@Aella_Girl Idk this feels like a vegan calibration thing but individual human mental capacity is only mildly related to what I think is morally salient

nyc isn’t evil. its just the only city honest enough to admit everyone wants money, love, status, God, a better table, and to be chosen by someone with taste. other cities call that toxic because theyre uglier and dress worse
tomie@tomieinlove
NYC is evil but in a socially adept, Machiavellian way. As if every other city were homeschooled.

@itsliamegan how is living alone end of civilization? it means you can get a girl over anytime and get her pregnant and start a family instantly

@JillFilipovic Or you marry someone who realizes even contributions within domains is wildly inefficient

Men routinely overestimate the amount of childcare and housework they do. Women underestimate how much they do and overestimate how much their husbands do. One solution: dads should commit to doing 70% of the work and it’ll wind up closer to 50-50.

My lab asked pregnant couples to discuss their plans for sharing infant care. After birth, we brought them back to the lab. We discovered that couples do not accurately predict their division of baby care, and parents fare better when dads do more.

@eigenrobot that's the crazy thing the worst guy I've ever known had the sweetest mom in the world. parents are simultaneously over and underrated

so many people ive never met fulminate at me that i barely notice anymore but sometimes i wonder what's happened to them
i think of the way my wife loves our children. did they ever have someone like that?
how would their father regard what they've become?

@eigenrobot You’re so fucking stupid it’s incredible. Trump is the outlier cancer that befell us about 10 years ago. Not Obama. Pick up a fucking newspaper sometime you dumb fucking cunt — and hey, try to pick your knuckles up off the ground when you’re walking, too.

@Big_Kirbs @rpondiscio It’s a very simple premise of redistributing wealth. Would it materially change my life? No. But perhaps our deficit would be lower. Maybe teachers wouldn’t have to buy their own classroom supplies. Although that would depend on our govt not f’ing everything up

Yesterday I ordered an obscure book and a 20 pound bag of dog food on Amazon. Today it was delivered to my house in rural upstate New York. Remind me again why Jeff Bezos doesn’t deserve to be a billionaire?

@insurrealist A similar strategy is employed with vaccines and a lot of other things

@whimpermanence yes the thing you'd diagnose the problem with is the thing that isn't working, same prob w/schiz

autism is a social & information processing disorder. most people with autism don’t even know they are disabled because they have nothing to compare it to. it’s not like autism is visible.

If your 'autism' isnt disabling, it isnt autism.

@lapislagoons most of this stuff is downstream of gamete size. So paternity uncertainty prob plays a role

@NakedAndAfraid @Discovery you could tell they kicked ass because it was edited so short. low drama, pair of pros. i'd love a longer, more serious version of this show

@kautzmania Directness isn't necessarily a genuine truth signal, certainly not the most reliable indicator. that's the main thing imo
Additionally things like: implications, plausible deniability, playfulness, indirect invitations, tests, politeness, asymmetries, felt vs. literal, lots more

@goblinodds haha its rough but the end is imo optimistic and beautiful
English
@floidberg YES i have no problem with dark stuff it just cant be completely fucking empty or relentlessly depressing. i should watch that
English
confusing that so much high quality nihilistic media gets made. it's fundamentally empty and pointless but it requires a ton of motivation and a clear sense of purpose to actually create. like im baffled that anyone was able to produce Mad Men

Another shrine roof in Japan has been stripped of its copper—this time in large quantities.
The victim: Koyasu Shrine in Kamimuguchi, Komatsu City.
Because the copper plates were torn off, the main hall is now leaking when it rains.
The local community leader, Yoshiaki Kawamoto, said:
"Everyone in the community is devastated. This shrine is something we’ve all cherished for generations."
Shrines in Japan aren’t just buildings.
They’ve always been there—quietly protecting the land, watching over the people.
And in return, locals have continued to offer their prayers.
This isn’t just theft.
This is the destruction of something deeply rooted in our culture.
How many times is this going to happen?
Seriously… enough is enough.

また神社の屋根に使われる銅板が盗まれた。しかも大量に。 許せない。 本当に許せない。 被害者は小松市上麦口町の泰産（こやす）神社 銅板が剥がされたことで拝殿は雨漏りするようになった。 川本喜明町内会長は「住民みんなが大事にしている神社が被害に遭ってショックだと語った。 日本人が大切に守ってきた神社。外国人は知らないのかもしれないが、 長い間、日本では地元の神社が当たり前に存在し、みんなを守り、また地元民も祈りを捧げている。 ふざけんな。 ほんとうにふざけんな。 これで何軒目だ。 hokkoku.co.jp/articles/-/209…

@Aella_Girl feels like a solid demonstration of paul tillych's reasoning re: individual/collective

Alright I tested this on Glosso, a small social media platform made up of adults with permanent account bans on the line (instead of death). Almost a thousand people voted.
And the result was.... Exactly the same percentages as this poll
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@ChristianityOn @MiguelGuelbec It definitely has a grievance fixation flavor to it. And is notably absent of poetic thinking, tries to systematically justify emotions etc...
He fits the dangerous injustice collector type pretty neatly, wouldn't be surprised if you're right

@MiguelGuelbec no. is it, you know, telling

I've heard this voice a thousand times in a thousand people...

1/ WATCH: Cole Allen in his own words… The California computer scientist, 31, accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner isn’t just any would-be killer — he is an elite-trained engineer from Caltech, where students with perfect SAT scores gain admission. And now — in a new @FoxNews Digital story with my colleague @pmd_reports — I’ve unearthed a video of him from 2017 speaking publicly about…yes, creating brakes for wheelchairs to make life easier for seniors. 🔗 Read our full story here: foxnews.com/us/cole-allen-… ⸻
