I don't think its a matter of stowing empathy as much as it is redirecting your energy. I still empathize with those people, but I try to focus energy on my immediate life and the people around me, and thinking about how I can help and improve their lives, support them best, etc. rather than doom scrolling and despairing. Because with the people directly around me I can have a much more tangible impact. I'd like to work up to having a more systemic impact too, but I'm still figuring out that part. But I think its helpful to have a solid base to work from first, you know?

Why are people downvoting someone for admitting they made a mistake? It takes some courage to do that.

Tbh you can reframe all of them as just different flavors of greed

Sure but at what energy cost? Compared to a human brain it would be incredibly energy inefficient.

Sure, but the bacteria they'd be used to from back then would probably be fairly different from the bacteria we're used to today.

I mean for what its worth emotional intelligence (recognizing everyone hates you and just wants your money) is a whole different thing. That said, I'm pretty sure he's just an idiot in general too. Maybe smarter than the average person, but certainly not three standard deviations smarter.

Interesting, was it always that way for you? I feel like for me with books printed on paper I'm actually a lot less picky but for e-readers (or any text on a screen really) the kerning, text size, etc. matters a lot more. The impact is definitely more pronounced for regular screens than e-ink though. Text size I find has the biggest impact on readability on screens for me in general.

Google used to have something like this where you 'paid as you went' by outbidding other advertisers for ad slots on websites. Only worked for google ads, though, and being a google product it was killed eventually...

Isn't UPenn actually just Ivy League?

Out of curiosity, what didn't you like about God of War 2018?

You seem to have all of the comprehension and logical reasoning ability of a middle schooler.

I mean "atheism" is still a dirty word in politics, thousands of years after the prejudice against that started. Apples to oranges, sure, but just goes to show how long it takes for public opinion to shift sometimes.

Sometimes I have a battle of a poop, and in those times I need to be free of clothing to do my best work.

Take my pants all the way off when I poop

Women are you and I

And yet a large portion of the country is still having difficulty with that decision, so here we are

Is Mozilla even publicly traded?

If you need to finance the pizza you probably shouldn't be having that party.
