If there's one thing I've learned over and over during this pandemic, it is that "do your own research" is immediately followed by a train of bullshit that only demonstrates extreme susceptibility to confirmation bias.
- nomel 5y agoI did my own research and bought and wore masks when the CDC was saying they weren't needed. There was definitely "bullshit" involved there.

- coolso 5y agoAgreed. We should only ever listen to Authority Figures like CNN, the government, Snopes and Twitter. Bullshit-train-free.
