. I’m not sure how my request was smug.

    Also, admitting I was wrong and thanking the person for showing me I was wrong afterward also got pushback, so…

      When you come in doubtful and put zero effort into a basic search of something and request someone else does the work for you it comes across that way. The edits make it look worse by complaining that people didn’t like your dismissive and smug request for someone to do a basic search.

      Admitting you were wrong wasn’t what got pushback.

        This is what I said:

        I’d like to see a study that actually shows it matters if someone has one, because I’m dubious.

        I really don’t see how that is smug. Maybe you consider that lazy, but how is it smug? Smug means “having or showing an excessive pride in oneself or one’s achievements.” How am I doing that? I really don’t understand what you’re saying here.

        For the record: I have no pride in myself whatsoever and I think anything I’ve ever achieved has been worthless shit.

        Admitting you were wrong wasn’t what got pushback.

        It also got pushback. It just did. Look at the comment.

            Most people hate me anyway. I’m sure this won’t make much of a difference.

            But I would honestly like you to please explain to me what achievement I take excessive pride in. I really do what to know because I can’t think of a single thing I’ve achieved other than contributing half of my genetics to a wonderful child who I’m a bad parent to that’s worth taking pride in, let alone excessive pride.

            Again, I honestly want to know what I should be proud of in my life. I cannot think of a single thing.

              Imagine someone writing that as a response to being told that vaccines work, then gets defensive about it when they are downvoted. Then they argue about the exact definitions of the words you used to try and help them understand why they are getting pushback.

                Okay, well, again, I meant it genuinely and, again, my life is 100% worthless and there is nothing for me to take pride in whatsoever, and, again, most people hate me anyway.

                So I’m not sure what exactly you want me to do here. If you suggest killing myself, I’m also a coward.

                  I just want you to be a little more self aware and fun to interact with again like you used to be.

                    I think I just showed you how self-aware I am. So, again, I’m not sure what you want me to say here.

                    And if you ever thought I was fun to interact with and looked back on it now, you’d see that it really was only you and not me at all.

                    Just let me know what you want me to say and I’ll say it and we can move on.

      Yeah, I recognize you when we were talking about THC. I don’t think you’re wrong in this case? You just asked to see if changing order per ballot really does make a difference in voting stats. In any case dry herb vapes are the best, vaporizes flower’s thc without burning, so it’s probably a bit healthier.

        Yep, that’s all I asked. For some reason, my not knowing that was a cardinal sin because it’s common knowledge.

        But whatever, I’m used to most people hating me because I’m stupid.
