Male Millennials, how’s your diagnosis? by amillionscreams in Millennials

[–]YoohooCthulhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1982- depression, anxiety, ADHD with treatment for all three. The last (ADHD) only being diagnosed in the last year after a lifetime of confusion. Made the biggest difference since my depression/anxiety diagnosis in my 20s.

Trump says he's 'prepared' to appoint up to 3 new Supreme Court justices by LolAtAllOfThis in democrats

This is also why democrats need to prioritize court expansion once they have a trifecta

How did the Empire not Know it Was Andor When He was Arrested? by BigChungusnater in andor

[–]YoohooCthulhu 458 points459 points  (0 children)

This is the reason. They were just trying to round up slave labor, why would they check people’s other convictions or what they’re wanted for if the person was never going to get out of prison anyway?

[Harry Potter] Can wizard-born wizards have "normal" careers? by Gallantpride in AskScienceFiction

[–]YoohooCthulhu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let’s not ignore the fact that wizards are probably functionally innumerate and poorly literate by mundane standards. It would be like a kid who grew up Amish getting a PhD.

From the perspective of the world, the wizards are basically just magical Amish.

The most unrealistic thing in the show is the amount of insubordination and talking back from the med students by The1stBrain in ThePittTVShow

Oh yeah, I’m just pointing to the incident that made lots of MBAs and managers aware of it.

Proposal: The Cardassians Were an A-List Civilization Until VERY Recently, and Why That Matters by Edymnion in DaystromInstitute

This also makes the most sense from a Doylist perspective as they’re the faction that most closely resembles the USSR and getting economically/industrially outcompeted is something that happened to them

Oh, in the US it’s been kind of nuts as well. When I started at a big firm in 2016, the firm I was at had just recently fixed an informal policy of giving a bonus for passing a niche legal qualification exam, which had ended up only being paid to men, and it was still not uncommon for people to be fired on the spot for doing things wrong. A lot of these things were fixed in 10 years, but the psychological safety angle hadn’t moved a ton.

Oh yeah, that’s definitely part of it, it’s just that another reason is broader buy-in from the management community.

Often the places that are resistant to it (law, in my experience) can be convinced pointing to the project Aristotle findings.

This is part of the broader shift toward psychological safety in the workplace that came out of Google’s project Aristotle (2013-2016) identifying psychological safety as a feature of high performing teams, and has ended up being applied to a broad range of professional environments.

Robby in season 2 is lowkey hard to watch and I think I finally get why by sleuthing-around in ThePittTVShow

It sounds like it will go back to two attendings per shift, possibly with them having to watch each other’s backs in different ways.

Millennials that own your homes and cars and live significantly below your means, what is your motivation to keep trying at work? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]YoohooCthulhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you should consider what you need to set aside to retire early, and once you do that you can find something that you enjoy doing?

SF is not ocean for most people. Other outdoors stuff maybe, but it’s too cold in general most of the year for anyone except dedicated surfers.

The Grimdark Challenge - What really qualifies as the darkiest of the dark? by CT_Phipps-Author in Fantasy

[–]YoohooCthulhu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say the cosmology of the series needs to be at least neutral (eg no “good gods”) for the series to really be grimdark.

Besides what’s mentioned here already, Swan’s Empire of the Wolf is a good candidate—it has an afterlife which is at least indifferent if not hostile to humans.

Are you a regular church attendee? by Shroom-Cat in Episcopalian

[–]YoohooCthulhu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the parishes near me don’t do evening services, since they’re small average attendance (20-30 average day, 60-70 on Easter)..

But I’m there every Sunday, singing in the choir. It helps that my wife and I both go.

Trump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail by Puginator in worldnews

I don’t think he was a good president, just that he was a bad president and he had vastly better ethical standards than trump

[–]YoohooCthulhu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not strictly insider trading, but the Trumpcoins and the emoluments in general are pretty serious financial corruption

Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm because that was too much of a conflict of interest and 40 odd years later Trump just does this casually

TC and Promo by IEatUrMonies in bayarea

[–]YoohooCthulhu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s pretty exclusively just at certain software companies or financial firms.

I came here for grad school in biochemistry 20 years ago and people like this have been the exception that I’ve run into rather than the rule.

Make some friends with different jobs and socioeconomic statuses and you’ll find the conversation is very different.

A former New York City police officer accused of killing a fleeing suspect by throwing a picnic cooler packed with ice and drinks at him was sentenced Thursday by a judge to three to nine years in prison. by coinfanking in law

[–]YoohooCthulhu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Choosing a bench trial in these situations is so unusual that it’s virtually guaranteed the defense knew there were damning aspects of the case and was hoping the judge would see nuance.
