This is unfortunately false. It requires the ability to fake empathy. There are a ton of REALLY lovely people in medicine. My first rotation in an ER, the doctor I was shadowing asked me a bunch of questions about a patient and then shot down all my clinical assessments of their drug addiction with "actually it's just because she's a garbage person." Why those people don't just go into finance is beyond me, but they're definitely there. Also I thought the M in STEM stood for Math.
Agreed. I know med students who use mnemonics for empathy.

Math people can be giant introverts with weird ideas about how the world works, or just ignore social decorum entirely, but you don't usually see them claiming to be self made or that purestrain take the brakes off libertarianism is a good idea.

You of course get a share of Old White Man Has Opinions, but less so than the sciences or humanities, especially for pure mathematicians, it's very abstract from any social issues at the higher levels, nobody's going to be saying "all non-cyclic finite simple groups have even order, which is why the races shouldn't mix."

Enough science folks rely on grants that full blown ancapism is a bit rarer, but I've still run into plenty of libertarians and other general shitheads. Maybe it's a bit better in the social sciences, but I'm not sure if they're allowed into the STEM clubhouse. Too many women s-jews.

Burger sauce is what you get when you mix all the sauces on the counter together; ketchup, mayo, mustard, garlic and onion, vinegar.

If you do that in the right order you get a sauce traditionally found at food vans for putting on burgers.

If you don't you get a disgusting mess.

This is super anecdotal, but most of my peers in my physics and math undergrad experience were pretty nice, liberal-leaning people. Eventually two proudly-libertarian robotics students latched themselves into our weekly bar night; one wouldn't shut the gently caress up about how he had figured out what makes people gay and wasn't going to let political correctness stand in his way, and the other spent all of his time mocking us for not being as smart as him, while his parents secretly bought solutions books for all of his textbooks so he just cheated constantly.

Tangentially related? Maybe. But still, gently caress those guys.

e: Oh, and I had forgotten, but my lab partner in sophomore year also advocated that the government should execute homosexuals, because that's what Jesus would have wanted. Made it super awkward when my queer rear end found his Facebook page. He later transferred to a computer science major, though, because of course he did.

I mean it might be? I genuinely can't figure out what's in it. The only one I've seen is like luminous orange so I assumed it was that US stuff. It doesn't really taste of anything I can identify, it's like some weird mix of kraft cheese and tasteless yellow mustard with the consistency of mayonnaise.

I thought ketchup/mayo was marie rose sauce though and that's nice.

E: Oh wait no marie rose has worcestershire in it that'll be why it tastes nice.

Plastic.

More specifically, women handling plastics while pregnant, which introduces estrogen-like chemicals into her system, which then "feminizes" the fetus and turns them gay. And this wasn't treated as "oh well maybe this is one factor", it was the ONLY factor. And the CULTURE just doesn't want to admit it.

Any follow up questions about lesbians, or the existence of homosexuality before 1907, were met with a hard change in subject.

This was about 5, 6 years ago, back when Alex Jones was less of a public figure. But who knows, maybe I was dealing with a True Believer.

He didn't seem otherwise homophobic, though; it was less "the government is turning our kids gay to make it easy for the NWO to take over!" and more "hey, the answer's right there. I'm smart, other people are stupid". It was just weird that he picked that particular hill to die on.

I've just finished the Buzzfeed piece on Milo and I'm even more confused now. He's a gay man married to a black guy that flirts openly with nazis. Before I told myself "he's in it for the money and attention", but it's pretty clear that he was super friendly with an all out nazi outside of his work-related stuff. I imagine him having a jolly email back and forth, talking about nazi poo poo with his nazi friend, while his black husband was sleeping next to him. The gently caress did he think was gonna happen if his friends ever truly got into power?
I could understand when I thought it was 100% about money, but now it seems he believed in it too.

Nazis aren't bright. They always think it'll happen to other people. And frankly they're partially right given that a lot of the modern authoritarian white supremacism is tied up in wealth privilege as well. He would probably see employment as the useful idiot.

It's always been the case. Look at Erhard Milch. He had to work twice as hard at being a Nazi gently caress to overcome the perceived demerit of his Jewishness, but he managed it.

The problem with being 'one of the good ones' is that there's only room for one or two, and you do it at the expense of millions.
