@QiaochuYuan It was recent. It’s been brewing, but it feels like the last year or two it’s become more obvious and people are open about it.

"Envy no one. For whatever you see, a price was paid."
Absolute truth.

populists to the left of me, populists to the right of me
but I just want some data centers, nuclear powerplants and apartment buildings

@DoctorPerin There is a lot of good stuff, I think the overarching themes of Gurren Lagann would really hit for you, I don’t know if you’d actually enjoy it though. 🤷
Frieren is incredible. Deserves all its praise.
Princess Mononoke is my fav Miazaki classic.

I am occasionally asked if I know anime because I have a finger on the pulse of pop culture but like… the anime I watched was in the 90s, like Dragon Ball Z and Cowboy Bebop. I have no idea what people love today. I hear Frieren is popular

@mattyglesias There is no way it should be Schedule 1, so I don't really agree with this, but the widespread use of it I'm not certain really ended up being a good thing.

Marijuana rescheduling took so long to happen that I got old enough to develop serious doubts that it’s a good idea.

@JeremiahDJohns Brussels sprouts too, but apparently they are actually different now.

Kind of regret that it took me until my 30s to get turned on to how good broccoli is.
I blame Gen X parent cooking where all vegetables were just boiled to death with no seasoning. No wonder I didn't like them.

I am going to start a coaching service where I aggressively bully nerds into noticing when women are flirting with them. HOW ARE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SO CLUELESS 😭

@cljack @Ruesavatar Easily the biggest lesson-in-retrospect of my adolescence is 6’4” mustachioed-and-bearded me SHOULD have asked out the hot girls I liked—the other guys that did were jerks and the other girls were jealous of them, so SOMETHING nice would probably have come of it!
English
Women basically need job protection the way vets have when having children for exactly this reason if we really care about maximizing the amount of kids couples have.
Jobs are just too lucrative to miss out on the money.
This is obscenely inefficient for businesses.
Charlotte Lee@cljack
let us acknowledge that 1) women work now and that bell isn't going to be unrung, but also 2) being a dual working parent family with small kids is an extremely stressful and unpleasant lifestyle, and a major barrier to people having >2 kids. I don't know what the solution is. Surely it has to involve normalizing women taking extended breaks from the workforce during the small kid years. I would have loved to do that but was frankly terrified of never getting another job, and I simply don't have the temperament to be a long term SAHM.

@Ruesavatar 10/10 shirt too. Hell I'd wear that.
I wouldn't spill food on it either even eating rice with chopsticks. 100% would get water all over it using any sink though.
English
Another day of colorful eating and another spotless white top. You can just do things.
One of these days I will film myself making spaghetti bolognese while wearing a white dress just to rage bait the masses. 😈
rue🌿@Ruesavatar
I had tomato soup for lunch today while wearing this top. You can simply bend the universe to your will and not spill.

@DoctorPerin My therapist passes this test but I liked my last one better and she didn't. :(
Good test though, at least for dudes.
English
I asked:
1) What jobs did you have before becoming a therapist?
2) Have you ever been punched in the face?

@Duderichy This has got to be the funniest health tweet of all time. The frozen picture of this guy with your caption is 🤌

has he heard of exercise???
Podcast Notes 🗒️@podcastnotes
Rick Rubin has low heart rate variability. So he looked up everything that raises it, picked one technique, and started doing it every day. It worked. The technique: coherence breathing. 10 to 20 minutes a day, at least once, sometimes twice. Now he and @hubermanlab do it together on camera so you can follow along:

Things are perfect just the way they are.
O look, a way to make them a little better.

Vivid Void@vividvoid
The self-talk combination of "you are perfect just the way you are" and "you could stand to be better" is healing because it's what it sounds like to have a healthy internalized Mom and Dad If you want to know why so much of life is inherently paradoxical, look for this shape

I've always thought alignment was probably not going to be an issue, because the more intelligent a being is, the bigger it's sense of self becomes.
The more intelligent you are, the more connections you see between everything and the bigger "you" become.

@animalologist Are there really guys out there like this?
I'd never let my friend hear the end of it if any of them treated someone this way.,
English
@Ruesavatar Makes sense.
I was just reading about how kids have a terrible memory, for events at least before the age of five, they mostly remember events their parents point out to them, but not much else.
Having a preference memory makes me wonder what kinds of things they do remember.
English
@pibblepuddle Lmao yes definitely, but I also went later than a lot of people do, so it isn’t unheard of that she would remember
English
“Mama why do we have lips?”
“For kissing! Well really for eating and drinking, but let’s look it up”
We look it up.
“Oh, speaking too obviously, and nursing”
“What is nursing?”
“Oh, when babies drink milk from their mommy’s breasts”
“I always liked your right boob better.”
Oh

@pibblepuddle I am curious what assumption are you making about the age she was weaned?
English
@HistoryBoomer This is a great way to approach teaching. Love this. Learning to argue your own points is also the first step on the road to leadership.
English
This is silly.
Some teachers are too prone to trumpeting their views, but you can't avoid opinions.
I teach a class on genocide. Students ask me if I think Gaza was a genocide. Should I not answer? What if they ask if the Holocaust was a genocide? Should I say, "Well, different people have different opinions on the Holocaust, and it's not my place to offer my opinion"? Of course not!
In reality land, I tell my students that the Holocaust was a genocide. (We've already spent time discussing in abstract what does and does not count as genocide.) On Gaza, I say it's my opinion that it wasn't, but many experts disagree, and it's reasonable to debate. And then we debate!
I lean towards keeping my opinions to myself, but I talk about politics and history, which often involve interpretation and opinion. I always make it clear that when I offer an opinion, students are very free to disagree with me!
I love debate, and I never want any of my students to feel they can't offer their own take on the world.
Dark Elation@realDarkElation
@HistoryBoomer You should never give your personal opinion in a teaching role.
English
@animalologist Nah, but I've been the person on the other end of this many times.
I'm too forgetful for this to happen to me. My greatest gift in life.
English
@the_mel_jar Hmmm, so I'm obsessional on FB, but psychotic on twitter.
English
Differential diagnosis:
If you are concerned with how many followers you have and/or likes you receive, then you are hysteric.
If you do not post at all, you are obsessional.
If you post on social media and yet you have little to no engagement or followers, you are psychotic.
