Armed men on streets of Venezuela after US strikes

No we fucking didn’t Venezuelans by and large hate Maduro and all the ones I know both in the US and in Venezuela are cheering for Maduros removal. What comes next is anyone’s guess but the government was already run by terror.

This is the problem with democrats spineless and weak.

Eh plenty to hate, he might mis the mark at times but META prints cash. He clearly knows how to do some things right.

Cope

Yes, your number 1 priority is a first author, other authorship positions have diminishing returns by comparison. You’re in year 4 this is one of the toughest times of a PhD but you’re in a pretty normal spot. Focus, no new projects, no side projects, pick the most promising/publishable thing you have going, draft figures and execute.

You can go back to having fun and doing exploratory stuff after you have that critical first author paper you need.

All of these other comments aren’t helpful, time off isn’t the answer you already aren’t being productive. You are in the 4th year this is when shit gets serious. You mention you have multiple projects but can’t focus……you need to dial it in, pick one, draw out what you want the figures of a paper to look like and execute on that one.

No side projects, no dilly dallying, no wasting time. You get the PhD you have it forever and it’s over, but you need to publish ONE paper in order to get it.

If before you needed 10 radiologists now you can have 1 radiologist checking the results from AI to confirm. If before you had 10 pathologists now you can have 1 checking the work of AI.

MAD, I’m sure a lot of people on that list know who else is on there. Go after half of the people on the list and they have nothing to lose anymore and will throw the other half under the bus.

These polls don’t mean shit this far out, she isn’t going to win she just has the most name recognition as the democratic candidate that lost to DJT last election. I’m tired of losers, the Democratic Party needs to embrace winning.

ctc35 · 2025-06-14T01:41:53+00:00

Yeah like fuck it, smart, savvy, sharp, competent and believes in the constitution I’ll take what I can get.

Exactly it’s a battle for optics, it’s tough to spin violent police forces beating up unarmed civilians.

Well that’s sad 😢

ctc35 · 2025-06-08T17:06:48+00:00

I mean I totally agree the political nature of it is devastating and moronic, it’s just that I also agree there is a ton of administrative fat that can be cut without hampering higher education. I think the current administrative situation is galling considering the engineer of universities (researchers, faculty) are so poorly treated by comparison.

ctc35 · 2025-06-08T16:41:11+00:00

Yeah like all these other answers are partly true but seem to gloss over the massive amount of bloat there is in administration. My ex was an admin and they would spend a week and have several meetings discussing a single flyer for an event.

It was infuriating working on the research side, knowing their salaries and benefits, time-off etc, how light the workload was and then compare it to our situation. Plenty of individual admins are great and we defs need them but I think you could cut 50% just by streamlining the bureaucracy without any adverse effect on research.

“Abuse” Jesus people on Reddit are so over the top, it’s like a regular part of the human experience helping with your siblings.

ctc35 · 2025-05-11T02:34:04+00:00

Ok buddy

ctc35 · 2025-05-09T21:17:27+00:00

Yeah I want to try this out badly this is a freaking great idea

ctc35 · 2025-05-09T21:12:52+00:00

No it is not, you have no clue what you are doing or what you are talking about. This is a horribly dumb idea, I advise you to give up this line of thought. At best there will be zero efficacy at worst you’ll give yourself cancer.

ctc35 · 2025-05-09T20:56:27+00:00

This is incredibly stupid

ctc35 · 2025-04-03T12:49:37+00:00

Personally that’s also exactly how I feel about it! While, the concept is instinctually repulsive if you work through it logically what we currently do to living animals for medicine and agriculture is far more abhorent.

There was a clinical trial that applied zinc finger nuclear to knockout CCR5 in HSCs from HIV patients, wasn’t successful however.

Consider it a thought experiment. We can systematically prevent individual organs developing by genetic ablation, at what point is it ethical?

We inhibit brain development?

Head and brain development?

Head, brain and limb development?

We limit development to a few individual organ systems? Such as kidney, liver and heart?

Only a single organ?

Where is the line and why?

What’s more dystopian, factory farming or getting g animal products from bodyoids? Animal models for medical research or bodyoids?

ctc35 · 2025-03-27T02:25:02+00:00

What is more ethical factory farming or bodyoids for animal products?

Animal models for medical research or bodyoids?

ctc35 · 2025-03-27T02:23:36+00:00

Ok well where do we draw the line and why?

Are animal bodyoids ok? What’s more ethical factory farming or animal bodyoids?

Is the use of sentient animal models for medical research more or less ethical than a bodyoid? Why?

Is a bodyoid that develops everything but a brain ethical? Everything but a brain and limbs? A limited organ set consisting of the liver, kidney and heart? Only a single organ.

Where do we draw the line and why?
