@halflawless @_saratonnin Cancer research attracts prestige seeking types.
You know the "I am curing literally cancer" type of arrogant.

@_saratonnin It’s actually scary seeing the type of people these programs select for these days

@halflawless I had a roommate in college who is now doing a phd in cancer research. She's been a difficult personality, let's leave it at that.
I feel like cancer research in specific tends to attract a certain flavor of person due to the perceived prestige of the field.

@heyhuwahere Suko: learning that true honor comes from within.
Toph:human relationships like friendship are important
Even in the first few episodes you can see development. I didn't really see that in Korra.
English
@heyhuwahere My gripe with Korra always was you didn't really go on a hero's journey with her. Pretty much all the characters in the original show have a character arc.
Aang learning to take responsibility.
Sokka learning to deal with women.
Katara learning forgiveness.
(1/2)
English
"If Korra was a man, Y'all will react differently"
Eh! WRONG!
Korra's entire personality is unoriginal. We DID as a matter of fact have a male version of the impulsive, self centered, egoistic skilled fighter.
His name is Zuko and we HATED him too, until he received sense.

@minordissent Overall wasn't great for anyone, cause i had to do way more work in the beginning and some of the guys got super stressed at the end.
English
@minordissent About 3 months in I already solved like 7 problems while some of my male classmates solved 0. Considering you needed to solve 2 problems to pass the class I didn't have to do any solving the last two months, cause the prof needed the male students to pass the threshold (2/2)

90% of “sexism” is actually women experiencing equality for the first time in their lives. Coddling women is so deeply conditioned into all normal, socially-well-adjusted men that most women are completely oblivious they are even being coddled. Only autistic STEM dudes unaware of these social rules treat women in a truly meritocratic, non-gendered fashion. And because that is way worse than anyone has ever treated them, they perceive it as bullying and abuse.

Who owns these terrible game publications?
We need new ones. I don’t trust any of them anymore.

🚨WOKE GAMING JOURNALISTS RUIN EVERYTHING—FOR THEM, IT’S NOT ABOUT GAMES, IT’S ABOUT POLITICS Video game journalism used to be about gameplay, graphics, and storytelling. Now? It’s all about diversity quotas, identity politics, and woke activism. Forget reviewing mechanics—modern gaming journalists are social justice enforcers, demanding more gender identities, racial representation, and political messaging in every title. Call of Duty? Needs more non-binary options. A historical strategy game? Where’s the LGBTQ+ representation? A review of Crash Bandicoot? Better find a way to link it to Trump. The result? Games are dumbed down, creativity is stifled, and the industry bends over backwards to appease journalists who will never be satisfied. Gamers just want good games. But in woke journalism, politics comes first. Source: The Article

@BlackDreaD9 @JackPosobiec She's kind of like Jennifer Lawrence for me. She's kind of like Hollywood's favorite and put everywhere. She's a mid actress and a lot of the roles she is put into it kind of breaks immersion. Like Jennifer Lawrence.
Not to say there's not movies where she's been good.
English
@JackPosobiec Honest question… why do so many people dislike her?

@ninaturner @elonmusk Also the reason why so few doctors are public is that work conditions are shit, you got to deal with way more patients and often more annoying ones. There's a lot of things regulated and you have a worse life work balance.
English
@ninaturner @elonmusk In most of these countries you, still need private insurance on top of it. Or like pay extra for a private doctor.
Austria has universal healthcare. But most doctors are private, especially specialists. So if you don't want to wait for multiple months, get on private healthcare.

Shouldn’t the American people be getting getting their money’s worth?

The United States has the highest healthcare admin costs (per capita) compared to OECD countries.

@khaliltooshort Ngl the whole Yaske debate obscures the way bigger scandal of shitty monetasation practices.

The biggest red flag for Assassins Creed Shadows is not YAS-KAY (yes I know how to say it correctly now) but the fact that it’s a Ubisoft game. The prices for this game are just outrageous and on top of that, they didn’t have both characters be Japanese.

@CringeCenterX @GarbageHuman23 Ancient Egyptians and modern Egyptians have rather similar DNA and modern Egyptians honestly can pass for either brown or white, depending on the person, how tanned they are atm and the person judging.
Tho it might just be that the Us concept of race is a bad descriptor of people
English
@CringeCenterX @GarbageHuman23 All of the above depending on the time period.
The 25th dynasty was Nubian and they ruled for about a century from 754.
The Ptolemaic from greece dynasty ruled for 275 years.
The majority of pharaoh's were Egyptian. (1/2)

@DrDebraSoh The amount of people who can actually make you happy long term is very small and in a lot of ways, our current society is very bad at giving you pointers on how to find and keep them. (7)
English
@DrDebraSoh Moral of the story, don't think you are 10/10 who could have anyone, realistically the choices of a good partner for you are a lot smaller. Don't preselect arbitrary bullshit like he's only 5'10 not 6 feet. Ask important things like do you want kids? First(6)
