Because as far as self-help books go, the vast majority, that one included (sorry), don't even register as anything close to worthy. Here's 3 that are actually worth your time: 1. The Body Keeps the Score; 2. CPTSD: From Surviving

Let me turn that around to answer your question: Why isn't the technology behind SMS used for internet?

I read these rationalizations a lot. "What college degrees teach you mostly is how to think." "We miss the actual point which was learning to memorize." "Playing chess teaches you how to plan and think." Well n

As a previous new hire who got into a new job during full blown Covid, I had no problem whatsoever building a good relationship with my colleagues. Regular routines were setup, the team communicated frequently. Frequent calls. Eventually mM

They can, but then change the name and any implication that it is somehow more of what we got before (Lord of the Rings). Or clearly state it is only based on it, but has actually nothing to do with the original work, only draws inspiration

Too bad for people "all over the world that want to live in it" when said country has sovereignty and can vote to prevent locals to be displaced by them. People of each country decide what is fair or not, not people outside of it.

Yep. Gotta love even more cars and people / m2, as if traffic wasn't bad enough as it is. Some people really just think the solution is to cram more people into an already overflowing place. And please don't compare with SF o

How can you seriously think it's OK to push the native population out of their own countries' most desirable cities... The place most of them were born, that their parents fought for (politically/through work), and worked to

This is what a revolution looks like when it is happening. Did you learn about the "Industrial revolution" or the "agricultural revolution" in class? That didn't take a week, or a year, or a decade to happen. Even t

Or like Honda Jazz/Fit 2000-2006. They achieved perfection for a A to B car there.

Corruption is a human ingrained need for trickery to gain advantage of potential gene competition. It is ubiquitous for humans and increases with perceived genetic difference, up to a maximum.

We need to change human genes. That's the best long term way out of this. Corruption is just gene trickery. "Best for me, not for thee". Unless "thee" is genetically related. Unbelieavable wealth and seeking power i

"The West". As if we're all one block, a single minded hive. Corrupted, degraded by a heavy capitalistic and egotistical mindset. It's fascinating to see and talk about our shortcomings isn't it? We are so inferior.

Why do you need security updates so often and so bad? I dont know what websites or apps you install, but normally there shouldn't be any problems with normal use even without security updates. And even then, you can always install a cu

I find that a bit weird tbh. I mean, if we look at human tribes throughout the world/history, and even what is the most common nowadays in african tribes which maintain their dressing habits, they usually cover their genitals. It indic

I agree with your points, just not with the racism. The color of people's skin, age and sexuality has nothing to do the problem, even if they correlate. Please stop the hate on a specific subgroup based on things they didn't choos

Just because he said it in this way doesn't mean you can't think for yourself and realize that it also has a philosophical basis. You are a human. You are capable of your own independent thoughts and conclusions which are as valid

What's working is that they have basically monopolies. Hard not to make money when there's no competition.

They choose who to accept based on their shared accounts (linkedin, instagram, etc).

Prompt "engineering" will last a couple of years, until the UI improves to the point any dummy can do it, just like with instagram filters.

There should be sociopathy/narcissim/lack of empathy screenings early in life, and people scored based on it. Based on that jobs would be limited/encouraged. Put sociopaths in jobs where impact is limited.

Then maybe a range could be a good idea? "Publication date: Likely sometime between 1597-1609."

There's one cause that is really hard to detect (unless you're informed about it) and that I suspect is behind a lot of people with depression. In fact it took me decades, and only by chance did I realise what it was: Emotional ab

And you forgot maybe the most important, common and often overlooked one: ADHD that is emotional trauma-induced.

Did the ADHD cause CPTSD or the CPTSD that you might already have from childhood neglect/trauma that you're not aware of/dismiss/paint as "not too bad" manifests itself as ADHD? Distraction from pain is one of

I can take an online course and start a job in SE in 6 months. Good luck doing that for another engineering field. Cmon... it is definitely easier. It's easier to start, it's easier to develop. With many other engineering courses
