Finally! My time on Lemmy has come! For those who do not know, the phrase "Who Gon' Check Me Boo?" was uttered by none other than Sheree Spring-Summer-Winter-Joggers Whitfield, of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame, while arguing with her party planner during the Season 2 premiere in 2009. The phrase temporarily shut down the man's argument, before the conflict then escalated to the point that both were shouting at one another, leading to the iconic vein popping out of Ms. Bone-Collector Whitfield's neck.

(I know that's not the point of this post, but the Bravo communities are the thing I miss the most about the other bad place, so when I see a RH reference, I fucking jump on it)

Security articles and blogs slapping "for fun and profit" onto the end of all of their titles

I mean, I get that it’s easy to burn out on all the goofy titles. For example, in machine learning there’s a model architecture called BERT so there’s hundreds of papers with wordplay referencing a character from an old US children’s educational TV show Sesamie Street. Similarly a bunch of NEuroMOrphic computing models are named Nemo with titles referencing the Pixar movie Finding Nemo. Of course, any joke can be tiring with repetition.

But good papers are accessible to a variety of audiences, including visitors in the space, and the point of that technique is to offer a “hook” (to borrow a term from music) that makes the material more approachable and fun to the uninitiated.

TLDR: I empathize but yeah dude’s wrong

References not everyone gets are a form of gatekeeping too just saying.

Is this a real title? Jesus. In 5 years we’ll have ‘Totes mad bro, a study in lit lit and the whoop stats of medi writing stans’, ‘10 reasons peer reviewers hate this one weird trick’.

Motherfkin Mike be straight trippin and shit.

In a chat I ma in someone made the same point with "having sex with your coworkers is bad: a novel hash weakening technique"

It's whimsical, Leland.
