Nobody likes a sucker, especially the kind that fall for fruit tarts like you. I knew there was trouble. I could smell it on the hot evening breeze. Fortunately for me, trouble is my favorite thing… Because I’m Joe Milkshake. I kicked down the door with one swift, decisive motion.

    The problem is they base that number on the already massively inflated profits they made before going open access. The only reason they have to go open access is if they are not making a deficit in profit.

    Funny enough, they are still double dipping in most cases because you still have to pay the subscription to access all the non-open access papers.

    One wolf killing a moose is a very difficult feat. But when that wolf succeeds he gets more than half of the meat still.

    Six wolves will have a much easier time killing a single moose. They will have almost all meat for themselves, but now have to divide it among them. If that would be done fairly every wolf would only get a third of what they would get if they killed a moose alone.

    I don’t think what’s said in the screenshot is as straightforward as they think it is. I’d be more convinced hunting in packs has a lot more to do with being able to tackle stronger prey. A moose isn’t defenseless.



  • I am a bit worried the response to this here is not a unified everyone’s an asshole in this screenshot.

    Academic publishing is in a very sorry state for a long time by now. A lot of research that is published is not reproducible. A lot of actual research is also in fact never published like that because companies base their products on it and publish those results only as patents.

    So just by trying to be smug and oppose the Muskie you show yourself to be an idiot. Well done.
