If you have enough time to read shitty blogs you have enough time to get versed in science. Why would you believe our opinions over other people's opinions? Get to actually knowing things instead of being strung along by whoever's agenda persuades your emotions more.

OP we'll let you in on a little secret. As far as we can tell, robots taking over humanity within the next decade has a 50/50 chance of occurring.
Either it happens, or it doesn't.

All there is to do now is take up smoking.

To add to my post, controversially, it's been said that a longer pointer than ring finger indicates a proclivity towards homosexuality. Incorporate that assertion when considering the post.

I'm a handlet myself like the right hand in pic. I got bullied by /r9gay/ today when I posted my hand in a watch thread reee
I'm also exclusively left handed and is ASD with ADHD so my experiences match the infographic actually.

Cut your fucking nails goddamn. Unless you're trying to transition maybe start working out your habd muscles because your hand looks really girly

Prove it mathematically.

How do you figure? Proving that a rule is true in every case is pretty valuable, it allows you just use it without worrying whether it will apply to the specific problem at hand as long as it's within the parameters of the proof.

If there is no mathematical proof, it doesn't exist.

>tfw STDs and pregnancy risk are still a thing
>can't just have casual sex with whoever whenever

What a joke.

They are harmful when your immune system is bad for whatever reasons (stress, malnutrition, etc) and when your non-pathogenic bacteria in and on your body are not quite numerous.

>>8419167
If you believe that pathogens are only dangerous when your immune system isn't functioning correctly then you're pretty ignorant

Is life really all that much easier for women? Seems pretty shitty if you ask me. You gotta deal with periods, you gotta worry more about STDs because your vagina is basically a bacterial/protozoan incubator compared to a urethra which is harder to infect, nobody takes you seriously because you're a woman, you gotta waste time applying makeup. I could go on, but I think I've made my point. I'm glad I was born a male.

>>8419012
My explanation is simpler.

Western society has for the last age and a half put women on a sky scrapper of a pedestal and tries its best to please women.

There are ups and downs for both sexes in society. I do feel that men typically have a harder time finding a mate, which as you stated, is likely the result of the biological drives of females. Females, at least in nature, want to be picky about their mate, because due to the sheer length of pregnancy and rearing a child would be strenuous or dangerous if the father was incompetent. However, on the flip side of the coin, men who have many desired traits get laid all the time. It's really an all or nothing type scenario- either you're a lucky stud or a poor dud.

Virginia here, going outside to see it now. Fingers Crossed for a successful launch.

Solid launch. Hope it links up with ISS no problem.

Hope it crashes into the ISS and blows it up

depends on the event. though the further away from that event, the more likely it changes others too.

If I could go back in time I would find your parents before they created you and explain to them the terrible mistake they are making. Then, because you no longer exist, this post would no longer exist, and the five internet strangers reading this post would be reading something more interesting, like a story of a guy that licked a llama's asshole and decided it tasted like burnt buttered spinach.

Is there some kind of quota being enforced that /sci/ needs at least 6 Fermi paradox threads per day?

no that's fucking dumb

the actual explanation is that the universe is really really big and the chance of intelligent being near enough to contact us is very remote

even if they had light speed travel they wouldn't be able to reach us

If you know what a sine and a cosine is, you should be pretty much set. Why do Americans need an entire university class on trigonometry anyway? Shouldn't you be doing that in school?

>>8418663
>How much Trig is in Calc I?
Not a whole bunch. So long as you have taken a pre-calc course you should be fine. Calc 2 on the other hand has a lot of trig, generally speaking.

If you're completely oblivious to calculus and your alegebra is so-so you it might serve you better to take calc 1 first, albeit the calc isnt that rigorous. But if your algebra is on point you could get by taking the two together.

>>8418663
>Why do Americans need an entire university class on trigonometry anyway?

I have never heard of a school offering Trig as a seperate course in my school district in the US but i have heard about it before. I think it was originally a secondary track for those not able to do pre-calc and calc. Algebra 2 covers trig very briefly and in pre-calc you really get the full trig treatment. So, for those not taking pre-calc learning trig is really helpful for real world application.

Scientific journals should have been demonopolized long ago via the internet. Steal from those fuckers indiscriminately as much as you can!

It's lining some middleman's pockets for sure. Same problem as academia.

You forget that people need houses and cars and lattes and caribbean vacations. That def costs 25 per article.

It will be amazing to see if Witten get's 10% from each of those 25. He might be rich without us knowing it!

If you can, get an MD, do all the shit pharmacist do, but with more value. I'm mainly talking about general practitioner MDs.

OP here. That's what I plan to do.

I was just wondering because...well, why do Pharmacists need as much training as a Doctor?
