Yes, we need one who isn't a laughing stock. Too bad we don't have one.
Oh, he's said hundreds of contradictory things. He used to be pro-choice, now he says women who exercise this right should be punished. Punished! He also said if he was elected president he'd be so busy that he'd have no time for golfing. He's now golfed more than any other US president in history. He's a consummate liar whose truth is whatever he feels it is in the moment. He's an absolute disgrace as both a president and a human being.
He's always bragging about "this has never been done before in US history, well, he's right. One thing he hasn't lied about!
Load More Replies...While it's hard to predict the future, some people are exceptionally good at it. The so-called "super-forecasters" can predict the likelihood of future events with astonishing accuracy, often with no particular prior expertise. Historically, evidence suggests that they are mostly generalists who dabble in all sorts of fields. They're simply less beholden to their own biases. The same applies when reversed, people who have built up an impressive but narrowly-focused expertise are usually less-accurate with their future predictions because they're limited by their own worldviews more.
Perhaps she hopes to change things from within... or is a fool.

(the picture in the article's cover displayed October 2013 for the first post).
Plus the comment has the "only Me" lock icon from facebook. meaning no one sees it but the poster
Load More Replies...Well... It seems that the second post is older, so maybe she just speaks from her experience?
I shop at my local Walmart Super Center several times a week since I'm retired and have found that ANYONE I ask for help is VERY well trained, friendly and SO helpful that it makes it a pleasure to shop there. When I ask them what aisle something is on, they tell me the aisle number off the top of their head and offer to take me there as well. It is not what is used to be as far as their employees are concerned and for that I'm really grateful!
Why would you even bother posting that? Especially after what you posted 3 years prior. Or did she just forget? Hmmm...
Surprisingly, this is also true with people who have dedicated their lives to one field of study when they're trying to guess where that field is going. And we have data on that, emerging after a 20-year experiment that began in 1984 at a meeting of a National Research Council committee on American-Soviet relations. At the time, the psychologist and political scientist Philip E. Tetlock was 30. After listening to other members discuss Soviet intentions and American policies, he was interested in the authoritative predictions delivered by renowned experts because many of them contradicted one another.
I have to say it--I don't think this is a real add. I think it's a modern joke. The font, the phrasing, the arrangement on the page... it's a modern spoof.
Heroin was developed as a non addictive alternative for morphine. Maybe should have been tested more but that's hindsight.
Might be, but it was used for every alement till the 1950. Even for kids.
Load More Replies...Soon after, he decided to put expert political and economic predictions to the test. Tetlock collected forecasts from 284 well-educated experts who averaged more than 12 years of experience in their fields. Ensuring that the predictions were concrete, experts had to give specific probabilities of future events. Tetlock wanted to collect enough predictions that he could separate lucky and unlucky streaks from true skill. The project lasted 20 years and comprised of 82,361 probability estimates about the future.
Pretty sure he just copied it, without knowing what it means. He probably thought "oh I do not have enough bridge building contracts, must post this!"
Load More Replies...THIS WAS NOT SAID BY ISAAC NEWTON! A Nobelwinner repeated it, and said "Newton said it", but he meant Joseph F. Newton, not Isaac. OMG. And it's a paraphrase at that.
I bet if you go back far enough you can a find a Trump quote that contradicts any statement he makes now.
I'm saving this. I don't know why, but I just know that some day I will be posting it as a response to a really stupid Facebook post by a relative.
Trump..." Yeah that Isaac Newton. Great singer"..." Huh? Wayne?? That's what I said"
I'm more surprised he didn't misspell Isaac and bridges, those are toughies for him
The result: the experts were, by and large, terrible at predicting the future. Surprisingly, their areas of specialty, years of experience, and (for some) access to classified information made no difference either. They were bad at both short-term forecasting and at long-term forecasting. They were simply bad at this.
What shock me the most isn't the fact he won a nobel prize but that he is an economist ! I mean they don't have to be right about everything but how could be so wrong about such a thing ? That isn't a small mistake ^^

I read that scammers were actually selling people medication to cure the Y2K virus. Don't know if it's true or not but knowing people I'm pretty sure it is.
Load More Replies...I was in the Marine Corps on an LHD as a Unix administrator when this was in full swing. I'll tell you that there are some systems that this was a real concern. All kinds of insanely sensitive software that was written before anyone was even thinking about Y2K was running on those systems. One of my jobs was to convert all our systems (my MEU) to not go haywire when the clock ticked over.
Where I worked our programmers worked on fixing the code 2 years before Y2K hit. I was on a team that worked on testing the programming. A lot of hard work went into it and we were all at work on January 1st 2000 to make sure it worked, all went well. I was glad that all the predictions of computer horrors never came true.
I was in a flight to japan from Tennessee during y2k. #yolo the flight was almost completely empty.
Omg the whole y2k thing gave me an anxiety complex, I was 12 and convinced we would live in a dystopic future. I recorded tv and radio as I thought the stations would soon stop forever :S not a fun time to be a kid
I was 15. Everyone around knew it was b******t at the time and talked about it. For me, it was interesting but not scary.

