  • I mean, I sometimes view nutrition as an impediment to my bed rotting, but that's because I have depression Also, I would kinda like to be able to skip lunch, because meal prepping is tough when you work til 0930 and takeout add up, cost wise

  • This is not meant to be a counter, I'm curious: have you? Cause I haven't, and I've always wondered who the target audience for that stuff is. Everybody I know thinks it's stupid, and I'll at most use drinkable food for health reasons (as in, if they have really sore teeth and can't chew or sth like that, or can't keep solids down) or if they've misplanned and can't have real food (like between two appointments).

  • Yeah I got that that's what the meme is about, but thought the comment might be about nosy humans anyway.

  • You mean because of people watching? I get this so much worse in the village than in the city, because village folks will remember and talk about your patterns, while city folks won't.

  • It's a colloquial term. My best friend is a psychologist and she taught me that distinction (I'm not a native English speaker), and I genuinely didn't know some people took offense to it. Never meant for it to be tiered. I know psychology is a science, and a natural one at that. You're the one acting like your field is somehow special and better than others. I tried to be general and you said your field doesn't fit in, so 'you already said stem' makes zero sense.

    Either way, I never said it was normal to pay for a PhD? I said it's a huge pay cut vs working and industry job, which not everyone can take. Some people have others financially depend on them, and they can't just decide to accept eating half of what they could otherwise for self fulfilment purposes.

  • Yeah, should've specified, hard sciences

  • Paid PhDs are only the norm in stem, and those are the exact subjects where academia is a huge pay cut compared to industry. Hell, I'll be taking a huge pay cut (in terms of net hourly wage) when I finish my master's and quit my part time job, that requires a bachelor's, and start a PhD.

  • Wow thanks for sharing, I never would've thought! Glad my toilet is in a seperate room from the bathroom (and that that's pretty normal in my country).

    Quick ETA: I just realised this is 'just' about aerosols. So not necessarily true of micro-solids, still important

  • That leaver causes microscopic bits of poop to be sprayed everywhere unless you close the damn lid

  • Not live under capitalism where food needs to be min-maxed like that because the goal is profit over sustainable nutritious production (and yeah I know we can't just decide that as individuals). There's plenty of peoples around the world and throughout history who have done and continue to do that.

  • That is a very unempathetic stance to take. A little upsetting to see this here.

  • But theres an ADHD and an auDHD comm, and maybe the other .5 would like to see posts they can relate to

  • That's true but not at all what you said in the post. But thanks for clarifying here!

  • I could also go on about what I think is harder or easier to read, but that's neither here nor there. The post claims there is/are a font or fonts that were specifically created with the intention to be harder to read for the disabled, and I want to know whether that's true.

  • Quite interesting, but doesn't speak to the creation of fonts specifically to make reading harder for the disabled. It even says evidence that Calibri is easier isn't conclusive. Doesn't say anything about whether any font was created to make reading easier or harder for anyone.

  • Ya got a source on that? Sounds interesting

  • money

  • You should meet the maths majors who aren't really interested in maths but think a maths degree will allow them to become hedge fund managers or similar

  • Oh absolutely, I'm glad we're not doing that. I don't get why there's so few statistical studies, like 'people who have been using (e.g.) chewing tobacco have x health stat compared to y in the general population'. It's frustrating, especially with how many young people are using snus and vapes in recent years. It's tough to make informed health decisions when the information is hard to come by.

  • I know and like that! Just wouldn't want the people it's made for to feel left out
