i are, I generally have to make about the corrections per message in order for it to even be legible

(left it in all its glory for you guys)

Me too, eyelash extensions that rival the city’s stadium in importance.

The nazi party used a lot of euphemism surrounding their genocide plan and a lot of german citizens claimed afterwards they didn’t know the extent of it (davon haben wir nichts gewusst), but the antisemitism was immediately visible obviously what with the kidnapping. The camps—a bit less so, but a lot of historians feel they were more of an open secret than a secret. It was definitely less globally visible than what’s happening in Palestine though and the international community was justifiably outraged when they saw the extent and brutality of the camps.

That’s nice to hear

They shout out a stat from gallup I hadn’t seen— 43% of people gallup polled in 2023 identified as independent. Much higher than I thought.

Edit to add the gallup source they referenced.

Wtf, breaches aside why would a health care company be working with advert companies?

Active support of something totally morally unacceptable seems more morally culpable than refusing to participate. I don’t think most people are consequentialists—the how matters.

It boggles my mind to think multiple humans in a boardroom somewhere okayed this at some point. For babies.

Related to bargaining, I read the wiki article on Iran’s nuclear program the other day and was surprised at how hard they are trying to do their nuclear program “by the book” while the US keeps blocking everyone else from agreeing that they’re entitled as long as they follow the guidelines (paris agreement etc).

50% of the voters

Detectorists

It would be interesting to look at generational differences in what people consider a splurge at the grocery store nowadays. Things like chips that didn’t used to be luxury priced cost $5-$6 dollars a bag now. I’ve always considered items more than about $4 (for individual items) to be expensive.

Things that I ate regularly that have drifted into “splurge” territory for me in the last few years:
chips
Veggie italian sausage
Naked juice/bolthouse juice
grapes
chocolate chips
pineapple juice
potato bread
salad dressing
croutons
yogurt
cottage cheese

Oh good another economist swearing things are good because they’re using 2022 as a reference (@ that dumb thanksgiving anecdote). It baffles me that they’re baffled.

I always imagine it going:

Uni admin: “They’re approving kids for how much?! Well fuck $3000 a semester, let’s triple it!”

And now universities depend on that increased revenue and there’s no simple way to roll it back.

If any of this recognizably lasts 1000 years I’ll have a better opinion of it, ancient egypt is still smirking at us

Hundreds of years of infighting

Somehow I don’t think insulting people is going to get them to want to participate in your shit show

I haven’t played around with them, are the new models able to actually reason rather than just predictive text on steroids?

I remember that! I also remember it passing pretty quickly, don’t think it was effective. And I disagree with all of the nay sayers on the usefulness of those subs. Since that time I’ve noticed a lot more people willing to speak about work as a simple contractual arrangement. Not too long ago you would be called lazy and lacking in team spirit etc. for holding boundaries at work. I’ve had more co-workers express the ‘work to live not live to work’ mentality.

Maybe you guys didn’t grow up around as many people who put their entire human energy into their jobs as I did, but in some places there has been a clear shift in how people are thinking about work. Boomers used to let ther vacation expire guys. I am not seeing that in the workplace anymore. Don’t forget the ‘lying flat’ movement that was/is concurrent and frequently discussed in those subs as well. I truly think the antiwork sub helped spark a conversation in the public zeitgeist and helped spur a shift in thought.
