A person’s perception is highly informed by how well or poorly they understand the subject or situation in question.

Let’s say you got stood up by a first date because they got hit by a car on their way to you. Your perception of them is going to vary wildly depending on whether or not you know the facts behind why they didn’t show up.

Similarly, knowing how you actually fit into things at your job - i.e. your importance to your working group, the company, it’s customers, society itself, allows you to have a more accurate set of facts to base your perception on.

So yes, the truth matters.

I’m going to have to disagree with you on this.

People have all sorts of beliefs that can qualitatively be proven as right or wrong. For example, all the wingnuts who believe that the COVID vaccine has trackers from Microsoft. Their beliefs are 100% bereft of reality.

Now, can they go ahead and act on those mistaken beliefs? Sure. But that doesn’t make their beliefs correct in any way.

While I get that this is an article geared to laymen/the general public, I do think we should be holding science communication to a higher standard.

I agree with you 100%.

It’s worth pointing out that feeling like you work in a pointless, meaningless job doesn’t necessarily make it true. This paper is solely about people’s perceptions, not facts.

You won’t find that level of detail in typical articles, because they are intended for the general public and are intended to be an overview that a layman can comprehend.

However, the paper itself, which the article links to, has more detail including deformation testing.

It shows 5 if you scan w14.monkrus.ws.

Whether there is a real problem or not, it might be something the monkrus admins want to look into in order to address it.

But if anyone else has a better understanding of what’s going on with their site, I’d love to hear it and it’s probably good information for the rest of this sub.

JFC, the answer to your question is literally the first sentence of the article. It would have taken you less time to read it then to post your question.

For the last month or two, my AV blocks their site because it detected a ScrInject.B trojan.

And yes, it’s the correct site (monkrus.ws).

Understandtable, but if that’s all it is, then there are already aggregate search websites.

Searching through that app still requires a plugin, and all the plugins I saw just seemed to be related to specific sites anyway - so you might as well just search on those sites.

Or is there a plugin that stands out over the rest?

Sequestering is absolutely not bullshit. It’s done for very important reasons and judges are very careful about not ordering it unless it’s truly necessary.
