A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Ooh I recognize that twitter account. "Ill-informed" is an understatement.
Exhibit n we're giving out doctorate degrees like candy.
A STEM PhD should be able to read and write at a high level and an PhD in English should have a modicum of knowledge of the world that surrounds us. This type of communication shenanigans only strengthens the current zeitgeist of anti-intellectualism IMHO.
note: That is assuming this isn't a satire account, which it very likely is, I refuse to believe this level of stupidity hasn't been selected against.
Supposedly student are now relying on AI so much that they are parroting it. Things are gonna get worse, because everyone will have a doctorate soon and the owners of AI can guide them.
Unfortunately it's very real. The author Naomi Klein has a great book about Naomi Wolf called Doppelganger, based on the fact that people keep getting the two of them confused. Her descent into the right-wing conspiracy world is quite a thing.
Quite funny to see someone call Belfast calm and peaceful though. I'm in it quite regularly and usually just want to get out as soon as I can.
Shit, this splash of sad reality doesn't help with my suicidal tendencies...
Yeah but they have 4G! THAT IS STRAIGHT POISON!
No no no, 3G was deadly up and until 4G came, then 4G was deadly until 5G came around.
Jesus fuck. I was born and raised in Belfast, there's absolutely nothing about the experience today (out in 2019) that even remotely resembles the 70's.
also the 1970s weren't some magical time for living a naturalist/naturist life. in the northern empires, lead based paint and lead based fuels were in common use. in the global south, genocidal dictators carried out brutal violence to impress whichever northern empire they were affiliated with.
the fact that she wants to revisit the 1970s speaks to a great degree of access to privilege within capitalism, white supremacy, and even the patriarchy despite her presented gender.
I wonder if people living in Belfast in the 1970s would have described it as calm, still, peaceful, restful or natural.

Makes me think the account is satire, knowing nothing else about it outside this thread
She should be more sceptical of how the astronauts transmitted the image ...
Obviously with 0g
