when did you realize STEM degrees are a massive scam and that you should have gone to med school or a top tier business school instead depending on your strengths?

Let me guess. You're always the first person to point out typos of your/you're, or there/their/they're or to let people know it's "fewer" not "less". Are you a literal 14 year old or just a mental 14 year old?

I can tell you checks are not common, at least in my field (coding).
So you could lie, even if most people just lie about their previous work experience pretending to know more than they do.
Even companies don't admit it they evaluate people more using istinct, they think they know if you're lying.

>>16385743
Nah it has to do with structure. If punishment and reward coincide with the proper structure of higher social realities than the parents are seen as doing a good job. When punishment and reward are totally incongruent with that then they've created demented offspring who understandably dislike many things including their parents.

Dark matter is solved when you realize galaxies are just spacetime swirling around a cosmic drain. Of course you see extra rotation and lensing when that whole region of spacetime is swirling.

that actually sounds intuitive and feels right and I see it similarly.
the problem is that GRT doesnt offer that and works extremely well both on way bigger and way smaller scales.

I wonder if we are lumping several phenomena together without realizing it when it comes to dark matter.
and I wonder if there could be a counterpart to heisenberg for large dimensions and masses, a mass blur through motion.

Lack of understanding of nuance, completely teenager/aspiepilled response. Most evils are a consequence of being given free will, without the juxtaposition between each other there would be no "good" nor "evil".
Also good and evil is a manmade concept. Retards who spin this nigger platitude of yours are dumber than the christcucks they are belittling.

Cheating aside isnt it basically impossible to fail at at mathmatics now with tools like chatgpt? Its an impossibly perfect tutor that isnt constrained by time or energy. The main reason i sucked at math in school is because i was scared of annoying my teacher with
too many questions that were potentially retarded. With chatgpt all of this is irrelevant because it doesnt judge you.

Right now it’s one of those things where it can be helpful but only if you’re not totally ignorant about what you’re asking it. I posted an image from a set theory book about Hilbert’s Hotel, and it actually gave a great answer. There were some minor mistakes but the overall idea was there. I have asked it other things where I don’t necessarily use the answer that it provided but it gets me started towards the right approach for solving a problem.

Why, exactly, do scientists believe this shit makes up the vast majority of the energy in the universe when it's completely undetectable by any means known to man? So far the only "evidence" for it I've found is scientists are completely incapable of explaining the expansion of the universe without it. Is there more?

First of all, it's cosmologists.
Second of all, it's either assuming "dark matter/energy" or acknowleding the physics as we know them here in Earth is not what is going on out there, in which case nobody then actually have any clue what is going on out there.
That's a prospect too inconvenient for people to care to admit.

Is not that simple at all. There is far less dark matter in young galaxies and there is also far less dark matter in far away galaxies. Is not as simple as just adding some numbers to fix equations.

Basic healthy literacy (i.e. correct diet, exercise, avoiding smoking and drugs as well as having a technique for mental resilience) is easily achievable by anyone who has completed school.
The problem is implementing those principles. The hours in residency fucking suck so it becomes a battle to not compromise form or pick up a crutch. Of course, such battles are faced by almost everyone.
