“it showed that women tended to apply to more competitive departments with lower rates of admission, even among qualified applicants (such as in the English department), whereas men tended to apply to less competitive departments with higher rates of admission (such as in the engineering department)”

That’s the opposite of what I would expect, I’d expect that English and the arts in general would be a lot easier to get into than stem, that’s how it is in Australia

Edit: When I say get into I mean get into university, not getting into the industry

Like sure, maybe it doesn’t make sense for most people to put so much focus on something they have little control over, but disgusting? Nah.

Also trusting science is a complete misunderstanding of science. That’s how religion operates.

Edit: Also also, I have some faith in the scientific process, as soon as business and money enters the picture though all trust goes out the window. Corporations do not care what poison they give you, as long as it does not affect their bottom line. Have no doubt that they will ignore their scientists if they can get away with it.

Also, in my experience there’s a huge difference between having an intuition for something and having an understanding of something to the point where you could model it.

If I understand correctly this is only economical because there is this whole system where all plastic soft drink bottles are made of PET, and so easily identifiable as PET and to get the refund you have to take it to a collection point where the only plastic entering the system are these bottles.

Hardest part would be finding a consumer system that still uses hardwired cameras

Also I’m not American so it’s not reasonable to expect me to know what the SEC is, and I don’t have a 401k. We have an entirely different retirement system in my country.
