I’m on the same boat. What do you think the root causes of procrastination were in your case?
Re:Social anxiety isn't about being liked

Yes! I’ve noticed that when people struggle to manage their emotions, it often comes out in a kind of jabbing or teasing way. It’s usually not really about the other person, it’s more a reflection of their own insecurities. For example, the guy jabbing his friend for being short is probably not that tall himself and may feel insecure about it deep down. There could be some unprocessed feelings around it. The genuinely tall person usually couldn’t care less. The thought of making that jab doesn’t really even surface lol
Re:Environment Shapes Emotional Cognitive Abilities More Than Genes

Children that grow up in narcissistic homes often report having different recollections of their childhoods based on the particular role assigned to them by the narcissistic parent. These roles range from golden child, to lost child, to scapegoat, truth teller and many more. Some children also end up taking on the enabler role unknowingly. My mom is a covert narcissist and it took me many, many decades to realize it since most of the literature online deals with overt narcissism. I don’t mean to sound prescriptive, this may or may not be relevant to your specific case but hopefully it’s helpful to someone in a similar situation as mine.

Looks great!
Is there a rate limit?

Re:Why you, personally, should want a larger human population
on Sunday February 25, 2024 @12:13AM (#39497870)
This may be a bit reductive but the article is basically saying that the larger the population the quicker progress and innovation will occur. What’s unclear though is if this progress and innovation leads to greater human happiness and fulfillment. As we’ve seen lately, the opposite could also be true. With climate change on the horizon, we may have even reached peak human happiness sometime in the late 20th century

As soon as they added the 3-eyed protruding camera, iPhone’s lost a lot of their appeal.
Tesla vehicles look fairly bland, dry and devoid of emotion to me.
There are things that objectively make something more beautiful. Symmetry for example. Not all beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Isn’t knowing something and then pretending you don’t a form of manipulation? I’m not trying to be snarky, this is a genuine question. Ie, I can understand the strategical advantage this could provide, but struggling to see it from a moral perspective.

I don’t think non-assimilation is limited to people of just one specific religious background. To state the problem is X when factors such as education, household income and circumstances of migration likely have a much higher correlation seem to indicate a sweeping generalization.

I understand how a streaming SQL engine works, but I’m wondering what the real world use cases for this are. Is this more for large scale enterprises?

It’s not clear how the product team decides work to be done. The article jumps from data driven decisions not working to OKR’s that would apply once a product direction is set. Would be great to get some clarification
