I’ve seen some really good papers in MDPI which challenge the consensus in different fields and I’m assuming aren’t published in bigger journals because colleagues are stuck in their own ways and disagree with the premise of the paper.

But these papers are vastly outnumbered by a mix of low quality papers and obvious corporate sponsored or “self-promotion of my new vitamin” type papers.

So does homelessness. And so does Prison.

Mostly it’s seen as low quality no?

The vibe I got was that they’d basically accept anything in return for money.

Not on voyager

As you might have noticed people on lemmy are opinionated and idealistic.

I recommend lemmy.cafe to two different people and got the exact same “ewww crypto” response.

A lot of people seem taken aback because the local feed is full of crypto stuff. But I imagine this has little to do with the admin and someone just started a crypto community there. Lemmy.cafe being a tiny instance, it then dominates local.

I tried to make a quokk account but never got accepted.

I wish there was a bigger instance with downvotes disabled that blocks the big 3

Sounds like the person who wrote the TOS was all over the place. Likely it’s AI generated.

Loops is currently a one man operation and I imagine TOS was the last thing they were worried about.

3 years is absolutely nothing in stock market terms. Check in a decade.

Also you should really just invest in a super broad index fund instead of your specific tech and healthcare and stuff.

If you had only invested in a broad stock wide index fund, your 15k would be 17k right now. A total market index fund minimises risk nicely.

Honestly. I think we should stop treating Selzer like she’s a palm reader.

Her polls have been historically accurate. But there’s still a large margin of error. Another high quality pollster (Emerson) has Trump +9 in Iowa just yesterday. Likely it’ll be somewhere between the two.

Throw it in the average.

In France we get an anonymous code and we can plug it into a website and it tells us if our ballot was counted or not, and if it wasn’t counted why. (markings on ballott, multiple candidates selected for one spot, etc.)

People on lemmy downvote anything it’s actually really harmful to the user experience.

Like a completely harmless post into a niche hobbyist community is often downvoted because a couple people on all decided to downvote it for no apparent reason.

Bluesky started off as mainly a community of comic artists.

Mastodon seems more heavy on “furry” stuff.

Maybe they are trying to get enough hype so it doesn’t end up being completely that way.

Yeah. I think the show really helped me. And it’s a really fucking good illustrations of how things don’t work linearly at all.

I mean there were multiple inspirations. But that’s what inspired Bojack and his family specifically.

The tankies are the “left-wing” equivalent of these people. All in all they are eerily similar. They both support different forms of facism.

Thanks. I’ll look into lineage and graphene.

Thanks for telling me about sideloading. I’m now a IOS pirate, until I buy a new phone atleast because my battery doesnt last an hour lol

Yes. Due to disability I’m unable to use a computer anymore, so I’d like to torrent onto my phone.
