@karlitomarxismo @uncledoomer ehhh maybe, I’d consider that outlier behavior. People tend to stick to their levels in the hierarchy, whether that’s intelligence, social status, class level etc.

Empathize with, sure. Higher IQ can have theory of mind for lower IQ, and maybe a bit in reverse

@feelsdesperate @JustDeezGuy THANK YOU. Point 4 is the entire argument. The people to blame for the deaths are the opportunists who took advantage of free money for aid and used it for nefarious purposes.

“The leaky bucket is unavoidable” folks deserve to be shot out of a cannon

@Staroxvia Wouldn’t DC on transmission lines have a huge magnetic field that would mess with everything around it? I thought a large advantage of AC was that flipping the direction of current 60 times a second cancels out all magnetic fields?

Marriage isn’t 50/50.
Marriage is 100/100.

If you're married, "my money" and "your money" do not exist. It's OUR money.

That's the only way to win... together.

Separate finances create division, but when you handle money together, you build trust, teamwork, and a future you both believe in.

@RealLiveAxel @PaleoPole @Hitchslap1 This is correct and how genuinely smart well rounded people operate. Intelligence applied unevenly to the human socialization structures is wasted.

Anyone can find solutions, actually enacting them is genuinely much harder

Fixed that for you

Ok, I'm exercising good judgement and not posting this

[deterministic_dolphin @deterministic_d]

@FangYi11101 Yeah it’s unfortunate, I’ve been in hiring meetings where a few voices gatekeep for such silly unnecessary things.

Most of the time the well adjusted interviewers have a “feel” for competence based off objective measurements and other factors. This type of guy doesn’t do that.

[forward deployed ccp gf @FangYi11101]

I've noticed the interviewers who fit the "Comic Book Guy" stereotype tend to be the most jealous gatekeepers in technical rounds.

[deterministic_dolphin @deterministic_d]

@djcows Any real problem solver in the world knows the control system needs both reactive short term solutions and methodical long term solutions. Those are the knobs to achieve your goal.

The lack of competency is staggering. Poor Europeans.

[Boring_Business @BoringBiz_]

Working in finance is realizing that the job is often an escape from real life for a lot of people in the industry

The MDs and VPs with children who are staying in the office past 10 PM instead of spending time with their kids

The PE and HF portfolio managers who continue to stick around despite having a net worth that should have made them leave a decade ago

Some of them are there because they truly love the grind. Others because they are deeply unhappy with their personal lives and view the job as the only avenue where they have full control over the outcomes

The irony is that the unhappiness stems from all the sacrifices they made for this job in the first place, whether that is in their relationships or friendships

But the stockholm syndrome is real, and their careers are so core to their personality that it is impossible to leave behind

@loganb I emailed a city water rep who claimed a large algae bloom, which I don’t fully believe.

Yeah it’s consistent, every 3-6 months the pre-filter steps 1,2,3 come out like this. Sometimes worse than others, but always brown.

Get an under sink RO system, worth the peace of mind

[deterministic_dolphin @deterministic_d]

@bearskinneck999 @steelworkers Sorry bud, you’re unfortunately in the exact worst spot to be in. The billionaires and centi millionaires will find loopholes around this. High W2 earners will continue to be the only group that actually pay taxes in this country.

I’m also in that bucket, I feel ya.

[deterministic_dolphin @deterministic_d]

@besttrousers @FreeNortherner You don’t have a moral high ground because you acknowledge this fact and then continue to live your life with no changes.

A society bound by this world view would cause more suffering. You aren’t the only one who gets to define 2nd order effects.

[deterministic_dolphin @deterministic_d]

@rowanfornow Assume 90% of our GDP is sent to 90 poor countries.

What is the 2nd order effect of 1% GDP to Somalia Gvt that uses it to wage war & mutilate genitals.

Fine, 1% of GDP to an NGO. Whoops, they’re corrupt too

Btw, this decision caused 10 million Americans to overdose on opioids

[deterministic_dolphin @deterministic_d]

@questionableway Your vote for a candidate that causes drone strike on civilians. Are you responsible?

Let’s say you vote for a party that implements policy X, which causes economic downturn via 2nd order effect , which made us less prepared for the comet of 2300 which kills 5 billion.
