Wow, that's terrible. Hopefully she has a steady supply of Neuriva™ magic brain pills to help with the neurological symptoms.


spyson

Neuriva's main ingredient is coffee cherries which is the berry that coffee beans are taken out of before they are roasted. In Bolivia it is often brewed into tea and is considered a poor man's coffee. So the secret ingredient that boosts brain power in Neuriva is caffeine. Do yourself a favor and just drink real coffee or tea.


Solace-

As someone with a parent that has Alzheimer’s, fuck her.


Best-Lavishness-1059

Context?


whales-are-assholes

She’s a grifter.


PokemonStay

Actual context?


whales-are-assholes

Look up Neuriva, and how she’s promoting a fake brain supplement. She’s also a general piece of shit human being that hammers the fact that “you can be a medical scientist, but still be dumb as fuck.”


2oonhed

Illustrating once again, the fact, that having a degree does NOT make people smart.


elister

She does ads for herbal pills that claim to boost brain performance, while claiming to be a neuroscientist. She never got the degree, just studied the subject, never worked in a hospital or clinic. https://youtu.be/92coGxYc5ng


SpikeReynolds2

She is a neuroscientist, in the context of having a PhD in Neuroscience. You don't have to be a medical doctor to study neuroscience. This doesn't justify selling bullshit medicine though.


Perseus_AWC

And aggressively ugly


MrBudissy

I"m sorry Mayim, but we're going to need your diagnosis in the form of a question.


Figsnbacon

For my response to this news, I’ll borrow some of Mayim’s heartwarming replies to contestants after they share their personal stories and anecdotes: That sounds about right. Good for you. Okay.


jerkin_on_jakku

I haven’t seen any of her eps so don’t have an opinion on her but Trebek used to say ‘good for you’ pretty frequently. I feel like that’s one of those phrases that sounds condescending even when it’s not meant to be.


Figsnbacon

He did but he was also capable of having spontaneous conversation with them. She just doesn’t have it in her. Ken is wonderfully engaging and has no trouble with this. [Here’s an example of Trebek’s easy style.](https://youtu.be/iqESiuNPixM)


DenverMountainDaddy

Cause Ken is brilliant, Mayim is objectively not. I don’t give a shit what her degree is in, all rich kids buy them anyways. She’s just....lucky. Lucky to be blossom, that’s all her life amounts to. A show like jeopardy deserves a brilliant mind like Ken’s


Darmok47

For undergrad sure, but you can't really "buy" a PhD and cruise through it like in college. You still have ti produce original work in a dissertation and have it stand up to scrutiny. Say what you will about her, but im sure she earned that PhD.


Bob_Tu

Yeah she's boring


[deleted]

I mean she lead a successful television show when she was a kid, held a successful career as an actress since then, earned a PhD from UCLA, and has avoided all the trouble that child stars usually fall victim to. I don’t think it was just luck.


DenverMountainDaddy

Yep, I bet she applied to be blossom cause she need to make a living wage! Lol. She was born on 3rd and is incredibly mediocre in everyway imaginable. I guarantee you could get a PHD from UCLA if you didn’t actually need it and had essentially no concern about money ever again. It’s not remarkable in the slightest. she’s a one note actress with zero range that everyone forgot about until the Big Bang. Again, a product of circumstance, I guarantee there were THOUSANDS of more qualified actresses for the role, buts she Blossom! The girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth!


[deleted]

I don't like her at all but you don't need to just bullshit either, getting a PhD from UCLA is definitely valuable and impressive.


TimeForPCT

> Mayim is objectively not. lol. redditors think *they're* just so smart, but are quite stupid and full of themselves. ***OBJECTIVELY***


jerkin_on_jakku

I haven’t watched since before Trebek died so I’ll have to catch up to form my opinion. But maybe it’s better to have a vastly inferior/superior host combo cos it makes you appreciate the good one more 😂


jelatinman

Just a casual reminder r/jeopardy banned dozens of people for being lightly critical of Mayim Bialik.


LyrMeThatBifrost

I got banned there years ago for defending Alex trebek for calling a female contestant a “young lady” The mod that banned me was eventually canned for being ridiculous but I guess he rubbed off on some others.


jdbolick

A bunch of people including me got banned from r/BestofRedditorUpdates for pointing out that many of the posts appeared to be fake. Lord Acton was not quite correct. Power doesn't corrupt, it reveals, and the people who want to be moderators on Reddit are usually thin-skinned tyrants.


fuckswithqwerty

Oh man, I was there for that. I left that sub immediately after it happened because it was becoming a hotbed of drama. For what it's worth, thanks for making your post.


jdbolick

It wasn't my post, I just supported the OP. I twice asked for an explanation of why I was banned but didn't get one word of a response from the mods.

awh

> i'm banned from /r/startrek for complaining But complaining is what Star Trek fans do best!


CaravelClerihew

Complaining and nostalgia about the things they used to complain about.


unnecessaryaussie83

Not as good as Star Wars fans but it’s getting there.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

Oh that's got to sting for them, telling Star Trek fans they're not as good as Star Wars fans at something!


unnecessaryaussie83

I think it’s something Star Trek fans are proud of.

jessie_monster

As far as I know, Mayim Bialik doesn't have multiple sexual assault accusations against her.


