Don't like how they came back into the thread, and how they jokingly dismissed my callout of them for the "so many posts".

Would also do Pmush for overexplaining their vote on Steak.

And, presumably, if I hadn't explained my logic, you'd be going after me for making a drive-by vote, right? I know those catch-22 cases, Amni. I've used them, as scum. You're not slick.

Or maybe I was explaining the logic on my reread and vote. If someone else jumped onto the same case they had on D1, I'd be interested to hear their logic, too.

Bif flipped third party, everyone knows that means analyzing votes means nothing. But you explained that it meant nothing, except not by saying that it means nothing.

Reading comprehension is important. It doesn't mean nothing, it explains the discrepancies in Steak's behavior.

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.

girl dick energy

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
People tend to unconsciously select information that supports their views, but ignoring non-supportive information. People also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs.

Confirmation bias is a broad construct covering a number of explanations. Biased search, biased interpretation and biased memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations).

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
A series of psychological experiments in the 1960s suggested that people are biased toward confirming their existing beliefs. Later work re-interpreted these results as a tendency to test ideas in a one-sided way, focusing on one possibility and ignoring alternatives ("myside bias", an alternative name for confirmation bias). In certain situations, this tendency can bias people's conclusions. Explanations for the observed biases include wishful thinking and the limited human capacity to process information. Another explanation is that people show confirmation bias because they are weighing up the costs of being wrong, rather than investigating in a neutral, scientific way. However, even scientists and intelligent people can be prone to confirmation bias. Confirmation bias cannot be eliminated entirely, but it can be managed, eg, by education and training in critical thinking skills.

You put way to much credit in how much I remember about previous games. Also, not confirmation bias to "always think pmush is scum" because that would imply that I think you're scum and then everything you do in any game confirms that belief. If anything, always thinking someone is scum is a sign that I am bad at accounting for individual playstyles.

Regardless, I think you're scum because you spent a lot of words talking about nothing important to leave your vote on steak.

Jesus loving Christ, Amni. What am I supposed to do, ignore my suspicions because ooh someone might think it's scummy that I wanted to look into my D1 gutfeel and see if there's anything to it? Maybe I should vote someone else just to make you feel better.
