Ripped that shit out like a lawnmower cord? Yeah that about explains the state of the world right now
I, uhh, was being sarcastic. It is in fact allowed to do that on the internet, even if you don't actively announce it. But I definitely am a coward though.
Perhaps instead of being a big meanie pants you could look outside and realise that just because they're also nazis it doesn't mean everything has to happen 100% word-for-word the exact same way like some kind of shitty sci-fi movie. I get that the symbolism is compelling and everything. But nevertheless burning down nazi buildings is good, actually.
Ah you're right we should appease them instead, if we just be nice they'll stop deporting people
You're not meant to stick your head in there, the whole point of it being so low is to keep you from breathing in the stuff that's in there
If there's one thing the Hindu Nationalists hate more than Muslims it's China lol
Yeah because it's just dumb misinformation of the "our blessed homeland/their barbarous wastes" variety
Yeah depending on your hardware things like that can still happen sometimes. I don't think it's a lot more common than on other OSes. It's especially not really usual for something as basic as network drivers to misbehave though, especially suddenly. For what it's worth, my experience trying to use Zotero on Windows on both MS word and LibreOffice writer was also a glitchy mess. Anyway, hope you try it again another time when you are under a bit less pressure and it works out better for you then.
In Anglophone countries there are usually other pathways. In Aotearoa/New Zealand, for example, it's normal to start a PhD with a master's, but you can also do it with a BSc(Hons) or "honours" degree, which is a one year programme added on to the end of a bachelors. It's roughly half graduate courses and half research for a small dissertation. A real master's degree there is a bit more intense than it would usually be in Germany, and would usually involve half a year of graduate courses and a year and a half of independent research for a thesis to be examined by independent examiners. It should really contain some novel work, even if it's just replicating, comparing and synthesizing existing techniques from the field. Often if people want to quit their PhD program halfway, they are given the opportunity to write up what they have into a thesis and submit it for a master's, and that does roughly correspond with the work they have already done.
It's more like playing chess with Magnus and making one move that the analysis judged a better move, since losing one piece of material might be advantageous for winning. And while that may not take centuries to happen, it is sure not a 50/50 chance or even a 1% chance.
Or in a race with Usain Bolt, you would not take even one of your steps faster than any of his steps, either.
