What a dishonest bs. It's not the scientists who communicate these dumbed down "theories", it's journalists and trivial science books and shows.
Makes me loose all respect for the author.
At the university where I studied professors were constantly talking about what we don't know. Formulated every theory extremely carefully, there was no "it is like that". What kind of scientists is he talking about?
If you give cheaters too many chances, the other students will feel betrayed. And I guess rightly so.
It's not uncommon to get mails directly, or later in course evaluation, from students who complain about other students that didn't put in the work. I can only remember few cases where there were names involved. Typically it's some general complaint, but the frustration is obvious.
It sucks when you make an effort but witness other students cheating their way through the class. What are we supposed to tell them when the dishonest behaviour of other students doesn't cause any consequences?
I still remember when I first saw this on Reddit the name of ruawri (including the trans flag) was cut off and people were insulting her in the comments how she was self-absorbed, "character looks nothing like her", "she wishes she looked like that", "women always make themselves in video games", etc.
When it turns out she is trans now suddenly it's sweet and wholesome and got featured at Respectful Memes. People are hypocrites.
It is overrated. At least when they look at AI as some sort of brain crutch that redeems them from learning stuff.
My boss now believes he can "program too" because he let's ChatGPT write scripts for him that more often than not are poor bs.
He also enters chunks of our code into ChatGPT when we issue bugs or aren't finished with everything in 5 minutes as some kind of "Gotcha moment", ignoring that the solutions he then provides don't work.
Too many people see LLMs as authorities they just aren't....
Please, not this again.... Personally, I am a lot in favour of communism. But some people, especially US Americans, have a fundamentally wrong idea about the housing shown in the upper picture.
This is often neither cheap, nor does it reduce homelessness. And it's also not the goal of that kind of rental homes to reduce homelessness.
That is just normal homes of average people in many places.
It's not "cheap housing for everyone".
The number of comments posting a better solution is funny and somewhat concerning.
Melting is a physical process that changes the form and aggregation state of a thing, but it still remains that thing. Melted gold is still gold, for example.
Burning on the other hand is a chemical process that leads to new "things". The egg isn't longer an egg.
That our diet stems from mostly molecules described in organic chemistry can also be the direct result of the fact that there are vastly more molecules considered "organic": about 19 million are known and the number is growing!
While for anorganic compounds, there are only about 100,000.
The separation into organic and inorganic chemistry is really only done to make it easier to talk about broader subjects in science. We need and use obviously a lot of compounds that aren't carbon based large molecules.
You forgot sex workers, which is actually the most dangerous job.

Nice Game Bundles om Humble and Fanatical
(feddit.de)
Humble Bundle currently has a Bundle with 8 cozy Steam games
I never played "Here Comes Niko", so I do not have any experience with that game.
But all the other games in this bundle I played already and they are all great! Humble Bundle lately had a few bundles with mediocre and bad games imho, but this bundle is honestly a very good deal if you have the money to spare.
Especially "Witchy Life Story", "Assemble with care", "Alba a wildlife adventure" and "A Short Hike" are truly amazing imho.
There are also two coupons. I think it's kind of sad they started to add coupons to bundles, but Haven Park I recommend as well. Don't know the other one.
Remember that you can buy this bundle with friends and share the keys! ╰(▔∀▔)╯
If you need help in how the sharing or Humble Bundle in general works, please leave a comment so we can explain how it's done.
There is another bundle with cozy games, this one is on Fanatical. The Link to the bundle on Fanatical
Fanatical may seem a bit suspicious, but apparently it's an official reseller of keys. At least I couldn't find anything bad about the site and I've used it in the past with no problems. Again, these are keys for Steam.
"Them's Fightin' Herds" is a fighting game with ponies drawn by Lauren Faust!
"Floppy Knights" is a turn-based strategy game with cards and a lovely protagonist and story.
"Garden Story" is an action RPG with a cute story and art.
"Kitaria Fables" is a farming game with cute art and a bit of hack&slash. The only game of that type that you can play in Coop, as far as I know (but only on the same PC).
If you only want to buy the smallest tier, I'd personally ditch Kitaria Fables because it sadly is a bit buggy and grindy at times.
If you need a 5th game I'd recommend Wall World! It's not cozy but rather stressful. :P A great game regardless.
As someone who worked in IT support at a university and later as a sys admin: I believe MOST people (including young people) can not use the internet or a computer when it goes beyond installing and using a (popular) app from the App Store.
Many people can not, for example, look up a program via search engine, go to its website, find and click the correct download link and then install the program. Many people don’t even use websites anymore, they only use applications.
Their voices are missing online simply because they are basically tech illiterate. And I think that is a huge problem.

The Nova game siblings!
(store.steampowered.com)
Nova Lands has been released on Steam. It's a Sci-Fi builder with chill music and cute pixel style.
I played the prologue Emilia's Mission, which is sadly not available anymore. :( But I thought the game was really fun.
It has a bit more depth to it than one might think from the looks of it. Since you can optimize the automatization of your crafting processes and use drones to do some work for you. A small warning: you can die in the game from a lack of oxygen and I think if you anger the bees too much they sting you.. a lot .. :D So it's not 100 % friendly.
There is also a game called Lost Nova, by the way, which is also a cute Sci-Fi game which costs a bit less and is not a builder, but an Open World Exploration game.
So don't confuse the two. ( “･ω･ﾞ)

What was your first wholesome game?
(feddit.de)
The first game I ever played of the genre was probably Wandering Willows. It's quite old, release was in 2009. It was very different from all the other games I played up until then (which was mostly Final Fantasy, Zelda, Mortal Combat and the like xD).
You are stranded on an island and have to fulfill quests and help the villagers. As a companion you can catch various pets and level them. There is also farming and character customization.
