Because Fascism doesn’t care about truth or reason
- Comment on [Video] Cops not sure whether to arrest man with "Plasticine Action" shirt for supporting terrorism 1 week ago:
They aren’t saying anything. The UK criminalized pro-Palestinian slogans in public. Namely the “Support Palestine Action” slogan. This guy has a shirt that says “Support Plasticene Action” which, notably, does not reference Palestine at all though the words have an aesthetic similarity to the Palestine slogan. So the pigs are trying to see if they can arrest him for hate speech or not.

Death’s Door on switch. It’s a cute little soulslike where you play a crow who reaps souls. It has good gameplay and a nice style.
- Comment on Companies are monitoring and enforcing office attendance at the highest rate in 5 years 2 weeks ago:
It’s especially ironic because they aren’t that concerned about absenteeism in the sense of “people skipping out on work”. They’re concerned about people doing the requisite amount of work in a different place than the company would prefer
- Comment on Peter Thiel’s bestie going mask off 3 weeks ago:
What he “means” to the extent this isn’t just a shock value post meant to allow him to get a lot of responses before moving the goalposts & also to get a lot of nazis to like him more, is that:
-
The epithet he used is a racist one used to describe how people who come from a poor background act once they get some money - often on flashy displays of wealth, but not often on investments/ensuring their wealth grows and lasts into the future.
-
he is saying American billionaires fit that epithet because of how they spend their money. He calls them N*s because of how they spend money, not because they are black - he is not under the illusion that most billionaires are black.
-
he’s saying they spend their money in foolish ways. He would prefer they spend their money abolishing the neoliberal state and replacing it with a neo-feudal monarchical system that makes all these billionaires literal feudal lords with fiefdoms. For him, this is the end-goal of wealth and the ideal societal state.

This dude sucks so much. And everything I’ve ever read about him makes him seem like the most annoying kind in philosophy class who thinks he’s smart but is actually a dumbass.

It really depends, but ultimately a lot of social interactions can only happen between two people at once. Say you and your wife get into a fight. Instead of fighting it out & making up. She now has the option to stop fighting you and go hang out with your co-husband - and you aren’t invited. She also has the option to emotionally strong arm you to get her way by not only stonewalling you/withholding affection, but also by threatening to push you out of your marriage for another guy who literally lives with you both.
You’d need to have a lot of trust in your wife - she’d need to have a tremendous amount of emotional stability and be non-manipulative. She’d suddenly have a lot more power in the relationship in a very inequitable way.
My wife and I are very into monogamy. But she has a serious temper and can be very manipulative when she’s angry (she’s gotten better about this, but it’s a known issue). It’d be very easy for her to do something hurtful. I’m not talking about sex, just the emotional threat of turning to someone else for relief from me - and the implied threat of pushing me out.

Sorry that happened. I get relatively minor tinnitus, but these exercises have helped. Dude’s a chiropractor, but this particular stuff is not chiropractic and is legit. The thing that helps me is the palms on ears and drumming with fingers on the back of your head (like 50% through the video or so)

I have gone off a few times over the years and didn’t experience many side effects/withdrawals, but that is definitely not always the case - I’ve heard that it reeeaaally does not work for some people. Ymmv

If you have depression anxiety and find that Prozac (an ssri) doesnt work well, you might consider something that directly works on dopamine - like Buproprion (brand name = wellbutrin, a NDRI, norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor).

- Comment on F.D.A. to Use A.I. in Drug Approvals to ‘Radically Increase Efficiency’ 2 months ago:
This could be a good use of AI. Since this regime is doing it, it probably won’t be. But, ML has been used for a while to help identify new drug compounds, find interactions, etc. It could be very useful in the FDA’s work.
The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective uses some software from MIT ASKCOS that uses neural networks to help identify reactions and retrosynthesis chains to produce chemical compounds.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 months ago:
I guess, if they answer “No” or “Yeah your simple rebuttal has made me realize the problem of free will is nbd actually”.
But if they say “Yes. It does matter.” Then suddenly it isn’t defeated and you’d need to provide a compelling argument for it not mattering.
- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 2 months ago:
Depends on your goals. I’d say learn the one you have the most use for personally. If you don’t have a use and are just learning for fun, then pick the most interesting one. If you’re learning intending to acquire the language as quickly as possible, then either Italian or French would be good choices.
I am learning Chinese (mandarin, aka 汉语, aka 普通话) and I personally find it very logical, interesting, and fun as a native english speaker who used to be conversationally fluent in Spanish. There are definite difficulties with the language (soooooo many homonyms, characters (汉子) take some getting used to, tones, etc) but if you learn it, there is a lot of reading material and media that will become accessible to you. Also, I think that it provides more cognitive benefits necause of how different it is to romance languages (for native speakers of romance languages).
汉语是很酷。我推荐你！

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 4 months ago:
I largely analyze data and create software to automate business tasks. This allows people in my company to make informed decisions about the business, how money is or should be spent, who & where to hire people, etc. And then I present that data in a way they can understand.
This might mean creating forecasts. Automating data analysis with reports. Building data sources (gathering and manipulating data from different places and compiling it). Building interactive software or excel sheets for non-technical users.
I use excel, google sheets, google app script (basically javascript), tableau, python, and SQL.

Science is proof that 99/100 people who think that if there was a knowledge-based magic system irl, then they’d learn it and be a mage is in denial.
We legit have magic that you just have to learn & then can do all sorts of cool stuff, be it chemistry or computer science, and people pretty routinely do not give a shit about learning it themselves.
