Peer review was disastrous for society. It was established since WW2 and our rate of technological progress and has plummeted since and academia became dogmatic. It’s literally just selecting for groupthink

Most surprising aspect of this is that she's white. I guess Jensen still has a bit of the 'ol snowfever in him.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is facing another affair scandal, according to The New York Times. The report names Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s Vice President of Healthcare, who joined the company in 2008. Five former Nvidia employees reportedly said the two had a romantic relationship.

Lotta zoomoids discovering CLAMP for the first time on my FYP over the past year or so. Embrace the cursed/doomed CLAMP romances. It's part of a balanced weeb diet.

Endwalker brought the worst kind of people into the raid scene for this game and it's basically irreversible now. We should have gatekept harder.
If anybody knows this "player" Juliana Faye, this is why people mainly hide their Tomestone Activity. So they can play like complete dogass dogshit, and then you can't find any of their "friends" that they like to troll like this with. They join my parties just to be a stupid retarded troll and play horribly. Their dogshit healing killed us at p5 Ultima repeater too. Because of this nuisance, I have decided to personally ban all WHM from DMU for the time being. All WHM are dogshit ass trolls like this person. #FFXIV #dmu #whm #whmistrash #whmisbanned #WHMsuck #PureHealerTrash #Hiddenlogs #YoShitHiddenBecauseYouAreAss

My most nuclear take for the sphere of xitter I live in is that, while I think American gaming is probably in the most dire state I've ever seen, people really understate just how shitty Japanese games have gotten as well this decade.

The long, horrible summer is finally over which means I can go back to PC gaming. Also I hit my 30 book goal on goodreads for this year so I don't feel as guilty.

Logged into my FFXIV account and discovered that I'd been removed from my FC for being gone a few months. I wasn't in it long but it's still a little bittersweet.

The alternative is that these turn into soft patronage positions which is what happened historically and is why so many of these offices are now elected
so many statewide offices should not be directly elected tbh. does the state inspector of mines in arizona have to be directly elected? most people dont know or care enough about half those positions to vote on them so it just becomes pure partisanship

??? TKaM isn't about a moral dilemma at all. It's an exploration of the complex realities of living in the American south during the Great Depression. Do you people even fucking read books
To Kill A Mockingbird absolutely IS the equivalent of romantasy in that it presents an impossibly easy moral dilemma that doesn’t challenge its audience at all while allowing them to feel superior to most of the characters in the novel

Americans fundamentally do not trust beautiful foreign women. You have to make them a little homely to keep the guard down. Jensen's love of leather jackets and his desire for mids are proof of his profound Americanization.
I don’t know what American aesthetic standards are like, but I know Taiwanese standards very well. This lady probably isn’t qualified to be the mistress of a billionaire worth $200 billion.

Yeah, a major shift needs to happen that gets fathers reading. I grew up reading fantasy and mil SF because my dad read fantasy and mil SF. Like at a certain point adult men need to start taking this shit seriously.
Sorry to disagree with many mutuals, but the idea that making books more boyish will make boys more bookish reminds me of similar efforts to get girls into video games by changing the protagonists or stories. There may be changes on the margins but the pattern will likely persist

I also think "YA" as it's currently conceptualized is kind of at a dead-end for boys. Around like age 10 or so, I stopped really wanting to read stories about boys my age. My favorite books were almost entirely about adult men doing cool adult things.
Every year we now do YA book gender discourse. While it's true that publishers abandoned boys, they also abandoned kids! Adults are 75% of YA readers. YA & fantasy both now serve to launder romance content to adult women, exploiting perceived social status deltas.

You guys have to be like 21 or something because I remember 2008 - pretty much every dem held on because the Bush admin was so toxic it sunk the party. That's gonna be 2028.
The 2028 house elections are gonna be so funny because there's gonna be so many random glup shitto dem incumbents trying to hold R+100000000 seats
