    My biggest pet peeve in internet is people who state something as a fact eve though they are just really confidently wrong

      My industry is full of pseudoscience and liars. I can’t fault them for not knowing, and probably came off as more harsh than i intended.

      I correct patients all day, and got pretty burned in the long long ago on reddit by people who “know better” patting themselves on the back and getting my factual information downvoted to oblivion.

        I feel you. The internet experts are always to confident with information they have literally never fact checked. It’s just based on something they head and assumptions.

        Of course everyone falls on that sometimes because we can’t possibly filter every single piece of information we get.

        But some people start arguing back when they are corrected instead of just going to read about the subject to see which one is true and that is just so dumb
