    If this is seriously how cognitively deficient Lemmy is, then Lemmy is no better than Facebook.

    Peer reviewers are expert volunteers. Peer reviewers are NOT paid to complete peer reviews. It is a form of volunteer work.

    Peer reviewers DO hold jobs in their respective industries, and are PAID for their actual, non volunteer, jobs.

    This is stupid. There are two completely separate variables here.

    Peer reviewers review publications as part of their service to their respective communities. Unpaid.

    Peer reviewers are PAID by their respective industry for the fucking job that they perform for that industry. Paid.

    Imagine saying that soup kitchen workers were paid one billion dollars last year. In reality, the soup kitchen workers WORK FOR FREE. They have OTHER JOBS in which they earn money.

    This is divisive, disingenuous bullshit.
















  • The Onion needs to start publishing articles that discuss trump doing really positive things.

    “Trump pledges to increase taxes on billionaires and eliminate their tax loopholes”

    “Trump apologizes for renaming the Gulf of Mexico, pledges to undo damage”

    “Trump calls on the senate to pass bill that criminalizes insider trading in congress”

    “Trump removes all foreign tariffs, making a plea to restore trade deals with the US”

    “Trump signed an executive order to forgive all student debt”

    Now THAT would be some serious satire.
