Tennessee Senate passes bill banning chemtrails - Lemmy.World

Fucking Chemtrails. I have MS and one of the times I was in a physical rehabilitation clinic, relearning how to walk, I had a nurse who believed in chemtrails. She asked if I realized that my MS was caused by chemtrails. I was taken aback. I was actively playing civ with a friend who heard my side of the conversation. After she said that, I had a short conversation with her about how chemtrails aren’t real. She said “Well I guess all those congressional hearings I watched were fake.” To which I said that we are never going to agree on this and it’s better to just stop talking so we don’t have an argument. She basically agreed and thankfully she was gone by the time I needed my MS meds that evening. Chemtrails are BS and yet so many people believe they’re real, even in professions that should understand they’re not real, that it is genuinely depressing.
A lot of nurses are dumb as shit. I’ve also met M.D.s who were seriously fucking stupid people.

I had CS professors who should NOT be asked about anything other than programing or math

If it was something other than those two topics then you will almost certainly be given a confident, yet incorrect, answer

Sys admin here for quite some time.

This is pretty typical in our field I’ve found, because that’s what it takes to move up in this field.

Non-CS just believe the “oh you work with computers? So you must know how to hack Facebook” logic, so they have to either say they don’t know how and look stupid, or just rattle off some absolute bonkers shit that uses acronyms and such above the non-CSs head.

This eventually bleeds into their reality and becomes a character trait.

It’s more a human/culture problem than a CS problem but I get what you mean :)
