@wil_da_beast630 WE MEN ARE TELLING YOU WOMEN TO BE ON GUARD FOR VERY SPECIFIC MEN WHO WE KNOW WILL HURT YOU.

… and then she’ll turn around and talk about rape culture and how men don’t want to protect women.

@rutgerbregman @Aella_Girl Looks like you want to listen to…@elonmusk ?! That’s the best example of the Group2.

Niet helemaal waar, in Noorwegen was onderaan de streep het vertrek groter dan de belastingwinst. Dat risico bestaat hier, al vind ik zelf dat wie dit betreft niet zo moet zeiken.
Wat denk ik veel meer meespeelt is dat veel ondernemers het zat zijn en sws al willen vertrekken. De boosheid lijkt meer te zitten op het gevoel dat de overheid je aan alle kanten dwars zit, en áls je dan succes hebt komen “ze” dat nog eens afpakken.

The essence

1. Identify recurring themes in the patient’s life. They are recognizable across different relationships, in the past and present, and in interactions with the therapist.

2. Patients cannot tell us about the themes and patterns they live out because they do not know. We observe, infer, and experience them.

3. Recognize and address the core themes and patterns as they arise in the therapy relationship.

4. Recognize that addressing them in the therapy relationship can be painful for patient and therapist both. The patterns recur for a reason and protect against deeper pain. This work requires timing and tact. It requires a paradoxical balance of empathy and confrontation.

5. Recognize that you will need to revisit the same themes over time from many angles and over many iterations.

The rest is the details.

Claude Code can design furniture part by part and then give you a bill of materials to order each part and put it together yourself

And way cheaper than big interior brands sell you their furniture

Furnishing my house I discovered how absolutely insane prices are for the most basic cheap materials put together with a fancy brand tied to it

One shop had a sofa for $30,000 😂

I think with Opus 5.5 and other models easily operating 3d programs like Blender and FreeCAD (both free) it makes more sense to cut out the middle man and go straight to suppliers and design and build your own furniture

Which in a way makes customers more powerful (they can get exactly what they want and usually for cheaper without the markup)

Anyway @theannalux designed this table from scratch, she's not a furniture designer, not a coder, she just had an idea of a style and worked with Claude Code in the terminal (far superior to the app I will keep saying this)

If you design your own furniture and buy the raw materials directly, you can save 85% compared to premium brands like Poliform

That means the $30,000 sofa becomes $4,500! And the $8,000 dinner table becomes just $1,200!

You can see where the idea comes from that AI will make everything 5x to 20x cheaper, and it's already starting!

I’m getting more therapy inquiries from people who explicitly say they’re NOT looking for validation.

They had past therapy that offered validation and little else.

It’s a sad situation when patients want to do real psychological work and it’s the therapists who can’t or won’t.

Parents of boys and parents of girls divorce at the same rate until the kid turns 13. Then girls' parents become more likely to divorce.

The gap peaks at 15 and is gone by 19. It doesn’t show up if the dad grew up with a sister close in age.

DOES BEING SEDENTARY GIVE YOU BRAIN DAMAGE?

Imagine 911 older adults in rural China, all free of dementia, wearing accelerometers for a week while researchers scanned their brains.

What they found was striking.
Once daily sitting crossed about 7 hours, gray matter volume started shrinking in key areas — especially the hippocampus (memory), frontal regions (decision-making), temporal lobes, and the insula.

Even worse: long, unbroken stretches of sitting (not just total time) were linked to smaller volumes in the thalamus and other critical spots.

Light activity and moderate exercise were associated with larger volumes in some of the same regions.

The researchers’ conclusion: both how much you sit and how you sit (continuous vs broken up) tracks with measurable brain structure differences in older adults.
