It biases them towards catering to public demand instead of being a neutral arbiter of justice.

But they’re biased anyway, towards whoever has the power to take away their job. They’re never neutral arbiters of justice.

a pleasant discussion

About what?

I thought you were legitimately confused

I’m just curious: if I had been confused, what were you expecting would have happen if you simply repeated what the article had already stated without adding anything?

in their own field there’s a good chance they have something useful to say

Pity this press release wasn’t one of them.

You’re just repeating the article. Nothing you said contradicts what I said.

It’s a HINT

What is?

“One could not be a successful scientist without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of scientists, a goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.” ― James D. Watson, The Double Helix

LOL yes I know thanks.

The number of kaon to pion and neutrino/antineutrino decays the team observed is higher than the 8.4 per 100 billion predicted by the Standard Model, but it’s still within the uncertainty parameters.

So then how the fuck does that hint at new physics? Idiots.

Terrible report, doesn’t even say the cause of death.

I think you’ve confused what “male gaze” refers to:

I don’t think I have. I think you might have misunderstood mine.

“We’ve realised we were mistaken in thinking other people care more about us than about themselves and we’ve deprioritised posting on the Internet in favour of dealing with the real world.”

Shady company

If you ask in earnest, you’ll get good responses.

This is not the case. Every time I’ve asked in earnest, I’ve faced mobs of lunatics.

Do they genuinely believe the shit they’re peddling or are they paid propagandists or is their something more nefarious afoot.

From my interactions, I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re mostly seriously broken people who’ve discovered Marx, convinced themselves that capitalism is the cause of all suffering and believe socialism is the solution that will free them from their trauma. The degree of their attachment to socialism is a reflection of the degree of their suffering and brokenness.

If they weren’t so toxic, they’d be deserving of compassion and forebearance.

Git is not the best DVCS

What would you suggest is a better DVCS than git?

In this context, the word “dictatorship” means something very different to what it means in general usage referring to the governance of nation states. OP’s comment seems like a silly effort to try and shoe-horn their favourite political subject into a thread where the subject doesn’t fit.

we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else

Why should we?

Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don’t align with yours!

Actually it does. Just like IRC, the fediverse is not a democracy, it’s a dictatorship. As a user, you have no rights at all. You’re offered the privilege of being permitted to connect and participate. Don’t like it? Nobody cares. Go start your own server/network/whatever.
