Ok, I was gonna say "Guess I'm gay then"

The academic process is not the scientific process. There's a great video floating around fediverse with an old scientist talking about his experience deprogramming postgrads.

Could be espionage, could be that the powers that be are pushing companies to operate without proper maintenance, increasing the risk of catastrophic failures.

In the art of war, it is essential that you be the one to pick the battlefield. Say what you will about the Democrats, they're experts at choosing the battlefield.

I could be convinced that dysphoria is a thing at that age, but how can you even do research on such a thing in such a political environment?

It would be like being in Germany in 1938 and trying to do research about the jews. What exactly do you think the outcome of any such research is going to be?

Dug my oculus rift out of the closet. It's a tech that sounds amazing on paper, but once you put the unit on you find it's a really exhausting thing. Besides the fact that you're using your entire body to play these games or even to just do basic navigation, I find that it's just taxing being in the virtual world.

That isn't to say that it's going to go away or anything, but meta really made a mistake thinking that this is going to be something everybody does.

#feditips some platforms let you create timed posts so you can line up all kinds of posts to occur in the future to make it look like you never leave your desk.

It's likely totally false, or a gross exaggeration.

I've found a lot of articles in sources I have no real reason to trust, but you'd think this would be on the front page of every newspaper if it was true, since it'd be a world paradigm shift.

They're claiming they've found almost twice as much gold as the human race has ever mined through history, in one shot.

World class gold mines can get 15 tons per year of gold at great effort and expense, and such huge reserves at one mine would imply that this one mine would effectively shut down all of them by putting out an order of magnitude more gold than the entire gold industry.

It's possible, but it's an extraordinary claim.

This bowl of dicks is going to change how humans eat forever. It's going to solve world hunger

I don't hate Musk, but he's a shyster. While charging people to watch him eating a bowl of dicks, he'll tell everyone how it's going to transform humanity and bring them to new horizons.

Science is my jam.

But science isn't politics, and the moment they intermingle, politics will overpower science every single time.

Japan is a couple decades ahead in many ways. I suspect that when their boomers fade away, they'll be one of the first to get the next boom caused by falling house prices and rising incomes.

You lay with the enemy, prepare to be stabbed in your sleep.

Incredible watching all these people using massive amounts of energy to protest energy.

I mean, the only other option is to die in prison, so I guess so.

tfw people don't just increase the character count on their instance...

Thanks for reminding us that we have nothing now.

Thanks, der fuhrer and his Pomeranian lap dog in a turban!

tbf, doesn't really affect the men.
