On the flipside I have a friend that has a Master's in Sociology that doesn't make $40k. Money isn't everything, and it's important to note that probable difference in job satisfaction. Though I do agree with this: IGotIt4Cheap posted... it all comes back to Proper Planning Which is that you have to go in with a plan, at least a developing plan, from the start. If you start planning your junior year, it's usually too late to make yourself competitive for a lot of things. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/05/17 1:38:37 PM #38 | Statutory rape shouldn't be a thing. Coerced sex is rape, if you are going to claim that the sex was coerced though, you should have to provide evidence of coercion, not just point at a number. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/05/17 12:54:32 PM #53 | darkjedilink posted... I take from them the idea that there is a brain chemistry issue to be studied with the idea of finding a treatment or cure for the underlying chemical imbalance - not that we, as a society, need to feed delusions caused by such. It's not a brain chemistry or 'chemical imbalance', and the fact that you suggest that these articles suggest as much tells me that you didn't actually read them (which, btw, is not surprising in the least). --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/05/17 12:06:18 PM #37 | darkjedilink posted... Then present some. It wouldn't take you much to google if you'd actually want to educate yourself, there are may articles regarding sexual dimorphism and the brain meant for laymen. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/his-brain-her-brain-2012-10-23/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-there-something-unique-about-the-transgender-brain/ http://www.brainfacts.org/Brain-Basics/Neuroanatomy/Articles/2014/His-and-Hers-Sex-Differences-in-the-Brain (I imagine you might find yourself stuck on the wording about uniqueness of the transgender brain, but it's kind of a red herring. The evidence suggests something has gone wrong during the traditional development of sexually dimorphic characteristics, and this is likely related to the pervasive claim of perceived identity) Scientific American is a pretty good source for these things, science being presented in an accurate but digestible form. (Edit, added another link to brainfacts.org, mainly because when closing my google search tabs I noticed the link, and wanted to point that website out to you. It's run by SfN, and also provides some very accurate and digestible information) --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | transgendered men do not become women, nor do transgendered women become men |
| COVxy 09/05/17 11:55:50 AM #33 | darkjedilink posted... Literally zero data has been presented arguing against what is in the OP. There's literally mountains of evidence that there are sexually dimorphic organizational and features of the brain and that these features are organized very early on in prenatal development and remain relatively nonplastic throughout the rest of the lifespan. There's evidence that early perterbations with develpment can shift these organizational features into one direction or the other, and there's no reorganization possible. There's plenty of correlational evidence measuring transgenderism in-vivo, though this data is complicated and messy, since it's correlational with technology that is inherently limited. Anyone claiming that there's no reason to believe transgenderism is an inherently biological condition is arguing politically, not scientifically. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | Are you accepting and supportive of transgender people? |
| COVxy 09/04/17 6:54:13 PM #143 | HippopotamusRex posted... The issue is that human conscious is non-transferable. There will never be biological proof through empiricism. All of it will forever be politically driven speculation. A human being cannot split a single person's consciousness into two parts and test for what feels female and what feels male. Any argument made that feelings in the brain are more integral to the identity of consciousness will always have an equally legitimate counter that the body determines the identity of consciousness and not the other way around. In other words, you could equally make a case in any scenario in which a male brain which has more femininely identified traits is simply a male archetype that is an exceedingly rare male archetype, not a female one because by default it's a male thought process. Just a very rare one. This is a silly post. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| Topic | I'm going to post some weird political spectrum charts here |
| COVxy 09/04/17 5:45:48 PM #19 | _Near_ posted... COVxy posted...Do you have any links to studies that have actually taken large groups of people's political views and done some form of factor analysis to uncover the actual political spectrum? It matters because understanding where people actually stand in relation to you is like the entire point of these things. It seems to me that the biggest issue with politics we have these days is people staunchly labeling themselves and distancing themselves from other groups that are actually quite identical in terms of political views. I mean, this is probably the entire reason why Trump won the election, because the Democratic left managed to split their party even further along pragmatically arbitrary lines "democrat vs leftist". --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |
| Topic | Are you accepting and supportive of transgender people? |

| COVxy 09/03/17 8:40:02 PM #35 | I like the whole "You must be a fatty" default response. It's good because it directly demonstrates my point. The only thing you care about is having someone to punch down upon to make yourself feel better about yourself. It's sad and pathetic. Try to work on yourself. Improve yourself so that you don't have such crippling self esteem issues. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/03/17 2:18:45 PM #27 | Esrac posted... COVxy posted...boxington posted...nah, he was making a point about how 4chan might be able to track Light, using their past exploits as examples. I mean, a broken clock is right twice a day. In the perfect conditions it's easy enough for a few people with the right Google fu to do this shit. More often than not, you just get this internet sleuthing to lead to nowhere or worse, wrongly accusing someone. But looking at things more realistically, what 4chan has more than anything else is the uncanny ability to take credit for things they weren't responsible for and exaggerate their involvement to continue this bullshit persona. Remember when it was 4chan that was responsible for tricking reporters into taking the Trump dossier, the document they apparently completely made up, and running with it, single handedly creating the "fake" Russia investigation? --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

I mean, this idea of 4chan as a big scary powerful entity and L serve the same exact nerdy power fantasy, which is why I like the comparison, but that's really what it is, a power fantasy. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] |

| COVxy 09/01/17 2:24:52 PM #3 | I think it heavily depends on the university and lab culture. I haven't experienced it either, but my dept. has very few postdocs and the environment is very collaborative in nature.
