Ngl this is what every single one of you fucking liberals calling me out about my substandard research practices makes me feel .

—— And you know like to be clear I am saying that as like that’s a Me problem. I need to figure out how the fuck to be able to accept criticism or none of this is gonna get to a point where it’s worth Jack.

Sounds super real and like it definitely happened

Whenever I see a story that seems far fetched, I try to think about it more broadly.

Was it a NYT reporter who hadn't heard of Jim Crow laws? Maybe, could've been a nobody intern who grew up in the South. Besides that, I fully believe this conversation has occurred with an ignorant person, if not a NYT reporter.

But there is a very specific agenda here. So say to people who already think that the NYT is bad, that the NYT employs people without even the slightest understanding of history. I highly doubt this happened.

Don’t downvote people for being skeptical on the internet folks, we want to encourage it.

Am I doing that? Seems to me like that's getting done to me.

[–] kyle@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Correct, it's good to be skeptical

[–] Mortoc@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I was reacting to you getting downvotes.
