> EMDR

I’ve been undergoing EMDR treatment for PTSD and it is quite amazing how well it works. You wouldn’t expect that just watching something move back and forth in front of your face (or having an electric pulse alternate between your hands) in between talking about a traumatic experience would do much, but for me it’s been the most effective thing so far after trying many different kinds of therapy and medication.

I think what a lot of people need when it comes to depression/anxiety/trauma is not simply to feel better in short bursts, but rather to reframe and reprocess thoughts, feelings, and memories in such a way that they become easier to “hold” even if they don’t go away. A lot of our treatments focus on elimination rather than acceptance and reprocessing.

I think of it like short-term dieting vs lifestyle changes. The former may provide a quick fix, but the latter will usually be longer lasting, healthier, and easier to sustain after the initial push.
Import tariffs - standard solution to that. The folks yelling "free trade" don't acknowledge that we don't actually have free trade in the first place. All these things need to be kept in balance. It's hard, but that's what governing is supposed to be about.

edit. Actually no. Most of the jobs we're talking about are local. Importing stuff from cheaper places is similar to automation.
That link shows that the US took in twice as many immigrants as the entire EU. Per capita doesn't mean much at this scale- the 5 million the US took the year before don't magically become middle class taxpayers just because a year has passed.
I think there is a sweet spot of age if, I think 4 to 7 days (frozen), otherwise for many sushi eaters it’s too bland. The freshness = quality is something pushed by restauranteurs taking advantage of people’s naïveté regarding sushi and sashimi.

Incidentally, one of the first things which made Japan-US flights viable (back in the ealy '70s [1]) was packing the cargo holds with frozen fish meant for sushi restaurants, from catch to restaurant took about 3 days which made it fit nicely, time wise.

Come on, dude. Accusing people who disagree with you of having been brainwashed is a pretty weak discussion strategy.
Something I wonder about here.

Isn't this idea that corporations should not buy back their stock a consequence of the idea that company shares are for speculation, not to get the company operating capital?

What about a company that sells shares, builds a business, makes a profit, and fulfills their mission? Can't such a company then return some or all its value to its investors by redeeming--buying back--its shares?

That's what happens when a company is sold. VC investors expect it.

Another model of company responsibility is to account for externalities. For example, if a company pays such poor wages that workers need public aid (SNAP/"Food Stamps") to feed their families, that's an unaccounted externality. The company's profit in that case comes at a cost to the government's human services operations.

Similar arguments apply to exhaustion of natural resources, and to pollution.

All that being said, the speculative framework for company valuation is certainly the entrenched model. All big companies are basically financial entities with a side hustle in some kind of product or other.

For what it's worth, Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffet and colleagues) rescued General Electric on the condition that they definancialize and stop treating their products as a side hustle.

But you use her in logic based arguments and then appeal to emotion so.... which is it?

Your gripe shouldn’t be with rich people, it should be with Americans en masse, who yelled and screamed all Sunday night in my apartment building about grown men running into each other on TV with such a passion you’d think they were educating their children. And then they’re poor? Boo hoo.
Maybe if Americans cared about education, showed passion for it like they do about Football, I would understand. You get paid 3x your wife because Americans care about what you produce, and they don't care about what she produces.

It’s easy to soak the rich but take a look around you, people prioritize everything except the one thing that matters: education.
> t's totally OK however to not let into the lane people who're using an empty lane on purpose to pass by others and jump the queue

In Germany, this behavior is explicitly forbidden by the law.

If there is a merge, one car of each lane has to go through the merge each time.

That is, if you are at the end of the lane that gets merged, and you let one car pass, then you have the right to go and merge next. The next car in the other lane must yield, if they don't and there is a crash, it's 100% their fault.

This is so that the lanes that merge get used to their maximum capacity. If the intent were for cars to merge earlier, they would just have made these lanes shorter.
I've always had office hours 9am-7pm, with some on call. I rely on SAH wife to look after children, but family time 8-10pm and weekends. Work on learning and projects some nights. We try to do active stuff together - biking, skiing swimming, but wish I was fitter.
Death, statistics and disaster: The struggle to count dead after Hurricane Maria
I work around 55ish hours a week on average. I have a very short commute (<10 min walk) and I pay for services that reduce the amount of time I spend running errands (I use a cleaning service, I get my groceries delivered, etc.), so I probably have around the same amount or almost as much free time as the average person who works 40 hours a week.

> It's possible to divide MEPs from France and Germany between EU parties in a way that voting along party lines would always give a positive outcome for Germany and France

That's not how it works.

