That’s a great definition of science! Look at something in the world and take it way too seriously.

That’s very interesting… because in these memes, anything can be absurd except for the Saddam-9/11 link; in this way they tacitly propagate the lie that Saddam was connected to 9/11.

Over the past 24 hours I’ve seen memes about the absurdity of saying that immigrants are eating pets in Ohio. But if conservatives wanted to counteract that, they’d adopt the Saddam-9/11-meme approach: propagate memes that similarly involve absurdities but that tacitly assume that immigrants do eat pets in Ohio.

Maybe I’m thinking too much like a scientist. There’s probably already a principle something like: To spread a harmful lie, hide it in a harmless lie.

(edit: I don’t mean this as a criticism of you in particular, @fossilesque@mander.xyz ; on the contrary thank you for keeping us all up-to-date on the latest memes.)

so… I’m familiar with the meme, but connecting Saddam with 9/11 was a conservative take used to rush us into an unnecessary war, so… the intent of these memes is a little hard to interpret.

Gondor should tell its citizens that whoever finds a solution will get a substantial tax break, and let the market do the rest.

Is this how mermaids are conceived?

The last couple journals I published in let you put the post-print PDF on your web page after an “embargo period”. I’ve never personally seen a journal forbid you from submitting articles whose preprints had been posted in sites like arxiv.org.

But I think scientific publishing isn’t “weird”, more like “predatory”, “exploitative”, or at least “antiquated.”

Insufferable couple vs insufferable corporation.

You’re the perfect audience for their paper. Let them know what parts weren’t clear or convincing. There’s always something.

When asked whether he ever encounters employees who silence their phones outside of work, O’Leary didn’t hesitate with his response: “The next moment is — I just fire them.”

TBH they’re better off.

I’m sorry, but I don’t feel comfortable writing a reply to this comment because the only possible intelligent replies involve profanity or hate speech. Would you prefer a nice cookie recipe instead?

Quite right. Here you go.

It took a few hours to clean, and at least a dozen big black trash bags.

You got lucky. I once roomed with a hoarder who trashed our apartment that bad too. But if I tried to sweep or dust they’d get really anxious, and if I tried picking things up they’d literally start screaming and shaking. Even piles of old magazines and plastic bags and empty bottles had to stay where they were, let alone heaps of dirty clothes, cheap trinkets, and assorted “stuff”. That person had some bad things happen to them as a kid, and long-term anxiety is no joke.

Life when “What’s our vector, Victor?”

“Wait… THAT’S all the data we have?!?” (for data-driven experiments)

“We couldn’t get any more subjects?” (for human subject experiments)

“Is it statistically significant?”

“FML this isn’t publishable, is it?”

Oh, I should have thought to check youtube videos, thanks for the info.
