2021-10-01 at 11:40 PM UTC in having a teenage shag shackYou wouldn't get mad at the carpenter though because there's no status envy. Carpenters are low status. Carpenters joking about their tools in a way you might not understand breeds no enmity. Scientists though? High status. It irks you because it reminds you that you're (relatively) low status.

It's all not some sort of optional step, it's not some edgy bullshit, it's basic protocol. Prove your assertions, prove your logic, or stop wasting our scarce time.
But these formulae are just tools. It's like getting mad at a carpenter wearing a shirt like this:
Because it doesn't explain what the hammers and nails are for. Like, they're for joining wood. You don't actually need to know that. You just need to know what a hammer is, and what nails are. And if you don't? I can see why you'd get upset, that's pretty embarrassing, but it's definitely a failing on your end no matter how much you protest. And ultimately, the failing is meaningless. All that happens if you don't understand this shirt is that you don't understand this shirt. Maybe scientists should be less opaque generally, but it's a fucking shirt. -

Originally posted by Donald Trump Who the fuck remembers the ideal gas law? Much less actually uses it?
So basically the joke is M.I.T. So mass by imaginary number by the temperature, without any of those terms or the terms leading up to their derivation being defined at all.
There's not even a marker between each term. It's all just so annoying.
My job right now is mostly making other people's work accessible to others.
OK, you went to MIT, and you don't feel like explaining your work to the rest of us. So you are overpaid, so either do a training session to explain your shit or fuck off.
Hahaha, I mean... that's the thing, right? Students at MIT probably remember/have an intuitive understanding of mass energy equivalency, imaginary numbers, and ideal gas law. Because they're using those in class. Because they're scientists-to-be/smart people. To them, this is an in-joke. It's only when we stupids start repeating their very genuinely smart person in-jokes as some kind of intellect-based cargo cult that it becomes pseudo. 🤔 -

Originally posted by Donald Trump Yeah I agree.
The way some people assume "well, you should know what n is, you should know what P is, you should know what E is", etc, is shitty and pseudo intellectual as fuck. All those things mean different things depending on the context, those are all context dependent. "Oh, but muh R can only mean one thing" no it can't. R isn't a fucking thing. All physics forumulas should define terms underneath, that they don't is only due to sheer laziness and sloppiness.
The person wearing the shirt is definitely signaling intellect, and a t-shirt isn't a particularly costly signal so... yeah. Odds are not great that the person wearing it is actually an intellectual.
I don't think it's particularly pseudointellectual conceptually though. Like, the guy who came up with the joke probably wasn't pseudo. And if the person on the receiving end of that signal understands the shirt without having "cheated" like we did, that's a very costly (in terms of time investment/familiarity with the subject matter) display of genuine intellect. Any idiot can wear the shirt, but it's likely only an intellectual is going to read "PV/nR" as "T". -

Originally posted by Donald Trump Try solving it as three different letters. Makes sense, sort of. Meh, not really. Sorta pseud.
I think the idea here is that the intended audience is not going to try solving it, they're just going to instantly recognize the constituent formulae and the values they represent and get the joke. It's probably only brainlets like us who see that and immediately think it's some inscrutable formula that one is intended to solve. -

Might have to custom build your cinderblock crushing hand, now that I think about it. Big Prosthetic doesn't want their customers becoming too powerful. Shouldn't be too hard to rig some hydraulics up though... -

Maybe it's my fucked up Y chromosome talking but like, c'mon, hydro. You could get a cyberhand with grip strength capable of crushing cinderblocks. Metal > meat. -

Originally posted by RIPtotse And if you use coke or meth or something like that then you are just a fucking fool because there is literally no physical addiction with these it’s all mental
For fucke sake I would have absolutely loved to be able to just sleep for a week and be clean like meth heads and not have to deal with vomiting and diarrhea and restless legs and everything else for weeks
Tweakers and cokeheads break their brains. "It's just mental"... niggaaaaa the mental effects are rooted in the physical. I don't mean cravings. I mean shit like the lasting inability to feel love and happiness, gradually getting better over years. That kind of psychospiritual brutality is the shit gods dole out as punishment in fables. Christ there's nothing worse than former and recovering opiate addicts. All of you niggas think you've overcome the greatest hurdle a human being can encounter. Get over yourselves. You shit yourself for a whole 3 weeks and everything sucked and then you were back to normal. Wow. Impressive. Your ability to deal with *checks notes* temporary physical discomfort? It's truly astonishing. Want a medal? Definitely the kind of experience worth finding Jesus over.

2021-09-27 at 10:40 PM UTC in Amputation: dominate arm above elbowDefinitely do it. For your health, sure. But do it for the cyberpunk aesthetic if nothing else. Nothing more rad than someone with a robotic arm. Cyborgs are cool as fuck.
