It's not the alt-right! It's just...*proceeds to regurgitate bog-standard alt-right talking points*

FTFY

They went mask off so fast that I'm surprised we didn't hear a sonic boom.

Tl;dr: imagine the success and continuity of not only your career but the careers of your employees had a significant element of random chance involved. Welcome to research.

Now former scientist here. I see the typical "people would do this anyways" comments but I'd wager they don't understand what it's like to work in science and academia. It's publish or perish. In the United States, it's an absolute capitalist meat grinder and it can be brutal.

As a lead researcher, you are dependent on securing grant money not only to keep your job, but to keep the jobs of your co-workers and the very lab itself afloat.

How do you secure grants? By showing you have the experience and ability to complete the research.

How do you show you have the required experience and ability? By your lab's record of publishing the results of successful research.

What is successful research? In an ideal world, it would be what was found at the end of an investigation, regardless of if it disproves the null hypothesis or not. In reality, it's the results of research that have further application, either in industry or that disprove the null hypothesis and act as a step to get you further related grants.

What happens when an investigation flounders? So you didn't disprove the null hypothesis. In an ideal world, you publish a paper explaining what happened and everyone knows what not to do in the future. In reality, it's basically unpublishable as journals want what will make them money. Your lab now has the research equivalent of a gap in your resume. You continue with other research and hope it is publishable. If your lab has a streak of bad luck and multiple projects crap out, now it's harder to secure grants. The downward spiral begins.

Is what this researcher did wrong? Absolutely, but I get it. I 100% get it.

We need serious reform that removes the profit motive. A functional research system would better catch fabricated results before they're published. It would alleviate the pressures that drive good people to do bad things in the pursuit of doing further good. It would actually enhance scientific discovery as ALL results would be published and without parasitic publishers as unnecessary middlemen.

Seconded, I use a Define 7 and it's fantastic. Best big black box I've ever owned.

Have you checked out United Allergy Services? They claim to have self-administered allergy shots.

It's 100% worth it. Not only does it get rid of the pollution, it tastes a lot better too.

Thank you. I was just wondering why the hell anyone would work for AA to begin with. This helps explain some of the draw.

So Google Search, even back in 2000, was an AI?

I'm of Sicilian heritage and Cash's first wife, Vivian Liberto, would look perfectly at home at a family reunion.

Baby rats are very intelligent, empathetic creatures and want love too.

Such cute little babies.

ROFLMAO

Yeah, he's the classic boomer model of "my point is whatever makes me correct at this immediate moment". Check his comment history for a laugh, he gives people grief for doing the same things he's doing here. No self awareness or integrity whatsoever.

What's funny is how you call someone a coward elsewhere for doing the same. I guess it takes one to know one.

That's a lot of deflection when you could have just said "I am unable to address anything you wrote" and saved so much time.

I don't think you understand what anecdotal evidence means. One person seeing something repeatedly is still anecdotal and of similarly little value when making statements about broader trends.

You didn't link or even reference this media coverage that specifically supports your assertion so yes, for your comment and even this one, the observation is still solely yours. We're not mind readers, we don't know what you're not telling us and, in case you ask, no, we're not going to look it up for you. If you don't provide evidence, people online generally assume you're making it up, and rightfully so.

A boomer thinks their anecdotal experience is indicative of anything beyond their own experience? Shocking.

I can't help but wonder if they'll ever fix the action menu glitch for controller users.

Grandpa, I think you got lost on your way to Facebook.

Props to the guy who asks if Al Qaeda is woke. These two have to be some of the dumbest people alive.

Watch out, language like that will have idiots ripping out their network adapters next.

Better yet, do both. You can do both!

I'm sure you already know this, but reading through some of these comments makes me suspect others might need the prompting.

"Vote for the lesser of two evils? Bah! I won't vote at all!*"

*and help the fascist who is super pro-genocide get into office. This will definitely help the Palestinians and as a Trump presidency helps the Israelis rain firey death upon them, they will die proud that I stood resolute in my convictions. Their deaths will be worth it!

You piqued my interest and holy shit, Spotify money laundering is wild.

Did anyone else get goatse vibes from the first picture?

It's really refreshing. We do have our share of crazies, as my block list can attest, but for the most part people are willing to accept that sometimes situations can be really complicated.

Sold by Nrnrnrg, a small "Ukrainian"* family owned company trusted for generations, established last week!

*designed in the Ukraine but assembled and shipped by our "trusted Chinese partners"**.

Looks like Reddit is leaking again.

Linkin Park... 2000... Middle school?!

Fuck, I got old.

I drive a Prius and can confirm. Large trucks act threatened by my existence on a regular basis.

You've got to be kidding.

TIL agriculture = capitalism. I bet they think the free market is exclusive to capitalism too.

This whole exchange is hilarious as the DK is strong in your counterpart. The best part is how smug and condescending they are (winter child lolol) despite clearly having no idea what they're talking about. My money is on him being a libertarian.

Edit: hoooooly shit, I was right!

You sound just like the articles early in Trump's presidency, furiously hand waving away his fascist tendencies with similarly meaningless platitudes.

If this is verifiably false, I'd love any verification you might provide.

... different strokes for different folks.

According to her videos, she has mastered several different strokes.

No, you don't get it. Every single person needs to grab their bootstraps and pull so hard that everyone is promoted to management! Then we'll all make management salaries. Having no employees left to manage, we'll resort to managing each other.

He also sounds 11 years old. I had known about him for years before hearing a recording of him and he sounds exactly like you'd expect.

Here's a clip. With obvious bass boost. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LShDealN770

Bingo. My first table saw was a heavily used Ryobi direct drive. It was noisy at hell and hard to use with precision, but it only cost $25 and helped me figure out if I wanted to get into woodworking or not.

Seriously, if you're just getting into this, you don't need to drop $1000+ on a SawStop. If you have the money, fuck yeah, get one. If not, just use proper technique, tools, and PPE. Be extremely careful as even the cheapest, most underpowered saw will take multiple fingers off in less than a second. If you're not scared, get scared. I've been doing this for over a decade and my table saw still makes me wary. That's a good thing.

Don't forget for some of the spells and skills. How can I forget late nights full of "Indiguneishon! Indiguneishon!"?
