For what it's worth I never thought a great deal of reading journal articles. Annoying much of the time. Much prefer blogs and informal writing where people try to keep it simple rather than make it as messy as possible.
I agree, trying to go through a full chemical journal is boring, since they try to fill it with some nonesense to make it look better and more technically sound but it ends up being messy and they lose the plot. They tend to do too many things at once which result in having med. There are specific journals are quality such as Science, Nature, JACS, and etc. The rest is mostly mediocre and not worth reading

I didn't even know they were still playing

Asif changed my av over the weekend and I have no motivation to change it back to something meaningful and significant
I hear you.

I don't know what it's like in chemistry but in my field often it's about demonstrating some idea in code. Except the code is never the publication, they never even hand it in. By analogy, imagine a long math proof where someone wrote an article showing snippets of it here and there, then if you actually try to use that work you have to somehow piece it together yourself, hoping it will even work. Pathetic.

Fuck I wish I stayed home or I didn't eat that junk food from out, it seems it fucked my stomach and my hand is all red with balloons on it. I feel like a pregnant woman ready to :yuck:

This not fun, it's either you publish it all in the right way with all results and discussion or don't bother.
In chemistry, you do an experiment, whether making a novel compound or studying an existant compound for specific applications. People usually publish all details on the experiment. The problem is that the results are usually not more than one page but for some reason the paper is almost 5-6 pages, and they scatter things all over the place. The less famous journals, sometimes have mistakes in reported experimental procedures and results, since editors don't bother and you end trying to make a compound using a specific reported recipe that would never work since it's wrong.
