IQ is a pseudoscience because instead of one number, intelligence is a combination of dozens of D&D style mental stats: Gizmos, Deceit, Math, Empathy, Spider Sense, Puzzles, Booklearnin’, Eloquence, Focus, Mischief, Mysteries, etc.

Good news though if you weren't aware, you can now change your default post settings, which I will be doing for a little while. Settings > Moderation > Interaction Settings lets you pick who can reply to your posts by default AND "your followers" is now there!

We don't have to love or approve of a reaction, thought, or impulse to validate that it makes sense on some level-- that whatever we're experiencing is "part" of us trying to communicate a need. We can validate it even if we don't get it, don't love it, &/or want to change it.

#JamesLandale - hardly a firebrand radical - has just raised the possibility that we shouldn't be talking about bridges to the USA, but instead regarding them as an unreliable ally. Should this not be a more prominent part of our national conversation - not just in social media?

I wonder if “woke” is the way that lazy opportunist selfish right wing pricks personify their own almost-silenced inner voice of self examination? Does it mean “conscience”, and they’ve externalised it, made it a villain, othered it? A Jiminy Cricket for the 21st Century narc baby.

My mum would often sit on the sofa just reading. Sometimes, when she finished a book, she'd ask me if i could go upstairs to "the big bookcase" and pick what she should read next. I'd sit there for aaages looking at Dragon Lance covers, then bring one back down. "Oooh good choice!" She'd say.

Glimmer of global hope in a chat with my 7-yr-old neighbour: HER (throwing her arms round me): Love your bangles. ME: Thanks, girl. HER: I love bangles. ME: Me too. Boys should be able to wear them if they want. HER (rolling her eyes): Well, obviously, stupid. ‘To speak is to hope’ (Barthes).

Used to be the promise of the push-button age (one of corporate America's favorite carrots) meant we'd get more leisure time. Now it's just "you can be unskilled and still do a LOT of work for me"

If you regularly get overwhelmed about what to eat, I highly recommend having several easy-to-cook food options on hand. Canned soups or chili, frozen dumplings, frozen fish with rice, a simple pasta dish topped with tinned seafood, or sheet pan pre-chopped veggies and chicken thighs.

Another note on the Toronto crash. I just saw a video taken by someone -during- evacuation. DON'T FUCKING DO THAT. Get out of the plane. Leave your carryon. People have died in past incidents because selfish jackasses blocked them from getting to the exit. That plane is a bomb just waiting to blow

that Horizon Worlds ad going around is precisely the kind of creative work I'd put out for a product if my goal was to convince investors that VR was a bad idea in hopes you could slash it off entirely ahead of previous forward facing commitments that or it's employees rebelling within FB
