Off-topic, but there's one funny thing about psychiatric clinics. Waiting rooms are completely silent. Everywhere else, patients (especially elderly) won't shut up about their pains and treatments.

There is a Philip K. Dick short story where practically everyone does. I don't remember its name. The topic of therapy commonly came up in his short stories and novels.

In Poland, a study from 2017 found that: * 58% of population thinks they don't pay the VAT tax * 21% of population thinks they pay no taxes at all https://www.bankier.pl/wiadomosc/21-proc-Polakow-uwaza-z

According to Yanis Varoufakis, politicians these days are not so smart anymore because the best, youngest and brightest realize the true power is in finance. He also said bankers have figured out a way to use money to buy laws and use laws

Last time I checked, "Caster of Magic" is a mod for Master of Magic. It's based on the fan-made patch 'insecticide', by kyrub. Insecticide is very conservative about gameplay changes. I don't know about CoM (I

While playtesting kyrub's 'insecticide' patch, we found an amusing bug. The Invulnerability spell is impossible to dispel! It's the last on the list of spells, and suffers from the off-by-one bug. This is why Guardian Sp

I think the problem is the ability to interoperate. Big walled garden owners have no obvious interest in letting other people link in and OUT of their network. But anything in the network is interoperable by default. I think to fight someth

Good question. It's nice that we're finally starting to measure computation energy costs.

Or you need to be clever and restrained with it. For instance, in a 1 vs 1 scenario - and I mean species, not players - it plays out more less like I outlined it above. But the equation changes if another player has 2+ potential prey specie

Someone should make a video game about that. You play as the devil and construct bridges!

That would be best, but in an effort to save space they don't make frequent snapshots.

I think it goes against common Polish mentality. Consensus is rare. Compromise is often called a "rotten compromise", there's a concept of "having right" which implies only one person. Swedes have a phrase "Pol

"Evolution" has a bit of a problem with carnivores. It's easier to protect against carnivores than to build a cost-effective carnivore. You need to pay 2 cards to have species that can eat another species (one for Carnivore t

My favourite bits were: 1. A statement that they still didn't figure everything out, but they finally had something important: a decision. 2. When they repaired a boat they found, and Moominpappa said it doesn't matter that they

I tried to nail down just what makes me like Moomin(trolls) so much, and I think it's the sense of wonder and mystery. Some things are partially explained at best, but you don't get an impression it's mystery for mystery&#x27

Agree. Law mechanisms can be abused. In Poland we had a case where a shoplifter (Stanisław Belski) was caught stealing coffee and sentenced. Security and the owner tossed a couple extra items into his bag to get him over a threshold so he q

I think it's a systemic problem. A problem with incentives. Once the site gets big enough, inevitable pressure builds up in the top management to squeeze more money. Top of the hierarchy naturally attracts psychopathic and narcissistic

I've been pondering this idea. STEAL IT! Build a service that only hosts comments that were deleted from popular sites. Then for any given youtube channel or company review you'd be able to check what kinds of comments are deleted

Yup, I saw her comparing borderline to CPTSD. She talks about avoidant personality disorder, paranoia, antisocial, and obsessive-compulsive.

Dr Grande has a very good channel and it's hard to find a flaw in it. I guess it's relatively unexciting - until you hear him talk about guns. In my opinion there's a narcissism epidemic going on. Charisma is seen not just as

by b0rsuk 6y ago
Charisma, and physical beauty, give people power over you. And we know power corrupts. Few can resist the temptation! Few are conscious enough to know they're getting preferential treatment. It doesn't have to be on purpose, it ca

As far as I'm concerned charisma is like heavy perfume or cologne that someone wears when they don't take a shower. It's probably covering something else. -- dr Ramani Durvasula, licensed clinical psychologist https:/

I think side projects are for fun and potentially for impressing technical reviewers in stage 3. Soft skills are for impressing recruiters. During the recruiter phase, they're not going to understand the projects anyway. The only value

I think a better analogy here might be Citizen Kane. From a foreigner's perspective, Citizen Kane is a (very) good movie but really nothing special. I enjoyed Rashomon a lot more. However, Rashomon was clearly inspired by it. To really
