yeah me too

so it’s got to be convenient for you

in what way? I’m not sure I understand

yeah but what if you’re wrong? it’s not like it would hurt to apply anyways

excellent choice :)

just because you were that person doesn’t mean you are now. the advice still holds

maybe figuring out how to enjoy whatever is going on is more important than speeding through it to the next thing and the next and the next

someone forgot they’re standing on the shoulders of giants

now is that kinematic or dynamic viscosity?

I fear this is happening to every industry

one fluid ounce of water is one (weight) ounce of water

but in the long term there’s always a swing back the other way

solidarity means solidarity. other working class people are not your enemy (re: 1984). the all or nothing mindset accomplishes nothing besides closing your mind off to the plights and perspectives of others.

-also trans and disabled

it’s been long enough that minimum wage should be $25/hr anyways

I want to get better at deeply understanding people, which probably starts with getting better at listening

not within your lifetime though. you just have to have faith in the peer review process. also peer reviewing typically does not involve actually reproducing the results

but you can’t! are you personally able to verify the results of every scientific investigation ever performed? think about what’s currently happening in psychology. loads of old foundational studies have been found to be irreproducible. and yet people had faith that they were conducted honestly and appropriately

that’s not true. there are things that are not definitions. like my bed for instance, there are aspects that are arbitrary (my personal preferences, design choices, etc) and aspects that are not arbitrary (its physical form that exists beyond definition)

yes but you still have to have faith in the ability of another person to do science and not falsify evidence

but to people with faith, their faith is evidence-based
