- kelseyfrogCan you tell me more? I was already familiar with The Butterfly Revolution and RAGE before the inauguration, but it sounds like most people weren't?
- > Elon Musk is a smart salesman but that's about it.
How is it that most people here can see through it, but people in power can't?
- Who owns Edison?
- I give up.
Just work seven days a week, 12 hour days, and on call every moment. Die 20 years early from stress, anxiety, and depression. Burn out and end up in the hospital. Be meat for the grinder.
Meanwhile, I'm going to shut my laptop closed at 5pm, never installed Slack on my phone, and if someone needs me, they can show up to my house and ring the bell if it's that important. Good luck.
- Those are quite heavy ideas to receive as a teen. How did you come across it, if I may ask? Not too many teens would seem to know those texts even exist.
- Start doing it to judges in your jurisdiction. It's a good way to seed the outcome of your own case in your favor.
- How would knowing the age of consent laws for every state help this poor gentleman?
- I read it at 36. How old were you when you read it?
I'm sorry. It sounds like it fundamentally altered your perspective but that's not necessarily a good thing. How have you lived after reading it? I'm genuinely curious and hope you're willing to share.
- The Social Construction of Reality[1][2] provided me a method of examining the things that I assumed where obviously true and describes the process by which human ideas are transformed from beliefs into real tangible objects and natural truths. It forever changed the way I look at claims of human behavior framed as universal laws and my ears pearl up whenever I hear phrases like reality, truth, and nature used to justify personal beliefs.

- I mean the serving as an example to the rest part. Has that ever worked?
- Has that ever worked?
AFAIK, all evidence says that people don't consider consequences. If they did, they wouldn't be behaving like that in the first place. Punitive punishment feels much much better for people who have a specific set of values.
- Interesting idea. Any numbers to back it up?
- I've always wondered who these people are, like demographically.
We hold (or I do at least) certain stereotypes of what type of person they must be, but I'm sure I'm wrong and it'd be lovely to know how wrong I am.
- Pro plaintif not only because of privacy concerns, but if it raises the cost of televisions by introducing a production inefficiency, it is one step against the Baumol Effect.
- I have no doubt that had this happened nothing would have changed. C++'s legacy is that every positive incremental change is implemented at the last possible moment and in the most frustrating and caveat-laden manner.
The individual merits of language features hold relatively little value compared to the sausage making machine that is the C++ language evolution process.

Specifically for the American male, the F-150 is a form of gender expression and gender affirming transportation.
- Evil simply has more options available than good. Sure, those options, like all options, have pros and cons. Cancer, like sociopathy, can have a pretty good run even if it ends ultimately in demise.
I very much want to push back against any bias towards a just world. Bad people often live their whole lives without any consequence (think prostate cancer) while good people struggle (think my cuticles, which deserve much more than I usually give).
- In your Durkheimian analogy, sociopaths are cancer and while the body usually handles one off rogue cells, it often fails when tumors and eventually metastasis develop.