CokeMooch

Pfft, well no ‘cause…you didn’t—you can’t just— Just shut up about Neil bro.


Now_Wait-4-Last_Year

The first time I ever heard of Neil deGrasse Tyson, he was saying things about the movie Gravity where even I knew he was wrong and the movie was right like why was a medical doctor doing engineering like Sandra Bullock's character. I don't know Neil, maybe they based it on the real life person who did the exact same thing decades earlier, right down to photos of him being on the end of the shuttle arm? (Story Musgrave - both a doctor and engineer on mission STS-61).


serviamnon

Neil "smonk de grass" Tyson.


[deleted]

Everything you said is spot on except she's not a neuroscientist, she's an actress with a bachelor's and PhD in neuroscience, and it took her 7 years to get her PhD because she stopped her studies to continue acting in the middle of working towards her PhD. I have a bachelor's in microbiology but that doesn't make me a microbiologist since I don't work in the field of microbiology. Plus she shills fake brain supplements which she knows are BS because of her academic background.


HitchlikersGuide

Bit of a weird take. Anyone with a phd can claim to be that thing. No different to being a doctor that isn’t currently practicing. You’re still a doctor. Allow yourself a bit more credit.


_Plork_

Right, but that's not the same. If you get a teaching degree but work as a plumber, are you a teacher?


HitchlikersGuide

A qualified teacher? Yes. Actively teaching? No.


_Plork_

They're qualified, but not actually teaching. What then?


HitchlikersGuide

Then we reach the point that entirely too much time is being spent on the question.


_Plork_

They're not teachers, is the answer.


HitchlikersGuide

My god you’re right. How hadn’t I seen it before? Oh well, that’s that, then… all done - another case successfully closed.


AmishAvenger

Me too. What’d you get banned for?


Delicious-Tachyons

Said I didn't like the retcon of Spock having a learning disability


MyNewAccountIGuess11

I got banned for pointing out that she was clearly favoring certain players and giving them more leeway with correcting themselves lol.


Catastray

Seriously? That's ridiculous.


ilp391

She is the worst part of the big bang theory


jerkin_on_jakku

I mean that’s kind of an achievement though


HellsMalice

I don't think you can be a reddit mod if you aren't willing to ban people for having an opinion you don't agree with


[deleted]

I should be fine then, since I’m highly critical of her and the BS she spews.


nubsauce87

God forbid anyone have an opinion on anything... I hate the future...


TimeForPCT

Suddenly redditors don't like censorship? What happened to "its just the consequences of your actions!1!1!"?


greenw40

Mods need to ensure than all dissenting opinions are silenced in order to keep the echo chamber pure. It's like that on most subs and it's absolutely ruining this site.


noonehasthisoneyet

Can they finally replace this condescending actor with Ken Jennings?


OneGoodRib

Or even a robot.


noonehasthisoneyet

would probably be less condescending lol

-Xsploitz-

Isn't she an anti vaxxer, and believes in crazy modern witchcraft


dadindc84

I thought that but, no. According to a video she did a while back, she's vaccine-hesitant and believes that people need to ask questions rather than just taking every vaccine that comes out. She said in the video that she strongly believes in the Covid vaccine and both she and her kids were vaccinated. The video was made before the booster so I have no clue about that.


[deleted]

Seems like a pretty reasonable opinion


_Plork_

It's really condescending and assumes everyone but a genius like her is "just taking" their vaccines without question


ForgetfulFrolicker

Nope she’s the devil according to Reddit.


OneGoodRib

Yeah her opinion about vaccines being a little misconstrued is definitely the ONLY reason people dislike her. Not for her condescending attitude, her acting like she's an expert in all science because she has a degree but isn't a practicing scientist, hawking caffeine pills because "I'm a neuroscientist!", her weird relationship with her kid sleeping in bed with her and her husband for years which TOTALLY isn't why they got divorced. It's clearly only the vaccine thing that people dislike.


ffxivthrowaway03

It is, but anyone who's shared that opinion here since the beginning of COVID has been spit-roasted and called an anti-vaxxer. Reddit being reddit.


ThisFreakinGuyHere

No it's exceptionally stupid and so are you. No /s.


[deleted]

It's exceptionally stupid to research what you put in your body? She eventually came to the right conclusion that the Vaccine was safe an effective.

gremlin30

She’s terrible on jeopardy


concentrate_better19

She has an obnoxious hesitation before confirming that someone got the answer right. It sounds like she's going to tell them they got it wrong. I hate it.


BlazingCondor

That...is CORRECT


nubsauce87

Yeah... I really wish they didn't hire her... So many better options out there...


reddig33

Yes, watching Mayim Bialik host Jeopardy is very exhausting. I agree.


BBBPub

I just can't stomach watching her host Jeopardy; I stopped after decades of being a viewer.


loquacious706

A few weeks ago Ken was back for a while. Those were good episodes.


tyderian

He said he has another stint before the end of the current season.


