Ok, but what if your worst is based on concrete experiences that occurred repeatedly over years? Of course it's not their responsibility if it wasn't them, but it's not like you're making it up. You're not just coming up with shit for excitement. It's ridiculous, but are you crazy? Is it really your fault in that moment? Are you just creating problems and not giving anyone a chance to directly address them because the whole point is to hurt their feelings? That's the thing I'm getting at. Basically, we're all in agreement. It's ridiculous and they don't have to handle it, but don't give me shit about it like I'm doing it to hurt people or being selfish. It's not "my bad". It's just "bad".

oh no

This is thee stupidest comic I have seen in a long time. 😂

Everyone has met an asshole that says they're neurodivergent to get away with purposefully being an asshole. When you go up to them and tell them you're neurodivergent, look at their eyes. If they squint, what they just heard is that that you're an asshole.

Tenure-track professors typically have a time limit to prove their worthiness of tenure. At the end of that limit, they apply for tenure and either get accepted or practically fired. One way to prove your value is by publishing in "high-impact" journals. There are all sorts of methods to measure the impact of a journal objectively, such as how often its articles are cited in other articles whose impact scores are also measured. These professors that are in serious debt and have spent their entire lives aiming for this position are practically prisoners trying to get out of the whole they inadvertently dug themselves into. A lot of publications are by those professors, so they are aiming for the highest possible impact scores.

Another group is made up of highly acclaimed professors. They all know each other personally and sit on the editorial boards of those high impact journals. Before they officially submit an article, they send it to their colleague that's on the board or knows someone on the board for review, make revisions, then submit for publication. This likely leads to a bias I like to call "a hook up". These professors practically own the journal, so they have no reason to start a new one.

The rest of the professors (mid-level tenured professors) would be the ones likely to create a new journal that isn't privately owned by a publishing company. Being mid-level and tenured, their only drive to excel is their personal desire to improve the field, so they're not as driven by necessity as the tenure-track or personal drive to excel as the highly acclaimed professors. So the reason it doesn't happen is the ones that would make it happened are over-shadowed by the ones that promote the currently established ones.

I think for a new one to come out, we'd need a schism among high-level professors or some major systemic change in academia that impacts the drive for publication.

I feeeeeel....I ☝FEELLLLLL☝ (pls don't get mad at me) like when I tell people ahead of time of my neurodivergence, they take it as me coming up with an excuse to be rude in the future.

I'm on meth rn 😀

I'm like 95-100% filtered at first to avoid upsetting anyone. Very rarely, I'll make it to 0% unfiltered with only the most accepting and trustworthy people.
