@w0rthlesswriter I definitely understand the concerns! The auction works in such a way that the binds are sent as gifts to the person who donates the highest amount, as a thank you. Youre not paying for the bind itself + there is no personal profit :)
@scoutcassidy Also regarding the legality of the whole auction, I’ll try to clear it up. It operates in a way that the binds are sent as gifts to the person who donates the highest amount, as a thank you. You’re not paying for the bind itself
@scoutcassidy Hi! It’s completely legal to auction a rebound published work not only for charity, but also for personal profit. A lot of people do it. What the buyer is paying for is the design of the cover that was altered. Please look this up before posting things like these.
@scoutcassidy All I’m saying is that this post would be unnecessary if you looked into the topic before posting, it starts unnecessary rumors and plants ideas into people’s heads about something that’s completely okay to do. I’m not trying to be mean at all
I want to say a big thank you to everyone who attended #ENVIR400 this quarter! I loved hearing everyone’s insights and you guys were so supportive for the lightning talks. Favorite class by far! Special thanks to Sean for all the fun and Dum Dums 🍭 🌱🌎🤍
Do your course evaluations for #ENVIR400 !! Who doesn’t want those 2 extra credits for filling out a 5 minute survey?? Let’s get the response rate up to 85%! (Imagine how much work those 2 credits would require otherwise)
TIP for presenting: STOP FOCUSING ON YOURSELF, think “this presentation is not about me, it’s about helping my audience.”
Studies have found that an increase in generosity decreases amygdala activity, aka stress!
Tried it on myself and it actually works!! #ENVIR400
I want to wish good luck to everyone presenting on Wednesday! I’ve been there and honestly, it’s not that scary. You’re going to do great and we will do our best to provide support!! ⭐️ #ENVIR400
Also, since Sean has encouraged us to harass one another (in a good way of course), fill out the course evaluation when you get the chance this week! If we can get the response rate over 85%, we get 2 extra credit points!��� #ENVIR400
Editing my second presentation draft right now. Who else feels like they need extra 5 slides to fit in all the peer review recommendations?? Damn.. explaining things briefly is hard. #ENVIR400
Better question, why focus so much on money when it won’t be there to save you in the middle of an environmental crisis? The main priority should always be taking care of the environment you live in, and then of yourself.
@_martinmichalko Perhaps to avoid direct manipulation and to keep some privacy in this social media fueled world. And of course to keep that information from being used against them
Cook has mentioned this infamous book by Daniel Kahneman, which explores system 1 and system 2 thinking when making decisions. If you’re interested in how misinformation works, the psychology and the science behind it, definitely recommend! #EnviroComm22
Look at this amount of misinformation tactics! Explains why it’s so easy to get the wrong information these days.. Study this picture and make sure to watch out next time #EnviroComm22
I cannot recommend this game created by @johnfocook enough! It’s so great to understand how to tackle misinformation. Fight your cranky, climate denier uncle! #EnviroComm22
In short, assuming that something bad that happened after vaccination was caused by it, is the same as assuming your green socks bring you luck because your team won when you wore them last. Ridiculous, if you think about it! Correlation/causation misjudgment #EnviroComm22
