Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Real talk, imho.

Video is 18 minutes and 26 seconds, in case you want to know the time before watching it (I know this helps people decide on whether to watch a video or not so I always remember to say the time of each one I post, generally)

Idk about Sabine, I can get past disagreeing with some of her takes but then saw a video that basically made fun of people saying there has to be new physics, accusing them of fishing for funding, then she proceeds to explain why there does have to be new physics, not sure I can take any more. Like I get she her opinion is they're looking in the wrong place, she seems to think they're taking more than their fair share of a finite supply of grant money but that's not really how it works. This isn't the first time she's complained about others getting money either, it's one of her standard talking points, like some kind of science version of fiscal conservative. I'm happy to see experimentalists being funded at all, if it's real science I'm not complaining, 9 billion dollar moon shots make me happy what can I say? How bout instead of ragging on other scientists everyone gets money and we take it from the pentagon budget and taxing the rich
