I have no taste for cannibalism... But yes, we all come from tribes of headhunting cannibals. Our own DNA contains trace evidence of it...

Canadian universities are making things easier for students with mental problems, which seems fine at the surface, but is actually unfair towards other students and it devalues the university degree in the long run. An extreme case was a student who was given 8 hours to complete a multiple choice test.
The reported number of students with mental health issues has also been rising quickly in recent years, which I expect is largely due to a lack of oversight. And the more students make false claims to have mental problems, the more swamped with work the people who have to decide whether to grant them special rights are, and the more likely they are to default to yes, because they simply don't have enough time to investigate all cases and if they say no to a student who actually has a problem they'll be demonized. But if they say yes to a student who doesn't, then the student is happy and they get to be done with that case.

This is insane... No pun intended. It may make a degree a worthless piece of paper in less than a few decades...

That is the purpose. Smart enough to work... They started "the inclusion" here too. I'm anxious for the elections in the Autumn.

First is really decent.
The second one is stuff I mostly knew already, but nicely put together. it is slightly depressing that so much work and cost could lead to virtually nothing in science. Well, I got my PhD after my fifth research project for a reason: first four turned out to produce negative correlations or insurmountable technical problems...

How is that bad? Did you repeat your research till you got desired results?

It means what I supposed to cause the observed effects had nothing to do with them and I prove it. You can't get PhD on that , as finding a positive correlation is required, as well as nobody wants to publish such research... Bad...
Where on Earth have they taken that woman from...? Denser than my students... The guy handled her ass to her masterfully.

I don't like it. I like to be tricked by a magician, my comedy I like to hint at truths, not to be faked.

I said clever, not honest, or creative... it is an ugly shortcut and a cheat to hire help when you could not elicit a genuine reaction. I am sure it was good for his income, though.
