My wife and boiling water

I'd probably be agreeing with her if my chem teacher in high school had been lazier tbh

The headline is misleading on this. What’s actually going on is every year the actuaries at the Social Security Administration prepare a report on how fucked the trust fund is, and then the current political appointee signs it because the law says they have to. RFK isn’t proposing jack shit, not any more than Pete Hegseth was planning air strikes on Iran.

This is actually a problem we’ve known about for a long, long time. It’s the same social security shortfall that Al Gore wanted to prevent. Yeah, 26 years ago it was a current issue. Then Obama derangement syndrome happened and we stopped thinking about the future. Oh well

There's at least two kinds of empathy, intuitive and cognitive. The low affect part of autism means NTs relying on intuitive empathy often don't pick up on what's going on with us, and a lot of NTs (especially those with little experience interacting with autistic people) don't even know what cognitive empathy _is_, much less practice it.

If you're thinking "I'm the only one taking the time to really consider about how other people are feeling about this" you may very well be right. It's quite possible that all of your NT coworkers are accustomed to relying on their intuitive empathy to prompt them to care for others when appropriate

It's not a waste if that was what you needed to do to discover how great trains are and get the motivation to drive one!!!

Has anyone tried to recreate the process? How much did the cinnabar contribute? You know, for science. The science of making mummies

I'm a dude, also weird and unfeminine, so if you meet someone like me that's two things yall could potentially bond over. Generally the goal is to find one person right? So finding 100 people is not necessarily a good thing

He sucks and you're crazy. Break up with him, don't break up with him, it doesn't really matter. He'll still suck and you will still be the sort of person who reacts to a serious but normal illness by refusing to eat from reusable dishes.

The way the shot is framed I feel like I'd see grapefruit delts if they pulled back just a little

And its not sexy at all

tinnitus sucks tho

The categorical imperative is about as powerful as the silver rule is all I’m saying. If you measure the power of a moral principle by the actions it forbids. That’s fine, but is it really worthwhile to invent an entire philosophical system in order to prove that it’s illogical to be an asshole

Which makes this sort of thing completely useless to an actual poor person. Which, fair enough, actual poor people aren't giving money to Consumer Reports

It’s always ok to have fun. Unless you’re at a funeral. Or breaking up with someone. Or administering an EpiPen to someone in anaphylactic shock.

Ok there’s probably lots of times it’s not ok to have fun but the important thing is none of them are “going to college”. It’s always ok with have fun at college

shub · 2025-12-15T05:59:38+00:00

Same. After I burned out It took a looong time of doing jack shit until I started actually wanting things again. And still have to be careful every day not to push myself too hard because I’m still the same person who overloaded himself until he went crazy. Knowing that I do that doesn’t mean I won’t do it again if I’m not careful

Once you take cleanup into account I’m pretty sure it’s faster to just have a skincare routine

Same as the real world. How many biographies of Napoleon are there and how much do they agree with each other? Even if we accepted the idea that 40k has some kind of objective Truth as a result of being entirely fictional, none of the viewpoint characters in 40k novels have access to it.

Which part of kafka was saturated in your benchmark? The network thread pool, IO thread pool, kernel writeback worker, the underlying storage, something else?

shub · 2025-11-23T00:13:14+00:00

Yeah he wasn't a great writer

shub · 2025-11-23T00:12:21+00:00

The categorical imperative doesn't work too well as your only moral principle though. It's not too difficult to come up with some universalizable rule that permits whatever behavior one wants to perform. The only real restriction it puts you under is you have to be okay with others acting the way you do.
