  • I feel my social battery recover when I have positive experiences with friends and even with strangers. But I used to think I was introverted because working up to do anything social was a huge drain. Turns out the problem isn't people, it's my anxiety...

    Are there any introverts that don't have much anxiety? What's the opposite like?

  • I think blanket labeling an entire region of people is a pretty conservative thing to do TBH.

  • That's what I was thinking, it's not even a glass fiber-optic. Works fine for audio though and lasers are cool, so it all balances out

    Edit: I am aware that mostly anything works good for a digital signal.

  • My mom says that people who don't have "value" don't deserve to live and that "depression" is just an excuse for laziness. What's is your rebuttal for it?

  • I think I remember something about the clouds caused by massive container ships going away because they outlawed to really cheap crude oil their engines used. But the clouds actually had a cooling effect on the plant because the clouds reflected more light than the ocean. So some people are experimenting with spraying salt water into the air from these ships so the salt will create nucleation points for the clouds.

    All this to say is coulds good, fossil fuels bad.

  • What does value mean and how do we get value? It seems more like she's saying that she doesn't value some people, and that we should have the same values as her.

    But she doesn't get to determine value, the whole community collectively assigns value. We've all hade times in our life where we were less and more productive to give up on someone during a low point isn't just laughably evil but also a bad investment.

    It costs basically nothing to be nice to someone and that could turn around their depression (there's tons of anecdotal examples of this).

    Are there any people or things that are valuable to your mother solely because they bring joy? Are friendships purely transactional, are you supposed to win friendships and extract more joy than the other party? Dunno just feels like she hasn't thought very deeply about this.

  • Bro, you didn't read the book.

  • More than that, I'm surprised that there are Christians that can read the whole Bible and say that the whole thing should be taken as literally true. But also believe that you don't have to learn anything about the cultures that wrote the thing to understand what it's saying. No wonder Americans can only read at a 6th grade level.

  • I don't know. To me agency and free will feel pretty separate. Events are necessitated by the past and the laws of the universe. But us choosing to do something is a part of that, and so are our values. I'm not sure if I would act any different if I believed in Compatibilism or free will, but I don't think I would. How would life be any different?

    Unless you're getting determinism mixed up with pre-destination

  • What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?

    Jump

  • Maybe not technical, but teaching is weird.

    If people aren't having fun/engaged they're not learning much. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. It's so frustrating to come across someone who writes the standards you're supposed to follow and they are the most boring and fake teacher you've experienced.

  • Trump Designates Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

  • That fentanyl is primarily coming from the Middle East.

  • Do you have a good source for that claim?

  • Trump Designates Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

    Jump

  • I know, they should have access to something safer than fentanyl, especially since the way it's taken it only lasts very briefly and is very addictive.

  • Trump Designates Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

    Jump

  • I think I saw or heard something by Hamilton Morris about China being where most of the fentanyl is made. China has some amazing drug manufacturing facilities and they usually make stuff that people need. But the chemists there are really smart and can make lots of different chemicals.

    If the drugs aren't coming from China where do you think they're coming from? My source is admittedly weak, that's why I was asking to be corrected.

    Also how do you prevent drugs from entering a country? Wouldn't reducing the demands for drugs be a more permanent solution?

  • Trump Designates Fentanyl as a Weapon of Mass Destruction

    Jump

  • So, can some folks here correct my ignorance. I was under the impression that most of the fentanyl entering the US is being manufactured in China. It doesn't sound crazy to me that this is some sort of conspiracy to weaken the American public.

    I'm not sure why we can't just decriminalize drugs so folks and do heroin in peace. Or maybe fix some of the problems that are causing people to do drugs.
