Casual misogyny. "I don't hate women!" Doesn't hate the idea of women serving men's desires.

What if it's scientists murdering scientists? I know they want to sometimes.

Allowing the crystal myths to continue only leads to more harmful behavior down the road. Sure, it can work as a placebo, but so can other things that don't tend to leave someone trusting unproven methods in lieu of proven ones.

Are you every one of my coworkers who unknowingly send me black text on a clear background because they always use light mode?

Disgusting.

Was?? OMG, did he finally kick the can?

Edit: my bad, I was thinking of Watson.

Even if they do, will people treat it differently? It's hard to differentiate those things in your head even when conscious of the difference. The insidious nature of your own bias towards trusting or not trusting what you read from them is why opens are effective at shifting narratives and opinions.

If it didn't work, they wouldn't do it.

What kind of conceited child tells people to "do some real work" and talks like no one else could exist but by the grace of their work?

• hyper individualism
• blind support for oversized trucks

Gotta be from the US, huh?

Take a look outside your country and see how things are done elsewhere. I can't fault you for the shitty US auto.industry continuing to needlessly bloat the size of vehicles past what is reasonable, but I can fault you for your blind support of it.

Go do some real work and take a good hard look at how your truck compares to those from the 1990s or the early 2000s. Unless it's specialized, does it have a bigger bed? Is the bed at a reasonable height for lifting things in and out of, or is it needlessly tall? Where are your spark plugs - do you need to take the entire cab off to access and replace them? How tall is the hood - when you hit a pedestrian, do they roll on top of the hood and survive or do they go under the vehicle and get dragged along and killed? Can you see around your vehicle enough to park and maneuver easily, or do you require a dedicated GPU and camera system that renders a 3D image of your surroundings because otherwise you couldn't park your rig because you can't see a single thing within 30 ft of your vehicle in any direction? When something goes wrong and your vehicle needs work, do you have to take it to a specialized mechanic to fix it, or can you take it to almost any mechanic to fix? Better yet, can you do some real work and fix it yourself, or does it require proprietary tools and specialized software to maintain?

You tell me: what is needed and what is not needed? New trucks suck. They are bloated, ostentatious pieces of trash.

I do get it. You have no reasonable excuse to drive a multi-ton pickup that's tall enough that you can't see people standing in front of it. There are alternatives or it's not needed as a daily driver. How is it that the rest of the world manages to accomplish the same things with smaller vehicles?

Keep trying to justify it to yourself or just own the fact that it's ostentatious and ridiculous.

Excuses.

Why should I have to subsidize your oversized work vehicle and the extra wear and tear it causes our infrastructure?

Drive a van. Drive a truck that is reasonably sized and designed for human work (like are used in many countries around the world). Pickups don't have to be built on frames sized for semis.

200? Try 1000. It has "analytical" in the name, so you apply a 5x upcharge to the "science" price modifier.

You're lucky if people in the physical sciences know how to restart their computer. Sure, they're experts in their fields, but actively avoid learning new technology unless someone twists their arm.

The fields that could benefit from robots the most are the least equipped in terms of money and requisite tech knowledge to use a robot. Instead, you're likely to see them used in for-profit labs and those aren't the ones that tend to do novel research. Well-funded biotech and pharmaceutical companies are likely to have robots, but many of those don't want to do discovery-stage research. They tend to buy discoveries from public university labs.
