  Much more likely the whole earth turns into a desert, no?

  What would that look like? Asking for research purposes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All I’m saying is that postdocs shouldn’t be living below the poverty line with a side of stop killing people.

  I think you misspelled capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because our (US) current priorities fuel a worldwide arms race, while real investment in basic sciences would benefit humanity and keep postdocs from starving. The entire NIH budget for everything is $47 billion, while the Department of Defense budget is $825 billion, $145 billion of which for R&D. You think we should be spending $100 billion per year more on killing people than on making people’s lives better?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem solved then! Everyone just needs to do killing people science in order to make a living.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes. Nice science and evil science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it only takes a long time because there’s so little to go around. Do you think defense funding takes months and years to award grants? No.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I sure wouldn’t call it scientific progress, if that’s what you’re implying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The struggle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s obvious how to make it better: spend as much money on scientific progress as we do on figuring out how to blow brown people up.

  You mean pickett?

  I take it back… the Honda Odyssey fucks hard.

  That pretty much describes all of Vegas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old-timey doctors⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that makes up for a lot of bad things that were done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fifth Helmsman⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s held up remarkably well.

  Wasn’t his mother from the Arkham family?

  Yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI collapses media reality with Sora AI video generator | If trusting video from anonymous sources on social media was a bad idea before, it's an even worse idea now⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m actually glad that AI is making people realize that what they see is likely not real. For the history of media, the default has been for the written word or images or video to be taken as 100% truth, when in reality, it has always been very easy to deceive and manipulate. Now that we will suspect everything, maybe there will finally be critical thinking.

  I learned how to reflect the laser beams in Breath of the Wild when I fought Ganon.

  Far UV refers to the wavelength, not distance from humans.

  Aaaaaayyyy, you got me

  I’m pretty sure nothing can kill tardigrades.

  I’m a little confused about the ozone because I know multiple people that have literal ozone makers in their home.
