Haha nobody directly although my parent has alluded to me being lazy at points but moreso I meant like all those "opinion" pieces and articles talking about these new generations blah blah etcetc

The majority of humanity really believes in all seriousness that you can think magical thoughts and wishes in your head that an invisible, unprovable being hears. And they all see quite clearly that sometimes the wishes come true and sometimes they don't - just as would be statistically expected if the being didn't exist. But they completely ignore this by simply interpreting every outcome as the will of this being. This is an intellectual dishonesty and a blindness towards empirical reality itself that is downright astounding when you think about it.

Selbstchen, surely. Which also has the dubious honour of having six consonants in a row. Or Selbstli if you're fancy?

I don’t use it, but I’ve seen the video that a woman posted on LinkedIn of her sig heiling to prove that Elon didn’t make the “same gesture.” I’m convinced some people are just using it like regular social media, even if it makes them unemployable.

People are too anxious to order food?? That sounds amazingly miserable.

If you’re still curious: I’m a Data Analyst, I’m always curious! You’re getting absolutely railed on your connection charges; that’s like $4.88CAD a day!? I recently resigned with our provider so we only have 21 days of usage, we’re in summer, and we have a 5 bed, 3 bath two-storey home with solar panels for 4 adults and a child: [image: 6301a8ec-6faa-4f8a-a094-17385b3b9474.jpeg] Factoring in the exchange rate, $1CAD ~= $1.12AUD; just makes the comparison even worse. My state’s energy composition locally is ~35% renewables, mostly wind and solar, with the rest being a mix of natural gas, black & brown coal. As an aside, our feed-in tariff (i.e. how much we get paid to export excess solar into our grid) has absolutely cratered over the last few years: down from ~15c during COVID to only ~3.3c this year - it really incentivises us to explore solar batteries as an option.

Anything you put into your search box in Windows will be used in marketing against you.

I’d be picking them bones, know what I’m saying?

Ladkris is sold everywhere, it's a nice treat and common for Christmas gifts. If you are in the UK, think Hotel Chocolate. In America, Godiva.

You sound just like people from the UK who talk about not liking the word fookin' used in jokes because they don't talk like that.

I wonder if they recommend 32 because 16gb is the minimum for maxed settings vanilla but they know everyone will have 2000 mods installed eventually and they are accounting for that.

OK... So when does the burnt out phase end??? Is it like a "build the studio and it'll happen" sort of thing? I can't really judge that well, burn out and all...

Tutoring psych right now - another big thing is the debrief. It needs to be something you can’t do without lying, something important enough to be worth lying about, and you must debrief the participants at the end. I really doubt the researchers went back and messaged every single person that interacted with them revealing the lie.

"We could hang ourselves... We'd get an erection" "...An erection?!"

True, but to be fair, if I'd been watching Mr. Rogers as a kid and Big Bird showed up, ripped his own head off, and revealed a middle-aged man hiding inside, I probably would have been traumatized.
