  • Literally anytime CEOs, billionaires, or landlords come up. And not like euphemistic "eat the rich" type statements, tankie shit about literally murdering landowners (but also about how Tianemen Square was ok/just US propaganda, Russia has a right to Ukraine, and the CCP is truly progressive and respects human rights).

  • Lemme.ml: Where you can call for murder and warfare against meat eaters and landlords, but don't even think about saying a no-no word, mister!

    Edit: funny how all the negative comments flood in at once, almost like folks clocked in for work.

  • Honestly there's nothing like it. I've never had a European hamburger with the same taste and texture as a classic American burger--which I say totally independent of/not about quality. Euro burgers use a totally different grind that changes the density and flavor of the patty,, and then of course the toppings and bun tend to be a bit different. Sort of like NYC pizza being relatively simple, but apparently impossible to 100% recreate in any other city, there's nothing immediately notable about an American burger that you couldn't do somewhere else, but it does still come out differently. I hope you get your chance to try one!

  • Honestly just look up "Neil Degrasse Tyson annoying" and I am sure you'll find plenty of examples and summaries. But it honestly boils down to his delivery and projected self image.

  • I am personally someone who is annoyed by NDT. But I am not convinced his actions are net negative, and think the opposite is more likely. Folks who find him insufferable and also don't develop a passion for science probably aren't dissuaded from entering the field as a whole because of this one annoying guy. However, kids who find one season of Cosmos interesting or only see 5 of his tweets may actually develop a love for science before realizing that NDT is annoying. He'd be a much better role model, reach more people, and make the science community look better if he was better, but that doesn't make him bad when there are literally anti-science advocates out there. We need all the celebrity scientists we can get as long as they aren't actively doing harm in my opinion.

  • Much like unpaid internships, this is also a method to prevent anyone who is not independently wealthy from applying, so they can fill the department with the same people already benefiting from the current system and allow them to design one that benefits them even further.

    No one that this department is ostensibly built to serve can afford to work on it, so who is it really (clearly) for?

  • Ah, well that explains away one of the examples... You must be right! (I'd argue that the analysis of DNA is a thought/type of understanding, rather than the essence of a living thing, but that quickly gets towards another linguistic argument of Sausserian structuralism vs post structuralism.)

  • That definition could apply to a whole sentence (or novel), or a sound like "pfft." Or it could be an initialism, a movie rating, or an analyzed string of DNA. All these and more are letters arranged in a way as to convey thought.
