  • Most office centers these days pipe in low-dB white noise to mitigate some of the chaotic noises of office work. Unfortunately if you're the kind of person with a neurodivergence that makes you sensitive to sensory overload this could be one of the reasons office spaces make you feel so exhausted 😃

  • You probably don't walk around barefoot in a major population center I'm guessing?

    I'm also plenty comfy walking around my suburban neighborhoods and nature trails barefoot but you better believe I'm putting shoes on in the city areas. Even if you don't step on something dangerous those streets are extra filthy

  • No, this is how a graph showing quartiles will always look because quartiles, by definition, always include a fixed percentage of the studied population under them.

    In this case the lower quartile will always have 25% of the population under it, 50% under the second quartile, and 75% under the third quartile.

    Quartiles break a population into 4 equal portions.

  • This holds true for music, but what about other forms of media like books, games, and movies which don't tend to see the same kind of revenue streams resulting from free advertising?

    If I pirate a movie, for example, it might be because I didn't want to go to the theater and now my wife and I can both not buy a ticket and watch from home. I guess I could see how some big studio games could benefit through merchandising in the long run but if your game doesn't have merch or any other revenue streams then what?

  • Sometimes I pirate media as a trial run. If a get a few chapters into a book or an hour or so into a game and decide I hate it then great, I didn't waste my money. The flip side of this is I have to be honest with myself and shell out when I feel I've gotten enough out of the media. The nice thing is that I get to draw that line for myself rather than some third party arbitrarily telling me how long my trial should last.

  • Let's not forget that the leaders of major banks meet with the president and prominent politicians regularly for fun networking and dinners. Big banks know that marijuana is profitable and are absolutely livid that state banks and credit unions are hoovering up all kinds of solid cash flow just because the fed says they (the big banks) can't get involved.

    I'm telling you right now, the HOUR cannabis gets descheduled your JPMs and Wells' are going to be knocking down doors of local dispensaries to sell accounts.
