    Shoutout to the physicists dismissing biologist experiment design as a whole instead of across sexual or gendered lines.

      I read that as the subtext still being sexist because Biology tends to have more women in the field compared to Physics.

        Nah, it’s typical university faction wars. Engineers say crap about architects, mathematicians sneer on physicists and so on…

          How people can walk out of a university with degrees and not understand how all areas of knowledge contribute towards each other and link together in ways that are not immediately obvious astounds me.

            because of a long established undercurrent of competition within departments (and even between professors) for recognition and advancement. That and there are some people that have very large but very fragile egos that can’t allow another person or discipline to grab more sunlight than them.

          Engineers say crap about architects

          As an engineer, this shit is so cringe… There is a youtube gaming channel with an alleged engineer who plays video games (often related to physics or building things), and his entire fucking personality is formed around mocking architects for being “stupid.” He literally substitutes in the word “architect” instead of calling someone stupid. He say’s “they’re an architect.”

          Grow the fuck up goddamn. How insecure do you have to be?

            I’m a heavy equipment mechanic, and every day in the shop I hear other guys complaining about how an engineer fucked up a design on a piece of equipment and that’s why it failed. Or that the engineer made it hard to work on on purpose. So cringe. I just roll my eyes at them and tell them if they are so smart then why aren’t they the ones designing the equipment lol

            Its sad that all the fields feel the need to shit 9n each other. We as a society would got a lot further if we could all get along 😁

      I don’t really understand how that one was a problem if they’re also a physicist, or even if they’re a biologist. Nothing wrong with some fun rivalry.
