i ended up posting 3 replies in a row so scroll in that for more
DM offer stands for anyone reading this, im just pretty slow to reply
if youd rather video chat directly im happy to do this but would charge for that (bc synchronous 1:1 interactions are time-consuming and taxing); if ur interested in this DM me and then @ me to let me know i got a DM!
same goes for if you want me to generally try to troubleshoot your dating life. i cant help as much with "how can i get better at flirting" beyond fairly obvious advice but typically i think something is bottlenecking people and i think im good at:
- helping people figure out what that is
- helping boost morale
i should prob solicit anon reviews from previous clients tbh im not sure i have a strong sense of what's most helpful about this

@basilYam I always read/feel it as 'suppress these aspects of yourself because they dont interface well with other people' which i guess is substantially similar

@brianluidog solved*
the more i think about it though this kind of hits legitimately? If the aunties truly abandon reflexology and acupuncture they have unquestionably discarded one method of operation for the correspondingly more western one, and this generally bodes well for integration.

@brianluidog *taking notes* cultural integration will be saved when the aunties start going to physio

Chinese Australians are a great example of multiculturalism in practice.
In some aspects, they have even more zeal for Anglo-Saxon traditions than white Australians: witness their frenzied enthusiasm for looking down on Africans, Muslims, and people from the subcontinent.
And in other aspects, they reject white Australian traditions, such as DIY (an Aussie slang that means going to Bunnings to buy ten dozen roof tiles, climbing onto the roof with a flimsy ladder, and trying to lever out a cracked tile, throwing your back out in the process, and paying $30,000 for restorative physio)

@Entengummitiger @goblinodds @sergeantsup i dont know what you mean by excerpt. this is a screenshot of the twitter reply dialogue, which i posted as an image because i exceeded the length limit. you can see the edge of my profile picture clipped off in the top left corner. the words in the image are musings of my own.

I don’t like the way Australian politicians are trying to court Indian migrants in Australia through tying themselves with the Modi government. It’s a repeat of the mistake they made with Chinese migrants, namely the conflating of an ethnicity with a foreign government.

@sergeantsup yeah i gotta imagine there's a causal mechanism there

@iwsfutcmd you have inadvertently revealed to ALL OF US that if we want to see you in a towel, all we have to do is show up on time

ellie if you arrive on time at my parties you're going to have to contend with me stumbling out of the shower in a towel to let you in
Ellie@basilYam
Here are some party tricks that help me: 1. Always arrive on time!! This way I can connect w the host (normally I have to fight everyone else to do that) and they’ll invite me properly into the space, get me a drink, make me feel comfortable, maybe introduce me to the few other people who are already there… voila I am already at home

@mishapathy do you think there is an innate/default emotional state for humans, and if so, what do you think it is? additionally, do you conceptualise meditation as returning to some innate state from a state tainted by worldly exposure, or as cultivating a new/distinct emotional state?

Does healing from majory surgery vary as wildly as healing from pregnancy? I feel like pregnancy is all over the place and your best prediction is what your body did in a previous pregnancy

@brianluidog @levelsio i think it's too expensive to deny working people AC. some chinese guy told me
English
The big fallacy here (and believed by many Europeans) is implying we need degrowth to fix climate change
But degrowth is likely just masked foreign sabotage of our societies to make us poor and dumb
You can install AC + fix climate change + avoid tens of thousands of Europeans every year dying from heat in other ways like:
- changing to clean energy sources: solar, wind, batteries and nuclear (yes nuclear!), so the AC you use comes from clean energy
- carbon sequestration or similar tech to remove the emissions already out there
- improved production technologies so you emit less or no emissions
None of that means you do not need AC, and none of that means you need less GDP growth, that's a psyop!
Jean-François Côté@jaffsoft
I get that degrowth is seen negatively by people like @levelsio and they see AC as very important but we need these AC because we are using too much of earth's resources and heading on a climate crisis. They are not a solution, they are a band-aid...

@sergeantsup @mishapathy i guess bff and fwb are not actually mutually exclusive, so already the fragility of my model is on display!
English
@sergeantsup @mishapathy well i was uncertain you see. im like 60-40 on the distance being pretend vs real, and if the distance is pretend then im like 60-40 on being bffs vs being fwb. the (maybe) playing with distance is the main driver behind the heuristic ig?
