FUCK I hate this comic.

I visited it because I knew, I just knew it would have something on the Neutrino find, and be another example of the pretentious 'artist' illustrating how stupid and gullible non-science people are.

If you like xkcancerd, please kill yourself.

i understand how some find the guy annoying and borderline pretentious. however, he's largely right. major news outlets around the world have been having headlines like "SCIENTISTS BAFFLED" "EINSTEIN WAS WRONG" "TIME TRAVEL POSSIBLE".
It's really fucking annoying, because almost always the result gets debunked and you get shit about scientists lying, making stuff up, how science is not dependable and it's really fucking annoying.

the hate from this thread reeks of that xkcdsucks blog which is the most retarded thing I've ever read. not least because of the irony that guy who wrote it only did so in the hope that he would gain the same level of popularity from piggy backing off the thing he apparently despises.

Wrong.

I hate it because it's a shitty comic.
I hate it because it makes hipsters think they're smart.
I hate it because it makes science majors think they're hipsters.
I hate it because the comic is basically the artists own mental masturbation which everyone seems to be licking the pre-cum of.
I hate it because occasionally you get comics like the 'Neutrino' example which is a massive load of cum shot out from Randy and every hipster wannabee scientist and scientist wannabee hipster is going to cop a big load in the face. Then they are going to post this shit everywhere in universities, social networks with a smug cum dripping grin on their faces.

Let's see what's in the news today:
-Saudi women only now get the right to vote
-19 people die in a plane crash
-The Libyans are still fighting a brutal battle for their freedom
All while you get upset over someone making witty remarks about a scientific subject and possibly feeling smug about it.

I find it deliciously ironic that you label those who disagree with you as 'immature'.

Yes but those guys (with the exception of maybe Kaku) actually do things to popularize science. Last time I watched Cosmos, I don't recall Sagan saying "But we should not venture out into space...it would be a vast waste of resources for humunz. I had often argued against the moon landing, for it would provide our civilization with no progress whatsoever. Of course... I was right."

I didn't mean that they are the hipsters. I realize I formed my sentence a bit misleadingly.

I meant hipsters show up to post hate in ever thread about documentaries, DeGrasse, Sagan, Kaku, Cox or anything else to the same vein.

Usually the same people will then post in other threads about how they hate the fact that most people aren't scientific enough.
