Did you not read the title at least? How does firing all these people indicate they know what theyre doing?

What should happen is not always what does happen. There are tons of examples of brain dead companies and rich people buying companies they dont understand and then ruining them because of that.

- Comment on The meme is the price tag. 7 months ago:
You know what is really messed up about the publishing system we have? There are people out there that defend it. They claim the high costs are a “feature” that prevents fake/garbage papers from being published. Which best case scenario, shows that the emperor is stark naked.

If enough people believe that it is, they’re not going to be as likely to fight things that they should be.

Saying nothing at all is better than only being allowed to say good things and none of the bad. The former doesnt shift opinions in either direction but the latter introduces a pro-buying bias to reviews. Good for the publisger and no one else.

Any lunar dust that they made contact with would have found its way into the lunar module for them to breathe in and be exposed to.

Moon dust is functionally a lot like asbestos. It is composed of a sizeable amount of tiny shards of rock that aren’t great for your lungs.

Just because the company you work for is making bank doesn’t mean they won’t fire you at the drop of a hat if they think they can make more by doing it.

Yeah dont do that.

The US is one of 3 countries on the planet that still stubbornly primarily uses imperial units. “The US doesn’t do it that way” isn’t a great argument for not adopting a standard.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 7 months ago:
Looks like Nintendo and Sony are competing who can get away with being a bigger asshole. Boundary testing sociopaths. Game becomes popular, dev and publisher foist unpopular requirement to continue playing in order to see what the response is and if it doesnt tank numbers too much, they now have a green light to weasel this into other games. Hell even if it does tank numbers, they already have their money and you probably wont be able to get a refund at this point.
- Comment on youth risky 7 months ago:
This has “dont wear your seatbelt or wear condoms” energy. It never made any sense to argue that point there and it doesn’t make sense here either. Wear your lab coat and goggles or you’re going to be kicked out of the lab until you grow up.
- Comment on youth risky 7 months ago:
Yes we know salt and water arent dangerous. We ask that you wear labcoats etc. in the lab despite not working with anything dangerous so tjat you form a habit of using protective lab garb regardless. Because a lot of accidents in the lab cause harm becaude someone thought it was safe to lower their gaurd and it wasn’t.
Case in point: one of my undergrad professors during his time at grad school walked around in the lab without his safety goggles on. He felt comfortable doing that because he wasn’t himself working on anything particularly dangerous at the time. He was just walking from one end of the lab to the other. Well it turns out that someone else was. There was a fairly good sized glass bottle with fuming nitric acid and other stuff for a reaction in it that was boiling away in the fume hood. There was a funnel sitting in the neck. Occasionally the jug would “bump” in other words, some liquid would spurt up top due to a slight build up in pressure caused by intermittant boiling. And one time while he was walking by, it burped a lot more violently than it normally would and some of it sprayed into his eyes while he was walking by. He spent the next two weeks in a dark room occasionally dropping antibiotic eye drops into his eyes so his corneas would heal. Apparently it was fairly painful and every blink felt like he rubbed sandpaper over his eyes. If it had been a strongly basic solution, it would have eaten his corneas and potentially blinded him permanently. Point is, we are trying to stop you guys from becoming too casual in the lab so you dont have your corneas half eaten by nitric acid because you felt safer than you actually were.

Getting the attention of your intended audience is part of communicating effectively. Buzzfeed has the reputation that they do because they embellish and distort the truth for entertainment purposes. That is the problem not that they make use of memes to get their intended point across.
- Comment on Academic Rizzlers 7 months ago:
A lot of the language you use is a reference to other things. And language evolves precisely because enough people repeatedly used a word or phrase in a new way. It seems that your main criticism of the use of memes in literature is that they “dont feel right” or that you merely dont like where things are going which isn’t a solid rationale for disallowing them any more than people thinking the use of the word literal figuratively somehow makes the figurative use of the word literal “wrong.”
- Comment on party poopers 7 months ago:
This was at a community college in the US. Instructors are supposed to be supervising them with lab coordinators supporting them. The lab that had the gas incident was downstairs and the student was left unattended or otherwise gained access to the lab after class. Hence their supervisor had a chat with them about not doing that. The biology lab coordinator responsible for those labs found the gas was on and had to shut off the gas.
- Comment on party poopers 7 months ago:
Tbh these numbers dont surprise me much given my experiences as a lab coordinator. The highschool students were far far more prone to mistakes and accidents than the college students were and those were the gifted students. Theyd do stuff like leave broken glassware and glass shards in the dirty glassware bins for me to find. One tried to cause an explosion by turning the gas on for all the bunsen burners and walking out. (Instructor reprimanded for leaving them in the lab unattended, student was expelled)
- Comment on epidemiology 7 months ago:
People say this but the reality is that you are already traveling through time and you aren’t teleporting into the space where the Earth used to be. Just as traveling backward would essentially just reverse that process. i.e unless you specifically design a time travel device to kill you that way, thats not how time travel works.
