  It’s not just about looks. It’s about novelty, marvel giving way to generosity towards the crunchy parts of the design. And of course, a compelling story in a new world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dunning-Kruger⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it’s really frustrating and quite ironic that pop culture keeps using this obscure scientific reference, that they don’t really understand in its intended context, to describe something that really ought be plainly said: that we all have a tendency to overinflate our competence. if anything Dunning-Krueger showed that only the most seasoned experts judge themselves modestly, and then we’d likely only find their modesty in that particular area of expertise. it’s a commentary on all of us!

  But no, people name-drop this research just to dunk on people and feel smugly superior. (and I am glad I agree with the politics of the intellectual in the OP, that means it’s okay and I’m a bit more competent too!) ugh. I cringe every time i read someone say Dunning-Krueger.

  this isn’t about fringe democratic congressmen addressing hate speech, this is about a sitting president threatening to punish protests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨modern psychiatry be like⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s always a variety of different actors in any social process like this. it’s not any one singular body. but if you want to speak broadly, no the “epidemic” thinking is not widely accepted in psychiatry anymore.

  however the idea of modernity bringing new causes that increase the prevalence of certain mental disorders (which seems contrary to OP’s claim) is still being explored. either way, whether it’s more prevalent now or not, there’s no question that autism predates its label. well, beyond the ontological question of “is it really there if it doesn’t have a name”, which is an admittedly important question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love the future.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get your point here… Russia China Iran are behind this mess and incumbents are losing elections (to…?), but it’s only the US that’s bad right now? And it’s the US fault? And USiams are coping for being worried about other countries?

  Is that your point? Because that really doesn’t make any sense.

  bruh you live in a food desert

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t assume everyone who disagrees with you is naive just because you were naive in your past agreement with them. Really, going to bike friendly places with lots of busses, trains, sidewalks, paths, etc… it’s just very nice. Yes there are conveniences to cars, but the biggest convenience a car can ever offer is freedom from the inconveniences of not having a car in a car-based society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the thing is, this thread has everyone looking at things as sort of a cycling-only society. in actuality, any improvements to human transportation on a societal level would have to encompass a variety of transportation options. the current system in NA emphasizes cars above all else. if they were to transition away from car dominance, it would look like expansion of cycling, busses, and trains at minimum. they all would be expected to run in harmony with one another, meeting the various transportation needs such as distance, accessibility, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Murica⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well that goes back to one of Anon’s last points: that if cities were designed around it, everyone would be fine with it. because in a city designed around cycling, there would be room for passenger cyclists just as there are passenger cars.

  when you think about it, this rebuttle essentially comes down to the plain ole fact that humans have differences of ability. there’s nothing inherent to car-based society that offers disability support that we couldn’t provide with a cycling-based society.