Stunning...I also lost a friend..and she had her office on the floor above the escalators. Worked for NYPD.

Anyone who played video games back then would have said differently. I was obsessed ever since I got pong for x-mas one year. Then my school got a Commodore 64 and Zork was the first computer game I ever played. I was so excited whenever I had a chance to play. Now I'm waiting on them to improve VR so it's not such a clunky piece of hardware and have it be more immersive. Kinda like ep in the latest season of Black Mirror.
Yeah, cause in 1977 PONG sucked! No one could imagine anything better, not yet. But just wait until PacMan comes out....!
Physicist Heinrich Hertz, upon proving the existence of radio waves, stated that “It’s of no use whatsoever.” When asked about the applications of his discovery: “Nothing, I guess.”
Radio waves? Radio Waves? I tried waving at my radio, my radio doesn't wave :(
Aww that’s kinda cute and sad. “Nothing, I guess.” You still did good, Heinrich! You did your part.
Well, I guess this proves just because you discover something doesn’t mean your creative with it.

Actually, it was used in our gasoline as tetra ethyl lead, to reduce engine "knocking." The inventor of leaded gasoline was Thomas Midgley, who also invented chlorflourocarbons. Because of that, he is sometimes known as the world's deadliest inventor. He contracted polio later in life, and invented a rope-and-pulley system to help move his limbs, but became entangled in it and strangled himself to death. True story.

After many unfortunate events brought a bad reputation to the name ISIS, the Immigrant Settlement & Integration Services (ISIS) has become the Immigration Services Association of Nova Scotia (ISANS)
To be fair, Isis is also the name of an Egyptian Goddess, so the radical Muslims didn't come up with the name
That's why I refer to them as the Islamic State or ISIL, which is more correct. Isis is my favourite Egyptian Goddess.

How they counted casualties: "All the people who died, please raise your hands!"
Total history dweeb here to ruin the joke....... they knew about the collision before they knew about the deaths. Obviously it was VERY premature to say no one died, but at that point, they weren't sure. They didn't realize that it sunk so quickly and that they were so poorly equipped for an emergency. Initially, it was thought that the rescue liners arrived immediately to find all the passengers alive and well because the Carpathia was extremely close to them. They assumed quite a lot, and you know what they happens when you assume.....

FOr the record, Sir Isaac Newton didn't say that about walls and bridges. It's a paraphrase from a book by Joseph F. Newton, and the person at the Nobels who said Newton wrote it forgot to amend, "But not Sir Isaac". Just sayin'. We got 10 bonus points on an exam for knowing this in physics...
Nice! I tried entry level physics as I was interested in bio anth, and it was a requisite. Omg I passed but hardly Lol, physics makes my brain overload. So many variables and formulae!

1.Made fun of Walmart employees in 2013. Became Walmart employee in 2016 2.Donald Trump said the US needed a president that was not a laughing stock in 2014. Many feel he is a laughing stock as President in 2019. 3.Economist said the internet would have no impact on economy by 2005. Internet is how nearly everyone trades, shops, communicates in 2019. 4.Apple claimed their products cost less but do more. Apple released a $1000 display stand in 2019 and most of their other products cost much more than comparable products of other brands. 5. Bayer claimed Heroin was non-addictive. 6.Donald Trump tweeted quote about building too many walls and not enough bridges in 2013. Is attempting to build wall in US in 2019 7.Marvel cast two “unknown” actors in a big movie in 2009. Actors are some of the most well-known actors in 2019. 8.Facebook claimed it would never sell user’s information. In 2018 Facebook was caught selling personal data for political purposes.

This way you scroll through the short list and have to scroll through the same list again toget to the new ones or even better, show the long list directly on bored panda and just give the short list to facebook under another link.
Agreed! Then again, they could just stop cutting these and those who are happy with best 30 can stop there.

NOBODY with a brain bought into Trump's garbage, even at the time. Seriously. Everyone knew he was a lightweight from the instant he came on the scene.

The best part for me: realizing that doomsday prognosticators, particularly "experts" are as clueless as the rest of us.
