it's basically that countries that have won most of the modern nobel prizes eat chocolate based on their purchasing power of chocolate, and the older countries that used to dominate basically have no relation between their current chocolate consumption rate and their historic nobel prizes (this is a very bad oversimplification as this graph is just very shite).

i think the graph is just a joke but it's basically constructed to confuse people based on the only two data points everyone cares about, which is the maximum (switzerland) and the minimum (china)

fella fell for the honey pot

if you got that much money they say "then you had a good life and you don't need asylum" to any non whites. truly disgusting.

i would throw a chestnuts themed banquet in the vatican

you can do as my parents said "well you can become an engineer and continue humanities on the side"

joking aside i know it's a recipe for burnout but stick to your software engineering career. junior positions absolutely suck and maybe if you ride it out you'll start to like it better, or develop strategies to at least deal with it in a healthy way.

unfortunately there is no comparable pay in humanities and although job security is meaningless these days, your position will be extra precarious in humanities as half of your time will be spent justifying your existence to some shithead and you have to absolutely suck off people to keep your job whereas in SWE it's at least desirable for the company to keep you around if they are not doing layoffs.

and what if you risk it and as it turns out you don't like a job in humanities after all? or that the field is interesting but all the things surrounding it is a total shit show? this happens a lot and academia is full of passionate people chewed out and checked out by the suffocating admin surrounding it.

all im saying that it's a huge gamble and personally i wouldn't (and didn't) take the risk. sometimes life is not about what's rational but about what you are feeling so ultimately it's your call.

if any of you see me irl then either i have moved or something has gone terribly wrong.

i don't know about the iraqi side but in iran there is no negative sentiment towards iraqis because of the war.

now don't get me wrong there is negative sentiment because of general arabphobia and because of rumours that iraqis are buying out housing supplies in some cities like Mashhad but most of the hate was directed towards the ba'th party and Saddam which have since now been deposed.

i have heard nothing bad about iraqis from people that went on religious pilgrimage in iraq however i also think there's negative sentiment from iraqis to iranians more so because of the belief that Iran is controlling iraq and meddling in its politics rather than the war itself although i wouldn't know anything about that.

someone should tell these people america is on census voting not landed voting.
