on the name?

2019-04-12 20:44:15 UTC  

no, more like stuff he/they said and how he/they felt

2019-04-12 20:45:40 UTC  

well I didn't get a whole lot because it seemed like everyone was a little weirded out by how everything is blowing up in the media

2019-04-12 20:45:57 UTC  

they just seemed sad it was becoming such a political issue

2019-04-12 20:46:02 UTC  

and they just wanted it to be about science

2019-04-12 20:47:09 UTC  

oh yea

2019-04-12 20:47:43 UTC  

it would have been so much better if articles gave like a list of contributors, maybe some statements from the most important ones and just talked about the discovery for the remaining part

Hi all

2019-04-12 23:59:20 UTC  

Heya Drew

2019-04-12 23:59:28 UTC  

Hey man how are you ?

2019-04-13 00:00:08 UTC  

I'm good, got a lot of sorting out I'd been meaning to do for ages done, threw out some old stuff

2019-04-13 00:00:21 UTC  

You?

2019-04-13 00:35:14 UTC  

Thoroughly surprised the trashy mods haven't nuked this one yet...

2019-04-13 00:39:39 UTC  

lol

2019-04-13 00:39:47 UTC  

The feminists are trying to support Amber...

2019-04-13 01:37:13 UTC  

Of course they are

2019-04-13 16:12:29 UTC  

Heya, how is everyone this weekend?

2019-04-13 16:12:56 UTC  

I’m okay

2019-04-13 16:13:41 UTC  

Any plans?

2019-04-13 16:15:04 UTC  

Relaxing after exercising every evening this week

2019-04-13 16:16:13 UTC  

After my exercising, just seems like there's more to do xD

2019-04-13 16:16:25 UTC  

When I'm on my exercise bike, at least i can play games

2019-04-13 16:18:20 UTC  

Oh that's right it's the start of US spring break isn't it?

2019-04-13 17:02:42 UTC  

Yeah, I exercised pretty well this week as well. Day of rest here too.

2019-04-14 00:28:43 UTC  

_stirs pot_

2019-04-14 00:29:04 UTC  

Are you cooking something?

2019-04-14 00:29:29 UTC  

erm, wrong link

2019-04-14 00:29:40 UTC  

There we go

2019-04-14 00:29:51 UTC  

lol

There are some people who make sexist comments or whatever, but the majority aren't out to deny she made any contribution, it's the fact this was seized on by the press and given massive amounts of credit eclipsing the rest of the team that people have a problem with, the kind of parading it around as a massive win for women or as a social issue

2019-04-14 00:31:47 UTC  

Yep

2019-04-14 00:33:23 UTC  

I had a friend over last night and had the pic of her next to (I forget her name...) the NASA lady with the books of code. I explained the pic to him, where the NASA lady wrote all that code vs this new scientist that contributed part of an algorithm and had nothing to do with all the data she's posing with... he laughed, "Yep, seems about right for the media these days." and he's not even a MRA/Egal type

2019-04-14 00:34:26 UTC  

Crediting her with all of it is just dumb. Do we credit Neil Armstrong for everything leading up to the step on the moon?

2019-04-14 00:34:54 UTC  

Very true.
