People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains... this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. (Kruger and Dunning 2009.)

Well worth a read, ideally before you go around describing people with whom you disagree (and don't know) as being as thick as pigshit.

You might also bear in mind that social media amplifies this phenomenon.

edit: media amplifies

BTW it was not I that reported the deleted post. I was posted that screenshot to allow us all to speculate (!) on what was inappropriate about the post.

(That said, when I report a post, I never performatively inform the thread I've done it.)

My baffled but carry on

Someone is rattled x

We could talk about the poor dog woho had to be rescued from Ben Nevis after eating cannabis

Well worth a read, ideally before you go around describing people with whom you disagree (and don't know) as being as thick as pigshit.

Just to be clear, I have no problem with anyone who disagrees with me on a rational reasoned basis. They may even change my mind.

However if you disagree with me because you found a meme from 1974, then my determination of your faculties is likely to be negatively impacted.

I concur. I couldn't really see much about what you posted to be deletion worthy.

I mean it wasn't great. But if MN went around deleting all the unhelpful posts they wouldn't have a site anymore. And reddit would probably explode.

I didn't see it, but I think we're all used and immune to @derxa's habit of finger wagging and telling off. Water off a duck's back and all that, not worthy of deletion.

Didn't report you, honestly, despite my reply. Tend towards letting people know if I'm going to report, but only on threads I've started or goady threads that really shouldn't be started.

I didn't see the post but have you also been on to the main threads about AW to chastise them @derxa, or is it just us you're having a go at? Again.

It's evidently squirrel time this afternoon.

Just seen one too. Horrid grey squirrels the import from overseas.

Another reason never to decriminalise it. New York apparently reeks of the smell as well.

I can confirm that this is true. But so does my garden on occasion! ( disclaimer : it isn't emanating from my garden!) Liverpool does too.

Doubly high? Poor thing.

Oh. Where did you pop up from?

Well, if that isn’t just the creepiest thing!

Whatever it is, it's todays world.

wait till you start asking it to "write a post in the style of ....".

Knowing a bit about steganography helps 😎

WTAF!

Hands up who just looked up themselves. 😀🙋‍♀️

@SerendipityJane 🤣

Me

Although 'looking up yourself' does sound a bit vulgar 😆

No, thanks. It'll probably say I mostly post on threads about tacky TV with the occasional foray into political threads ...
