they said to "educate yourself", not "get education from experts and professors"

I did my residency for 3 years on TikTok and I have a PHD from YouTube.

Mommy blogger of the lake, what is your wisdom?

Dip your taint in water that touched ginseng.

I did that once and my erection lasted for more than 4 hours.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Did you go to see your content creator for that?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'm cured*

Vaccines don't cause autism

You joke, but I have watched so many YouTube tutorials on unreal engine, Godot, and Blender to learn game development stuff. I wouldn't say I'm an expert. But I definitely know a lot more than I did a few years ago.

Well, I'm autistic, and I've used blender a lot...

Correlation does not equal causation, guys.

[–] NocturnalMorning 3 points 1 year ago

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm going to guess you did more than just watch videos... If you also applied that knowledge in practical work, you did educate yourself on how to use those tools.

Whatever you made is the validation/grading of your education. IMO that's a perfectly valid way to get an education, for those kinds of topics. It's much more risky to grade yourself on abstract knowledge where you can't directly make something and see if it works or not.

So I should start practicing my random medical knowledge from the internet on real subjects! Got it. Thanks!

If they start bleeding unexpectedly just send them to the waiting room while you look it up on YouTube!

[–] NocturnalMorning 4 points 1 year ago

I would wait a few years, make sure you've really watched a lot of YouTube videos on medical stuff.

Well said. I learned how to use Photoshop 4.0 by following online tutorials. I had no formal training in any kind of graphic design, I had zero artistic ability. But following Doc Ozone and Andy's Awesome Art tutorials, I became good enough with the software to get a job designing ads for a local newspaper publisher.

As much as I learned, I still never thought I was smarter or knew more than the people who actually went to school for the knowledge, the people who spent years honing their craft. And that was just doing basic graphic design. I can't imagine the thoughts going through a person's head when they think watching some videos on YouTube make them qualified to make actual life or death healthcare decisions.

Well yeah, I wasn't bring up a counter point. My comment was a joke.

Ah, a fellow Prager U alum.

I see nothing about her googling experience!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

How many hours has she logged on Facebook?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

What do actual doctors who have studied for years know?!? My grandad said rub some dirt in it. Sure, my niece died of e-coli, but it wasn’t the rare pork, she just didn’t pray hard enough.
