  • "Wait... THAT'S all the data we have?!?" (for data-driven experiments)

    "We couldn't get any more subjects?" (for human subject experiments)

    "Is it statistically significant?"

    "FML this isn't publishable, is it?"

  • I always thought it was about embracing how dismal and pointless life is.

    It means different things to different people. Which kind of makes sense, if you think about how music and style spreads around the world and hits different people in different cultural contexts.

    Some people just listen to the music and don't get all gussied up. Some people express themselves through professional-quality costumes. Some people use the style to create an identity on social media. Some people use the music and style to explore their cultural heritage. etc.

    buying a leather jacket and pre-torn pants would get you laughed out of a punk rock gathering where everything is thrifted and modified DIY

    It's like: "Hey! did someone else tear those pants? Why haven't you modified your jacket?!? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!"

  • OOH! Wait, I remember that from Philosophy 101! I think Descartes said something like: the only thing you could be sure of was that you were thinking about it, and from that starting point... I don't remember the rest of it.

  • Yeah... the thing about steep learning curves is: I might as well be reading quantitative/modeling & simulation approaches to history at that point. Because eventually that could turn into contributing back to the field.

  • I never really understood:

    In 1865, Argentina was already one of the top 25 nations by per capita income. By 1908, it had surpassed Denmark, Canada and the Netherlands to reach 7th place—behind Switzerland, New Zealand, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and Belgium. Argentina's per capita income was 70% higher than Italy's, 90% higher than Spain's, 180% higher than Japan's and 400% higher than Brazil's.[65]
