And? Seems like your definition and this community’s definition of “science memes” differ. Who cares. What are we even arguing about?

My dude, it’s right there in the description

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Honestly, I have no idea what you are trying to argue

Yeah, that is why it was justified to shoot protesters

If that’s what you think I’m suggesting, you need to work on your reading comprehension.

[…]

Are you suggesting it would have been better to just let the fascists seize power?

…

And this burden of proof is on the accuser.

I don’t doubt the stories, but a court would see it in a different way for a good reason. It’s hard to find a solution between slander and rightfully calling someone out.

I can recommend looking into “science days” and stuff like that. It makes you a lot more hopeful for the future to see a lot of curious, open-minded 12-year olds.

And then they likely become the usual cynic adults, but hey, you tried.

Thanks. I only heard about Delft from a woman studying there, and didn’t hear any complaints. I guess PhD students cannot run as easily, so they get the short end :(

Actually, I was loosely considering applying there, this made sure I won’t. That stuff needs to be made more public, so that their reputation noticeably suffers. Only then will people care to enact change.

I don’t think so. Academia is still a pyramid system, and a lot of people want a post-doc or not burn bridges

You are on sciencememes, and this is a meme about academia?

Yeah, that is why it was justified to shoot protesters. Because of what might have happened. The people are clearly misguided, we need to roll over them with tanks to prove we are the true proletariat. A lot of governments built monuments to Nazi collaborteurs. That doesn’t mean jack shit. Hitler was vegetarian and against animal abuse.

They are not, which is why they charge them upfront. But people with a residence permit or citizenship are much more likely to stay long-term.

I have no strong opinion whether that is the right choice, tbh. I see it at my Uni, a lot of foreign students study here and the majority then leaves the country again. Which is fair, but the idea of tax-funded education is, well, it’s tax-funded, so I am more or less directly paying for their education. Is that good/bad/worth it or not? I’m not sure.

Also, I feel like the majority of foreign students that come here just for a degree are already from wealthy backgrounds. I know I’m on dangerous “feelings, not facts” territory, but I get a lot of “rich kid who didn’t get into a good uni in their home country” vibes. The poorer foreign students are usually super smart and got in via a scholarship or the likes.

how it punishes gender non-conformity

Fit the mold or die. Always the same.

I’m curious there, too.

To be fair, I see the argument. It is tax-paid, so you want to reserve it for people who are likely to pay future taxes.
