Isn’t an important part of science to be skeptical of new findings? One of the metrics the article uses is attitudes that scientists are corruptible, as if we should deny that bias can have a huge affect on research. Research that is funded by billionaire think tanks and corporations should be closely scrutinized, they aren’t paying these scientists for results that hurt their bottom line.

You do know that Cheers is a fictional TV show created by Hollywood writers who aren’t from Boston? That’s like saying you know what the real NYC is like because you watched Friends.

It’s a bunch of corny media headlines are not indicative of how frequently actual people use it. How many NYC residents do you think refer to it “the Big Apple”? None, because that shit is for tourists.

If anything there are more cult films than ever because people have more access to movies than they used to. Also, a lot of the time cult classics get mixed or poor reviews initially but over time gain wider appreciation.

My neighborhood growing up used to get door to door JWs all the time. My two favorite memories of them: I had a babysitter who was Mexican and she pretended she couldn’t speak English. Days later they show back up with a Spanish speaker asking to talk to “the Mexican family who lives here” and my mom was like - I have no idea what you’re talking about. The second: my family was on our porch with our Labrador and some JWs starting walking up our staircase. The dog was very gentle and sweet, but didn’t like them for some reason and wound up chasing them down the block. Never saw them again.

I’m pretty sure they’ve been there since the day the T first opened.
