I recently reviewed a paper, for a prestigious journal. Paper was clearly from the academic mill. It was horrible. They had a small experimental engine, and they wrote 10 papers about it. Results were all normalized and relative, key test conditions not even mentioned, all described in general terms.. and I couldn't even be sure if the authors were real (korean authors, names are all Park, Kim and Lee). I hate where we arrived in scientific publishing.
I'll be that guy, and say abomination. The more twisted the better. Like a mouth in my belly, extra arm on my back kind of twisted. I'll learn to enjoy striking terror in my victims' hearts. Afterlife will be dope.

Changed careers and went into decarbonization and environmental protection research at 39. So glad that I now feel like what I do matters and my purpose has meaning. Findings can sometimes be depressing tho
Makes sense to me. Sounds weird but some people don't have the ability to think in 3D. My wife is one such person. For example she can't combine in her head her actual spatial position and surroundings with Google Maps, so she can't use it. Same with those 3D rotation IQ test types of puzzles. I'm sure she wouldn't be able to use spatial computing.
Yesterday I spent 1,5 hours to sort my 550 mods for a new Rimworld playthrough. Game didn't launch, so I decided to try again another day and ended up playing Guild Wars 2.
It has different aspects to it. Big part of it is job hunters i believe, but i use it mostly for promotion of my research, discussion with other researchers, policy discussions and following conferences / webinars and news about climate related stuff. I use it daily.
People choose products that seem or sound familiar. It is a psychological effect that advertisers abuse. Often times you see the same ad multiple times and this establishes that familiarity.
I try to avoid reviews, but the editor is a close friend of mine and i'm an expert of the topic. The manuscript was only missing the date
