When some proposed forming their own self-funded water provider, other residents revolted, saying the idea would foist an expensive, freedom-stealing new arm of government on them. The idea collapsed.

Fucking Libertarians.

"But their freedoms!" - joecct, as he said regarding Brexit

Is that confirmation bias by another name?

Is that confirmation bias by another name?

Related, but no. Confirmation bias is seeking out only evidence that supports your view and trying to avoid contradictory evidence. Belief Perseverance is when you proclaim that your belief is even stronger AFTER actually being exposed to contradictory evidence.

 

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Belief perseverance is the concept behind, "I trust my 'alternative facts' and/or gut fee-fees more than your hippie-dippie librul facts and scientific studies."

No, this is Backfire Effect.

Confirmation Bias is why you believe the other team commits every penalty.

Belief Perseverance is why, after the refs review the play and the call still goes against you, you decide the refs are bribed, rather than that your initial judgment was wrong.

Conservatives suffer from both and are incapable of self-correction because of Dunning-Kruger.

What's this . . . dogpile on burd time? Seems to me y'all have proven my point that it's just confirmation bias by another name.

Replay or no replay.

That's actually kind of adorable.

It is certainly garbage now. KFC was amazing to me when I was 10. So either KFC has changed since 1973, or I have.

 

[Handyman]

KFC is great...until you taste real fried chicken. That probably explains it Kep.
