This is kinda sad to hear because I think it's more-or-less an immutable fact that, barring disabilities/injuries, anyone can do pushups if they try every day for just a few weeks, and then you'd be off to the races. Actually

I think if a story gives you a sense of wonder when you're young, it's a good story, even if it seems cheesy later. Probably the reason it doesn't later is that you saw so many things like that when you were young and they do

(a controversial opinion I hold which relates to this: one of the reason everyone else is masking so well, and therefore why everything seems so confusing, is that they're on drugs. Either psychiatric drugs, like SSRIs, or recreational

Oh yes I agree that they don't want to My feeling is that this arrangement is massively negative for people and since we ostensibly live in a democracy we should fix it and they can go fuck themselves.

I can't shake the feeling that the whole ontology here is subtly-yet-totally wrong. Sure: all of the symptoms and conditions here are real; the characterization of the conditions is true; the categorization of people into "those w

Confidence does not come from finding the right words. Confidence comes from saying it confidently--basically, from knowing that you mean it, and that if questioned about what you mean you will have followups and answers. Basically from ass

... What is going on? Yes, that's what it means, that's why I used it. Notice it does not say 'lie' or anything directly synonymous with lying. It's related, sure, but not the same. You can tell that it's not s

No... I called it disingenuous. I didn't use the word lie because that's not what I meant. The inference 'disingenuous = lie' is false.

That is probably what they mean by specifying that they compose. If all you know is that you have two mappings you don't know they compose, until you get the additional information about their sources and targets. In a way that's

as others have noted, you seem to be unaware of what exactly the fallacy refers to. You might want to look it up. It is not "citing an authority at all" but rather "citing an authority's opinion as though it were logical

yes they do. for one thing you do not make the rules around here; no one cares what you think counts as suitable grounds for arguing. For another, yes, authority has some merit. Doesn't make it fact, but certainly the prior we ought to

by ajkjk 1y ago
appeals to authority have some merit, you know. I for one appreciated the clarification that it was not mainstream, since sneaking a random controversial take into a comment thread as if it was fact without noting that it's contentious

I don't think so. Something very particular happened that year, financially. That was the year the covid stimulus haze wore off and everyone started talking about inflation and grocery prices and layoffs, was it not? I guess my full th

Isn't that everyone's experience? TeX is a nightmare. It predates all standards for sensible software.

wait, is your point that there is some mystery about what happened to make the US even less happy? ... what didn't happen? It's hard to think of anything good that has happened in the last few years. Every month is scarier and mor

I see the general philosophy that people should not protest their indignities as leading to a culture where it is weird to do so which is why it is so hard for everyone to do it---nobody around them does it. There is supposed to be a baseli

well since the revolution in question is one where the company you're working for becomes attendant to its employees' dignity, I imagine you would keep working the same job under a new CEO and board (the old ones being forced out

In fact I remember now that I have had a manager who followed this exact advice: they'd agree with you about what was right and wrong in private, but do nothing, or very little, in public. It was infuriating. I didn't quit over it

Well, this advice is all tailored towards "how to keep your job and make your money as a leader when the vibes are off". But I and almost everyone else would prefer the question you're asking to be "how to start the revo

brute force search can still be limited in the states it can reach. If there's some limitation on the types of moves you can make, which presumably there is, then you're limited to states that have paths between them.
