That’s why I’ll stick to academia 
Not gonna lie, what really drove this home for me is dealing with a toddler

The monetary rewards are much lower, so the back stabbing is even fiercer.
“Economics” explanation -smaller pie, less to go around, desperation is greater.

What I meant to say is that academia gets to run nice experiments and think of the “ideal situation”
Ivory tower luxuries the real world can’t afford.
Probably the bias from that “control” desire you (naively) express all the time.

Exactly!
My management technique: do it my way or I’ll stick a carrot up your ass.

Certainly a way to weed out undesirables lol
That sounds like a viable strategy! that kind of experiment would never get past the irb
Management style begets the result the manager innately wants.
Cat wranglers wrangle cats. In a scenario that is humming along they jump in and mix shit up, create confusion, then say “Ah, what would you all do without me!”.
Grinders create the grind. Inefficiency, indecision, and overdrawn attention to detail create the need for long hours and tedious wars of attrition against deadlines by overconsuming huge swaths of time. Then they pat themselves on the back and say “Look at me. It’s midnight and I’m such a hard worker! What would this place do without me…”.
@Polar-Bear I like your style. Are you one of the Bang Bro’s.?

Mosquitoes, specifically Florida’s mosquitoes.
These little fuckers are literally like kamikaze- they don’t give a crap what you’re doing and don’t bother escaping. I was doing presses this morning and three landed on my shoulder… WTF. They also manage to sting through clothes.

Yeah, the amount of biting bugs here is insane.
I will take mosquitoes over fire ants though.
Love bug season starts in a month…
Edit: In the midwest we had these little a**holes:
Worst bug bites ever (Deer Fly) - left welts the size of half dollars.

Yeah, I saw the pictures of floating ant rafts in Texas during storms, scary stuff
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, a couple of armadillos destroyed the ant nests. We also starved out the colony behind our cabinet so our house is now ant free!
I love it when pests die
Deer and horse flies are the absolute worst in this state. Nothing will give me a mental break down more than being stalked by them. And that’s exactly what they do. They will chase you for miles. Mosquitos and black flies are nothing.

Those photos your phone takes that are like quarter second videos. Maybe 1 in 50 looks any good that way, takes up 50x the space of a simple photo and then it’s a bastard to get a single photo from it… Pricks.

Sunday drivers on a Saturday morning…
My fucking UK Government, Boris complains about his weight then shuts the gyms pretty much for a year!
Thank god I am back hope you are all doing well… I got injured in August 2019, had to wait a bit, got bad acne from a reaction to accutane as I am some sort of Hyper Responder… March 2020 begin to get the strength back, Boris closes the gyms, I get sick of it about December 2020 so order 200kg of plates, bench, rack, barbell and punch bag cost about £2000 in total due to scalpers and finally hit a 112.5kg for 8 today on bench which should equate back to 140kg 1RM thanks to my coach Pete Rubish!, I am so angry I have been set back way over a year and a half!
