@jormigaso hey man I read your comment but completely forgot to respond with everything I had going on yesterday, I'll respond when I can today

@hannulv I know pre-nuptual agreements aren't 100% foolproof in today's female-centric court climate, but I will never understand why men get married without getting one.

Marriage is allegedly for life, it makes absolutely no sense to protect oneself in case it doesn't work out

@deeplydisturbed she'll still think she needs a few pumps on the Carousel before someone mans up and dates her for life

@Vermillion-Rx I'm not hopeful. Things that were commonly known about the ineffectiveness of paper or cloth masks are now "anti-science" and I'm not hearing doctors speak out against it. Most doctor's offices I've been to are enforcing the mask rule.

@slutmagazine I'm hoping I understood the question correctly

I would say a 99.9% chance they blindly accept it no questions asked. Why?

Researchers slant like 90%+ in one ideological direction. The amount of ideological confirmation bias I have seen in just the psych field is astounding. It's probably similarly bad in the medical field

For example, the few times I've made a scientifically sound counter argument that happened to be heresy to a certain political ideology, I've been sandbagged by my peers

It's basically religious zealotry at this point under the pretense of being science. You can't make any points that are counter to an existing political narrative at certain institutions

I don't think people realize how fucked it is on the research side

@jprdl definitely, my state's governor already mentioned that unvaccinated will be moved out of care if a vaccinated patient needs to be seen at the hospital

The thing is, I think the people that see through this are actually a majority, but that of that majority, only a small minorities willing to publicly stand up to it

I fall under that part of the majority that can't publicly say my views. My educational field would likely deny me opportunities if I were vocal.

I already had to lie about my unvaccinated status as is and I constantly skirt around it when the topic comes up, so I do believe there is a majority that doesn't buy into it but feels compelled to stay quitely opposed to one degree or another

@jprdl fully agreed

I'm astonished how many brilliant, intelligent people have eaten up that logic like it was their last meal

I have no idea how the "peace of mind" or "wanting to travel" outweighs the utter fuckery they've allowed governments to carry out in broad daylight

I strongly think that in a society where most men weren't hapless soy boys and nu males this wouldn't be happening

@Dr_Cockasaurus I seriously wonder if this trend of women invading male professions will reverse at some point.

Like at some point will they end up telling their own daughters that they regretted going into these fields and we'll see a later generation go back to more traditional female jobs?

Surely a lot of these women do not genuinely enjoy the fields they are being pigeon-holed into. Or is my assumption that they couldn't genuinely enjoy traditionally male jobs en masse wrong?

@CrispyCruiser it's all good man. I just thought it was interesting that your advice was similar to what we had been saying all along. I get what you mean though.

Though I don't think most nexts in advice are implied to be "hard nexts", it's usually default implied to be soft or temporary while you regain frame, such as the advice you gave

@CrispyCruiser didn't you shit on half of us and the forum in general for giving similar advice to cut contact with girls when they act like this? I agree with your advice completely here, but the irony is palpable
