Australian. In Australia. Imgur Secret Santa was having issues with Australia being a country...
People absolutely can make you feel things. That's one of the core parts of being human. We have no control over our internal emotional experience in the moment. We do have control over how we choose to respond to our emotions, and it's important to take responsibility for that. We can also shape, to some degree, how intensely we experience emotions over time, plus our mindset has an influence (ie getting mad over someone else existing can be shifted).
Anything conductive enough would do for activating touchscreen, yes. But the point of the video is a quick and easy way to test which fuse is blown/problematic without a tester and with things you have on you (assuming it's not immediately visible). In which case, good to know!
For other non Americans who may not know, these two cities are pronounced 'can-zas' and 'ark-en-saw' respectively... I didn't find this out until a few years ago, having only seen Arkansas in writing (and very rarely) before that
I see no indications of AI. No feathers or movements or feet out of place, no weird motions, etc. But then, AI is getting better pretty quickly so it's not always possible to tell... But I have no reason to doubt this specific video is real, d/so enjoy away!
A) It's a commonly accepted method of internet discourse to talk as you would to that person, as it's easier to get your point out there in fewer characters that way and people who feel this way get to read the perspectives as though it's talking to them, which can be a bit more persuasive.B) OP posted this with a title that indicated agreement with the concept/that they think this way. So talking straight to OP about the concept presented is extra valid anyway
All that to say even if the overpolicing and sentencing bias ceased today, it would greatly help but there'd still be disproportional violence and incarceration (even 'fair' incarceration) in many of those communities. What would need to also happen is trauma-informed community-wide support and repair, and that is what these communities deserve
It's likely not JUST the overpolicing and sentencing bias (though absolutely is that too), but also intergenerational trauma. Make people grow up beset by violent policing/justice systems long enough and see how well they can emotionally regulate and how well they can teach their children to emotionally regulate. Then racists blame them when they act out how they've been raised and claim it's inherent/genetics (as if that's not what happens to ANY community treated that way)
I think that was the point of the line... Pointing out to people that below average intelligence people are likely to consistently fall for AI stuff, which means half of the population will consistently fall for AI stuff, which is significant enough to be a big issue
I'm guessing typo of 'from' based on context, unless anyone else knows of an FTRM acronym...?
Mostly, but I would never encourage someone to underestimate the violent tendencies of a scared coward who has been cornered or made to feel embarrassed, they'll take any 'safe' opportunity for violence presented to them. A turned back, access to a knife or gun, follow home to retaliate when sleeping/vulnerable, take it out on someone weaker... These all occur. Cowards, yes, and likely to back down from a 'fair' fight in the moment, yes. But cowards can be dangerous all the same, even alone
In Australia it's mandatory for employers to offer 4 weeks paid 'annul leave' (AL) and 10 paid 'personal leave' (PL) days. AL can be used for whatever you want, no need to provide a reason, but you're meant to give reasonable notice. PL is for sickness/wellbeing, carers, funerals, and unexpected things, and you're meant to give a reason/evidence only if taking more than 2 days in a row or taking a day adjacent to public holidays. So a paid PL half/full day for this would be typical/acceptable
I know this has been confirmed as CSP, but it reminds me of Milton from The Talos Principal
The biggest thing for me is that 'shell shocked' by definition only applied to those who had been in active war zones and experienced a very specific type of trauma. It didn't account for the same condition acquired by different means, and therefore a large percentage of those with it wouldn't get recognised for what they have experienced. But I agree with him for the other war-related terms
He's in quite a few shows and movies now as a side character, but he started out doing YouTube videos like that - honestly the comedic character/exaggerated version of himself he used for YouTube was really just a slightly toned down version of Skip Tracer Randy (and most of his side characters tbh lol). I used to watch him when he first started, proud of how far he's come!
Like, when you look at the numbers, the rest of the world (outside of China, Russia, and North Korea) could band together to try to control the US and we still wouldn't be able to amount to anything much of a theat or impact. That's how big the disparity in military and economic power has become. So we grandstand and give opinions and try to sway things, but at the end of the day we have no real leverage and everything to lose. It's a scary world
Unfortunately no-one has the power to stand up to the US other than China or maybe Russia, and that's a whole other minefield. We don't have the military forces to survive any encounter and our economies rely too much on US trade to even consider proper sanctions. Many also rely on US military to prevent local hostilities/regional peace. They've made themselves a world power and there's no real global accountability with the resources available to stop them flexing that power if they want.
Ideal relationship with emotions is to notice them, consider what they are telling you about yourself or the situation, consider whether you need to do something about that (and what/when/how), take into consideration any other relevant emotions or factors, and then act accordingly. The more you do it, the faster, easier, and more automatic this process becomes, and typically the less loud your emotions become too (they don't have to shout to be heard)
*the messages they're giving you may relate to one or more of the following: your boundaries, your priorities, your values, your wellbeing (eg you're too overworked/over tired), your health (eg hormone issues, medication issues), how well the social dynamics you're in are sitting with you, or many other such pieces of information to consider
#8 As a psychologist: your feelings are valid, regardless of what they are. But your reaction to your feelings may not be. This is an important distinction. Feelings are messengers*, ignoring, shaming, or burying them is always a bad idea. But letting them control your actions unchecked and without consideration is also, typically, a very bad idea
I don't think she's quite earning 1.7b per year... Most of her money comes from divorcing Bezos a few years ago
That's a good point, the dead are a famously thankful bunch, it would be hard for the living to compete!
It also seems off numbers wise in any case... Given there's pretty clearly quite a bit less than 100 people on the bus, and the earth one had at least 2, if not 3 people fall out, and then put the number at 97%
I mean, a South African dude just got deported for Neo Nazi protesting, and on the whole we've been at least critical of Israel on paper (with everything I've seen anyway) and not outright condoning like several other countries. But yeah, we could certainly be doing better. And also I don't follow the news too closely so I may be missing the more insidious subtle stuff
#17 I'd argue Uncle Iroh also fits in the centre spot, I think there's a decent amount of absurdism to his overall philosophy and approach to life. Maybe not as obvious as Ted's absurdism but not too far behind!
(For those not in the know, which will be most, there's a song called "Period Sex" on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend tv show which includes the lyrics "period sex, put down a towel, pat it til it's dry" amongst other lyrics such as "it's just mother nature's juice cleanse" and "pretend it's cherry lube". This gif is of the main character)

They're saying a serotonin boost is a bad thing, and that bananas are an addiction risk...?? Like, I don't agree with the whole vibe of the rest of the post but it does have some small level of basis and a vague point (highly overstated and unhelpfully made, but a point nonetheless). But who tf is out there addicted to bananas for one, and since when is having a banana ever been considered a bad thing??
I'm also torn. My concern would be trust for future - next time a partner goes out of their way to give them a really nice day are they going to be anxious and bracing for a breakup? But as a one-off event, this particular example shouldn't be too hard to work through with the next person, and they seemed to appreciate it in hindsight sooo
Thank you for clarifying, I was stumped by the same thing! The way they've put it, it almost seems like they were suggesting they had an autism 'cure', which rang alarm bells for me
