Girls are much more likely to be socialized to mask before the parents or children have a clue that's what's happening. Boys are much more likely to be allowed to "express themselves," act out, etc.

The really rough part is that while the Democratic Party in the US is a weak slightly-left-of-center party, the Labour Party in the UK is basically a right-of-center party with decreasing amounts of daylight between them and the Tories. In

No, that's probably true. That's where the last part of my post applies: this is rarely a conscious application of the Protestant work ethic, and more just the way it has shaped our culture to say that rest for rest's sake,

The major root of this is the Protestant work ethic, which leads very directly to the idea that your only value on this earth is the work that you do. So any time you are spending resting is, effectively, sinful. Most people don't put

Oh, the attack itself absolutely comes from the right! The bland rebrands are 100% a product of right-wing corporate America trying to maximize profits at the expense of everything else. I think my point is just that while you're right

You are very clearly being sarcastic, but the only reason that UBI like this wouldn't work in the scenario being described is because the already-mega-wealthy owners of the AGI hardware and software decide that they want to have all

They did—but their purpose was 100% to lend support to the American right wing. I think it's fairly disingenuous to characterize that as "fanning the flames on both sides of the political spectrum."

While I don't entirely disagree here, it is very much the case that the kind of "Americana nostalgia" that Cracker Barrel's once and future look epitomizes is much more something that the American right cares about tha

If a particular app only demonstrates this undesirable behavior when the phone is paired with a particular subset of headphones (or other hardware), then Apple may never notice it in App Review.

Because the user's device, providing the user's data to the user's Meta headphones, via a Meta app, can then record all the time and exfiltrate all that recorded data to Meta. Or whatever other shady company wants to make hea

This is a very complex question. Part of the answer is that they think the surveillance will be magically omniscient, because it's technology they don't understand. Part of the answer is that they think that if there's a tool

And this is because individual property rights must not be sacrosanct in a civilized society. We already have a number of rules of what you can and can't do with your private property that I think most people agree on. You can't
