    The prestige of a journal is ranked based on how often it gets cited (or in other words, how influential the papers are within the journal).

    Wouldn’t this mean that other smaller journals could still publish the random common boring studies and then pretty much everyone would be citing those, since the boring stuff like “Trees consume carbon dioxide” would be cited a lot more than specific stuff like “Molecule XX2 can affect the brain development of Augustus caesarius if introduced between the ages of 3 and 6 months” and than become super prestigious?

    Goldilocks zone is basically just where life can survive.

    Even if we stay within the Goldilocks zone doesn’t mean that most of the species alive today won’t go extinct because it fucks up the seasons or the magnetic poles or tilt of the earth, etc.

    I think there’s maybe more risk with the solar system being thrown off balance with other gravitational forces pulling things out of orbit. Even if earth just gets pulled away from the sun a little we are screwed. Or even the moon pulled away from earth somewhat.

    Yeah I do no think mansplaining is not a thing that happens, it absolutely is and is incredibly annoying and insulting.

    I just don’t like how people assume someone is misogynistic and mansplaining because of a single comment on the internet and get all accusatory.

    It is more of a thing that you need to witness a person doing multiple times to women in order to definitely make an opinion of that person.

    If it were a YouTuber that constantly does it in multiple videos then ya fair, throw that in the comments all you want.

    In this case though it’s jumping the gun a little bit.

    The thing I don’t like about the mansplaining accusation is it makes lots of men out to be sexist/misogynistic when they are really just pedantic twits that very well could have commented the same stupid thing to a man. But because it was to a woman someone has to accuse them of being sexist too.

    Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of sexist assholes, but just assuming it to be the case off a single comment irks me.

    I wonder what would happen if we transplanted some penguins from Antarctica to the arctic. Would they survive?

    Maybe some of the more endangered ones could live and thrive up there, and then become a second food source for the polar bears so they don’t starve now that there isn’t as much ice to hunt seals on.

    It’s not like there much of an ecosystem up there that an invasive species can fuck up like the toads down in Australia.

    Devil’s advocate, is she trying to say compared to those unvaccinated but still exposed to/have had the virus? Or people who were never exposed? Because that could maybe change the context. You would think antibodies from a vaccine would stay around the same length of time as those exposed to the live virus directly.

    If she is talking about people never exposed than I have no idea what she is talking about.
