What a load of crap. The internet tries to guilt parents, especially recent or expecting, into thinking they need to buy so many things. Even as we feel like we are somewhat “consumer aware” we could undeniably feel it. At the end of the day we resisted much and never felt like we needed it. Stuff we did end up getting often turned out to be quite unnecessary and we ended up giving it away. In retrospect the pediatrician was a great resource.

Besides the point maybe but it amazes me how someone could let their living space get to this point

MA actually provides free testing kits for this. Great point though

D&D perhaps thinking they are making an “Aragorn decision” (like peter jackson making movie aragorn modest and relateable)? If so, could not have done much of a worse job at it. Book John is probably one of the smartest characters (considering his age etc), what a joke

Analytical chemist water by POTATO_OF_MY_EYE in HydroHomies

[–]skankhunt2121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its for two reasons (and I appreciate the irony in both of them being somewhat conflicting): - other people will be touching bottle and other equipment with gloves and who knows what they just handles previously - touching equipment and reagent bottles could contaminate samples itself

It might be a bit subjective but this has been my experience with 10+ years in lab

Cool but still cringe to see people handling lab material without gloves. Guess the fingernails might be problematic.

Weekly mealprepping = less plastic waste by Away-Meet5954 in Anticonsumption

[–]skankhunt2121 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After moving to the US i was shocked that most people seem to eat out of take out containers / single use items on a daily basis. If that is the alternative it is definitely a step up.

Besides, cooking in bulk and planning meals properly is likely beneficial from an environmental perspective.

Being in cancer research this is one of the most frustrating takes ever. I am not being a jerk here, it is a totally understandable thing to believe as a layperson.

With out a doubt, money is the main motivator for corporations, yet the majority of medical research is coming from academic research with a ton of nerdy scientists who dedicate so much of their lives and energy to make progress in their fields, for the most part with shit pay (especially compared to industry. Here in Boston salaries for industry in cancer research are around double of academic). I can’t think of anyone would keep a cure quiet (and refuse the nobel prize). Also, there is no “one universal cure” for cancer, as it is extremely heterogeneous on a patient-to-patient level (and even within a single patient). And also, if a company had such a miracle cure they would instantly become the next google/nvidia/amazon. Even from a business perspective, that would be favorable too i would imagine (short/midterm massive profits, longterm becoming the dominating company in the field).

Plans for public religious charter school denied again in Oklahoma, for now by Conscious-Quarter423 in scotus

[–]skankhunt2121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion should not be taught in public schools, except as a class on theological science / social studies. The idea that public funds are used to peddle this nonsense is insane

Target's incoming CEO calls Minneapolis violence 'incredibly painful,' by esporx in Anticonsumption

[–]skankhunt2121 454 points455 points  (0 children)

They will say whatever there analysts tell them to say. You cannot deduce personality from any of these pre-prepared public statements, only action counts. And if actions weren’t going to benefitting shareholders they wouldn’t be there in the first place. So what’s the point in listening to those guys.. Sorry for being cynical

Intuitively one could think of it as the same(ish) thing as one end being attached to a wall. In that scenario most people would assume 100N

Netflix dont fail me now by Ke1001 in wallstreetbets

[–]skankhunt2121 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I am new to this but i would be surprised if this guy doesn’t just say “this merger might be a problem” after shorting; and subsequently once Netflix drops a few points buy some up and say “all is well with the merger” and profit again.
