The pendulum of the mind oscillates between shitposting and effortposting, not between right and wrong.

"I've been correct about my predictions in the past, therefore you should believe my predictions about the future."

I'm sure a lot of the time people say this, it's true, and they're being honest. But I can never take them at their word. I always suspect that even if they list all the things they predicted correctly, they might be brushing under the rug all their other predictions that they got wrong! I can't assess someone's track record without knowing both the numerator (correct predictions) and the denominator (total predictions).

It would be cool if someone were to launch a service tracking that sort of thing.

I've seen chuds here talk about how nobody hires STRAIGHT white males--as if there is some widespread affirmative action program running for white males who happen to be gay.

But I've applied to 50 jobs in the past 3 days, and only one of them even asked about my sexuality.

Further adventures in job applications:

A lot of these will have questions like "Write out the number 12 in English," and "If you are human, name your favorite nut."

Why do they ask stuff like this? Surely bots would be smart enough to figure these out? What's the point?
