  • What items must you take with you every time you leave the house?

    Jump

  • There is nothing I always take with me, but I usually have my phone and underwear. Everything else is up in the air.

  • Socks must be tight and go as high up the calf as possible.

  • tiring having 2 personalities?

    I personally find it very calming. Personal me doesn't need to worry about interactions that work me had. Similarly, work me doesn't worry about all the stuff in my personal life, allowing me to focus on work.

  • It helps me read faster, but IDK what effect it has on comprehension in a longer text. If I struggled to read I might be tempted to try it, but thankfully that's not one of my many issues.

  • but they bore me. And engaging EVERY topic? I disagree: to extroverts this comes naturally, effortless whereas I have to consciously engage and listen to a boring story. To me this is like a second job of top of my duties.

    Yes, you will occasionally be bored at work. Yes, socializing is a form of work for us introverts. But what you don't seem to get is that this isn't a second job; it's part of the main job.

  • One person's "getting to the point" is another person's "stripping away context", unfortunately. Sometimes we just have to suffer through a long anecdote because the speaker can't separate the relevant and irrelevant parts themself. They're not trying to waste our time, they just organize information differently.

  • The problem here isn't just your introversion. You see smiling at the receptionist for five minutes a day as an unacceptable working condition; but you need to understand that part of keeping a job you like includes managing your coworkers. Maybe for you that really is unacceptable, but other introverts, myself included, have accepted it as the cost of doing business.

    I have myself occasionally had coworkers or other call me rude or condescending, and I've never really found a way out from under that when it's happened. What works better is setting a good first impression, working extra hard the first few weeks to give off an impression of humility, helpfulness, cheerfulness, and kindness. Then later if you do have a bad day, or need to communicate something urgently, or need to correct someone's mistake, they'll see that as the exception rather than just "oh that's how she is".

  • YSK that Gerrymandering allows politicians to determine election outcomes by changing electoral maps. In most western countries, it's illegal. Gerrymandering is common in the United States

  • No shenanigans except the party picks the rep instead of the voters. Maybe you have a party you trust to do that, but I don't.

  • [Politics] What is, in your opinion, a necessary set of minimal restrictions on freedom of thought, speech and expression?

    Jump

  • depends on scope

    I think that a gov't has an interest in suppressing calls to violence, hate speech, and medical misinformation in the name of protecting its citizenry. I don't think it can ethically suppress other kinds of expression, especially political express, most especially criticism of the government.

    I think a voluntary community, however, can ethically set much narrower limits on expression within community space. If a group of friends has a movie night and Jamie keeps spoiling the endings, it's okay to stop inviting her to movie night. An online forum dedicated to urbanism can remove posts containing pro-car propaganda, and ban repeat offenders. A school can have a dress code.

    But no person; no organization; no entity below the level of, say, Ma'at; none can set limits on what someone thinks. Thoughts are not consistently voluntary, and are not consistently the result of an ethical process, anymore than laughing when ticked or blinking in a bright light.

    Why does everyone hate Income tax ?

    Jump

  • I don't hate it. I think it's one of the better taxes.

    People hate it because it feels like a bait-and-switch, the difference between salary and take-home pay. They also hate it because it comes with paperwork.

  • Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?

    Jump

  • Windows 10 is no longer receiving security updates

    Not all machines that ran W10 are capable of running W11

    W11 is full of AI integration, always-on data collection, and other no-sell bloatware

    Linux is easier to use than ever and free

  • Fair bit of difference between a map app and a navigation app. I'll use a tool to find out where I'm going but I don't need one to tell me how to get there.
