Facebooks whole shtick is making you feel like your being social. In reality you are partaking in the most superficial 'fast food' social needs scratching imaginable. This causes people to become addicted to a constant stream of u

Yeah, scientific consensus is a valuable thing. It just means "oh like a lot of probably smart people who looked at this issue rigorously mostly agree" and that is pretty much as close to truth as we have.

Big fan of standardization as a principle over here. Even if the technology in question isn't the best, if its adequate I become an advocate as soon as its near being a standard. More use of common and inexpensive things and more stand

Apologies that was an attempt at humor.

Sick now I have something to blame for my chronic lying, thus clearly releasing me from any blame for my own mis-deeds. All makes sense to me though, I felt severe pressure for fitting into what I perceived as my 'role' growing up

Ah the internet. Where descriptions of outlandish bizarre groups of people must be prepended with "of course".

I severely doubt that anything like that is feasible. Lie detectors don't really work so well too, afaik.

Being good at cooking makes it hard not to be a buzzkill sometimes at restaurants. My friends will be all excitedly praising a place and I'm just sitting there mad about how much I paid for something I could have done better myself.

This is very interesting thanks for sharing, but I am not sure if it totally kills my point. I assumed face was isolated from clothing/hairstyle/background already, but believed facial expression (etc) was the main thing being loo

This particular algorithm is being talked about heavily in the gayer parts of the internet, and I keep telling everyone precisely this. This is interesting in as far as it shows that, in the context of trying to attract a partner, gay and s

Tribalism is harder to avoid than just recognizing it, much harder. I think you underappreciate how incredibly emotional irrational creatures we all are, and how much how we behave is informed by cognitive biases.

This is so sad. I found the quote "one way to destroy a culture, with lots of white paint" very poignant. Institutions everywhere increasingly seem to want to just make everything bland and safe.

I taught every single person I was on a group project with git, all the way up through senior year. My familiarity with it came from a damn hackathon of all places. It's actually gross how source control was just not a concept taught a

Unrelated, but as someone who has experienced much distress over what my parents would be 'happy for me to be' I find that language super creepy. DEFINITELY not trying to attack you or even suggest that what I am about to say is t

I only use the word obvious for sarcasm. Nothing is obvious without domain knowledge.

This trying to brag thing becomes a race to the bottom quickly. You should be allowed to talk about things you did which may in fact be seen in a positive light.

Looks like solid life advice but 3b could use exercise thrown in.

Feeling guilt over a sense of complaining about nothing has been a recurring theme for me. It is almost impossible to get people to understand problems that don't impede traditional 'success'.

I don't think being a people-pleaser inherently works against making satisfaction factors completely your own. For me my motivation and desires are completely unrelated to the standard 'pop' model of success you allude to. Bu

In past this was how I thought, and still is to a large degree and think smarter people is the core, but I do see ways in which regulation can create real positive change. Specifically on the issue of say, how companies are allowed to marke

I have not been here long, but my current company has absolutely no culture of shaming code. People do some pretty egregious things, and not just in terms of adherence to style, and their work is still lauded if it runs fast.

Seems like we should make another go at trying to structure this whole "society" thing for the good of everyone from where I am sitting.

Quick "I have no idea how plants work" question, would a more carbon rich atmosphere promote faster growth?

Seconded in general. One of my "things" I endlessly bore friends and family over is how absurd and harmful the overwhelmingly prevalent left vs right world view is. People need to escape this line of thought, when you do its pret

Yeah the full on audiophile stuff is mostly nonsense as far as I can tell, but my god I do not understand how so very many people put up with those crappy apple earbuds as there primary sound playback. The difference with a proper set of he

Eh, I think it is more a problem with "broad umbrellas" and simple labels being inherently incapable of accurately describing something as complex as ones own politics, rather than lack of self judgement. I know precisely what my

I loved lost and hate it in hindsight. Fake/dishonest complexity is a great description of what was wrong with it, I just didn't realize that was the case until halfway through the final season.
