I've seen these, too! Unlike scorpions, which inject their venom through their tail stinger, pseudoscorpions inject their venom through their pincers! This seems a lot more logical tbh and it's why they don't have a tail

Learning from others' mistakes is real. I've learned a lot from my dad that way—I say that I've learned to so basically the opposite of what my dad does

The title of the post is "Meme improvement rule," which implies that this format is improved when Crowder is replaced by Calvin. The OP also provides a template for the Calvin version of the meme.

This leads me to believe that the post is saying that this version is not Stephen Crowser's meme format. Stephen Crowder may have pioneered the format, but it has been reclaimed by Calvin, and this specific meme format with Calvin is no longer Stephen Crowder's

oh shit I never realised that. I always thought it meant like the ogre kind of troll

Yes it's an alternative for the same format, just minus Stephen Crowder. The post is saying that Stephen Crowder doesn't deserve to be the meme format and so uses Calvin instead

However, if that's to every adult, then couples would be making $180k combined, with which they might be able to save up for a yacht or a house

I understand empathy when it comes to harmless remedies like homeopathy and rescue remedy, that kind of thing, but when it gets to not getting your kids vaccinated because you think they're poison or taking homemade colloidal silver instead of your prescribed antibiotics, that's where I have trouble empathising.

My rule is that as long as something isn't replacing some other medical treatment recommended by their doctor (assuming they even saw a doctor), then I don't mind. My dad has gotten into grounding pillows, which don't have good evidence behind them that they work, but he finds he gets better sleep. Could be placebo, I don't care! If it works for him, that's great. But if it's replacing a treatment recommended by a doctor or something then I would have an issue.

I think I'm more worked up about this kind of thing than most people because I have familial connections to conspiracy theories 😂 but I guess that's one or many steps beyond pseudoscience, which is what the article is talking about

I'm not American, and it took me a while to figure out what POTUS, SCOTUS, and GOP were
