As a matter of personal defence I should say that Pisces is where it's at.

It isn't. Run while you can. Before you turn into a fish.

Aquarius is clearly better. Without us, there'd be no water to be a fish in.

Indeed, Aquarius is the superior sign.

Yeah it is!

No... shit, wait. I was born an Aquarius, but then they changed it several years later so that my birthday falls under Capricorn. Just like they declared Pluto was no longer a planet, the bastards.

I'm having a fun time laughing my ass off at one of the conscpiracy theory channels on D-Wave, quantum computing and AI. Guy literally thinks D-Wave is the antichrist because D-Wave's creator likes to anthromorphise it in his sensationalist interviews.

Before I figured out the that frog thing was named Pepe, I assumed they were calling Pepe le Pew a hatemongerer. Not sure why, as Pepe le Pew only wanted to make love... with a cat... _{a non-consenting cat...}

Speaking of Pepe....

AHAHAHAHAHAHA THOSE POOR FUCKERS PAID THOUSANDS FOR THAT

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Literally months out of college and I want all academia to collapse in on itself and die.

* Tiruin hugs her academia

...I've literally not seen that kind of thing even being taught seriously. Flying Dice, whaaa o_o

Is this a cultural or linguistic thing with that frog, in certain areas or...?
Because wow. That's very limited poor social learning if it's...made like that. (Although in the context of sociology, it's also contextual if that is actually, seriously, being used in the context of the area present. But wow, memes?)
I just wow .-.

I'm a Cancer and Leo cusp, because I'm speshul.

I'm a Gemini. Someone else pick out my other archetype. That made me laugh.

It's what happens when self-important intellectuals who are totally net-illiterate take cable news seriously and try to talk about it in class. Could also be a little "Oh, this is topical and kids these days like the maymays, maybe this will keep their attention," if it's a gen-ed course trying to play catch-up with all the kids who were systematically failed by their high school education.

But mostly it's the same old "I am a third-tier specialist in field X, therefore I am perfectly and totally knowledgeable about everything." that crops up. Remember, professors are just as human and fallible as anyone else, and plenty promptly forget their critical thinking skills as soon as they stop needing to trot them out. To boot, if someone is teaching low-level undergrad courses most of the time, there's a reason, and that reason is: inexperience, incompetence, lack of ability/interest in more fulfilling work, retired/semi-retired and fucking around; pick one. The best people in any field are mostly going to be doing independent research, working with doctoral candidates, writing articles, going to conferences, &c., not sitting in a lecture hall with thirty to a hundred eighteen and nineteen year old business management/art history/women's studies/creative writing/undecided majors. That's what grad slaves students and assistant professors are for.

I'm Gemini too! Are we twins or something?

The old generation that grew up without internet for half of their lives is still very much alive and teaching in unis, so its not surprising that there's people insane enough in academia to fall for media shittery so easily, specially the high and mighty multiple PhD humanities professors who will blindly share facebook posts as some sort of reliable source of news on science and society. A lot of them aren't actualy that dumb, but there's always those that do indeed believe they somehow know better and pass these hilarious things on as some sort of important phenomena, specially when it suits the narrative they like most, and humanities uni professors are usualy incredibly politically biased anyway.
