SHE NEVER QUITS!!!!

But on the other, we really need to do something about the perverse incentives in scientific publishing and in academia in general that fuel this.

The top journals only want huge flashy results. You could have the most elegant, well-crafted study imaginable but if it's not a "major advance" it's going to be a tough sell to the upper few tiers of journals. Then consider that number of papers in high-impact journals is a huge factor in deciding who gets tenure track jobs, and for a while now, the number of those jobs has been falling while the number of people competing for them goes up thanks to shifts in the way both universities and research labs operate.

Image two is of two simple emoji faces sobbing.

Image three is an alien plushie falling down the side of a bed while glowing. Hands reach after it and it is emitting various sparkles as it falls.

Image four is the same plushie now wearing an adventurer's backpack and holding a compass, walking around a cavernous area. Small bunnies made of dust litter the ground.

people who are straight: yeah I’m straight

Sakura thinks that her love is unrequited because she will never have the soul bond that either of them have with each other.

Naruto thinks that sasusaku are meant to be. Sasuke doesn’t see him romantically and hasn’t Sakura-chan loved Sasuke since they were twelve? There’s no room for him in this relationship.

Sasuke thinks that after everything that’s happened, the two of them are better off without him. They both have a close bond without any complications or past turmoil, while he went out of his way to ruin his relationship with both of them.

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.
