And if Honey, I didn’t shrink the kids?

So how big are DS9 and the Defiant actually? The scales were all over the place.

+1 for garbager. Garbaging is hard.

It’s how you write German compound nouns. You say a phrase and your cat types it without spaces

ah, classic Sichalskardassianerselbsterkennunddannaufdenbodenguckerei aka Eigenvergarakung

I didn’t look up what it is and instead choose to stay with what I thought it was at first glance: everyone should fuckin’ JIVE

I CAN’T HEAR YOU, BROTHER!!

I see sloppy slop-shilling, I downvote it.

Looks like a whole bunch of nonsense by and for people with no understanding of the purpose or even the structure of academic research. The author is a “Bachelor of Business Administration” with an apparent penchant for arcane scientific-sounding babble.

Read any proper publication, and you’ll see every word and thought thoroughly explained or reduced to common (if perhaps field-specific) knowledge. The abstract is short enough to give a cursory overview, and doesn’t dump a page’s worth of the author’s favourite sciency-sounding words and symbols.

Here’s an example (supposed to be without a paywall): https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3641399.3641443

Note the format, length, and wording of the abstract, the authors’ credentials (both field-relevant and at least graduate-level), the conciseness of the discussion, etc.

Compare this to Watanabe’s efforts to convince you (and whoever else reads his stuff) that he’s smart. Very, very smart. Way smarter than you. Way smarter than the people who don’t realise his smartness. The least he expects of you is unearned respect, but I’m willing to bet he’s monetising this.

If this was the 00s, he’d probably have one of these websites (PSA: don’t download or install anything):
