Twitch is hardly pure brain rot, there are plenty of things worse, but the growth and commercialization of streaming have created a lot of problems for parts of the platform. There is some really amazing content on there and as far as I hav

You can get A-frame assembly materials for much, much less. Not exactly sure who this is marketed to, unless they are going for people looking to Airbnb these things out for absurd amounts.

Hence the wondering part, I personally have never been in such a structure, so I don't have first hand experience. BUT from everything that I have read, extrinsic motivation such as "work harder so your company does better so your

Isn't one benefit of these programs(from the employer side) that employees are more directly tied to company outcomes, and thus will put out better work/product? Of course one person won't shift the stock price, but as a coll

It says a lot about the current state of the tech ecosystem when almost every acquisition is seen to be a death sentence for a product. What would a world look like where people rejoiced at these kinds of things? Well…we will probably never

I agree with this. I felt like it was unclear whether the article was saying that photography created compassion itself, or photography created instances of compassion around the events in the photographs(which totally makes sense).

I don't think there is an issue with it when done in moderation, but with social media it has become more wanting an end result without understanding the process or the risks involved with getting there. If studying others and using th

I think there is a healthy way and an unhealthy way to go about it. Suppressing the urge to compare ourselves to others seems like it would be counterproductive and energy intensive. Some people take it a step further though and use others

All fair points, but again, photography did not create compassion any more than photography created any other emotion. Humans have a rich history and our understanding of suffering amongst ourselves surely did not come about in the past few

Photography hardly created compassion. It could maybe be said that photography can instill such feelings, but I find it hard to believe that compassion did not exist before 1860(unless the article is referencing an instance of compassion be

3Blue1Brown and channels of the like are the ones I gravitate to. Unfortunately a lot of things on YT are based on bad news and exaggerations selling better than more reasonable content

Totally see where you are coming from, and as a consumer I try to avoid any video that smells like clickbait. There are many channels that do have great content and accurate captions/thumbnails. From what I’ve seen, having high quality

It would be the number one way to not being re-elected. I think herding people towards a better alternative via creative strategies while not creating public outrage is a good way to go from a politician's perspective.

It’s really nice to see 4 ads before even getting to the title of the article.

I have played League for 10 hours straight before and thought "wtf just happened?". Its like time just evaporates and it really does feel like an addiction.

I don't think the system should even care for these externalities because they will eventually balance out across a player base and the net effect should be zero(everyone will eventually play against a team with a drunk person on it).

It's not hard to come up with designs where you effectively cycle types of queues to where the end result is 50/50, but the pathway to get there is psychologically manipulative(win streaks/loss streaks/etc...). Now, winn

This becomes a different beast when you introduce competitive play. In non-ranked there is this feeling of freedom to try new things, have fun, etc... but in ranked it feels like things are on the line(despite those things being so trivial

And I actually only truly grasped this recently(the concept makes sense). My paranoid self always thinks that in a game like League, there are artificial matchmaking things going on to keep you at 50%, apart from a stagnation of skill. In t
