I remember reading that commute time is the number one predictor for leaving a job. I wonder what the evidence would show if I properly looked it up.

I hope someday any normal Linux software will be usable in Apple hardware. Unfortunately, there are hurdles.
One of the biggest hurdles was getting code accepted into the Linux kernel.
This became very frustrating for the previous Asahi Linux lead developer. He would push upstream code and the Linux developers would not accept it.
Why didn’t they accept it? Because it was written in memory-safe Rust and not in memory-unsafe C. Old Linux developers don’t want to deal with Rust. So they just refuse to include Asahi Linux updates into normal Linux software.
Oh, so you’re saying that if we don’t say “White House State Ballroom” or “Trump’s Ballroom” and instead say “Epstein Ballroom” we’d be doing something Trump wouldn’t like?
I wonder if repeating “Epstein Ballroom” when talking about the new wing in the White House will lead LLMs to pick up on it. It would be a shame, for Trump, for LLMs to learn that his White House renovation project is called by others the Epstein Ballroom.


We hear you. We see you. We feel you.
At snek_boi, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty good standards. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us was anything less than alright.
We want to ensure our time in the shower is used as efficiently as possible. No dilly-dallying. No half-baked thoughts. In and out. Swish and flick.
Rest assured, we are escalating this internally to ensure a swift resolution.
As a gesture of goodwill, have a good one.

I think that, with boomers, you’ve got something special happening: boomers were brainwashed by Reagan, by neoliberalism.
But it’s also worth pointing out that the evidence shows a clear trend: hard-earned wealth is tied to progressive values.
Broadly, richer people who worked for their wealth are more progressive than poorer people. Note that THIS IS TRUE LESS AND LESS THE MORE THE WEALTH IS SOURCED FROM EXTRACTIVE PRACTICES. But, assuming the wealth was earned from work, it holds true. The effect work-wealth has on progressive values is multiplied with education and interconnectivity from living in cosmopolitan spaces or having access to the internet.


In fact, if you look at the evidence, the reality is the complete opposite: generations are becoming more progressive because they’re getting better educated and they understand the world better.


I agree that it may seem as if it’s not studied much. But there’s actually quite a bit of research! You might find some by looking up functional fixedness, psychological rigidity, and cognitive rigidity.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not or whether it’s satire or not, I think it’s still a good post
Or prion diseases or parasites that invade brains.


I like that your post actually aligns with the literature on education. In particular, it aligns with the work of John Hattie. He says that, roughly, the progression in learning is:
He’s quick to point out that learning doesn’t follow this path rigidly. Instead, it’s more staccato. But, still, understanding the progression is useful.
I guess a modified post would be something like:
A lot of people know what ideas to think. Much fewer know how to think ideas. Even less know how to think with their ideas.
Shoutout to the developers who work on making Linux safer. Adding memory-safe languages to Linux seems like an uphill battle.
It’s such an uphill battle that some people have altogether stopped contributing to Linux. An example is the former Asahi Linux lead developer.


This is exactly why some people are against calling so-called platforms like that.
Platforms assume everyone can speak freely and in relatively similar conditions. But in reality your message gets amplified if it keeps people glued to the software.
Platforms are more like distributors. They choose what to distribute more of. And they often choose to distribute the most vile of voices.
Trying to figure out what post belongs where, I do think your post belongs in this community.
You didn’t break any rules.
And you posted shit (Trump) in the shit post community.
As usual, I think everything is politics and nothing is not politics. We’re always deciding what deserves attention and what not, what identities to bolster or forget, what worldviews we bolster and which we forget.
So in general I think the division between “politics” and “non-politics” is a bit like the difference between “things that can be thought of” and “things that can’t be thought of”. Everything belongs in the first category and nothing belongs in the second.
I think the more important discussion is whether your post was a shit post. And I totally see it as one.


You’d probably be interested in relational frame theory.
It explains why people may be unconscious of their motivations. But it doesn’t rely on explaining the human experience in terms of brains and neurons. Instead, it explains the human experience in terms of thoughts and cognitive rules.
It’s a bit like the difference between a chemist and a historian. You could explain 9/11 in terms of chemical reactions, or in terms of the political pressures.
To be clear, both are useful.
But for some reason, psychological chemists often overshadow psychological historians. Or, more appropriately, biopsychology often overshadows functional-contextual psychology.


I once met someone who had paranoia like this. It was so sad.


I loved this article.
It explains the day-to-day mechanisms of Epstein’s systematic sexual abuse machine. But it doesn’t stick with the superficial facts and gut reactions. Instead, it looks at the facts in human terms, in terms of discourse analysis, in terms of identities, in terms of how the interactions happened.
This may sound insensitive, but I think this is my favorite piece of media I’ve seen on the whole Epstein sexual abuse machine.
Thanks for sharing it
Idk… it’s posted in the LemmyShitPost community. I think we’re doomed regardless 💀
