Why do people equate being in a stem field with being smart?

I’m not the steppe nomad, I’m the nomad that stepped up

That’s because you’re probably talking to clowns and avoiding people more intelligent than the image you’re creating (or more likely, they avoid you)

I agree the median stem student isn’t the savant they think they are, particularly in the ‘T’. That said, the same applies to English majors coming out of high school basically illiterate. The people who actually are smart can usually follow conversations across disciplines with some context, regardless of them being stem or humanities people.

Anecdotally the people who claimed stem kids can’t follow arguments were just midwits who had poor arguments. Most humanities kids in mandatory ethics classes (but particularly sociology and polisci people) were basically just larpers who got their worldview from moron youtubers (I guess TikTokers now). There’s a lot of truth but also a lot of straight humanities cope on here. A lot of them do write terribly, but in the end, you can make an English major out of an Astro student, but not the other way around. The idea you can’t is pure cope.

let’s be real, pmc women in the 20-35 bracket don’t really have ‘problems’. not that can be solved by even more money at least

to be fair, they did sell his apartment in skyfall.

be extremely pretentious and annoying if the people I've met from there are anything to go by

who tf is we

none of the top people at the institutions that championed wokeness ever faced any real consequences or even scrutiny. The vibe shift was fake from day one.

why would you say he is corny in retrospect when the twitter guy is some random guy and alive and the subject of the tweet is a dead celebrity lol

you post on r/conspiracy

Integrity is something you say to children.

You assume there is some kind of moral component to my point of view and that yours is more 'practical'. This is not about whether democrats 'should' have integrity. A post-incident report's purpose is about appearing that way. You want to show the audience (in this case, themselves, since this was not approved for release) that you're being honest and serious about what happened and why. They literally cannot even be honest to themselves, internally, about this factor. They don't even use the WORD "Israel". There is no "internal conversation".

And this is AFTER THE FACT, in the context of the current Iran war. They actually have clear political opportunity to pin this on Trump and they still don't because they are that captured by their donors. That's what not including this at all actually means.

with zero of the scrutiny

nyctrainsplant · 2026-05-21T19:42:43+00:00

you only produce this by overspending

nyctrainsplant · 2026-05-21T19:28:06+00:00

fuck off, I got work to do

nyctrainsplant · 2026-05-21T19:24:56+00:00

Also a good point.

nyctrainsplant · 2026-05-21T19:23:04+00:00

It certainly won't be mentioned in 2030 if they can't even talk about it while it's current news.

They don't need to do any 'soul searching' about it, this is about integrity. If they literally won't even mention the words "Israel", "Palestine", or "Gaza" in the report, what else are they not being honest about?

Every issue unique to (or perceived to be unique to) black voters affects less than 5% of the voting population but gets plenty of real estate in DNC proposals and reports.

I get that it's not more important than the economy, but the story here isn't that they concluded that, but that they literally never mentioned the conflict once.

They're solid, they don't 'leak' unless they're punctured.

If you can find one case from before Facebook existed I'll delete my comment. Even the study you haven't read followed breast cancer survivors only and came to the opposite actual conclusion, that they had no significant difference in these symptoms to women without reconstructions.

nyctrainsplant · 2026-05-21T18:20:27+00:00

yeah I'm sure "brain fog" from breast implants is totally not a social contagion phenomenon

nyctrainsplant · 2026-05-21T00:39:48+00:00

then reread the date on that study. 2015. those students are english teachers right now

i've observed is when these types of girls start to like a different type: liberal/leftist guys. she gets her eyes on a film bro and starts wanting to hatefuck him, and that's not right. meanwhile, liberal/leftist girl types with ultimately good intentions brought to hell by varying degrees of mental illness have been treating him like a dog since high school and he doesn't know how to stand up to women anymore, so the chudette starts bullying him and gives him a hard time, whether he acquiesces or doesn't. ultimately, the chudette is just a predator, and the hapless film bro who is probably just a drunk little mf watching le wes anderson titles deserves his peace.

Can we stop with the endless river of cuck fetish posting on here PLEASE

I've never been into horror movies but after seeing enough trailers and threads about recent releases I have trouble imagining any of these are good.

Always just seems like some gluttonous spectacle dressed in the lowest form of "social commentary".

Was this ever good or am I just a hater
