Hot take: the Luce is beautiful. It's just not Ferrari.

This screams mass consumer luxury. Like the Swatch Moonswatch vs. Omega Speedmaster.

I would guess the causation is in reverse. Emotionally unstable people experience psychological suffering first hand and are therefore more sympathetic to the need for collective/gov support.

Your perception of reality is a strong influence on whether you go on to develop a mental health condition.

What does the democrat party teach you?

- I’m a victim.
- It’s misogyny.
- It’s racism.
- It’s classism.
- Etc.

It does not teach responsibility and ownership.

They would rather point the finger outward than inward.

That belief does not get you far in life.

Tall men are 4x more likely to be liked by women on dating apps than short men. Interestingly it only matters in a hetero context. Gay men and gay women have no preference for height. https://t.co/AvCbyKCcgu

[Yonan @yonann]

Clavicular says women on dating apps are filtering out 95% of men with one metric

"Every single inch you grow past 6 foot you're adding an additional $500 to your average annual income in America"

"Women are literally filtering out people completely under outrageous height percentile.. they put their height filter on 6'3 and they just eliminated 95% of men right off the bat"

I see people doing drugs or having a psychotic break on the ttc almost every day now. Glad the city is working on plant equity tho

[City of Toronto 🇨🇦 @cityoftoronto]

Have you heard of tree inequity?

It’s when some communities have fewer trees than others, leading to hotter streets, less shade and poorer air quality.

Toronto is the first city in Canada to adopt a tree equity approach. Using the Tree Equity Tool, we combine land‑cover, demographic and socio‑economic data to identify where more trees are needed and help residents explore planting options in their neighbourhoods.

If you’re looking to help create a greener Toronto, you can request a FREE tree in front of your home. 🌱

18-year-old Melika Azizi has been executed by the Islamic Regime in Iran under the charge of being an
"Enemy of God" (Moharebeh).

She was violently arrested during the nationwide January protests in the city of Masal, Gilan Province of Iran, following her participation in protests against the Islamic Regime.

Melika was held in Lakan Prison in Rasht, where she was subjected to physical abuse and denied contact with her family, who also faced pressure by the Islamic regime's security forces.

Rest in Peace, Melika 🙏💔

I suspect this is true of ADHD as well. Disorders, by definition have to be abberations from the psychological norm. A "disorder" that becomes ubiquitously diagnosed ceases to have meaning.

[Barbara fringe psychologist @12PursueTruth]

Autism:
“The spectrum has become so accommodating that I fear that it has now been stretched so far that it has become meaningless and is no longer useful as a medical diagnosis.”

Problem is that psychologists, and increasingly a flood of master’s level therapists have come to rely on the autism diagnosis to support their practice. Their livelihood. I suspect schools face a similar reliance on autism diagnoses for extra funding.

Furthermore: Parents love it because their child gets extra services. Students love it because it makes them special. Drug companies love it because they profit from drugs.

Psychologists are supposed to be the gatekeepers on diagnoses, but we are not doing very well at it.

The most enlightening perspective on Iran —

[Kaivalya @Bhagwa_Piller]

20 years ago today (Aug 15, 2004), 16-year-old Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh was publicly hanged from a crane in Neka, Iran.

Sahaaleh was convicted of fornication under Iranian Penal Code Article 221 (a crime against chastity) when she was 13 years old. Following a police raid, she was discovered alone in a car with a boy.

She was jailed and given 100 lashes. While in prison, she was further allegedly tortured and raped by prison guards. She told her grandmother that she could only walk on all fours because of the pain.

In the following years, she was arrested twice more for crimes against chastity, and both convictions were punished by flogging and jail time.

Under Iranian Penal Code Article 136, a fourth conviction for a hadd crime for which the punishment was carried out three previous times results in the death penalty

That fourth conviction started in May 2003, when Sahaaleh was arrested at home and charged with adultery and immorality.

Police presented a report which they claimed supported the charges against Sahaaleh, but the only signatures on the report were police officers and other local authorities

The judge presiding over the trial was Haji Rezai. After Rezai interrogated Sahaaleh, she confessed to being raped by Ali Darabi, a married 51-year-old ex-revolutionary guard turned taxi driver.

Sahaaleh was raped repeatedly by Darabi over the previous three years. Judge rezai had personal grudges against her and refused to trust her testimony

When Sahaaleh realized that she was losing her case, she removed her hijab, an act seen as a severe contempt of the court, and argued that Darabi should be punished, not her.

She removed her shoes and threw them at the judge. Rezai sentenced Sahaaleh to death. Her lawyer appealed to Iran's Supreme Court in Tehran, where the verdict was upheld due to Sahaaleh's confession and three prior convictions for similar offenses

Her age was falsified to 22 to allow execution, violating Iran's own treaty obligations against executing minors. Before the noose tightened, she pleaded: "If you forgive me, I will never look into the eyes of a man again." She asked the crowd for forgiveness. She was executed at the age of 16 and her body was made to spat on by children

She was the youngest victim of Khamenei moral police apparatus which doesn't follow any law protocol or transparency.

@hyperdiscogirl I'm not trying to limit people. Positive change is very possible. My only point is that some people are just born with superhuman confidence and low neuroticism.

[Saeid Fard @sfard]

Everyone is fawning over Eileen Gu's superhuman mindset. Here's a tough pill to swallow: her mind, like her intellect and physical ability, is not something you can just imitate. You can't just decide to be more tenacious or confident anymore than you can decide to be more smart.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

This is a Mindset MUST-watch.

We can become exactly who we want to become.
We can control our thoughts.
We can control our mind.
We can make that 8-year version of us proud!

Having this perspective at age 22 is just awesome. 🥇

[Saeid Fard @sfard]

@hyperdiscogirl intelligence (as measured by IQ) can also be developed. So can physical ability. But no amount of work can turn someone physically into lebron. And no amount of mental exercise can give the average person the mindset of a kobe, jordan, or eileen

The liberation of Iran will lead to a paradigm shift on a scale unprecedented in this century. Free Iranians will speak about their experiences and diminish the pathetic trend of glorifying non-western oppresive ideologies that has emerged from the western left. Mark my words

Gen Z will never know the joy of laying on your bed and listening to an album from beginning to end undistracted.

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

I have one question for those in Western society who constantly lump Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan into the same “Middle Eastern case study” to draw conclusions about Iran:

How many large-scale rallies have you seen organized by Afghan or Iraqi diaspora communities in support of an uprising or revolution back home?

Can you recall sustained, global demonstrations, hundreds of thousands (over a million in total) filling the streets of major Western cities, demanding regime change in Kabul or Baghdad?

And inside those countries, were there nationwide, months/years-long uprisings led by ordinary citizens explicitly fighting for freedom and democracy in the way you’ve seen in Iran?

These countries do not share the same political history, civic culture, or revolutionary movements. Treating them as interchangeable is dumb and it erases the realities on the ground.

[Saeid Fard @sfard]

I thought this was true, until we launched our own dating app and got the see the male profiles. The bottom 80% of men aren't ugly. They just have no idea how to make themselves attractive to women. I can't tell you how many male profiles are only mirror/car selfies.

[Steve Stewart-Williams @SteveStuWill]

Guys, unless you're really hot, you're probably wasting your time on Tinder

As a classic Medium post explained, "the bottom 80% of men are fighting over the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are fighting over the top 20% of men."
