4. How the word 'incel' got away from us17:09[-/+]

Категория^(?)

Imagine a young man whose voice has been worn down by years of feeling invisible. Plain, numb and bitter, the "incel" tries to explain the kind of hopelessness most of us would rather not confront: "I believed I was unlovable, so who the hell is gonna love me? I won't get a good job, and if I don't get a good job, I won't be able to live the kind of life I want. I'll be lonely and depressed, and what's the point of living? You start seeing life not as something to look forward to, but as something you just have to survive."

This component, referred to as "broader impacts" by the National Science Foundation, can make a big difference for K-12 students and teachers, museumgoers, citizen scientists and other people interested in science, while also helping the scientists themselves give back to the taxpayers that fund their work.

Anyone who has experienced loneliness knows how deeply personal it feels. We feel lonely when our social and emotional needs aren't being met.
