  • Yeah, when someone thinks that my entire life is wrong and/or that some humans deserve torture and punishment just for existing, that's bad for interpersonal relationships.

  • Feeding my family alone is expensive. I can't afford to feed all of y'all.

  • I do occasionally cook for larger groups, and you need entirely different techniques. At home, you don't need to account for the time the water spends between 70 and 100 degrees because that's a minute at most. When you've got a hundred liters of water, that suddenly becomes very relevant. If you set your timer for 10 of actual boiling, your pasta will resemble porridge.

    Also, I don't personally own cooking gear to make food for 20+ people.

  • This is why cows kill so many people. Its really easy for an animal five or six times your weight to kill you just by interacting the same way it does with its own species.

    That gets worse as the animal gets bigger.

    And cows are basically calm little angels compared to say, hippos.

  • You can absolutely do a literature review and include relevant statistics. That's a very common thing to do in pretty much every field. That's why this is so strikingly weird, but that's probably because this paper is literature reviews crammed into a single article, hoping that proximity might create a casual connection.

    one such mentioned papers is

    Yes, that says "doctors have different feelings about obese people". It says nothing else. And that's my point.

    judging a person's willingness to follow healthcare only by their body type is indeed discriminatory

    No. Giving that person a different and worse level of treatment for unfounded reasons is discriminatory.

    That's something this paper completely skips over. It reports the doctor's feelings, it reports the patient's outcomes, waves it's arms and goes "seeee, this might be casual! It really probably might be. It might cause it!"

    This is "icecream sales cause shark attacks" levels of science.

  • In the context of body it is a completely different thing than behavior,

    It's not. Obesity is, for basically every obese person, the direct result of their behaviour. You don't become obese without a sustained pattern of overeating.

    Obesity is a direct result of behaviour.

  • Luckily you have a couple hard copies of your journal paper and an inked up copy of your thesis after reviewer number 2 decided to no longer like his own suggestions on how to graph the mass accuracy

    I hate this because it's true.

  • Shhhhh

  • Libraries are cool

    Jump

  • For an academic Library, absolutely. But I worked at the local library here, and we didn't track anything unless you checked out the book.

  • We totally 100% support you as your true you

  • My grandparents left behind an entire farm full of (sometimes literal) shit. Thankfully, you can pay companies to take the non-relevant crap away. Unfortunately, you'll still have to sort it yourself.

  • What a terribly uninformative paper. This paper says two things:

    • medical professionals have different opinions on different kinds of people.
    • treating people differently may affect healthcare outcomes.

    There are no statistics, no controls, no correlations presented, but they heeeeeavily imply a causative connection despite never showing one.

    Professionally, I definitely have opinions between one type of clients and another, because one type will almost always follow instructions and the other is a coin flip. They both get the same quality of work, but if you asked me honestly which I would rather have, it would be the former.

    In a study such as this, I would show a strong "bias", because several decades of experience have shown that one particular type of client doesn't give a shit about safety rules and laws.

    Ironically, that particular type of client would show up again in the second part, because they predictably also have much worse outcomes after I've done my work (because they didn't actually do it).

    And this, bots and droids, is why you put some controls in your paper.

  • Food addiction is kinda unique in that list, since there aren't really people who go "akshully, smoking is really good for you and you need to respect my constant smoking!" or "my porn addiction is actually something you should love, if you dislike my porn addiction you're discriminating against me"

  • Wait, are people checking out books, bringing them home and then... Just putting them on the shelves again???

  • What do you think causes the Egyptian men's problem with women? For context, I (a woman) was groped and physically harassed more during my 3 weeks in Egypt than in the entirety of the rest of my life combined.
