  • We (in Germany) had a day where we were supposed to join one parent at work and yes, German has a word for it: Schnupperpraktikum (literally snuff internship)

    It was in the year (8th grade I think) where we did a student internship and beforehand he did a one day internship at one parent.

    Now that I'm in the workforce, it happens that colleagues bring their kids to office during holidays or preschool kids but we don't have a day for that.

  • If you want to do yourself a favor: don't watch the third season and we have no indication that it will get any better. The first two seasons are ok but no loss if you don't watch them. Do yourself a favor and (re)watch a good series instead

  • I really don't get it. If it was in the freezer, why will it be damaged when put back again? Is it that once defreezed some reaction goes on and shouldn't be stopped? I really don't get it. Would it be better to keep it outside the freezer once it warm up?

  • I get the first step. You don't watch a video and have the urge to tell the world that it was neither good nor bad. I think they moved to stars because everyone just gave 1 or 5 eitherway

  • I'm pretty sure it never was different tho I usually use a plugin that shows thumbs-downs. It's basically guessing for new videos so it's not really useful but still

  • But did you watch the finale? Because the finale of the 5th season was intended as the finale of the 4th and when the 5th season was greenlit they shot a season finale for the 4th that doesn't really do anything for the story. I enjoyed the 5th season. It's fresh, finding itself with no purpose, just playing around. You can totally skip it if that's not your cup of tea and watch the finale. Also the first movie is quite good I think.

  • I watched it during the pandemic so the pace worked for me but I see your point

  • Do you have thoughts on Babylon 5? If you haven't watched it, you will love it. It's compared alot to DS9 but I think both are good shows in their own right. Tho what you said is also very true about B5 except that during the war, there are no episodes that don't acknowledge it I think.

  • the scientific consensus here that sex is binary and entirely defined by gamete size.

    Just for the record: I didn't say that. I still disagree with you.

  • So an evolutionary biologist should be trusted more on gender issues than a gender studies scholar? Sure? Are you camp "hard science are inherently better than soft science even if it's about soft science"?

    I mean, sure, you can apply the evolutionary definition to humans. It's not wrong, it's just useless and irrelevant. But the article doesn't stay there. It jumps to sports and prisons and what so ever. What on earth has any of this to do with gametes? I'm not saying it's Wrong. I say it's misleading and your article is a good example for that. Your favorite random evolutionary biologist starts with a clear cut definition and applies it to a messy context. Sure, gametes are a binary but sports is a non-sequitur from there.

    And I said that you can decide whether or not you're stupid but "words have different meanings in different contexts" and the context in question isn't evolutionary biology. If it's about who can have kids with whom, sure, let the gamete definition shine. If it's about social topics, let social scientists do their job and stop spreading misinformation about social topics and social implications. Do better.

  • You could have engaged with my argument but instead you send an article that willfully ignores my argument as well and sprinkles in enough transphobic talking points to speak to the right while still presenting as rational and reasonable. Trans women in prisons commit far less assaults than prison warts but sure, they are the problem.

    Anyway, I stand corrected. It's not only you but you and some random blogger who are stupid. Enjoy your fruit salad with tomatoes, avocados and pumpkin until you start to consider that not every definition is valid in every context.

  • This is an "either I'm stupid or everybody else" moment and I let you decide on your own.

    Words don't have inherent meaning but get meaning by the people who use it in the context they do. It's an collective and context sensitive process. I remember how in one linguistics lecture (typology), we differentiated prepositions from postpositions whereas the syntax prof was like "I don't care if the preposition is before or after".

    Also: Judith Butler discusses your gamete definition as utterly irrelevant in this context in Who's Afraid Of Gender so it's not that they aren't aware. That's all the hint I give you.
