The "pastureland" you are so worried about using up is naturally occuring grasslands. Note that the reason most pastureland is pastureland is that it is useless for anything else.
I can fence off 1,000 acres in hilly terrain and set a heard of bovine loose in it. The wander around, collecting and storing naturally growing grasses over a season or two. Then I herd the bovine into a slaughter house and serve the energy up as tasty steaks.
Or I can send men on tractors out into that 1,000 acres during the spring, hoping that I get rain (but not too much rain), spread fertilizer and herbicides and hope that the plants stay on the side of the hill where I planted them. In fall, I send out more equipment to collect what has grown, if said equipment can navigate the terrain I have.
Because it isn't the same. Cronyism is getting the politicians to pass laws to rig the market in your favor. Capitalism is creating a better mousetrap so that customer's choose your product over the competitors.
Cronyism is indirect socialism, in that political favors take the place of consumer choice.
Does anyone consider Zuckerburg an authority on anything? The truth is that he got lucky. He used the money from some rich fellow students to clone another social media app at a time when the world was ready for social media apps. It had been quite a while since Citizen Band radio had declined, and most people had forgotten what a pointless clusterfuck of people with nothing to say that was. They were once again ready to parade their narcissism, and Zuck got lucky that they chose his from among several competitors, MySpace being the most well known. There wasn't a technical reason that FB was superior, it was initially because it was seen to be composed of a more exclusive club.
What exactly in that category qualifies this dufus to be an expert on anything other than getting lucky at the right time? I'm just as interested in hearing about the social impact of rehabilitating the buffalo population from lottery winners.
The blue haired girl at your local community college saying dumb things about sexism does not have any actual power.
Until she accuses you of rape, and then the system renders you penniless as she sit back and enjoys while you're dragged through hearing after hearing.
Not communicating for doing questionable things (note caveat) can get you into trouble.
That's the thing here. Why is this questionable? They wrote up some clearly ridiculous bunk that any normal human would have seen through. The so-called experts relished it. If the experts can't tell research from non-sense, what good are they? And, on top of that, the researchers didn't publish the articles. They submitted them for publishing. There were multiple reviewers that could have rejected them. The only thing I find questionable is are these "reviewers" still reviewing?
His actions embarrass people who may or may not have, in other cases, been performing sub-optimally.
What the actual fuck?
If I hire a plumber to fix my toilet and I come home to find a pipe sticking out the side of my house with excrement slowly dripping from it, I would be exposing the so-called "plumber" to everyone I could.
If I payed a mechanic to change my car oil, and all four wheels fell off as I was leaving his shop, I'd make sure the whole world knew about it.
These idiotic academics claim to be scholarly and knowledgeable, but it is now a demonstrable fact that they are idiots. There is no may or may-not. They were presented with clear stupidity, and didn't slow to blink at it.
He faked a bnuch of data, put in a huge amount of work and got published.
From the article in the New York Times:
One paper, published in a journal called Sex Roles, said that the author had conducted a two-year study involving “thematic analysis of table dialogue” to uncover the mystery of why heterosexual men like to eat at Hooters.
Another, from a journal of feminist geography, parsed “human reactions to rape culture and queer performativity” at dog parks in Portland, Ore., while a third paper, published in a journal of feminist social work and titled “Our Struggle Is My Struggle,” simply scattered some up-to-date jargon into passages lifted from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.”
The authors put together clearly idiotic tripe that shouldn't have passed the smell test with a normal person, let alone a so called "expert". I doubt the team of three spent more than a weekend on it. If the experts can't pick out what is clearly stirred bullshit from actual research, I would say they are as useless as they have been shown to be.
They tried to publish patently ridiculous papers with patently ridiculous data. Are the "experts" in the various field experts or not? A 25% to 30% hit rate of being able to sneak obvious foolishness past so-called experts belies their claim of expertise. The claim is that we should defer to these ivory tower academics on scientific matters. What was done here exposes them for the frauds that many of them are.
in the academic world? You do a research paper debunking other, badly written papers. That's what peer review is. That would have been the appropriate response from an academic response.
And what do you do when the journals will not print your well researched paper citing that it might trigger someone, but doesn't hesitate to print the paper on the mating rituals of transgender mice? You write an equally idiotic paper, and expose the fact that "peer review" is
They made up data for studies that were completely ridiculous. That was there point. The studies should have been rejected, because they were stupid on their face.
In my day, 30 years ago, I got into an argument with a liberal professor about whether to US was a "melting pot or a salad". The only "B", and lowest grade I made the whole time I was in that crap school. It was a historically black college.
Considering that in order to take the physics course you will be required to take the "liberal arts" classes, because they claim to want "well rounded" students....
Yes. That happens on a regular basis and as a matter of course.
Google could put the permissions an app wants in a clear place in the app store so that I could consider the information BEFORE I tried to install the dang thing. As it is, you have to install it, go "Nope", then un-install it and find another app that does the same thing so that you can repeat the process.
You have any ideas what they might want in return?
To rally their base, because they want to "kick him when he's down" and then "impeach the motherfucker."
Really, the guy claiming that Trump brought belligerence to DC, obviously only started paying attention last night. A strong portion of Trump's support has been that he is WILLING to fight back. The media pegged the responsibility for Obama's shutdown on the Freedom Caucus, WHICH ONLY HAD ABOUT 50 MEMBERS!! And Republicans took it. Romney ran a limp campaign against Obama, because he was afraid of being called a racists. Trump is the first Republican we've seen that has been willing to say, "Fuck You" when they call him names. That isn't belligerence. That is a willingness to fight back against belligerence.
At this point, the Dems are just looking for a way to save face against someone that shows them for the idiots they are.
despite causing a government shut down and even admitting to causing it on live TV. It's scary.
Really? That scares you? Some "non essential" government employees get a paid furlough, and the people that don't want to pay for that sort of thing not getting in a tizzy about it scares you? People who are angry that certain industries are overrun by illegal immigrants and have been repeatedly lied to by politicians promising to fix it are NOT upset that we finally have a President willing to stand his ground and get some modicum of a solution in place scares you?
Maybe you shouldn't come out of your mom's basement.
Trump shows signs of going the way of Hitler? How? By pulling our troops our of Syria? By recinding Obama's unconstitutional executive orders? You should get some professional help for that TDS you got going on there.

why do these even exist?
So that people who want to claim those with vaginas are boys can claim that they "fucking love science".

If he were trying to deceive, he wouldn't have submitted papers that included major excerpts from Mein Keimf.
Is that the point of IRB, or is the IRB an entity that can be commandeered to protect "reputations."

They've been trying. Look at laws they keep passing.
If by work you mean spend 20% of your time waiting for Windows to finish updating, then yeah, Windows is for you.
Really, WTF is in those updates that would require 7Gb?!!

Every ecosystem that included humans.
At least, it was better for the humans. Being a human, I find that to be an important concern.
Dude, what have you got against re-runs of "Bonanza" and "The Golden Girls"?
And that was six to many, bitch. Why would we want to let them into our country, traitor?
