Awww someone is hurt by the fact someone uses evidence to argue their points instead of making stuff up. How cute

@Nike

Me: its better to argue using evidence than internet memes

You: Im offended!

@Nike
Cool story bro

@realcaseyrollins

Totally agree there and say it all the time as you know. And libtard could also be exchanged for alt-right

@Zettour
Imagine thinking a propaganda meme is stronger evidence than a body of collected, replicated, peer reviewed data

@freemo @Zettour Is there some particular controversial study that was brought to mind when you posted that?

@MyriadTribulations

Nope, its happened hundreds of times on the fedi and most of the time for studies that arent particularly controversial.

@Zettour

@freemo @Zettour Ok, then that's harder for me to argue against. I've known instances where headline says X, but if you actually read the study you find less definite language and a small sample size. Furthermore, even then, that study would count as one sample. Only when someone else reproduces it would it become two, and so forth.

@MyriadTribulations

Yes mainstream mesia on both sides distort facts and misrepresent studies constantly. This meme touches on that at the end.
@Zettour

@ArmyVeteranAJ Yup this is certainly valid for both sides.
