They call it that to placate the masses

Calling wheat, corn, and sugar vegetables is a disingenuous stretch

Liberals are still capitalists

Because in a capitalist society, capital owners are in control

No, it definitely invalidates that conclusion

The dystopia already exists, you just happen to be one of the lucky ones that it isn't impacting as much

But then that means the analysis isn't correct, it wouldn't be an indicator at all

The goal of a PhD education is to learn how to do research, first and foremost. That is the entire point of a PhD

If you want to do anything else just get a masters

I don't know, can the admins stay afloat without making 200k+ per year? Maybe give some of that to us grad students

Honestly I would be happy if I just got paid as a 100% FTE. I'm literally in the lab all the time, this 50% nonsense is BS. They say it's because international students are restricted to 20 hours per week, so okay just double the pay then and still call it 50%. The salary for my current work is super low anyhow, I'd be making way more if I got a job at big pharma with my current degrees

In my PhD program I don't see that at all, in fact our program recently paid for students to attend a multiple day seminar about how to get jobs outside academia. I'm not sure where you get that impression from

You make it sound like that role is predefined by just body type and mind type, it totally ignores environment

None of your statements disagree with the comment that you're replying to. All of those situations are ones in which people are nakedly demanding compliance

Cavemen in India came up with phrenology?

Sounds like we should be updating criteria then

No, what they actually are is a mouthpiece for corporations and capital owners. Just like every other major media company out there. The government is also a mouthpiece for capital owners and corporations which is why you might think that

Okay but your ideal scenario is not our current reality

From what I remember there were warnings that went entirely ignored, just like with most of the mass shooters we've been seeing

So no, these surveillance capabilities actually don't help at all

Hyperbole and tyranny make great friends

Well I'm definitely not surprised. Give law enforcement any sort of surveillance powers like that and of course they're going to abuse the shit out of it. They literally have zero oversight whatsoever

And they say it has "now been scaled back"

Color me skeptical

Our experience exists on a series of spectrums, some people experience pleasure way too intensely and it actually causes problems which is why this might be a good thing

Obviously there are people who like the pleasure given to them by food a bit too much and they consistently overindulge, it can be that way for many things as well. I'm not saying that the cause is always related but for many it may be

That's where a ton of the pollution comes from as well, the tires break down and fill the air with particulate. Road and brake particles as well

Before gentoo I would sometimes wipe the os and start over but no more. Now I can fix anything

I feel like the custom compilation is the point

Honestly it's the sleekest OS I've ever worked with, it has exactly what I want and nothing I don't. Sure if I forget to upgrade for a while it's a headache sometimes but I've learned such an insane amount about Linux it's a clearly winning tradeoff. That's on top of being absurdly lightweight, fast booting, and super customizable.

What does that have to do with this?

Walking away from a project of yours is a failure, it's a failure when you decide something isn't worth pursuing. Not to mention I can say I'm "not interested" in pursuing something I know I won't work

You can buy mustard oil but without the same erucic acid content. Also ghee is definitely available at the Indian shops I've been to? Not sure where you're getting your info from

How about hyperloop, for example

It doesn't chop text content into bits and reproduce it, that's absurd. It's a text prediction engine, it predicts what tokens come next based on some context
