Thanks for sharing. Good on you for getting clean and I wish you strength in staying that way.

HERE I AM! UNCLE MOE! THANK YOU MA’AM!

Victimization doesn’t make you stupid. Obviously nothing is wrong with learning lessons through experience but abuse has a way of making the smartest people feel stupid for being vulnerable as part of what we feel as love. You’re able to recognize it for what it was, and that’s more than many people can say.

But my Lord is good, right, and honourable, and if he sees fit to install a cryptominer on your system through an ad exploit, surely he has his reasons!

They’re creators alright, but what are they creating? The answer is a surveillance capitalist dystopia.

“If you don’t pledge fealty to your feudal Lord, you don’t care about the artists for which he is patron.”

I don’t care about creators who demand that I surrender my privacy as the only valid show of support for them.

Why assume I’m being pedantic? The social media landscape is littered with “I fucking love science” clickbait, “amazing nature” accounts that are literally AI generated photos, hell, the entire fields of evolutionary psychology and nutrition ought to be a wholesale indictment of our contemporary scientific establishment.

This isn’t pedantry, I am serious as a heart attack.

I trust a scientist to follow the scientific method.

The scientific method isn’t an epistemological framework, it’s a framework for practicing science.

That doesn’t explain at all how a waiter who is being told to work 32 hours instead of 40, or 10 hour shifts instead of 8, is making more money or is otherwise better off.

If there’s another policy like raising the minimum wage or UBI that’s required to make this work, it should be stated.

The proper scientific answer to that question is not to trust or not trust. You should absolutely do your own testing, whether that means asking good questions of the experts, reading the existing research carefully, up to and including reproducing the experiment yourself where practicable.

If an experiment is impossible to reproduce, then you should be asking yourself what good its results are.

So here’s what I’m talking about, we have a legally mandated 8-hour workday. It’s not implied that you’re changing that to a 10-hour workday.

Also, if you’ve never worked a 10-hour day, maybe you don’t quite understand how much harder than 8 hours it is for most people- because fatigue compounds faster than a linear rate.

So someone who is paid hourly and assumes you’re retaining the 8-hour workday isn’t likely to understand how they’re getting paid for 40 hours while working 32.

And literally everything has to do with lived experience. Listen to people and try to understand their position. Being educated isn’t the same thing as being intelligent and knowing how to understand different perspectives.

It certainly makes you more comprehensible to people who don’t speak English as their native tongue.

You’d be surprised how many PhD-holders do coke/meth.

What do you mean by “trusting in science”? Science isn’t meant to be trusted, it’s meant to be verified.

Given the reproducibility crisis occurring right now, nobody should be “trusting” in science as a matter of course- we should be verifying the decades of unverified research and dismissing the unverifiable research.

We fucked up the entire field of Alzheimer’s research for nearly a quarter century by “trusting in science”. We still bias towards publishing new research in academia over reproducing existing research. Science has a big problem with credibility right now and saying “oh just trust in science” isn’t the solution.

Some people still don’t have unlimited texts, which literally does charge by the letter.