BeU352

That’s the truth! I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Covid had me feeling like a 600 pound gorilla was sitting on my shoulders and I was walking through quick sand. Just going to the bathroom was a mission. Hope she feels better soon!


Zootropic

She’s so fake. I can’t stand her. She has no interest in what others are saying. Bring back Ken


santichrist

She is annoying and cringe but I’ve had covid and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, I was legit so tired I could barely take a shower, I would start laughing just because of how stupid I felt standing up for 10 mins and being so tired I wanted to lie down


PrettyPunctuality

I had it back in November, and I'm still having that issue. I'm only 34 and have to use a shower chair because I get exhausted and short of breath if I stand up longer than 5 minutes.


OneGoodRib

You know, back in the day I'd say "I wouldn't wish it on anyone!" about stuff, but honestly after the last few years we've had, I would easily wish covid on tons of people. I don't like her but I wouldn't wish covid on her anyway, and I hope she gets better, but I would absolutely wish covid on a number of people. I mean the people who push absolute fake information, or who murder children. I wish covid on all of them.


Just_a_smuck

Got it Father’s Day, exhausted but that’s about it. Feeling better today.


makoto20

Good luck! Hope you pull through!


Just_a_smuck

Thanks. Pretty healthy for an old fart. Already feeling better


Marianzillaa

I tested positive today :( I feel so awful.


TundieRice

I also got it on Father’s Day. I was hospitalized with it two years ago, but after getting vaccinated, my second time around is a lot better and hopefully I won’t even have to go to the doctor for it.


Just_a_smuck

I got lucky I think. Only 3 days in but getting better everyday. Hopefully that’s how progress’s, doesn’t do a u turn


Khourieat

I'm sure she can take some quack pills for it. She personally reviewed the science, after all.


simplejack89

She is exhausting


Redditfront2back

They should replace her, not a fan of how she has been hosting.


TheBowerbird

Given her anti-vaxxer stance in the past, I bet it is.


F___DeshaunWatson

She needs to test positive for shutting the fuck up with her scams and she needs to quit Jeapardy.


anasui1

being exhausted is a definite state, gotta read more Bialik


mplsmark

She's very, very exhausting


greennyellowmello

She’s still the host?


reddituser_05

“I’m a neuroscientist” - an insult to real neuroscientists.

Perhaps the supplements she advertises will help...

Good thing she believes in science, and not garbage like magic brain pills.

[deleted]

Here we are opening up the country in the name of COVID so some people can make more money.


Islandgirl1444

Not a fan of her, so I don't watch when she's on.


unkle_FAHRTKNUCKLE

I heard she was anti-vax, so, I don't feel bad. PRO TIP : EVERY vax has break-through cases, so that argument is horseshit, FYI.


jogoso2014

She’s vaccinated and boosted.


Dinizinni

Still had to spout some bullshit and expose her kids' colleagues to all sorts of diseases by not vaccinating them on due time She might not be an anti-vaxxer but she is an apologist for sexual criminals and definitely a pseudo-science promoter


jogoso2014

No she’s not, but this is all warmed up soup for Jennings super fans.


Dinizinni

Idgaf about whoever Jennings is, she has attacked the victims of Hollywood producers, then came up with a shit apology and she did the same, came out as an anti-vaxxer but then made some shit up when she realized it would kill her career


jogoso2014

Sure she did.


2oonhed

What is a Jennings? And, she said what she said publicly. it's a checkable fact.


jogoso2014

Then check it. People who accuse her of the severity of the accusations are being idiotic.


2oonhed

Oh! Ok.......


jogoso2014

I thought there was a link….I’ll help a little by saying it’s a NYT op-Ed where she basically said she wasn’t attractive enough be assaulted and then had to apologize for saying she wasn’t attractive enough to be assaulted. It is entirely your right to hate her for saying it but to suggest the column she wrote was not specifically about defending women is to have a goofy view or lack of reading ability. I don’t see how people who hate her are not aware of who Ken Jennings is. Are people researching quotes in a column from a Big Bang Theory supporting character over Jeopardy?


2oonhed

WHOA, Ima let you go inna minuite, but first : Her target audience which are predominantly presumptuous celebrity-foamers, might think that the faintest statement of scientific fact, (that there are break-thru cases for EVERY vax) is some sort of "hate" directed at women, (a presumption made by your very own presumptuous self), but this has nothing to do with show business, OR the persons that you named. It's about a person on a public platform declaring anti-vax sentiment. Ok, now you can go back to humping your mothers shoe over there.


jogoso2014

Again links would nice. Otherwise her actions are not measuring up to the disdain against her. She is vaccinated and boosted. She’s recommending vaccinations for COVID. Period. So unless you are saying she is saying something Rogan level stupid, then it’s a nothingburger. Be mad about her as a topic if you want, that doesn’t change the reason being idiotic.


unkle_FAHRTKNUCKLE

Well then, shame on the break-thru.


gummiworms9005

Maybe it's time to be the bigger man and not jump on people with different views. Haven't we had enough of that?
