I suppose you're haughty argumentative skills were expended when people were talking about undermining your husband's livelihood in the google glass thread. You were very vocal then.

I dislike intervening variables/black boxes, and Psychology peddles little else.

This is the single most uninformed comment I've read on BG this week. Which is saying something seeing as Blubbartron posted in this thread.

Someone is doing it wrong and I don't understand it. The whole field must be retarded.

Ya because it's only this study that's pants on head retarded.

The fact that this is what they come up with for someone in their final year using other people's phd surveys is enough to show the field has gone to utter shit.

It's not retarded because there can't be good studies, it's retarded because these are the kinds of studies that are overwhelming the field. If this had been a freshman 101 class, that would be one thing.

Way to be mature enough to make idiotic comments about something you apparently don't know too much about then, when being made aware of them to find fault with the author.

What on earth are you going on about? I asked a question, you went into a long rant to answer it.

1. Claim fallacies to counter every post
2. Uses fallacies (ad hominem)
3. ????
4. Profit


[edit] fyi google goggles have a little more than dick to do with my husband's livelihood rofl.

Oh so the one bad example is proof of the entire field being riddled with shit. Okay then.

lol, yeah, psychology is so bunk guise! man, honestly fuck you. psychology and the lengths people have gone to understanding and working with the mind has saved countless lives, and you think that because some 20 year olds try to talk like they know what they're saying when they took a few courses in college, that discredits the field entirely? and discrediting Cliron for their field of work? grow up

Man people's reading comprehensions are on fire today.

I never said there can't be worthwhile studies, don't confuse me with blubber's posts. I wasn't even the one to say Cliiron's research was bad (again that was blubber). But you know, people love to jump and give assumptions with guns fired. What I did say is it's riddled with shit studies. And it's things like this that promote shit studies.

Hey, I was an English major, and even I know that field is shit and only good for like two things: teaching and editing. The rest of the field is pretty much a bs field. Not going to have a nervous breakdown when people point that out.

[Tyrath]

No, actually you said psychology is all kinds of retarded. And people called you out on judging a whole field by a few bad apples and you backtracked to saying it's full of bad apples but isn't itself retarded. GG.

Not to mention just because you've run into some bad studies doesn't mean the whole field is full of bad studies. Gtfo with your anecdotal evidence.

[Xajii]

Overwhelming the field, or overwhelming online forums and pop media? For every shitty "Study shows" article on Forbes, HuffPo, anywhere from Gawker to Al-Jazeera, there are scores more where people are actually doing real, quantifiable work that helps people.

Psychology is not "retarded". Your understanding of it may be, however.

[Mina]

I certainly hope that you all answered the survey appropriately when it asked about how quick your fuses get lit.

I'm kidding.

[Ksandra]

No, actually you said psychology is all kinds of retarded.

Yes, all kinds of retarded. Politics are all kinds of retarded, too, that doesn't mean there aren't good parts to it, idgi. I really don't think you understand what I meant by that statement. "all kinds of retarded" means there are a lot of different levels of retardation going on. If I thought everything about it was retarded, I would have said exactly that.

Good luck in proving percentages either way.

And you did say exactly that. You said nothing further of it until you were called out for making an ignorant blanket statement.

He's not the one making claims of knowing how "riddled" it is with something.



A simple "I made a rash comment without thinking about it" would've done. But please continue to

[Ksandra]

No, I said nothing further until people started jumping my dick claiming I said something I never said.

Why would I need to clarify something I didn't think needed to be clarified? I would assume people understood what I was referring to with the video game violence comment. But it seemed people read the first sentence and went off blazing without actually thinking of my whole post. I am not clairvoyant. I can't foresee that people were going to jump way off into the distance with conclusions.

[Tyrath]

We read your whole post. It doesn't change the fact that you read some bullshit forum posts and online articles and assume that that's the entirety of the field of psychology and come in claiming that it's riddled with bullshit studies. You're making claims with no evidence to support them other than your own very much anecdotal experience.

That is the whole fucking problem with your high and mighty lolpsychology statement.

Ya, I am done with you, as I think I've said about three times now that is not in any way shape or form what I said no matter how much you want it to be. No use talking to a brick wall.

[Tyrath]

Oh, you didn't say anything about the entire field?

And this is why psychology is all kinds of retarded lol.

The fact that this is what they come up with for someone in their final year using other people's phd surveys is enough to show the field has gone to utter shit.

It's not retarded because there can't be good studies, it's retarded because these are the kinds of studies that are overwhelming the field.

Uh huh. Okay.

[quannum]

maybe ksan is a scientologist

[Ksandra]

Oh, you didn't say anything about the entire field?

Nope, none of those say "entire field." Need some google goggles?

All of those say it's got a lot of shit going on. Not "entire" there is no "entire" listed anywhere. Keep looking for it though, maybe it's hidden in the black smart somewhere.

quit being obtuse. are you trying to tell me what you said is in line and apt because you said "the field has gone to utter shit" instead of "the entire field has gone to utter shit"? give me a break lmao

Utter shit means there is a lot of stuff going on that needs cleaning, and the whole video game violence thing is a prime example of it. It means that there is a weakening in the field. That doesn't mean there is nothing valuable.

I guess it's just the way I talk idk? Y'all taking this shit wayyyy too seriously. If I had meant there were no good parts, I would have said that. I never ever did. Everything I have been attacked for as been purely assumption on what you want to assume was going on in my head. And even when I have explained it, you are still coming up with your own theories.

[edit] the only legit think I think we'd disagree with is how many of these bad studies are out there, as it would seem people want to act like this is rare, and I think it is way too common. (which does not mean I think all)
