That would be sweet but I have never come across such a thing unfortunately!

It’s not the second pizza that is so bad, it’s the fact that anon couldn’t wait to get home before scoffing the second pizza that makes him a fat ass.

Lasik isn’t some life saving critical operation that would be provided for if she lived in a leftist European state, you make do with contacts or glasses until you can afford it. The parent is a dumbass too for running to twitter with this but it is an elective.

That’ll teach him to fly illegal flags, hope he gets hard labour otherwise society is doomed.

My friend’s dog was extremely self aware, more than most dogs I would say (not an expert), but would still try and eat its own poop.

I don’t trust LLMs to do tldrs for me and it certainly doesn’t provide a rich nuance or spark discussions like asking a human would do.

(I say that with 7 comments in the thread lol but you get my point I’m sure)

Peer review isn’t an infallible process, it has been shown to be super susceptible to cronyism for example, and even outside of it churns out a vast array of (mostly) useless unreproducible, or sometimes even entirely fraudulent, research. I don’t even have a problem with the former part, research is actually a lot more tinkering and trial based than some set-in-stone endeavour and it certainly wouldn’t hurt the good Ms Sparado to remember that.

I am paraphrasing the post from memory but it came across extremely gatekeepy and condescending with the “but have you conducted double blind trials like I have?” (or sentiments to that effect) as if those are the only valid ways of conducting research. Not even a slight sign of humility in how much researchers and academics have got wrong themselves and maybe to use that as an example in caution when doing your own research.

I have a feeling someone baked this cake just for the meme.

Right, because professional researchers and academics have never been blinkered by biases or had financial motives to publish certain things or the fact that most published research is unreproducible horseshit. I don’t need a meta-analyses and cross corroborated studies to know something works for me despite all the published reasons that say it shouldn’t (or vice versa). Pathetic attempt at gatekeeping IMO completely forgetting that most research is in fact based on tinkering and trial & error. Professional researchers are not magically immune to human biases and fallacies, case in point thalidomide, trans fats, “heart healthy” seed oils etc etc.

My genuine thanks for taking the time to craft your lovely reply.

How would this reduce drag? Genuinely curious.

GWR will use any damn excuse to cancel a train.

If you don’t know then I am not telling you.

The cyclist in the last panel was probably running a red light.

He wish he were that important to be on top of some revenge list.

Oh come on now, next you’re going to tell me Daily Star is not a shining beacon of journalistic integrity!

haha let’s use the only parroted phrase you know again and again haha

“only stable democracy” haha that old chestnut, you are deluded if you are ignoring the number of actual democracies in the ME that USA has helped topple or marginalised.

Maybe your radar needs an upgrade?
