    It gets worse the more deviations you get away from the mean:

    Scientists and other academics who often pride themselves on their rhetoric act in peculiar ways when they’re challenged on their assumptions with sources.

    Normally, you’d expect the open-minded to be like: “Wow, that’s something I hadn’t considered! Thanks for expanding my intellectual horizons!”

    Instead its: “You completely invalidated my work, you fuckwit! We’re going to lose funding!

    Always be kind to everyone you meet. C:







  • There’s a non zero chance that Mars is a remnant of the planetary impact that occured to the Earth ~ 3.5 BYA. The issue is that’s a really loose hypothesis, but the speculation is that Theia - which impacted Gaia (old Earth) was an ice planet / water world, which gave us most of our oceans.

    Evidence of water evaporation on Mars therefore makes sense, as a catastrophic effect (such as planetary impact) would indeed cause the atmosphere to boil off, leaving behind these dry lakes and riverbeds.

    I personally haven’t spent enough time on Mars to make a substantial conclusion, there wasn’t enough time to do any science between the sheer insanity of basic survival on a planet that seems uniquely designed to kill you and crush your spirit before doing so.

    I totally approve of your analysis however, and it’s proof why geologists deserve a seat on the interstellar jumpships :3

    I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

    The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

    Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

    I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.
