there are people who make me feel good because they give me various benefits. is that what you mean?
No, but it is a good point to bring up, because it illustrates the attitude you bring to human interactions. It reduces people to transactions, and it shines through. This creates a very strong wall/barrier to forming connections.
Start liking people. Practice finding things you like with people around you. Things that make you feel they are a good person.
React positively to other people when they say or do things.
Show interest in what occupies other people.
(And of course don’t do stupid shit like lash out or insult people to feel better.)
Memoization cards! Good for driving snippets of information through short-term memory, medium-term, and into long-term.
Cut up cardboard pieces roughly credit card sized.
On each write a cue on one side e.g. “Anatomical name of funny bone”, and answer on other side e.g. “ulnar nerve”.
Keep them in stacks of “hourly”, “daily”, “weekly”, “monthly”.
Every hour, go through the hourly pile one by one and try to answer it, then flip and check. If correct, move to daily pile.
Every day, go through daily pile. Correct go to “weekly”, incorrect go back to “hourly”.
Etc for the other piles
i was literally just asking about mosquito bites what the fuck
You also asked if you should lie about safety on stuff to inject into other human beings who need medical aid. That shouldn’t even be a question. Needing money is no excuse to gamble with the lives of others.
The music is stored in compressed form 7z, which as far as I can tell contains a few notes, a folder A that says “1000 x notes”, a folder B that says “1000 x A”, a folder C that says “1000 x B” etc in a long LONG string.
Except they made funnier folder names.
Instructions unclear. Sent them dick pics.
It’s either a scam or a hellscape.
Is it a privately owned company under at-will employment? Then don’t allow yourself loyalty to an abstract entity that would ruin your life if it was more convenient than not.
At any rate: If you change, you are safer long term. When things one day get hard, it is healthy to know that you are able to move employment on your own terms.
Also the you don’t have to use it, is a weak argument not even for or against
“Our pizza now comes with a topping of human feces!”
“Ew”
“What? Just scrape it off if you don’t like it”
I’m a software developer, and understand the technicalities and options available to me. I am capable of forking Firefox and make myself a custom build with anything I don’t like stripped out. (Capable of, not wanting to.)
They removed “We don’t sell your data and we never will” from their FAQ and they added “We may sell your data” to the ToS.
I am unhappy about this change. It is a clear sign that the people in charge of Firefox want to sell user data, and that the irrecoverable enshittification path has been chosen. It means that at some point in the next few years, I can’t trust Firefox’ with my privacy. And they sure as fuck don’t have anything else going for them: The browser eats memory and freezes my camera during video conferencing, and is plain not supported in some of the software I use at work.
The rationale is probably something entirely reasonable, like “While we do not intend to sell user data, the phrasing was too vague and not helpful. What is selling, and what is user data, really?” An organization with strong privacy values would be so far from anything “bad” that the phrasing as it was would not be a problem for them.
It’s irrelevant that right now privacy settings and xyz and telmentry is clear and opt in etc. Because the point is that they are gearing up to change that. The settings will be less clear, user data will be separated into shit like “operability assistance”, “personal information”, “experience improvement metrics” with some of it enabled by default because, etc.
Reading past the headline, the article goes on to say that calorie in/out is correct but hard to calculate usefully and thus they recommend strategies that are easier to keep stable.
It’s pretty shitty to equate a first worlder feeling hungry for a bit to actual starvation. One is unpleasant. The other is serious.

They want people to feel like rebels with a cause.
This is a good symbol to make a lot of people your enemies. Your ingroup can now rally against “the establishment”.
It couldn’t work before, because it made too many enemies for your small ingroup, but we’ve reached a tipping point where it is feasible to keep a thing going for a while.
1 minute, 60 seconds, 60 thousand milliseconds. I work with computer systems that monitor themselves to make sure they don’t take more than 10 milliseconds. At 50 milliseconds, they would raise alarms.
It takes 100 milliseconds to blink.
So, we’d notice pretty much immediately :)
And then all networked computers that assume a response within 30 seconds would go bonkers and maybe need to be restarted.
I’d react by assuming IT misconfigured the Network Time Protocol service that keeps machine clocks synced and inform them.
Not all of them do. What do you want? Rationalization of a wish to generalize over a huge geographical region?
I sympathize with you feeling that way, but of course it’s irrational.
How do you imagine having an “open discussion” when you reject overwhelming evidence out of hand?
More specifically, what openness will you bring?
There is this strange belief that humor is exempt from consequences.
In the book “Jam” by “Yahtzee Croshaw” there is a post-apocalyptic sect formed by a group of people from an internet forum. They are not stupid of course; they form a sect ironically. Then they worship a rambling drunk old man called Bob ironically and have ironic sermons and ironically imprison nonbelievers at the ironic orders of the High Priest.
If you point out that this is stupid and evil, they will roll their eyes and go “Duh!”, then ironically execute you for heresy.
If you do microcontroller, look up PID regulator functions. Stabilizes anything measurable with super basic math.
