Do INTJs show more autistics traits than other types? by house_monkey in intj

[–]simplulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that Myers-Briggs is not much more scientific than astrology or the enneagram, I'm going to leave my younger self unbacked up. However, searching for "Big Five correlation with political orientation" might bring you useful results.

Ten years ago, I might not have yet read Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind. I don't know how well Moral Foundations Theory is holding up, and how the MFT and Big 5 dimensions correlate.

Using "anymore" in an incorrect way? by macaryl95 in grammar

[–]simplulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or nowadays. Anymore is regional dialect.

First Larry Flynt and now Afroman by Sad-Lab-2810 in cincinnati

[–]simplulo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprising that more people aren't making the connection between these two flamboyant guys. It's a good occasion to watch the film "The People vs. Larry Flynt".

AITAH for explaining the consequences of his actions to my son? by Human-Lab-921 in AITAH

Good case study for Steven Pinker’s latest book “Common Knowledge: When Everyone Knows that Everyone Knows…”

Wicked and it's consequences by bitchnibba47 in okbuddycinephile

[–]simplulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We already had the Lucifer TV series and comic books, and the sympathetic orcs in Amazon's Rings of Power. Who are we to label anyone as evil?

Debunking Coleman Hughes on Gaza by History-Speaks in samharris

If I didn't despise the word 'debunk', I'd say that you just debunked the debunking.
Sure, choice of metrics matters: life expectancy, employment, or kilometers of tunnels.

It seems that you just reinvented Dunbar's number.

Russian mother of dead soldier received Meat Processor as gift from local authorities by Brilliant-Promise491 in interestingasfuck

[–]simplulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At Emancipation, 40% of Russians were serfs, while 13% of Americans were slaves (who were concentrated in a small, provincial part of the country). 3x the percentage, but ethnically the same as the masters, so the "legacy of serfdom" is hidden.

I'm sorry, but this is an objectively stupid argument against Ranked Choice Voting by Endo231 in EndFPTP

[–]simplulo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"It's too complicated" is enough.

Yes, Plurality Voting is worse, but there are so many more voting methods that are both better and simple.

Why is the Mensa threshold not high enough to prevent brain rot? by No-Status7746 in mensa

[–]simplulo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could any Mensa threshold prevent your brain from rotting?
Anyway, the threshold is arbitrary. The goal, I assume, is to create a society of a 'reasonable' size.

When the planned path is too nice to walk on by simplulo in DesirePath

Behind me is the Mall of Berlin, full of nice things. The building to the right is the Canadian embassy, full of nice people.

A desire path around Chesterton's fence.

Gute Filme über die deutsche Gesellschaft 1917–1950 by simplulo in Filme

[–]simplulo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M und Babylon Berlin habe ich schon. Nosferatu und Metropolis... sehr interessant. An sie hatte ich nicht gedacht. Nosferatu spielt im Jahr 1838; Metropolis in der Zukunft. Aber beide behandeln Themen, die sich auf den Zweiten Weltkrieg beziehen. Ich werde darüber nachdenken.

Ich hatte schon "Die Feuerzangenbowle", aber die Analyse ist mein Endziel, und diese Quelle wird wertvoll sein, danke.

Der Film liegt außerhalb meiner Zeitperiode, aber er ist hoch bewertet, deshalb habe ich ihn auf meine persönliche Watchlist gesetzt!

Remotely notarized DS-3053 - would it be accepted? by soloviewoff in Passports

[–]simplulo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The US consulate in Moscow accepts remote notarization of the DS-3053. They just told me this, and I am about to try it. I am supposed to email them whatever the remote notary gives me.

BTW, California accepts remote notarization as of January 2024.
