"Everyone complaining is an unsuccessful humanities dork who doesn't understand how the game is really played by the corrupt, unethical elite" is not the defense you seem to think it is

For some reason I thought we were the relativistic idealists who deny empirical reality and STEM academics were the ones committed to standards of truth. I guess not if we expect them to have bullshit citations

@newcryptospace @mbeisen This isn't remotely true. Where did you get this 'fact' that people can't do this?
