I ' m 21 and I want to cry . <| sep |> Not sure , I just remember there was a big fuzz about it when it happened . I just uninstalled it and forgot about it , kinda like what happened with Quickpic . <| sep |> Don ' t think you need to worry about it , it ' s if you are on mobile and it ' s a post and their first post with no comments , you don ' t see their flair . So if they comment on a post or anything on SST you can see their flair , but since it ' s his first post and he doesn ' t have any comments on mobile you can ' t see his flair until he has commented . <| sep |> They probably assumed she was older when they saw her hairline . <| sep |> No , it should be you , the Godfather of the sub . <| sep |> There ' s a nice bit of irony that illustrates one point I ' d like to make in a post complaining about scientists using more than the minimum jargon required , you use incredibly esoteric programming language like Rant and crypting . To you these are obvious and known qualities which convey the point you ' re trying to make in the manner you wish to make it , using terminology you ' re familiar with . The same is true for scientific papers there is nuance in the jargon that someone skilled in the art will appreciate it , which is who the paper has to be written for , otherwise all articles would need to be ten times longer and research grants would go to waste turning all scientists into public educators . Making scientific information accessible to the general public is an important goal , but removing the ability of scientists to relay their data i . e . letting the expert who did the thing tell the world how they did it hardly strikes me as the best way to go about it . I think you ' re forgetting another important point , that many of the papers will not have been written by native speakers of English . Much of what you perceive as people just trying to sound smart for the sake of it can probably be attributed to the idiosyncrasies of people writing technical documents in their second or third language .
