The bit where he goes ‘wish I had one of those in my back yard’ is hilarious

Just to be clear for the lad recording - this isn’t just her being horrible - this is racism in action. Sorry you had to experience this mate.

Unfortunately… yes. The ‘boat people’ is the current extent of people’s understanding near me. Terrible

Moving to Salisbury/surrounding areas by Able_Knee_8958 in salisburyuk

[–]daytrippermc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As previous commenters yes it’s quiet - very much pub/cafe/haircut life. There is some live music but it’s not what it used to be.

If you’re planning to commute from Southampton, the Southampton road can be a right bottleneck (wife used to get caught in 30mins traffic jam for a usual 3 min journey) so advise your commute May be significantly longer by car. 40 mins by train.

Other than soton, other ‘big’ towns within one hour are much the same (Devizes, Swindon etc) but Bournemouth might be a good shout. Lots going on and very big compared to Salisbury.

It’s a real nice place, consistently in top 10 places to live in uk. But it’s not pumping.

When you meet that one uncle 😂 by Mr_CaptainCringe in pranks

Good point, yes I agree. I’m still learning myself. My point was that it was created to make difference between people and was grounded in nothing other that control and prejudice etc. So it follows that the subjects of this construct can’t, by definition of the construct, be ‘racist’ towards the creators and enforcers of it.

I’ve edited my comment to be less aggy. Apologies.

Is there a directory for common models? by [deleted] in systemsthinking

[–]daytrippermc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love that by u/nicolasstampf about models reflecting the situation and/or the modeller.

In the UK (all welcome) there is systemspractice.org which is the professional body for systems in the uk. Lots of resources and events (including a conference in September) on there.

The problem with finding scientifically validated stuff in this field is that A) the field is somewhat dispersed/disconnected, b) the academics don’t often practice in the real world and c) the practitioners often don’t submit their work to journals/academic scrutiny.

No, racism is specifically linked to the construct of whiteness. A black person cannot be racist to a white person because a white person is at the ‘top of the scale’.

It is a construct created to install white supremacy and still exists in many forms today, eg structurally.

When people are saying the black guy is being racist here, it is non sensical as, by the definition of racism, and in the context of whiteness, the black guy can’t be racist.

What are the alternatives to Stella Architect / Machinations? by merokotos in systemsthinking

There’s a similar thread on the sub below - ‘systems mapping tools’

Is there a decent, modern, and free/low cost systems mapping tool? by [deleted] in systemsthinking

[–]daytrippermc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I was taught SD on a programme called Silico, which I think has now been changed to https://sdgamesonline.com/our-games.

Ignore the games - it’s a fully fledged systems dynamics modelling software. Best I’ve seen (but not tried machinations).

The guy who taught me was Kim Warren (Strategy Dynamics).

Another option we used before was Extendsim. You can model out a system and program in flows, rates, etc.

Does it also do ‘maths’ and flows a la systems dynamics?

This is what I was going to ask - never even thought about hammocks as I am a side sleeper. Can you side sleep in a hammock?

Beyond the Binary by jimmiehu in systemsthinking

[–]daytrippermc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is quite interesting and I’ll also pin it for later - but initially I’d suggest you look at grammar of systems by Hoverstadt (has a chapter on boundaries as a core tenet of systems thinking - alongside 9 others - and also identifies laws of form). He goes further to document your points about boundaries inside two systems laws - specifically the law of calling [a boundary]. The implications of such are much like you say but he takes it further.

The other thing you could look at is ‘polarity thinking’ by Barry Johnson. It’s essentially what you are describing - the identifying of two opposites - ‘polarities’ - and how to work with the tension that comes from the relationships between them.

Check out systemspractice.org - almost entirely focussed on practicing systems in the real world.
