“To shoehorn something” is a literal common expression in Spanish, lately often used to indicate a deliberated misdirection of a debate into a different argument at the minimum occasion (usually via any fallacy)… and there are even shoehorns literally with long sticks for the elders…

Look what you make me do to you

Are these ridiculous attempts to humanise someone that lives in his own planet still working? They look quasi medieval to me…

The main CO2 sink are oceans though… the corpus seems to mention this but only conjetures that oceans may giving signs without too much developing

Current reddit is not like “reddit” anymore for a while… nothing is forever

The importance of basic research…

For USA (and most of western countries) I have the prejudice that are effective plutocracies (where wealth is not only liquid money in the bank) disguised of democracies, the more is only dual the polarisation the higher the control of the wealthy

They predict, not reason…

A 2 party system is half away from fascism where one only party exists…

An Austrian kept on this kind of “flight forward”s in Europe less than a century ago… it did not end well for millions

Not from that field, and I think it depends a lot of the field, country, etc, but research is not an idilic world at all and deal with huge flaws from the real world, institutions, society and economics, not aside of human being’s flaws, so it can be deeply disappointing in some aspects. I believe is a natural in any guild (there is shit everywhere, e.g. police require internal affairs for a good reason, but not only, they suffer from funding restrictions, metrics for promotion, etc, and the same can be said for medicine, politics, etc) so in the end it may be your ability to deal with real world shit… and luck.

I think that in average is lack of empathy or just lack of interest in the listener, i.e. the speaker just wants to speak out a speech, not to effectively communicate something: if I want to share something with someone I cannot avoid to rely on the listener’s feedback to guide my speech, regardless of the specialisation level of the topic.

That’s a bidet shower, not a bidet, I fear the day the latter is forgotten in favour of the former… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet
