    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Social scientist and sociology are not interchangeable words. An economist is a social scientist.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I wasn't talking about pharmacology, pharmacology requires scientific tests mandated by the FDA. I'm talking about how doctors use pharmacology. Most doctors use drugs based on what the drug reps told them about the drug and how many lunches and golf trips they got paid for. Very few...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    All you did was pick out 6 arbitrary names, one of which is a psychologist. Sociology is bullshit to begin with, but sociology is just one of the social sciences. The best sociology is typically done by economists, but that's also another social science.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It comes from research a potential business partner (a biomedical engineer, a jewish phd with a penis if you guys need credentials) and I did. Out of the practicing doctors we surveyed, almost none reported using scientific methods or current research in their practice. Those few that did...

    That girl is a solid 9/10 without anything added. The fact that she's within the vicinity of a video game is +2. The fact that that video game may contain gerbilman bards is another +2. That puts her at a 13/10, then add yoga pants.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Not really a big fan of sociology in particular. Historically it's mostly just thinly veiled racism, and currently it's pretty useless. Political science is a fucking joke. But I don't find medicine to be very scientific.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Sociology is by definition a scientific study. Just because people do cultural criticism and then mislabel themselves social scientists doesn't actually mean they're social scientists.

    Not disagreeing with you, but if they're faculty at a university they need to at least keep publishing research to keep their jobs.

    I think new Sarkhan is pretty insane. You can easily play 3 or 4 in a deck, because if you draw multiples you can just cash them in for 2 dragons each and recast. Toss in Kiora who is great against both midrange and control, and a couple Outpost Sieges for drawing even more cards, and you've...

    For certain definitions of 'many' and 'lots.' Certainly not most. Clinical scientists are a pretty small segment of the field of medical professionals. Again, I'm getting this from actual doctors.Mostof them will tell you thatmostof what they do in the course of the regular treatment of...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Real social scientists actually do original research that includes experiments, because it's a requirement of being a professor at a university. Most doctors do neither. I stand by my assessment.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Medicine: Science or Art? I didn't say anything that doctors don't generally admit to themselves. Doctors do not generally confuse themselves with scientists unless they're incredibly full of themselves or are actually doing original research. Think about it. Most of medicine involves a...

    Those are authors. While they have contributed to science, their main contributions are being good at authoring things. *Real* science is mostly a bunch of legwork and writing done by grad students while other people take the credit. Also, medicine is even less scientific than social...

    I tried to tell people that the Triple Bacon Burger was good but no one believed me. On Mondays you can get any burger and fries for 5.99. Well worth it, except for the fact that their fries are awful so you have to sub something else for a dollar.
