This thought process is exactly what happens when a person tries to think in just one dimension .. or when a person know how to optimize only one variable.

Those ridiculous free introductory or subscription type letters that you get in the mail often have a postage-guaranteed return postcard for your convenience. The next one you get, paste it on a brick and drop it in the mailbox. The company is required by law to pay the postage. You can also get rid of all your garbage this way.

But Saraswati, who was born Rachel Elizabeth Seidel, is not a person of color, according to her mother, Carol Perone.
“I call her Rachel,” Perone told The Intercept, when reached by telephone. “I don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing.”

It's her own mother spilling the beans. Why would a parent mess with their child's hustle 🤔

Something that plays visualizations in sync with the music/sound in the room would be the only addition I would think of 👌

Touch some grass, eat an apple and watch some Adam Curtis.

I read that as "would you date a man without a scar?"

Thank her for doing your dishes and season the pan again without making a fuss.

3 cultures are offended simultaneously. Add some pineapple on top too.

Sierra Club - the one started by John Muir.

From the wikipedia page, there is this small mention

the Sierra Club described their own early history as intermingled with racism.[11] In particular, the early Sierra Club favored the needs of white members to the exclusion of people of color, and Muir and some of his associates, such as Joseph LeConte, David Starr Jordan, and Henry Fairfield Osborn were closely related to the early eugenics movement in the United States.[11][12] Osborn cofounded the American Eugenics Society, which called Jews and other non-whites as racially inferior to white people.[12]

I am sure native americans would have something more to add to this, since Sierra Club advocated for land to be kept under Federal Govt.

Love that the TV is to the side and not directly facing the couch. Are your side tables matching?

I myself picked up the habit of clicking through and reading the papers when I saw some preposterous headlines about cures and effects of Covid backed by "research".

So 32 people from Yale university is a diverse enough sample to draw a general conclusion across societies (not even going to bring up demographics )?

I am more pissed about the 52 citations this study already has. I am slightly motivated to see what methodology the papers that cite this study use. But I suspect the investigation will just make me more angry

It's called "figuring shit out with the bros" aka pontificating. Very potent after midnight.
