  • Yeah, my position as a biologist is that, from everything we know, it looks like proto-life started pretty much as soon as conditions on earth made it possible. The chance that there's no other life in the universe is pretty much just the chance that there are no planets substantially similar to earth (gravity not too crazy, has liquid water, atmosphere, magnetosphere etc) and that's obviously bunk.

  • There's no way to just use university computing resources to do the things that require a windows install? I didn't even own a computer for the first couple of years of my degree (20/21) and just used the resources at school, but my degree is in biology so obviously not quite the same;)

  • While this is all good stuff, point 9 stands out while reading the op. OP, even if you can't bring yourself to stop with the self-hatred (I get it; I am literally the only person in the world who I genuinely, deeply loathe on a personal level, and even in my 40s and with some objectively fairly impressive achievements under my belt, I can't let that go) at least stop calling yourself a "bitch" and other things like that. Not an easy habit to break if it's part of your internal monologue, but I bet it's easier than changing the way you feel about yourself - and at least you won't be telling yourself you're right to feel that way. Which you almost certainly are not, any more than I am. (Which I'm not, even if I can't seem to shake it off!)

  • Of course nothing exists without criticism being possible, that's literally just what I said. But plenty of people support things and/or people while being unwilling to offer any criticism. "Blue no matter who" is an example of uncritical support. There's a line over which they would withdraw their support but they're fundamentally incapable of offering support and criticism. Notice how they respond when people actually try? Chappell Roan was crucified by liberals for saying she would vote Dem (ie, material support for the Dems), but wouldn't endorse them. Critical support. If you support china the way bnmh liberals support Hillary or Maga chuds support Trump, then I suggest you really aren't attuned to the positions people tend to take here.

    I assume this comment was about hexbear, I get some bangers in the front page quote but I think this is the best it will get
