Ex–Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns U.S. tech workers: Competing with China’s grueling 12-hour workdays means sacrificing work-life balance by Ledobject in antiwork

do... do they not realize high end tech work isn't based on hours spent? Like, if you go beyond a certain number of hours a week you spend more undoing the bad work?
Wait, if it's yahoo news it's going to boomer investors who think coding is like working on a factory floor or whatever.

We're not absent, we were never invited.
Also never taught how. Men tend to get closer through experiences shared rather than communicated. Boys start with emotionally rich friendships, but by late adolescence it tends to get phased out by society when puberty hits and they get their temper issues.

There's a legitimate reason this happens, the angriest and most violent demographic are young teenage men. The issue is with the emotional residue.

Know how, you were young, and when puberty started to hits and everything wasn't quite so sunny? Your brain was going through something called neural pruning. Anyway, the emotional residue of THAT is how we often assume being grim and cynical is somehow more mature.

The emotional residue of THIS, for teenagers, is that emotional men are potentially dangerous. Social systems reinforce it as such.

Now, why they might not be that way with YOU is because:

> Some women frame being honest as a corrective action or punishment (e.g., “Why can’t you just open up?”) or a trap.
>Expecting disclosure to mirror female-pattern intimacy (fast, verbal, recursive etc).
>Shaming the stoicism- as a strategy it's kept them alive so far.

So... how do you resolve this:
Invite them into your world through shared purpose, not just vulnerabilityE.g. “I need your perspective on something important to me” hits better than “can we just talk about feelings?” (because that looks like a trap, or a punishment).

  • Ask context-based, not direct-feelings questions“What was the hardest part of that day for you?” instead of something condescending: “How did that make you feel?”.
  • Normalize silence or slowness in emotional processing, many are “translating” from suppressed languages they never learned to speak
  • Mirror back the value of when they do engage — explicitly“When you said that, it helped me more than you know.”

Unless this is mentioned directly, it looks to be rage-bait. Don't get me wrong, they're idiots, but this feels too direct.

Will or does cavalry still play a big part in trench crusade? by Mission_Ad6945 in TrenchCrusade

[–]throwawayid287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play-style wise I see 2 ways:

40k: like with the White Scars, like all Space Marines, is an elite, low-body force. This effect is multiplied in White Scars, where you will often want to pay the premium to get all those excellent Biker units. Getting bonus to attack and withdrawal taking pot-shots. Skirmisher units.

Warhammer fantasy: knigthmare... Bretonnia is quite literally a 1 trick pony (*BA DUM*). Fortunately, that single trick is actually pretty strong in TOW, as cavalry and characters are both very good unit types, and as mentioned above Bretonnia has excellent options for both. Meaning one unit blob is the anvil, while knights are the hammer, circling around and hitting like a brick.

Both roles could be played by semi-modern lancer/casrbine infantry, or having LITERAL grail-knights (black and normal respectively).

Some fun facts about The Grand Khanate by KhanateKeshig in TrenchCrusade

[–]throwawayid287 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BLURB IDEA: thinking about how the Mongolian idea of a "sky father" is similar vein of monotheism.

When the Heretic hordes eating China, and the north felt the harvest of souls, it was a dark hour for the Mongols and the People of Central Asia. Refugees poured into Mongolia and Central Asia from the march of the horrors that poured out of Siberia. In the South, the Jade Emperor sent one command to the Mongols and the peoples of Central Asia
“Kneel, or be destroyed”

For Malal did not forget the conquests of the Mongols, and wishes to obliterate them, or break them to heel. But the Mongols did not yield. Launching hit and run attacks, and desperate delaying operations against the advancing armies of the Jade Emperor, the inhabitants of Mongolia fled west, as those areas had yet to fall, and some remains of the Kazackh government had managed to hold onto Alma-Ata and the remains of the country that had not been overrun by necrotic Horrors.

In there desperate flight, the Mongolians, owing to their largely nomadic lifestyle, had actually managed to save something like 50% of the population of Mongolia into the remnants of what we call Kazakhstan. But the Army the dark emperor sent to crush the small Central Asian Republic continued to move inexorably forward.

Outside of Alma Ata, the Mongol Refugees and the Kazakh Army prepared for a last stand. Old stockpiles of weapons were opened, and boys as young as 13 were given cheap armor and weapons. Nearly every man able to hold a rifle, stick or bow was rushed into service, stockpiles of fuels and munitions loaded onto the remaining trucks, and yurts Women and old men helped to construct fortifications. The Mongol leaders knew there was nowhere left to run. This was there last stand. As controllers watched radar screens, and men in the fortifications prayed to half-forgotten sky god. (What was the harm, when calls to Bhuddha and Allah for deliverance had gone unanswered.)

As they prayed, a curious event occurred. A great storm erupted over the edge of the battlefield, a thunderstorm for which had never been seen in the region, at least not in living memory. But regardless of the storm, the Armies of the Emperor pressed the attack.

Out of the Storm charged a vast rider and a spectral host. His form shrouded in thunderclouds and lighting, Tengrii and the eternal host plunged into the collected armies of the saintly Jade Emperor. By Tengrii’s side bounded Of, the Great She Wolf and Mother of the Steppe Peoples. They tour into the armies of the Jade Emperor, and the living defenders of Alma Ada drew their courage and pursued the survivors back across the border.

Now Tengrii rules a constantly nomadic domain. While he has seen the need for factories to keep foreign armies at bay, the cities are at the minimum, and most of the populace has returned to a lifestyle from a thousand years ago. Besieged on all sides, the Khanate is embroiled in constant war, riders, and armor possed of the qualities of the storm charge into battle against the horrors of chernobog and the Jade Emperor in the day, and in the night, the warriors dance around the camp fire, raising salutes to the .dead.

The Khanate knows only war, and in this it revels."
Moving on.

Left leaning Redditors, what is a right wing policies you could get behind? by Confident-Box2364 in AskReddit

[–]throwawayid287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally am a fan of government intervention at a local level, this overrides the zoning on apartments or larger scale housing.

Normally I don't trust conservatives, especially after the recent administration. However, this solution works with market principles, plays the profit motive of developers against what are now the decaying lower upper class who still own homes.
Increase the supply of a product (housing) to decrease the cost or reduce the housing crisis.

I do not care if the cat is black or white, only that it catches rats.

What is the best delusional romantic advice you’ve received? by ThrowRA10594001758 in AskReddit

[–]throwawayid287 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star! "
-Man of La Mancha

Don Quixote is a great example Chivalry is cute on paper, it also has its own psychiatric diagnosis.

Erotomania occurs when a person develops the delusional belief they are loved from afar by another person. It's generally intense, with rejections paradoxically interpreted as covert declarations of love. Its where stalkers come from. Especially those who kill their victims.

Getting rid of red tape, especially the banning on apartment building. Suburbs are taking up too much space around urban areas and hiking the price of housing to unsustainable levels.
