oakfarmHopefully funny, several times I have seen this claim online. And I was for some reason like 100% sure this is a myth.
Yeah, I thought it was a myth. So every time I have seen it, I thought: "One day I must tell the internet(tm) that it is a myth". Then, this week I learned that the story is true. Some homosexal did that. I have no idea why I was so sure it was a myth.
Surprising related to both this and my last entry. In school we learned that Hans Christian Andersen's story about a nightingale was really about Swedish singer Jenny Lind, who he was in love with. As an adult I saw Stephen Fry on TV when he said that Hans Christian Andersen was gay. So I thought: "You're saying my old teacher posthumous wanted to turn H. C. Andersen straight? That's bad". However some years ago I read in a popular history magazine that H. C. Andersen wrote in his diary that he was in love with Jenny Lind. So it turned out that no matter what Stephen Fry thought, my teacher had a good reason to tell us that story about H. C. Andersen, Jenny Lind and the nightingale.
Then follow up. You know people with lung cancer often have yellow teeths. Therefore yellow teeths cause lung cancer. Or maybe there is something else, for example smoking, that both cause yellow teeths and lung cancer? The thing is, in a previous entry I did mention those headlines that countries with female leaders handled the pandemic better than countries with male leaders. Is it crazy to wonder, is it possible that a very high functional country like Finland, is both functional enough to elect a woman president (if they like her politics) and functional enough to have a strong civil society to handle crisis?
The problem, for me, with reading about the pandemic is the risk I get angry. This is a trivial example, but how to read this and not get angry?
Unnecessary scarring children. Not fun. Of course this was a very trivial example, but still an example.
