Reply to comment by My-Left-Plate in How Google Alerted Californians to an Earthquake Before It Hit by max-venum

>I mean I was with you until the condescending on.

I have no idea what you're referring to. What part of my response was condescending?

I have a PhD in seismology, and OP asserted false information. I am trying to teach why it is wrong in a way that makes sense to people unfamiliar with the field of seismology. What would you rather I say?

Conversely, I thought the OP's tone was very condescending. Specifically, this part.

> So they predict earthquakes.

The part where you said ‘uh, no?’

Now you double down with your PhD and ‘false information’ and ‘trying to teach’. You may be trying but you are a bad teacher. Step one in teaching is compassion and connection and you are doing neither. You are condescending from authority and it shows.

Read what I said. For most people the word earthquake means the earth quaking where they are. Which means OP is dead right.

I give up. I don't know why I bother commenting on reddit posts, anymore, and your response is why. This is not the same website as it was long ago, and it just keeps getting worse every year. Perhaps I'm finally done after many years of saying I would be. 🤷

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!

Maybe you should take a walk and figure out why you don’t have any friends. Hi t: it’s because you a smug know-it-all who isn’t very nice.
