They’re probably using it to express incredulity. “The mechanic told me it would cost $5000(!) to fix, so I decided to scrap the car instead.”

You find it stunning that people don’t intuit a fundamental principal as regards human behavior? You’re either commenting in bad faith or you yourself don’t understand some basic principals of humanity in the 21st century itself.

Good point. When I learned about the concept of “eustress” and how it contrasts with “distress”, it gave me a better understanding of how I handled varying types of difficult situations. Eustress is basically stress that improves your perfo

I can imagine solemnly written tweets with typos going unnoticed by the author for hours or days, if ever noticed. This is especially frustrating once a tweet has gained traction, because deleting and reposting means you lose all the engage

Not sure how common but this has happened to me as well. Coding challenge complete, follow-up interview scheduled... then cancelled. Rescheduled... then ghosted. It was a cheap way of figuring out I shouldn’t even consider working there.

Maybe the downvoted are from the use of the word, “amphetamines”, but at that point I assume the amphetamines are prescription Adderall or such.

This is great. I have found that breaking things into step-by-step checklists works well. For example, I had to grill some burgers the other day. It was overwhelming to think about, and I know that sounds ridiculous, but it felt like the en

Oh, I guess I must be trapped in a Cubicle of Awful. The Improve the Moment technique sounds perfect. One thing that I do when I need to wash dishes or other tedium is put on headphones and listen to music, otherwise the “ugh” is too overwh

I understand that some climate change deniers may be motivated by their belief that the adaptations we would have to make to reverse it would negatively impact the economy. Interestingly enough, the those change that covid has forced have h

Funny, this sort of ambient noise is the only thing that turns my brain off and allows me to sleep at night.

I’m doing ok-ish. I’m waiting to start a new job but I’m afraid maybe some of my past mistakes might have an impact on the ultimate decision. I’m in a really tight financial bind (on top of it all, the only family car broke down yesterday).

I asked GPT-3, and this was the advice it returned after a conversation about my goals/feelings and with me prompting it with, “The life coach begins telling you about some ways to make progress on your goals.” “The life coach tells yo

> AFAICT, India is only country which portrays its invaders and looters as heroes. The US still widely observes Columbus Day, despite it being a celebration of, “...the greatest waves of genocide of the American Indians known in history.

I think the contemporary podcast Mysterious Universe has solidly taken the torch from Art Bell. They always seem to sincerely dance with subjects while occasionally throwing a wink your way. Their storytelling skills are phenomenal.

I’ve been continually using last.fm for 14 years now. I think that when I’m older, or if something happens to me, it might be a cool way to see who I was.

I‘be been using AI Dungeon in GPT-3 mode all day. It’s insanely addictive. I’ve run into trouble a few times, but it’s usually due to badly constructed scenarios. My biggest success so far is making the original prompt a Wikipedia article i

This study was on people in their 60’s - 80’s, in case anyone else panicked after reading the title. I am literally in the middle of dealing with some of the worst sleep in my life, but am in my late 20’s. The idea that these problems could

That is pretty dope. In my experience, in all the time I’ve been in school, most people seem unimpressed with most of what is presented. I personally try to be effusive and give the teacher or presenter feedback so they have some inkling th

If someone else has figured it out, I’d rather just get their take on the thing than try to figure it out myself, especially if it’s something like productivity or learning. I want to spend my time mastering software engineering, not reinve

Just naively, from what I understand, solar farms are liable to produce a lot of toxic waste. The DOE claims nuclear is 2.5 to 3.5 times more reliable than wind and solar energy.
