      This is good bait but I almost totally believe it, the kind of person who spends a decade being told they’re a very smart math boy at a top university is extremely susceptible to believing every whim of theirs is genuinely brilliant

        More engineers buy into cults, per capita, than the general population. Being told they are the smartest boy all day makes them unable to consider if they’ve been duped.

        I don’t think it’s impossible for that climate denialist chud to have some sciencey degree (though absolutely no evidence has been presented so far), but even if one was present, that doesn’t actually mean anything when it comes to horrible takes and general edgelord nonsense.

      Today is your lucky day. Since I’m in a good mood, let’s see if you’ll put your money where your mouth is.

      I will reveal my real name, my PhD thesis, with a link to the university linking to my thesis. Here’s the bet: if I can prove it (that I have a PhD in particle physics from a prestigious university of top 10), you pay me one whole fucking bitcoin. If not, I’ll pay you one bitcoin.

      We’ll find a betting platform (of your choice if you wish) where we deposit these bitcoins into a multisig address with a referee. One of us wins based on the bet.

      Are you gonna put your money where your mouth is? Or a dick where you learn not to open your mouth next time?

      What do you say?

          See? The moment you’re required to be responsible for a word you said, you ran away… hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha.

          Talk is easy. This is why climate change is mainstream, because dumb people with big mouths make their dumb opinions sound real with fake confidence. Now you know what your confidence is worth. Class dismissed.

                being dumb is exactly how you got where you are.

                having a PhD doesn’t mean you think critically or can evaluate literature anymore. and it definitely does not give you license to kick out of your coverage, like you’re trying desperately to do here…

                having your little credential just means your committee wanted you gone after 5 years of being an asshole and didn’t want to fuck the stats of whatever shit tier program’s orifice you oozed out of.

        Not sure if this is a bit or if you’re a world-class example of people so specialized that they have deluded themselves into believing they are experts in everything because of how special their specialization made them feel in college.

        I have a PhD in particle physics

        What does that have to do with your claim to be an authority on the reality of climate change?

          At least I’m a freaking physicist. I understand statistics and math. You believe freaking ecologists for crying our loud! Anyone who talks for climate change is believed, and anyone who is against it is questioned. Wtf does Bill Nye or Tyson have to do with climate change? Yet somehow no one tells them “stfu, this isn’t your field”. They’re just “TV”. No one even comes close to researching this matter before spitting out a dumb opinion to avoid peer pressure.

          But suddenly when someone disagrees, now they lose all their credentials and it isn’t their specialty.

          This game is being played on a global scale. So don’t play the game “specialty and field”, because a monkey agreeing with you can become an authoritative source from what I saw. All you have to do is silence everyone who disagrees with you. I’m not silenced yet, and I have an opinion, and no one has to give a shit for all I care.

              Just a note, there’s a bug that causes some of hexbear’s emotes to be extremely large for users of other instances. The cryptocurrency emote is one of them. Other hexbear users have taken to hiding those behind spoilers to avoid annoying users from other instances.

              Well, I don’t need to beg. I have enough money for decades to come, unlike most people here who defend agendas made to make them poor forever. People who believe anything said on TV, and have big mouths with big confidence with zero responsibility. Exactly the kind of people who transmit bullshit to make themselves feel better and feel relevant in a world that discarded them like the pieces of nothing they deserve to be.

              Enjoy being poor while defending every reason that made you poor. No sympathy from me.

                  It really is a great example of an expert not knowing how dumb they are in other topics.

                  Ok, maybe we give him the benefit of the doubt and he knows something about particle physics.

                  Good thing he immediately showed he’s a huge fucking dumbass in anything not related to that by being a crypto bro.

                  Given that you believe in climate change and TV rhetoric, I get your lack of understanding of the difference of bet and beg. You see, people who produce value and their words mean something do the former. Unlike when you do the latter and beg your parents for change to go to the movies. 😄

                  No worries. I got you, buddy.

        I hereby volunteer to be the betting platform and referee of Sator_is_Tense’s choosing. 2 of 3 of us will agree on the winner based on:

        • Appointee4912 has PhD in particle physics,

        • university is prestigious, and

        • university is in top 10 of something

        all being true. If you refuse these terms, it’s because you’re running away the moment you are required to be responsible for a word you say.
