  • the comment that ‘upset’ me in the context you are asking is the one where the guy calls me butthurt for disagreeing with his opinion

    This is not in the context they were asking though, this happened as a response to your rant.
    What some of us would want to have is documented examples of what caused you to write this post.

    In a comment you complained about nobody having “shared their experience in a meaningful way”, but you haven’t shared anything concrete either.

    In the post you said:

    I remember we could still have discussions about controversial topics without things getting ugly

    Yet to me things do not seem to have gotten ugly when you expressed a very controversial opinion in the “taliban” post. This is were concrete examples would help understanding your point.

    Some users did disrepect you about this issue in this post, and I definitely do not support that ! In the end, you are a teen getting bullied (probably by adults) for having an opinion, and this is wrong no matter how bad the opinion is.




  • Strong interaction is really designed as a baryonic thing, leptons have no color charge (which is another way to say that they transform as SU(3) singlets). Leptons do not interact with gluons.
    Not at tree-level anyway. See for example this list of vertices.

    At loop levels, it’s possible to imagine an electron decaying into neutrino+W, then W into two quarks who can then interact with gluons, but as it’s down a couple of orders in perturbation theory so probably much too weak to hold a nucleus together. Not an expert in particle physics so I do not know with certainty whether a couple-of-loops interaction can have a measurable effect.




  • From (the French-speaking part of) Belgium, 6 years of primary and 6 years of secondary. Nothing inbetween as that’s already 12 years. Secondary usually happens within the same school although there are two divisions within it:
    - programs are designed for three cycles (“degrés”) of two years (D1, D2, D3)
    - teacher’s diploma follow a division in two “degrés” of three years : teachers for the inferior one (DI) have a bachelor and teachers for the superior one have a master. In the near future the diploma’s will change but the distiction is mostly going to stay

    In this latter sense, “inferior secondary” would be the equivalent to middle school and “superior secondary” the one for high school, although as I have explained it is not as separated as in the US, Italy, France or others. As someone who teach in the superior secondary “degré”, I do usually introduce myself as a high-school teacher when talking to people from other countries.
