  • It’s not a failure in the usual sense we think about it, no. You were still “technically wrong” in whatever hypothesis you had that was disproven. But the end result is different because theoretically everyone involved cares more about the answer being found, not necessarily that they are the one to do it.

    Hell, in cases where whatever you did was later proven incorrect it’s usually that whatever you did was the most correct answer for the information we had at the time. Then new information is discovered and often someone else builds off what you did to get this new answer.



  • That’s always been my view on these subjects as a parent. Especially considering all 3 of my kids have autism and have a tendency to not follow rules at all if the rule doesn’t make sense to them.

    Like seriously my father was the perfect example of this shit. The amount of times he’d bully me about not trying to have sex with any of my female friends while simultaneously saying “not in my house you won’t” is crazy.





  • My wife had to explain to me that a girl I went to college with was into me years after the fact. She stumbled across some pictures I had on Facebook that this girl had liked and commented on and asked me about her. At the time I didn’t think anything of it but she was interacting with old posts from long before we’d even met at school.

    My wife actually facepalmed when I told her this one story in particular. I was in the Commons on campus suffering from a pretty bad migraine. I’d been there for like an hour when she came in and sat next to me and asked me what was wrong. I told her and she sat next to me petting my head until she had to leave to go to her next class.
