Then everyone clapped
Yeah for real, there’s been another very old tweet that this seems to be based on. Might be real but reads very copied from the previous one.
Link?
Tell me you don’t talk to female academics, lol.
NASA Earth meeting
Are there also meetings on other planets?
Duh, it’s NASA, they can fly to the Moon or Mars
They should do a video call instead of flying there for meetings all the time. Much more efficient and cheaper.
Imagine the latency to Mars though
Just use a cable
Some really scientifically based response by ChatGPT
Sending 1MB of data to Mars depends on the distance between Earth and Mars and the data transfer rate, which varies widely. When Earth and Mars are closest, about 54.6 million kilometers apart, using NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) as a reference, with rates up to 250 kbps under optimal conditions, it would take approximately 32 seconds to send 1MB. However, this is an ideal scenario, and actual times could be longer due to various factors like signal processing and interplanetary communication delays.
That’s not latency though.
The average ping, or round-trip communication delay, between Earth and Mars varies depending on their relative positions in their orbits. On average, it ranges from about 4 to 24 minutes, due to the vast distance between the two planets. This latency presents significant challenges for real-time communication and coordination between Earth and Mars missions.
Why did she have to specify the “white male” part?
to trigger insecure white males
I find it unnecessary. Race/gender/skin color or whatever shouldn’t matter.
Yet somehow it is true that the vast majority of smug people who are confidently wrong are white males. Maybe someday we can have equality in the ratio of being smug while confidently wrong.
The irony of this comment
You know how it goes, not all white males… but almost always it is a white male.
This guy probably wouldn’t have even considered insulting a speaker that way if she wasn’t a woman. In a scientific setting it’s one thing disagreeing with an argument, and attacking the person proposing the argument.
Not true, African American males are just as sexist as white American males.
Yes, but until recently they weren’t even accepted into colleges, were they? Almost like oppression is intersectional or something.
EDIT: refer to my response to Mango. Y’all way stupider/bigoted than I gave you credit for in the first place.
Because that’s the group most likely to commit misogyny in the workplace? Especially in male dominated fields.
Yes and I don’t think you pointing out the truth of this stereotype is unwarranted here. But her pointing it out in the first place was. Replace this with another accurate stereotype about another race. Let’s say there’s a city in which a certain race, per capita, commits crimes more than another. Does that warrant someone saying, “So I got mugged, and of course it was a black guy!”
This type of stereotyping is clearly spiteful, ignores greater understanding about the social situation, and perpetuates the untrue idea most people conflate with these stereotypes: Every member of the race is like this. This is even internalized by members of the race in question, perpetuating the greater social issue itself.
Human drivers of fire??
Ooofff
Big L right there
This once again shows how important it is to acknowledge ones own biases and to account for them.
But Doctor, I Am Pagliacci
I’d be willing to bet this isn’t real.
I’ve been to lots of scientific talks and the idea of someone trying to call put the person talking is kind of ridulous and never happens. You would have to an asshole of the highest calibre to do that. And the fact he mentions a specific paper/person and that just happened to be tbe person speaking and the idea that the speakers name wasn’t listed is just so incredibly unlikely I can’t ever imagine that happening.
This just seems like the kind of thing people fantasing happening, so they can smugly correct them.
Wow. If true, sick slam.
holy shit just like digimon
That’s not how “et al” works
Someone call the police!
I am the police.
Colloquially, it is.
Being casually sexist in an anecdote about alleged sexism, ok.
How is she being sexist exactly?
