I’m a month into my new job. People seem to like and respect me which is great, although it’s always difficult reading people. I think I’m doing fairly well so far. Managed to intimidate the engineering lads with my academic background, which is a fantastic use of a physics PhD

Alternate universe where “foodie” has a similar connotation to “furry”. You go to your foodie convention and put on your food suit, commission art of your foodsona. Ice cream foodies get a bad rap because they’re really common, but really it’s the steak foodies you want to avoid

I don’t understand people being so incredibly proud of the prompts they use for AI art. It’s like proudly proclaiming that you have found the optimal settings for microwaving a burrito.

“PhD level intelligence” really shows that these people don’t understand anything about intelligence, work, and people in general. A PhD is a piece of work. It’s learning how to do research by doing research. What matters is the experience gained in doing it. It’s not a certificate for being smart

I don’t know, maybe I’m being harsh, but an intelligent man looking for a political career would not message teenage girls on the delete-the-evidence-photo-sharing app unless he had ulterior motives. So I guess he’s either dumb as bricks or a creep. Or both. This is about Seymour

“What we’re seeing here is an elite strategy that only the top speed runners will do: the orchidectomy skip. It’s a long and convoluted path that can cost a lot, but if you pull it off you can skip the antiandrogen mechanic for the rest of the run, which adds up in the long term”

Feels like the decision at election time for most western nations is ‘would you like things to get moderately worse, or a lot worse?’ and if you say ‘better’ you will be hounded by boring acolytes of the Moderately Worse Party (let’s be real they’re probably called Labour)

I accidentally let every circle of my life overlap on twitter back in 2016. I never really liked it but I keep doing the same thing. I don’t think the furries and the commies are put off by science but I still have no idea how professional contacts feel about the radical politics and fox girl shit
