This is fucking sick

Hey, not all of us! Physics was humbling in my experience. Had the exact opposite effect.

I did exceptionally well at a top physics university, and still felt stupid all the time.

It took getting my ass handed to me to wipe that veneer off my perceived awesomeness and realized I’m doing this cause I love it. Why would I think down on anyone else doing what they do cause they love it?

And I sure as hell came to realize that there’s people better at biology than I am at physics.

That said, lots of physics people are high on their own supply. So, not discounting the reality of physics dickheads that are in abundant supply.

As @Albbi@lemmy.ca said, you weren’t wrong in how you phrased it.

But it can have two very different meanings lol.

Beautiful shots, thanks for sharing! I need that lens asap…

Damn… I’m going to keep “not a fault, it’s a failure” in my back pocket. I’ve never heard it put that way when discussing a screw up that wasn’t really someone’s fault (in this case Biden, but could be Dems or even situations not politics related)

I feel being critical without blaming unfairly is a huge part of my personality, and so this type of convo actually comes up kinda frequently in my life, since so many people struggle to see gray areas between right and wrong, at fault and not at fault.

But what you said is a perfect way to better ensure that the meaning doesn’t get lost to blaming, after which the conversation is usually a lost cause.
