Damn the stigma. Number 5 is the one that most effectively lets you squirt liquids in the eyes of Reviewer 2 so you can then run away cackling.
To be clear, Reviewer 2 deserved it. Reviewer 2 always deserves it.
Agreed.
For instance, G Suite is now so thoroughly integrated into school workflows that, even if they collect nothing from students while under 13 (ha!), they are setting kids up to harvest their data in the future by forcing them to learn how to perform basic tasks only on their apps. It's like advertising fruity cigarettes or vapes, but for data.
It's not just that all of these companies harvest everyone's data, but so many of them are specifically targeting kids from as young of an age as they can.
If you really want to stop the stainless steel obsession, you could start cleaning the benches with bleach and not rinsing again afterwards. The corrosion will set in quickly.
Aluminum will stain, but it won't start rusting.
I've started sending this vibe whenever given an opportunity to provide feedback. "Leave me the fuck alone. If I want your shit, I will come find it, don't force feed it to me."
The worst offenders of all? Predatory scientific journals/conferences. Publish a single paper in the wrong journal and your inbox will be endlessly filled with their spam daily until the end of time. Spam filters don't work because they are nearly indistinguishable from legitimate emails. I will fucking burn down their buildings and smash their computers in front of the soulless eyes of the people who are responsible for sending this shit.
All students send in a self assessment: Grade: A Justification: get fucked, you greedy scum.
I believe RevLeft recently had guests on and they mentioned even basic medical supplies such as ibuprofen were hard to come by. Maybe it would be possible to bring some of these types of supplies too?
Too humble. You're better than some professional historians I've known.
The first new antibiotic in 60 years? Bullshit. What, does the author never read? A group at my local university published on a new class of antibiotics within the last 5 years and they are far from the only ones to do so in the world.
This is just "look, AI is shiny and will fix everything," while ignoring reality...again.
Comrade, I think you could really benefit from therapy. Many of the things you are saying are reminiscent of similar thoughts and feelings I've had a habit of getting stuck in throughout my entire life. It's a numbers game to find a good therapist without even approaching the problem of insurance and access to therapy, but the single most effective thing I've done.
Being able to talk through the struggles and contradictions in your mind is one of the first steps to reprogramming how you think about yourself. Identifying the source of negative ruminations is tough to effectively do on your own. Cognitive behavioral therapy is good, but you know what's even better? Dialectical behavioral therapy. ;)
If you don't have access to traditional therapy, finding a therapy group/community to join may be an effective and free alternative, such as Al-Anon. You sound like you feel alienated from those around you, but also from yourself. Community is part of the answer to this. It's tough to open yourself back up, but it's worth it. Take that risk to reach back out to people, reprogram your mind to treat yourself with love and kindness, and you will someday look back and be thankful toward yourself for those efforts. Would you be comfortable treating others in your life the way you abuse yourself within your own mind? I suspect not. You deserve love from external sources, but also yourself.
As an aside, even if you feel like your posts in capitalisminddecay are inconsequential, I can tell you they have been one of the most informative and fascinating parts of my experience on Lemmygrad. Keep up the good work. As hard as it can be in those moments, I find it comforting to know that at my lowest points the only way to go is up. Life will improve. It's a journey filled with challenges and while each person has their own destination, travelling with company, with a community you build around you, makes that journey much more enjoyable.
