  • but I know that there is at least one where the odds of a letter to Nature being accurate a few years later is about 50%.

    you know, there is a difference between “getting published in Nature” and “submitting your work to Nature”. It’s subtle, perhaps: one involves being published in the journal. For the world to see and scrutinize.

    I bet they get lots of letters that they do, indeed, find aren’t well substantiated enough to publish.

    Also, one field. Lmao.

    Also, please tell me why you made your first comment, I’m genuinely curious. Did you read about this somewhere? Where, if you recall?



  • that sounds like the dumbest horseshit I’ve ever heard of, both because an educational journal is built on its reputation, and because even if it were true, you’d still be wrong to imply that’s a bad thing for a different reason: proving some other guy wrong is part of the process.

    let’s assume – even for a brief moment – you are, in fact, 100% correct with this claim.

    You’re almost definitely not, but hey, let’s assume.

    scientists are all about being right, so much so that they loathe their own frauds (watch some BobbyBroccoli documentaries if you don’t believe me), and they also take extreme pleasure in disproving each other. sometimes, good science is in trying to disprove what some other guy or some other team said because “I want to be right/I want that fucker I hate to be wrong (we’re all petty humans, even scientists)/I want us to understand the world better, and we need to know if this is in fact as they claim”. Peer review is ingrained in their doctrine, that’s what good science is. You think if someone, a person with enemies, competition, and friends alike, got their paper in one of the most prestigious educational journals in the world, someone, somewhere wouldn’t be going “nuh-uh! I bet I can prove otherwise!”? And at that point it’s two scholars betting their career dick to swing around that they’re right and the other guy’s wrong, unless of course peer review actually means that prestigious journals generally don’t publish horseshit.

    in short: your claim is not only wrong, it is… a fundamental misunderstanding of how science works as a concept, I feel? Maybe not always in practice – there’s always politics sticking their dick into the mix to muddy the waters – but that’s part of what these journals pay and charge for. Prestigious peers. To review papers and generally make sure that nothing they publish is outright bullshit.

    now, are they fair prices for knowledge that helps us all is another debate, but suffice to say: going “fuck you I’m gonna find out if you’re wrong” is literally part of the job.

    Are you just, like… not that bright? Or is this just a transient phase, a hard night for you?

    life clings to me like a disease

    fortunately, I plan on having a massive heart attack in my late 40s/early 50s, just before the wars over clean water and food start. And they told me I didn’t know how to plan for the future.






  • Later Tuesday, officers told CBS News Los Angeles that they were called to the area after receiving a 911 call reporting a kidnapping at the location. When they arrived, they say that they saw that a federal immigration operation was underway and stayed to maintain peace because they were concerned by the growing crowd and the federal agents.

    remember, calling the police won’t save you or someone else from being abducted, they’ll just “keep the peace” (read: keep any bystanders from saving you) while you are.


  • uBlock Origin probably just needs its filter lists updated, you can update them by opening the extension, hitting the gears icon, clicking on the “filter lists” tab at the top and selecting update next to any that are outdated.

    Personally, I use the nuclear option because fuck google – I have AdNauseam (which includes uBlock Origin), SponsorBlock, PopUpOFF, DeArrow, Return Youtube Dislike, and CanvasBlocker.
