MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.
Twitter is bad.
No source needed, carry on.
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
The hero we deserve.
Yeah, I decided this a couple years ago unless someone seems unusually reasonable. No source will ever be good enough. The block button is the best way forward for most people who ask for a source. Because you can tell most people think asking for one is “winning” as soon as it’s asked
a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
Unless it’s common knowledge or easily sourced.
no. support your claims
Common knowledge You don’t have to back up absolutely everything you say with evidence (or you’d soon run out of wordcount to advance your own point properly!). Some things are common knowledge. That could mean that a fact is just generally known by everyone, and not disputed or in doubt. This could include:
•facts such as London is the capital of the United Kingdom •well documented dates such as the start of the First World War in 1914 •H20 being the chemical formula for water •things which everyone knows from their lived experience, such as the sky is blue.
Edited for formatting
those examples I could accept but I think a lot of people use imparted wisdom as “common knowledge” and we should drill down on any claim that is disputed.
Prove it.
you see that you just did, right? it’s tautological.
Yes, my friend, I did see.
This is false actually. Any claim can be dismissed and evidence doesn’t matter because nobody cares. The best way to convince people of things is with cheap psychological parlor tricks
black pilled as fuck
