I came here to post the same video. I couldn't understand it until 1600-ish. My wife immediately recognized swinu as pigs early in the video.

I know you’re downvoted but every time I read a story like this I get the feeling it’s mostly fiction.
Before there was social media there was click bait headlines from supposedly reputable news agencies.

Social media gave people easy ways to engage and share. And it turns out what people engage with and share is click bait/rage bait.

So maybe not technically inherent but a natural consequence of creating networks for viral sharing of content.

It answers the question posed. Unless you think only morons have opinions that differ from yours.
The train of thought is 1. The economy is making me nervous. 2. You're right to be nervous. 3. Then what are your short positions, since you're so smart?

Non-sequitur.

I actually use the em dash. I learned it from Butterick’s practical typography years ago.

Maybe it wasn't the math, but the abuse.

Yeah… but if you had to rip heads off of demons in your day job you might not feel that way.

There are a lot of Subways and many times they are in strip malls and gas stations. That could be an explanation. Can’t explain the bologna part.
Re:The hardest working font in Manhattan on Saturday February 15, 2025 @10:22AM (#43059103)
I know it was a long essay and I skimmed most of it myself. But the author definitely mentions this and even has a picture from the 1895 book you linked to.
If you’re looking controlled study results you could refer to the post.

If you want to provide your own anecdotal evidence to refute the parent comment, fire away.

Re:Why are tech people suddenly so into homeschooling? on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @11:13AM (#42712746)
Homeschooling is another way to protect your kids from social media. If they aren't subjected to forced hang outs with kids who are all on social media, it becomes much easier to control their access to it (or rather its access to them).

Can’t tell if serious.

Everything has an app. And pretty soon everything will have an “AI”.

Very well done. When I was color blind I just picked all 3s to get through level as quickly as possible.

You’ve given me an idea: tiny houses that move on rails… the trains are the houses!
But if it says “eat more pie”, don’t listen.
I hear you. I think this story says more about a particular organization and/or individual’s role than it does RTO in general.
Re:Marshmallow Test Fails to Replicate on Friday August 02, 2024 @04:00PM (#41142109)
I think in general, those divisions do exist.

People who lean right, tend to think movement from lower classes to higher classes is possible with hard work and that a person’s starting point doesn’t matter as much.

People who lean left tend to think where you start is the biggest predictor of where you will end up regardless of how hard you work. Hence the reasons one side favors the social safety net more than the other side does.

That has been my observation at least.

Re:Marshmallow Test Fails to Replicate on Friday August 02, 2024 @03:55PM (#41142066)
I agree. There very clearly is a causation link between certain behaviors and long term success. Household income is something people have direct control over. I can go out and immediately cut mine in half tomorrow if I choose to. Doubling it would be harder but i imagine I could do that too if I took the appropriate actions.
