Nothing is nonstick like Teflon … But the VAST majority of cooking doesn’t require that level of nonstick, either.

Unless you have a French omelette addiction, you probably don’t need Teflon.

Arguing from empathy with no regard for facts is hopeless.

Arguing from facts with no regard for empathy is dangerous.

We need both.

Right, it’s just a front door lol. I never considered that was a thing.

Pyramid scheme, not profit scheme.

Pyramid because the shape is a pyramid.

The first person, the one who sent out the original picture, received X books and sent none.

The next layer sent one book, and possibly received up to 36.

But those 36 each need 36 new people. It’s impossible. You’d hit the population of the earth in just a few rounds.

The companies BUILD IN backdoors so that they can steal your data.

But because the backdoor is built in, they have to constantly monitor and update the security around it so that “bad guys” (they don’t think they are the bad guys) don’t get in.

They only do security updates to prevent liability iirc.

The whole thing stinks.

Note: I’m not a software developer just an outraged bystander with tech hobbies and techy friends, it’s possible this isn’t true.

But if you tell the customer how much things cost they won’t buy as much.

It’s just layer upon layer of dishonesty. The only time businesses get honest is when the government forces them to.

And the volume is cranked too high.

And they are intentionally annoying.

And the last time I had a video on without my adblocker, an ad came on that was literally a person acting like they were a content creator. It was over 3 minutes long. I was only half paying attention (I was driving and just listening to the video) and when I realized it was wrong I thought I had bumped the phone and changed videos. It was so disorienting.

All the ads are lies or propaganda. I hate them. I actively avoid products that find a way to force their ads in front of my face.

I have some organic cyanide you might be interested in…

From the dot in the middle I assume it used a camera mounted directly above the plate pointed down to monitor the movement?

Pretty cool.

Yeah I was gonna say…

No, no it doesn’t work.

Costco.

It’s not all companies that are trash. It’s just most.

Costco is (afaik) not unionized, though the company is union friendly (there may be unionized stores?). They are publicly traded. And workers are paid better than a living wage and have a bunch of benefits.

The company chooses to do this despite their shareholder responsibility, and I will never shut up about it.

Once you’re getting a fair shake, if the company establishes trust, you can get rid of the union. And the company can save the money they spend trying to ruin your lives on something else instead. Not all companies are trash.

But most are.

It’s absolutely vital for governments to promote workers’ ability to unionize and provide employees with rights to protect them from corporate greed.

That’s because the manager is incentivized to not help you, while the union is incentivized to help you.

Unions are game-theoretically necessary.

Just wait until the market stabilizes.

These aren’t GPUs in the crypto boom, they don’t produce their own profit. Stop buying from scalpers and the price will crater.

So say we all

I hadn’t heard that but it seems like the right kind of direction to be headed.

One of my favorite comedy bits.

I think you’re missing the point, at least as far as I understand it.

Child predators experienced some kind of trauma, and as a result they never developed. That could be external trauma (abuse) or internal trauma (thoughts, mental illness) but as their body “grew up” and they began developing sexual urges, they never matured.

Think about your first crush. They were your age, probably, unless you had a crush on Jennifer Connelly like every other millennial boy. As you grew up your crushes were probably always within a few years of you. It’s just how it works.

In “minor attracted people” (I hate that term, but it works for criminals AND non-criminals so it’s valid) the attraction just doesn’t get updated.

Humans are REALLY BAD at controlling our impulses. Especially impulses that are taboo. Especially biological impulses (eating, sex, learning, games, etc).

So these people go into fields where they can be around kids. And then an “opportunity” arises and they either can’t fight their criminal impulse or they rationalize their criminal behavior.

And boom. Traumatized kids and teachers in jail.

We need to get more people therapy.

7.25 / 0.25 is indeed 29, therefore a 2800% increase is correct.

Thus, another dishonest way of stating this number is that it has increased almost 33% for each year since it was first implemented. (Not per year)

When it comes to psychology, I think Peterson has a lot of valuable insights.

When it comes to anything else I just wish he would shut his mouth.

That combination of feelings really sums up a lot of Joe’s guests.
