it's quite simple, keep your religion private.
Politics requires verifiability and confirmability.
but not divine inspiration, alternative truth or any other 'mythical' nonsense.

"Checking for correctness is irrelevant to them."

A new study in Brazil found that authoritarians did not share news on social media based on criteria like appearance, credibility, or confirmability. They shared only based on newsworthiness. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/why-...

pro tip: if you're confident in your self taught skills, the Art Institute Schools went bankrupt several years ago and there's nobody in charge of confirming their database, so saying you went there has the same legal weight and confirmability as having actually gone there

Yeah it's like these Nobel laureates don't know about America?? Like they'd have more of an impact on confirmability if they strongly endorsed him

Trustworthy qualitative findings are built, not accidental. Lincoln & Guba highlight 4 criteria: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability.

Credibility in qualitative research depends on transparency and confirmability. Strategies like reflexivity, member checking, and thick description support referential adequacy.
These practices reduce bias and improve reproducibility: qdacity.com/referent...

Presidents have authority to pause spending, which is what Pumpkin has done.

I don't like it either, but Jeras I implore you to be more careful with your posts, which I've often commented on for lacking sources and confirmability.

"But the president may have other reasons, apart from the confirmability factor, to try and usher things in this direction," CNN notes.

Let’s face it, if there’s a spousal secret fetish litmus test for confirmability, there’s gonna be damn few candidates who survive.
Personally, I couldn’t give a rats ass what your spouse is into, question one should be are you competent?
That would be enough to disqualify most of the current mess.

Definitely yes on #1.
And there are so many issues with some of the others they are venturing into. First and foremost being veracity and confirmability. Social media is full of folks admitting to lting to get specific medications.
Then the lack of follow-up/ monitoring. No labs, ekg, or so on

Plus, if you screw up a confirm & press 4 again on block right at the edge of confirmability, you're fine because that's normal option select timing, so it doesn't come out on block anyway. There are lots of single hit confirmable moves in general in MK1 imo

Indeed. Doing a doctorate even pre-AI's rise, one of us found the basis for studies cited in some papers was German. Bottom line: For credibility, transferability, dependability & confirmability to demonstrate the doctorate's trustworthiness, there was an obligation to chase those citations down.

i get this argument for more normal jobs and normal people

But despite the nominal job titles i cant see the guy who CBP is actually reporting to as actually having less power, it seems extremely likely to me that her relationship with him and confirmability, is the reason she got the job at all

Confirmation hearings don't enforce accountability after appointment. They screen for confirmability. The real test is whether the Board's research directors keep their jobs when their models contradict the White House narrative. Personnel is policy.

Covers a many dimensions from metatheoretical positions to typical data collected. We argue that qualitative evaluations can be strengthened and knowledge accumulation improved, if reporting follows the insights from discussions about confirmability, transferability and reflexivity.

Trump is fully intent of finding the edge of the envelope of confirmability. I believe that edge will be more extreme than you think.
