Imo it’s not just that Up sucks without the first 10 min, it’s that the last 90% of the movie is aimless, emotionless, and feels unnecessary. Like the first 10 min should have been a pre-film short that they drew out because it was too de

Learning to do this formally in a college philosophy/logic class broke my brain in the best way and drastically altered the kind of person I became from that point on. For context: I came from a religious family which had trained me no

There’s a lot to unpack here, but just to touch on a few issues with this premise: 1) If men were simply trying to protect women from unpleasantness, there would be no need to ban women from additive things like education, property ownershi

Historically, women have been barred from pursuing education, from voting, from making their own medical decisions, from holding political/academic/religious/scientific positions of power, from controlling their own finances,

I’m of the same mindset as you. I’m amazed at people who can tolerate even 30 minutes of “normal” exercise, because every time I try to lift weights or go running, my brain is screaming at me the entire time to please for the love of god fi

You could probably turn those questions right around on people: have they meditated “enough” recently? Are they getting 8 hours of sleep and going outside regularly? My bet is that they’re not, and yet if they’re not depressed… well may

I was the records retention lead for a bank for a few years. Deletion projects are also conducted to reduce storage costs, but yes, ensuring that you’re not retaining unnecessary information that you could be subpoenaed on is a large factor

How do you handle long-term tasks that are painful to do? Things that you don’t want to do in the moment, but which have a payoff you want?

I used to be in your position. What broke the cycle for me was that my SO realized how anxious I would get every time I had to make a phone call, so he assigned all phone-related household tasks to me until I lost the phobia via exposure&#x

A thoughtful and enjoyable read; thank you for sharing!

Seemingly, “skin in the game” is only assurance against getting scammed, not incompetence.

I used to have this attitude and regret losing good friends over it. It’s too easy to be independent these days, and, if you’re naturally introverted like me, too easy to neglect friendships due to self-reliance. I’m gradually learning to r

Yes, and if their motivation disappears after they’ve been instructed on the less feel-good more difficult intervention, then they’re fair game for ridicule

I’m no psychologist, but from what I’ve read it’s inherently damaging to be raised in a dysfunctional family, and that’s more likely to lead to another dysfunctional generation. People from supportive families may not naturally be the most

My concern isn’t that I’ll be seen by one person, but that the recording will be shared with innumerable others.

I was recently in the same position. Did a full wardrobe replacement (majority secondhand, so not as insane as it sounds). It’s amazing how much better I feel! I’ve never been one to care much about clothes/fashion, but now I feel like

Do you have any advice on making the repairing process less painful? I’ve learned to repair things here and there: home, auto, woodwork, sewing, etc. and so I’ll make a repair purely out of the sense of obligation not to create waste. But I

“Sorry, I need to focus on something right now. Try asking [person]” Or if I’m already on DND? Ignore, and create an appointment for later.

I like to wear lots of colors, funky jewelry and patterns, bright pink lipstick. Friends have compared the look to Ms. Frizzle (the original). Combined with a generally chipper personality, it’s often not well-received by fellow engineers.

It seems they were describing the culture, not the clothing, as “toxically masculine.”

As a tech person who doesn’t fit “the look,” I hate that it’s become such a cultural signal. It’s rarely fun watching people react with surprise (doubt) when you tell them your occupation (if they give you the opportunity to chime in at all

Does this make anyone else hungry for a burger and a beer? The interior reminds me of the many brewery/restaurants that have come up in town over the past few years.

You can also read Western comics about cowboys dueling in shootouts, but that’s not a legitimate or relevant aspect of American culture. Be careful about assumptions drawn from manhwa

I understand the motivation behind this argument, but I haven’t seen compelling evidence that mental health issues are the “cause” and weapon availability is the “symptom.” There are mentally ill people all over the world, many of whom atte

Ah, I see we’ve talked past each other. I was speaking to the policy-making angle. I don’t have any good ideas about how to get the policy issues fixed while avoiding scaring the kids. I doubt that’s even possible, tbh. But yes, let’s smash

But in other developed countries, kids still die from car crashes and swimming pools. It’s less of a “one is too many” argument for me and more a question of “if everyone else is able to get this right, how the hell are we getting it so wro

I would think if the US had routine bus fatality counts an order of magnitude larger than other countries, then yes, that would be cause to be alarmed about student bus fatalities in the US as well.

Man, I don’t know what to say. 32 student deaths from on-campus shootings in a single year still seems outrageously high to me.
