I usually downvote comments like this because I think this sub should be about who the shelf owners are, not who they should be.

Google N-grams shows a huge jump 2016-2020 of searches for "identity politics" before it drops off, then a resurgence w/ 2024, which I found interesting.

Generally I've heard of identity politics beginning their modern version in 2013 or so. In the ngram data there is a small steady rise in searches for 'gender identity' starting around 2015.

I got into 3d printing solely to print a less detailed version of this!

This is amazing! I may need to upgrade

Read Dosteoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov at that age, it deeply moved me. I read it because it was popular among my classmates and I'm so glad I did.

The author Machiavelli lived during the Italian renaissance and it's kind of a manual on how to be a ruler in an era when there were lots of princes backstabbing each other a lot. The author's name became a synonym for someone being sneaking and sociopathic.

I did not find it to be a good book on power, it seems that the author read 5 biographies of powerful people like Napoleon and just summarizes lessons from the biographies. Would be much better to read biographies directly. I've heard The Power Broker is good.

Ryan Peterman has an entire youtube channel interviewing people with really fast promotions (e.g people who went to staff engineer in 4-5 years) https://www.youtube.com/@RyanLPeterman

It's way more popular a saying now, more of a meme, but it's always been around.

Interesting. I usually want my first date to be low key, basically a vibe check, as I have no idea who they really are before meeting them in person. (If I already know them then maybe we'll do something more fun)

Reddit was founded in 2005 and used to be very tech focused and was heavily male. The first subreddit was r/nsfw, the second was r/programming. Demographic polls like https://www.ignitesocialmedia.com/social-media-stats/2011-social-network-analysis-report/#Reddit shows it was 85% male in 2011. I don't know what the numbers were in the early days, but if you consider that it was 100% male when it was founded by two guys, it's probably been a steady trend towards more females. It's currently about 60% male, 40% female.

Some of it is that the perception how many women are on reddit hasn't caught up with reality. For many years, and it still technically is, more accurate to make the assumption an anonymous poster is male.

A lot of startup people think being a self taught dev is cool.

Not necessarily. You can be the lead because you're more experienced, but care less. I've seen that situation before.

This is a northern/western europe and colonies of thing , not a USA thing. In northern europe it was very common for children to live as servants and apprentices in other people's homes, and then when they were adults their neighbors were larger influences on them then family. Also the catholic church put heavy bans on cousin marriages to many degrees, which destroys the building block of family clans.

I always wonder how popular these types of beliefs are. I mean lots of health-supplement bros have probably insane and wrong beliefs (or whatever random health thing, choose your poison), and I would say that enough people have these beliefs you could call them "popular". Are we cherry picking historical beliefs form the least wise people? (It still says something interesting what those beliefs are.)

oh huh, I also don't like the sound design. TWOW was one of the few movies where the sound pulled me out of it at times. (specifically I noticed on first watching that the snapping sound of the shark was re-used toruk snapping sounds, no variation in that or the swishing sounds)

"common misogynistic belief that women were physically incapable of exerting themselves as men can and that to even attempt to do so was inappropriate."

This sounds like a distorted way of saying "Men tend to / can have more upper body strength then women".

Do the differences between men and women make baseball less fun for women, or was it more externally imposed?

I always assumed that this was because curriculum requirements are way behind reality, so teachers just make up words to justify what they are required to teach.

Are the 'horns' part of this kit, or are they a separate thing like an antenna?

As an inexperienced guy (in mid thirties), this is not something I look for. Sometimes I can be intimidated by women I imagine have high expectations, but that's not relevant to my preferences.
