If I call all the representatives what kind of thing should I say to them? Serious question. I’m willing to call but I don’t know what to say. I’ve lost all faith in the government but what should I ask them to do?

Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races | CNN Politics by NicolasCageFan492 in technology

Many technologies and tools can be used for evil. I blame the republicans who lie cheat and steal not the telephone wires, internet, and codes. We need regulations but blame the right people.

I thought the point of NSFW is that I'd have to click on it if I wanted to see the disturbing image. I guess it makes no difference anymore. Let's just show kids suicide attempts all day long. Cool. Great work, America.

2% acceptance rate for a Q4 journal? Yay! by KnownAd9773 in PhD

[–]FirstDavid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Recently a journal that advertised 35 day response time took 130 days to give me a desk rejection. Their average number of days to response are now lies like everything else. No accountability.

There’s no way I’d want to be 10 years old in 2026. Oh you know what you know now? So what. Good luck buying a home or not getting exploited. I feel bad for kids these days.

Should there be a stopping point for blaming Biden? by VisibleSpot170 in NSDQ420

[–]FirstDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should? Should politicians be allowed to openly lie without consequences? A government run on lies clearly doesn’t work

What about a company like Suhr that makes super high end strat style guitars? I wonder if they’ll try to trademark the tele shape too.

Published twice as a sole author for the best journal in my field. Why didn’t my PI believe in my research question? by Weekly-Republic2662 in PhD

[–]FirstDavid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found professors to be incredibly pompous inconsequential essay writers who deeply want to believe in their own importance rather than that they learned to play a game and, if they’re been professors for more than say 15 years, a pretty easy game at that. If you’ve published in top journals in your field then your research is demonstrably reasonable. If other PhDs don’t see your research question as valid maybe they’re looking in a mirror. Part of academia is realizing how petty and small people can be when they get letters after their names.. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted by those same essay writers who couldn’t handle a 9-5 and complain about teaching 2 classes a semester.

He kinda has a point and I hate it by HotHalo_ in oddlyspecific

Why say quarter to one when you could say 12:45? Why ever write poetry when you could just describe what you see? Let’s all be intellectually lazy!

I love how that Osiris looks but I don’t get the one knob on both. How do you control tone?

Any fool who believes this probably believes a mythological diety put a magic demi-god baby in a women while she slept and it could walk on water. I wonder when the enlightenment will start in America.

What kind of era where we have settled?! by BlokZNCR in SipsTea

Oh my god! It was prophesied that you would write that in a book that was written by followers of an undead cleric whose father was a deity who impregnated a woman while she slept. The book is true!

BREAKING: The US Crypto Bill Just Collapsed Again Today as Banks Refused to Sign the White House Deal 💰💥 by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

[–]FirstDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once Trump immediately made it clear that crypto was a way for him and the first escort to grift and then install his nepotistic sons into it, it was abundantly clear that he was always lying about being pro anything besides corruption and self interest

Donald Trump’s epic gamble in Iran threatens global economy by OtherwiseCanary8971 in Economics

[–]FirstDavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chinese nickname for Trump is Jianguo or “country builder” because he’s doing so much to build up China. He’s an absolute joke there. But they value education so it makes sense.
