No need to be rude. Here, since I’m so simple minded and dumb I’ll try to convey as best as I can to one such as yourself. You’re saying she’s an expert in advocacy (how does one become an expert in that?) and politics… or maybe showmanship?, it doesn’t make her an expert in space programs. We should celebrate those people less, and feature actual scientists and engineers more. What I’m saying is that would be a narrow band if we just include people who’s job titles are scientists and engineers, because we are assuming other people in similar expertise fields would not know the original tweets context. If that is off base, my deepest apologies.
It makes her an expert in advocacy and politics, not science or engineering.
Obviously advocacy expertise is no less worth than engineering expertise or science expertise, just like arts expertise is no less worth than any of that and ditto for plenty of other kinds of expertise in complex areas.
However, the “salesmanship” kinds of expertise are already the some of most widely celebrated and rewarded by present day society, hence my point.

So you’re saying that science _memes should only accept memes from active practicing scientists and engineers with degrees in their own specified fields?

Just because she isn’t a straight engineer or scientist, doesn’t make her expertise less worth it I don’t think. And I would think that would make a very narrow acceptable requirements for this place.

I bet that is really fucked up because you might spend a long, long time trying to convince yourself that he would change back or just be less of an asshole. That’s a special sort of grief where they are still living but you’re mourning who they used to be.

Cats , when left alone (as in feral), mostly eat meat naturally. There is documented behavior in animals that homosexuality occurs naturally in the wild. There is no correlation to your comparison.

Just because there is supplemental taurine in cat kibble doesn’t mean that’s the only thing they need from their diet. Just get a different pet jfc
