That ' s what I ' m saying . Overrated <| sep |> Someone please edit Hillary barking into the clip where he says I hope its not a vicious dog and opens the door <| sep |> Their fishes got ducked <| sep |> I ' m keen for the sunset <| sep |> People ? You mean women . <| sep |> I obviously have no issue gripping the gun <| sep |> Where the fuck is the volume button ! ?!? Every dann time . <| sep |> with many players from other states <| sep |> No no , back when several democratic candidates were competing for their party ' s nomination <| sep |> I absolutely needed this today . As always , thank you PhillyD and the Nation for the positive twist on this crazyass world . 3 <| sep |> People vastly overestimate the degree of influence that corporate influence actually has on science or academics in general . In large part because most academics aren ' t suicidal enough to commit seppuku by falsifying or fudging data for monetary gain sure , it happens , but it ' s rather rare , and it ' s almost always torn to absolute shreds by the peer review process , let alone the subsequent replication and falsification process . Credibility is the most important capital in science , Frankly , I don ' t think academics are going to be greatly affected by this they don ' t give a single flying flip about the gentle feelings of people who are hurt by the fact that reality doesn ' t coincide with their personal ideologies . The only real foreseeable problem that I see is government trying to play fast and loose with research grants , but even then that ' s pretty difficult to do . Historically speaking , science and academia survive even the stupidest , most antiintellectual democratic regimes it isn ' t until they start legislating away their ability to actually do their work that it becomes a sizable problem , and I sincerely doubt that ' s going to happen because the supreme court is a thing , and they don ' t like it when you pull off fuckery like that . The big problem I foresee in the nearfuture is going to be the painfully tedious task of banging your head against a wall when you try to basic concepts to someone and they refuse to learn and listen to facts because they think they know better .
