People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

MODERATORS
Statisticians are somewhere between Sociologists and Psychologists according Mathematicians and between Chemists and physicists according to Statisticians.

Between chemists and physicists is where I would place them too, as someone with a physics degree.
philosophers way to the right of mathematicians saying "oh! I didn't notice you there"
i'm an economist (basically advanced statistics with weird assumptions).
I'd rank them macro econ > sociology > psych > micro econ > stats > bio > chem > phys > > > math > > > > > > > > > > philosophy
Prof Brian Cox once joked that Biology is basically a branch of the Arts
