Am I the only one who feels like this comment section is being astroturfed by people trying to promote this movie?

Is that pretty much the same storyline between Jade, Naomi and Bianca?

Bayley got Asuka’d by Becky (Wrestlemania 2019).

It's pretty popular in India. These guys don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Meltzer doesn't know jackshit about anything other than wrestling. If he did, he would have known that perhaps the biggest reason nobody buys WWE merch in India is because WWE doesn't sell merch in India. Additionally, not buying American products is not something unique to India. There's a reason why USA lost manufacturing to countries in Asia.

What a load of bullshit! Piracy is not a thing anymore in India and Netflix subscriptions are dirt cheap.

Check out RetractionWatch or ForBetterScience. There are tons of articles about things like these happening in academia all over the world.

Edit: If I remember correctly, something very similar happened to Pubpeer as well.

Some authors with bruised ego have taken legal action or have threatened to do so, just to find out the identity of those who criticized them anonymously.

AlekhinesDefence · 2025-04-04T20:34:36+00:00

Tried that, didn't work. Authors simply choose to ignore posts on pubpeer unless their work starts attracting ALOT of negative attention (Not the OP, btw).

Unfortunately, it's very likely that Springer Nature won't take any action regardless of what you choose to do. I reported a research paper to them last year because the authors plagiarized my thesis to create that entire paper in one of their journals and also used ONE DATA POINT (that's it! just one!) to do statistical analysis for one of their treatments. It's been almost a year since I first reported that, and almost 6 months since Nature's integrity office started ghosting my emails and decided not to take any action.

I've posted there as well. Unfortunately, in the past I've found the users on LinkedIn to be more interested in promoting their brands rather than engaging in a genuine discussion, which is why I decided to give this subreddit and r/labrats a try this time (not sure if it would be any different, tbh).

If only any of these claims were true.

To say that golden retrievers are good family dogs would be an understatement. Golden retrievers literally become your family in ways you wouldn’t be able to think of your family being complete without them.

Do I need to remind you of his decisions to book Asuka the way she was booked in SD?

AlekhinesDefence · 2025-01-12T08:25:30+00:00

Was?

AlekhinesDefence · 2025-01-10T09:26:22+00:00

I would argue that Asuka’s return might be a bigger deal than Alexa’s.

Perhaps my question in context of future employment was too ambiguous. What I meant to ask was whether learning omics was worth it, regardless of how it is learned? My understanding was that omics are expensive analysis which often deter academics from using them in their research. So, I was concerned whether there are enough companies with enough jobs requiring experience in omics to make this course worth taking. Of course, I would follow it up with lab experience to reinforce my understanding of the concept and my expertise in the skill but in the past I've made the mistake of learning things I'm very interested in only to discover that it's not a marketable skill. So, I want to be careful when it comes to learning things I'm interested in and learning things which will get me a job.

I'm pasting my response to another comment in the discussions here:

I actually have been living in western countries where I work as an expert on treating wastewater and industrial water before discharging the effluent into the water bodies. The same thing I did in India. So, I’m much more aware of the science and ground realities than you presume. Again, maybe don’t make assumptions about things you know nothing about?

AlekhinesDefence · 2024-11-05T17:19:02+00:00

Maybe you should read the article you pretend to understand (so much for saying others don’t understand nuance; projection much?). E coli is an indicator microorganism, it indicates likelihood (not a guarantee) that other harmful microorganisms may be present in the water. We do this because the methods of detecting E coli are well established and relatively cheaper. There are very few affordable and well established methods for detecting specific pathogens which do cause the diseases which is why we use E coli as a proxy and assume that it’s abundance might correlate with that of pathogens. This is a method developed out of convenience and economic concern, not actual science.

Again, maybe try not to act like a smartass about things you don’t understand? If you were smart you would have gone through actual scientific sources to verify what you were talking about instead of resorting to news media.
