Haha, so fun fact, I know Atlas personally/professionally. He's one of the most obnoxious people I've ever worked with, and incredibly thick-headed. I rang him up once to tell him that some numbering was off in his paper I was reviewing, and none of the images matched up. It would have taken 5 minutes to tell me which photos went with which captions so that I could fix it, but instead he took 15 minutes to yell at me about how I just didn't understand his work and he'd already corrected it and he couldn't believe I was wasting his time. He finished with "I don't know why you're refusing to understand me!" before hanging up. He also likes to play colleagues off of each other to get what he wants. On my project, I was the "bad guy" and my coworker was the "good guy" and it got cartoonishly out of hand. He rejected everything I did, so my coworker and I agreed that it was just easier to pretend she was doing everything. I'd send my part over to her and she'd send it to him, and he'd send back these emails complimenting her work and calling her the most amazing person he'd ever worked with. It really weirded us both out. I could go on and on with stories. The project lasted for 2 years, and was easily the worst experience I've had with academia.

Splicer posted:If I'm reading it right they made a post about the illegal skull trade in India and some guy thought they were talking about buying an illegal indian skull for themselves, and I genuinely can't tell if their failure to say "I'm not buying a skull" without caveats is just lovely communication or because they're ethically purchased skulls georg It sounds like they want to get a donated skull at some point, with clear documentation that it was one. But the other person latched on to the idea of illegal skulls from India and is insisting that absolutely everything is about those. Even with the original post being a warning against that.

In my mind, it's just an extremely pedantic fellow who refuses to claim they do not possess any human skulls, as they do, in fact, possess as many skulls as your average person.

DACK FAYDEN posted:what about people who have been trepanned, they have like 0.95 skulls and I bet that's driving the average down a lot more than the guy on twitter who may or may not have an extra You'd need 20 trapanees to counterweight just one person who had a single extra skull (which, as I'm sure you are aware, would make them a mere dilettante in the world of serious skull collectors. Skull collecting is like K-pop, in that no one gets a little bit into it).

I'd rule that a skull that has been trepanned still counts as one skull, just a skull made of a little less skull than normal. Ordinal skulls.

At the very least skulls make the most sense as a collectable human remain. Don’t get me started on those weird fucks collecting femurs or *shudders* toe bones.

Arsenic Lupin posted:Toe bones >> skulls for necklaces, unless you're as big as Kali. If someone's wearing a necklace of 28 toe bones, they could all be from the same person. The guy wearing a necklace of 28 skulls is letting you know exactly how many people he's killed. That is why skulls are better.

You can’t possibly be an effective warrior if you’re constantly using one hand to push skulls out of your field of vision. Edit: I guess, rather than a warrior, you could be a serial killer. Still, —stealth.

learnincurve posted:Darn, I’m going to have to serious post to defend my skills. British food being bad is french propaganda that originated in the pre-revolution era. I know this if two days ago but I wonder how much significance that has in "O the Roast Beef of Old England", which I learned about in school except I wasn't paying attention so all I remember is that it's by William Hogarth who's always fun to pore over pixel by pixel, and that the fella on the far left middle is Bill Hogarth himself. Some dude with a poleaxe is about to thrown his rear end in a dungeon for spying, that's whose hand is emerging stage right to grab him. I've heard tell there's a lot of symbolism in poo poo like the monk wanting to grab a bite himself, but I'll going with a more literal context because I'm dumb.
