The myth of a scientist as a purely rational thinker, a “brain in a jar” devoid of emotions and values, still exists in some scientific circles.
In fact, many of us climate scientists were astonished when a Nature essay made this very argument earlier this year!
In this response, published today after a comprehensive peer review, we dismantle the myth of the "heartless brain," disproving the claim that science should - or even can - be neutral.

seriously the mocking a lot of foss people endure for having any principles at all is disgusting
that and i feel like my phone is making me feel really anxious
we honestly could live without constant stimulation from the internet, and not lose a single good thing about the internet
this 'dopamine economy' or 'attention economy' is destroying us all--if you're not glued to your phone, you're missing out!!!
Love to be waiting for months to spend $300 on a specialist just to be told "Try not thinking about it!"
I'm not paying you to ignore my concerns and shuffle me out of a room!
but i'm pulling through
i have not worked this fucking hard to give up now
I am increasingly unimpressed with #Harvard's bot account that keeps retooting the same article, and that practice in general. As a human, write a new vantage about how great your important article was. If you have more insight to share you have more insight to share.
auspol i guess. mythological dogwhistles.
“Christian Rowan” the name of the just re-elected local Literal Nazi Party member, (with the mythological meaning of “rowan” as a talisman of protection from fairies and witches, and its neo-druidic epithet of the portal-tree) always reminds me of @GreatDismal’s Nazi-Rock icon “Christian White and his Aryan Reggae Band”.

My electorate already had a Literal Nazi Party member, and my vote was insufficient to dislodge him (green vote was nearly 20% tho, slowly rising). Disappointed in the rest of you.
I'm really enjoying these.
93. When someone says "I want a programming language in which I need only say what I wish done," give him a lollipop.
Getting in a vibe to meet up at paradise sushi in lambda (1800UTC Friday!) and talk about hopes and dreams and strategies and choices for #SICP study, then the forward reminded me of Perlisisms and so I read these instead #computing
C is such a piece of shit language. Only language where "I need a dynamically growing array or a hashmap" is answered with "roll your own lol n_n"
EDIT: C (not C++, not Zig, not Rust) is the correct language for the job I'm doing. I am also very aware of how to implement dynamic arrays and hash tables. I have written my own stdlibs on freestanding C before. I do not actually need coaching in this matter, thank you. I also like C, sometimes, but sometimes I think it's a stupid piece of shit language, because it is

I'm disappointed that there exist plenty of small devices that take an SD card and play videos off it, none of them seem to be themed like a VCR.
Come on guys! Make a new mold. Let me put microSD cards into a tiny, tiny VCR
