Saw someone say that dial-up wasn't "usable".
The modern web is the one that is unusable. You open a blank website and it has 478 trackers and runs some javascript heavier than Windows XP.

Don't let bigots thrive and baske in popularity while the marginalized people they hurt are forced to take up less space or leave altogether. Speak up if you can, especially if you can do so for someone who wouldn't be safe doing so. Lose friendships and relationships. I promise you will gain much better ones. Don't be a safe space for bigots.

Make racists afraid. Don't let people feel comfortable in their bigotry. Use the power of social stigma and disapproval to make it weird and uncomfortable to be racist.

... which is to say, they used an unreasonable amount of force, even by their own standards
Disband the RCMP

And now I don't know if I can even apply for other funding?
Like, if it's the law that a postdoc can't get hired in Berlin unless they bring $ Forever worth of grant money, uhhh good luck to all of us
I'm just expressing frustration, not looking for help

@bgcarlisle the biggest myth about the academic job market is that there is an academic job market
That big grant that I spent a month on, where I actually stood a good chance of getting funded for 4 years as a junior research group leader
It was just cancelled thanks to this:
I spent ~ a month on it for literally nothing
