my first exposure to porn that I can remember was in the fourth grade. We were doing a project on the Middle Ages and we were all using laptops to do research on whatever. My friends and I found that MedievalTimes.com or some **** was actually a porn site. The rest of the year we incessantly looked up porn on the school laptops during class. Fun times
One of the times I saw Metallica a band called The Sword opened for then. They weren't bad so I went to the internet the next day to check them out. This was maybe 2004 or 5. The sword dot com was DEFINITELY not their band website...

I’ll admit, there’s a level of sexual desperation that I feel like a lot of other men have that I don’t have thankfully

Like strip clubs. I enjoy going to them just for the party atmosphere but I’ve never paid for a dance for myself. Paying to give yourself blue balls or getting completely dispassionate love through a transaction is so unappealing to me
Dances are also where the make 90% of the money if not more ya jagoff.

The Sword is awesome. Learned of them from Guitar Hero 2 (Freya)

what is the process for peer reviewing scholarly papers/studies? I know what the concept of peer reviewing is (having others look critically at your paper and judge it based on his application of the scientific method) but what is the official process of peer reviewing and how can I find peer reviews?

The bolded part made me chuckle.

c2i or Tomas can elaborate, but a peer review is not a process that results in a published artifact. It's the process wherein academic peers evaluate the paper and provide criticism/notes before the paper is actually published. This can range from flat out rejection of the conclusion or methodology, or just simply the finding of helpful suggestions.

I think what you are asking for is something akin to a dissent in a court case. I don't think that exists in the form that you are asking for.

lol that was unfortunately timed dildozing

oh ok, that makes sense. So after a paper is published, is it common for it to be retroactively peer reviewers?

Academic papers are criticized all the time, but that's not the same as going through the peer review process.
A paper could be published in one journal, go through peer review and be republished in a peer-reviewed journal. But I do not know how common that is, if at all. Journals often demand exclusivity. Non-peer reviewed journals are held in lower regard because of the lack of scrutiny required to get published in them.
My perspective is informed by being a history undergrad and having gone to law school, heavily social science influenced. I assume hard science papers are more rigorous and the process is more rigid. I would wait for one of those folks to chime in.

Peer review process:

Hey, I did something cool. I want to publish it…

Dear Journal, here’s a manuscript. What do you think?

Editors at the journal either say: nah. Not for us. Try somewhere else. Or… yeah, looks cool. I’m going to send this to some reviewers to see what they think.

Reviewers read it, they provide their thoughts and typically their thoughts are either, no this is garbage or yeah, this is good and are accompanied with additional experiments or analysis they’d like to see. The authors then do some further work and resubmit. This can repeat a few times until it’s finally accepted and published.

For a thesis, there isn’t really a peer review. It’s a committee of doctoral advisors that approve or disapprove of your work and they decide if it deserves a PhD.

I'm pretty sure I'll be the only person to read my thesis in full, outside of my third committee member, who was very enthusiastic and actually contributed. My committee chair read 2 chapters.

I will note though that 4 of the chapters were basically papers that were peer reviewed, so I guess my thesis was?

I teach what peer review is to undergrads for a living, and c2i is correct.

The reviewers tend to be experts in the field that they are reviewing, naturally. They will review an article or manuscript and send it back at least once for revisions, and then it gets published. This can take months to a year, in some instances. Doesn't mean the contents are 100% accurate - mistakes happen - just they are vetted more carefully than a Time magazine article.

Yup. Peer review articles can be taken down if they find grave mistakes or intentionally misleading info. An author can ask an article be removed or the journal can do it. Or other articles come along that disprove what the first article said in some manner and their both just there for the world to see. That’s why reading a peer reviewed article from the 70s isn’t the end all be all. Others have likely worked on that since then and potentially have found something different.

Why do I get goosebumps when I poop? Not every time. Maybe 25% of the time.

My nose runs a lot about 50% of the time. So much so that I had to Google it.

Apparently, it’s a thing.

Dropped some sort of utensil, either a spatula or large plastic spoon between the oven and counter. The only way to retrieve it is to pull out the oven. Is it worth it?
