If you call it out before it happens, they call you alarmist. If you point it out afterwards, they’ve already normalized it
They’re not engaging with facts. That’s a whole other plane that doesn’t intersect. It’s just feelings and in-group.
When you point it out early, you’re disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected. When you point it out after… You’re still disparaging the in-group so that must be rejected.
That’s all there is to it.
Yeah some mods on some instances give real pearl clutching vibes.
Yeah, true. Too much jury nullification of any sort means you’re systems are failing. Not good for a society.
Ehh kind of. But, you know, nullification is when the laws say they’re guilty but the jury says no. Typically because the laws are unjust. But there’s an opposite where the laws might say they’re innocent, but the jury says guilty because the laws are also unjust.
What’s the opposite of jury nullification?
I didn’t get one because it’s too expensive.
Steam deck was a little pricey but it has a backlog of games going back like 50 years, and I already have a large library. Plus the games are cheaper.
I don’t like listening to podcasts but they provide the full transcript, which was a good read.
I’ve sent this to many coworkers.
I wanted to introduce a jar where every time you sent a useless “hello” message you had to put double whatever you put in last time (starting at $1). People are empty headed idiots maybe losing +$1000 will wake them up.
Every Republican that leaves office, by whatever means, is good for the world.
I wouldn’t mind ads on streaming media if they were limited to a few seconds at the start and end, and had some constraints (eg: no volume tricks to sound louder). Just a calm voice saying “This episode brought to you by WidgetCo. The best in Widgets. [logo] [url]” over a neutral color. That’d be fine. But the hunger for profit can never be sated, so it’s longer, more obvious ads more frequently forever. So they can all get fucked. I won’t watch at all.
This seems like an obvious improvement and I kind of want everyone who thought otherwise to be banned from working in decision making roles.
Or when you get past where you can coast (calc 2 for me) you realize you don’t really know how to learn and study. It didn’t ruin my self image but I did change majors.
Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.
People believe based on feelings, not facts. That’s all it is.
Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.
A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.
I (cis man) always fully close the toilet when it’s not in use. Never would occur to me to do otherwise.
Some of my women friends leave the seat down lid open, but then their cats drink out of the toilet.
s it possible for Chic-fil-a to ever redeem itself in your eyes?
I honestly haven’t been following them.
Did they ever admit fault? That’s big for me. An explicit “we were wrong”
Expected more people arguing about dark souls in here. There’s usually a contingent of people going at it over “I want to win on the first or maybe second try” vs “the game is about failing repeatedly until you persevere”
Even in the capitalist hellscape of tech startups, we have like a frontend group that makes decisions about the front end code that’s separate from the entire engineering org. Likewise there’s one for the backend, for devops concerns, and so on.
Some orgs are disorganized and require a lot of vertical approval steps, but that’s not an inherent nature of committee
Like CEOs taking credit for all the work their engineers did.
