How do you deal with judgy bitches?

Anonymous 325501

in picrel's situation there's nothing you can do other than say "thanks" and not drag it out any further: people will hate you for not shutting up/taking the "positivity." they want to feel like a good person, which is far more important to them than being honest. "the worst part about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." it's frustrating but unfixable, since ugly people are not allowed to complain without being seen as ungrateful disrupters of the peace.

but the pic implies that the ugly one was venting to this prettier woman, which she shouldn't have done in the first place. vent to other uglies, family, or not at all

i think op misused picrel but was trying to paint a picture of a pretty woman that's genuinely lying and it kinda shows. a lot of beautiful people are just trying to spread the love, or are innocently oblivious - but like, not always

If you don't trust someone, you don't have to interact with them and if you work together or something you can interact with them as little as possible. Worrying about what people think all the time will paralyze you and is pointless because people are fickle things. Those that love you one day may hate you the next.

Anonymous 325506

yh, i agree. overthinking about other people's intentions is paralysing, plus a bit invasive because it's not anyone's business to inspect the private thoughts of others. assuming the worst of others is also cruel in its own way, since it paints someone as a bad liar. but genuinely, there are tons of people that think they're god's gift for saying "wow you shouldn't be insecure, you're so beautiful" when they're lying through their teeth - like those girls that are "self love" gurus, but get touchy when they're compared to fat girls. it's the self congratulating attitude that is so backwards. but you're right tbh, even with that being said, the best option is to avoid deciding for oneself what other people think. it's self-centred just the same. i guess i just hate dishonest people that say everyone should lie to themselves and be happy when that's encouraged

History general Anonymous 325492[Reply]

Maybe I'm being an idiot again but I can't find any history-related threads or generals. So I'm gonna make one and I'll start with a question I've been thinking about lately.
What was social mobility like in European and maybe some other countries?
I didn't research it quite thoroughly yet, but in Russian Empire there was something called Table of Ranks. If a commoner spent enough time at the 14th rank and higher they could gain something called "personal nobility". This does not get passed down to your descendants. 8th rank and higher could grant you "hereditary nobility".

Anonymous 325493

Here's an example of social mobility in Russian Empire. Lenin's father (born Ilya Ulyanin - MATERNAL surname!) was the son of a former serf based in Volga region. He received hereditary nobility in 1882 for his work as an educator. He started and managed a lot of schools for Volgan ethnic minorities and was likely some minority himself, but nobody is quite sure which one.

Also, I'm reading Bracewell's article on Fourier transform, and Fourier lived under Napoleon's France, he accompanied Napoleon's expedition into Egypt, and I believe it says he created Fourier's transform after the French Revolution. A lot of his contemporaries were skeptical of his findings, among them are Poisson, Laplace and Euler! I did notice they sounded French-y in my uni years, but I had no context that they actually lived at the same time and kinda knew each other. So, Napoleon's France has some cool contributions to mathematics.

Anonymous 325495

Kinda randomly had this idea, that now that everyone records their life activity in a smartphone or pc (basically), it's possible that we can study historic figures in much greater detail in the future.
Idk how to explain it. You know how in the past we only had the person's writings, but now we will have the photos they took or saved, the cached messages they will have on their phones? Crazy stuff.

Science thread Anonymous 115805[Reply]

Since there's too much talk about moids in our boards, I decided that I should do my part and contribute something non-moid related. So I'm making this thread about science, maths are included as well of course. I personally think that the soft sciences are actually closer to the humanities than to the hard sciences, but in the spirit of avoiding a flame war, I'll try to avoid this point as much as I can from now on.

You can ask questions and discuss stuff about science here, I'll try to answer whatever I can and perhaps attempt to guide posters in the right direction if I'm not familiar with the topic. I'm a physicist by training but I have a basic understanding of general chemistry, geology and biology as well. I know the most about astrophysics and meteorology/climate stuff, I'm OK at mechanics, thermodynamics and quantum physics and not so great at electromagnetism, relativity and maths in general (as in, compared to a mathematician, for a physicist I'm average at maths). Sorry if that came off as a bit pedantic, I just wanted to let you know the kind of stuff I'm more likely to give good answers to.

So yeah, ask away!

Actually I'm gonna write another post. It's not a review of a video but just something I've been wondering about. Specifically, hard biological limits and extremophiles.

My favorite way to approach things, whenever I start wondering about anything at all, is to experiment with all possible edge cases. It really puts things into perspective sometimes and exposes certain characteristics/behaviors.

For example, what is the highest (and lowest) possible temperature a human can sustain? The highest core body temp would be around 43∘C (109.4∘F) before the proteins start breaking down.
Yet, extremophiles like Thermus Thermophilius are capable of surviving at much higher temperatures, so what gives?
Turns out mesophiles' proteins offer more flexibility, but that trades off for less heat stability, unlike thermophiles who are very rigid but super stable.

This article has a cool graph on how heat destroys proteins: https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-heat-kills-cells-20170509/ Also I used it as a source kinda

An increase of only 10 degrees resulting in death seems shockingly low but I suppose the human body is really efficient at removing excess heat. As for the cold, I do recall reading something about the body producing "brown fat" which somehow helps the body regulate temperature more efficiently. I forget the specifics

It's unlikely that there is none other lifeform, but in this galaxy and at this very moment?
Let's be honest, it does not matter. It cost the energy that the sun produce in a day to send a probe to a star that is 100 year light away, and it will take 1000 years for the probe to get there.

Wherever there is life out there, inteligent or otherwise, it does not matter.
