- Comment on Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year's Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21. 1 week ago:
same… I couldn’t care less about titles or office politics… I just want some challenging work to do and a path to work-life balance

The idea is that if you focus on the work, all of that would/should follow…
I have read a few anecdotes from scholars basically confirming this: they were doing “everything right” and getting nowhere but the moment they decided to just do the work that makes them happy, all the titles and positions followed.
I believe Patricia Ryan Madson is one such story although not in a scientific branch. IIRC, she could not get permanent positions in any university even though she had a “perfect resume” but then decided to follow her passion and her career just took off.
I know this is idealistic, but I still wish this were how the world works

That’s really more like a 15 year window because I remember the 90’s and early 00’s and by today’s standards, people were racist as shit and it was considered acceptable.
Well, the Mango Mussolini nightmare started 10 years ago or so… so not too far off
- Comment on Slightly Unfair 2 weeks ago:
Dude, the difference is the scale… back then they could hint at it, if they overdid it, that was a career ending mistake
Now all safeties are off… they literally compete to see who says they worst racist shit
- Comment on Slightly Unfair 2 weeks ago:
Oh yes… when racist pieces of shit noticed it was OK to air their BS and wear it proudly after Republicans send the message that this is OK now… they feed off each other

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
While I understand your point, I think it’s unwise to read too much into the language very close people may use. I have forever called my wife “Gorda” which is “Chubby” in English even thought she is not and has never been chubby, it’s a nickname she loves.
Same with my son and daughter, we have all sorts of pet names and inside joke language which won’t be understood by anyone outside of our circle without explanation.
Ultimately, language is no different from physical contact… I rough house my grown kid to show him love (and probably to see if I still have it hahahaha) but I’d never dare do that at work (very on the nose example, but you get my point I hope)

not what I said, but nice attempt at deflection
- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 2 months ago:
That’s just some Murican bullshit, it’s what happens to people raised by reality tv
It’s harder to do the right thing, it’s tough to be truly kind.
Follow your heart and try to make a better world around you

I’m not fabricating anything… they are literally using a word wrong and we should not be “well, they meant xyz”
Whether they “don’t know” or just “made up a new meaning” is irrelevant
