you should read Cameron & Quinn. It's about work culture. IF you have a very rule based culture, it could be completely wrong if you want to create and be adaptable. You will simpl…

I started to smoke because it looked cool. Just like in the movies, in black and white. But in reality I did not look as good, it was expensice and bad for my health and my teeth g…

This is really hillarious. It reminds me of Ask the Dust and Ham on Rye, where the protagonist lacks abit of self awareness but has plenty of confidence

That is absolutely wonderful! I've also ordered the book "Wonders and Rarities". I love reading about an unexplored world full of wonder, but it's difficult to find good books abou…

I agree with most of what you are saying in you posts. I'm not sure it's only fear, but a lack of abstract thinking. I recommend you to look up Cynefin, which is a strategy for mak…

Because you are reducing it and devaluing it to something you think you understand. if you understand humans as "jumbles of molecules and atoms..." then you don't understand humans…

Stop using AWS! Linode was great for me up untill they got bought and now they have been doing abrupt "maintenance" work and stuff that Linode never did. But AWS is killing the wor…

it's completely normal to take part in gossip. in fact, it's a social skill. if you are afraid of what people say about you, then you are probably the problem here. i'm not going t…

only givers think that way. Sometimes it's not best to pass the ball but take a shot

again, that's not true. It can be argued that it can't be proven beyong 50%, which means that it's a toss-up and parents with low conscientiousness have children with high scores. …

That's not actually true. If you look at personality tests based on Big 5/Neo-Pi, which are the most accepted in psychology, scores on conscientiousness and the underlying factors …

Personally I like sell-outs, writers who aim to please and are complete morons. It's schlock and I love it. In fat, i'm thinking of paying imbeciles who can't write to write me som…

and the gas is actually just fart

I like those designs.

where do you have that from? you can obviously predict human behaviour very accurately, so you must base that on something. this is a serious situation after all. are you a psychol…

Good shout. I felt AO was too mature for me back then. The writing itself was much more advanced than wow.

happiness is all about having good relationships in your life. that will give confidence, meaning and the ability to cope with difficulties. Happiness is not a journey inward.

we need to send out a probe now before it's too late

there's another issue with measuring too much: if you only derive value of that you can measure, you will constantly feel bad when doing things that have no apparent measurable val…

that's a myth. it's the opposite that is true.

what is the consequence if i set my dmarc to reject? i'm afraid

that's a terrible definitioin of addiction and health. Alot of people with addictions don't think they have a problem and are unable to see it. It can affect alot of people negativ…

You are actually the one who strikes me as cold and lacking empathy here, because you don't understand that no one got hurt in any serious manner. You also talk about things that a…

You are just arguing to "win" the agument. It make no sense. No one was actually harmed by the incident. I bet if you asked the people who got pranked today, they would remember it…

what mystery? was it about time travel?