The way it works is the same as in most countries: There are a number of MEPs per constituency and then the people vote to decide which party get those seats (proportionally to number of votes).

This has nothing to do with gerrymandering.

Your suggestion is plainly nonsensical.
> They are going to make with or without approval

Well yeah that's the whole point. If you "make" to show you're not a "maker" you're a "shower". IG is purely built for attention seekers / self centered people and wouldn't exists without them. (it's always a form of narcissism / virtue signalling / showing off

You can be happy they share their stuff on instagram but it doesn't change the underlying reason of why it is shared.

> It’s not all that different in intent from kosher and halal slaughter: minimize pain and suffering, respect the animal, get tastier food while you’re at it.

Except that this is not the intent for kosher and halal, nor do these methods minimize pain and suffering. In both kosher and halal the animal has to fully conscious when its jugulars are cut, the difference lies mainly in whether the name of god is to be proclaimed over every slaughtered animal (halal) or only on the first and last one (kosher), whether slaughter can be performed by any believer (halal) or only by a specific priest (kosher, only Sachets (a type of rabbi) can perform kosher slaughter), whether the whole animal is considered to be edible (halal) or only its forequarters (kosher) and which animals can be consumed (rabbit, wild hens, shellfish, duck and goose can be halal but they can never be kosher). Kosher and halal were and are ways to identify tribes as being part of a religious group - a form of shared ritual - and probably also contain some vestiges of lore (trichine-infected pork can kill, Red Tide-infected shellfish likewise, a rule which makes sure the animal is fully conscious when slaughtered also gives a reasonable guarantee it is not diseased, etc).

Whacking the animal over the head with a mallet or using a more modern equivalent like a bolt pistol (cattle, horses) or electric shock (pigs) before slitting its throat does tend to reduce suffering when done correctly so it can not be said that kosher and halal lead to 'minimize[d] pain and suffering'.

While an impartial outs view may be able to say that living is the less optimal path, the desire to keep living is the basic principal of life as we know it. Culture views these ideations as something that needs to be treated as they are either a sign that some part of you is malfunctioning, or an evolutionary relic that now does more harm to society than good.
Why don't you quit and work on your own passions and projects for free then? This is what I don't understand about most Europeans. All of my friends in Europe all do exactly what your neighbor is doing, almost all of them just live on welfare and it is great. They have so much money from welfare they can come visit the states and hangout regularly and have endless vacation while getting paid.

All of them use this time to work on interesting personal projects and do really cool work that I love being a part of. I love that they have time to do that and keep working on what they are passionate about without worrying about money.

If I were European I don't think I would do what you do unless I was working at my own personal company. And if I was working for myself at a high enough profit level that taxation would effect me, I would not incorporate my business in Europe at all.

This is just my perspective as a American, but I think this is why this system wouldn't work at all in America, people like me who are completely competent and able to work like me would probably try to get out of working.

The Metamorphoses is not a novel. It isn't prose and it isn't narrative. A better candidate is Apuleius' "The Golden Ass".
It's interesting how your view of these trends is exactly the opposite of mine.

To me, tiny homes and "van life" are about raising our standards of living. To me, living in a van with the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, sounds amazing. If you lived in the midwest in your van last week, you could have simply driven away from the polar vortex.

I hate the idea of living in a large house. I don't want to spend my weekends doing chores like sweeping floors or mowing the lawn.

There are practical obstacles to overcome with these alternate living styles, but it works really well for some people.
When hearing about cooking things the one or the other way, I always wonder if the difference in taste is significant. If you'd do a double-blind study, would you see (taste?) a significant difference?
> What the weather is doing

The weather is indeed informative, but if you look at video's where the reporter has a hard time standing against the wind of a hurricane, and people behind him just walk around like normal, you definitely get the "entertainment" value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZdDQY37Sg

> What their elected representatives are doing.

I'm not that familiar with US, but in Belgium, the politicians who do proper work, hardly make it to the news. Most of the time, it's politicians making bold or crazy statements, saying something controversial etc. Reporters are also known to lean towards the political left, so a lot comes through from a certain standpoint and not really objective, like it should be.

I'll leave you with video of a Belgian news photographer that shows how easy it is to let his picture depict anything he wants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmbsXussxUc. In his own words: "It's dangerous, the media"

I don't get my information from news outlets, and there is not much that can convince me otherwise.
They absolutely aren't terrible. I do think some SoCal drivers can be a little over aggressive to the point where it is unsafe, and this tends happens with multiple lane changes to make an exit. No matter where you go, you'll have adrenaline junkies in coupes and on bikes weaving around cars, distracted drivers, rubberneckers, and fender-benders that refuse to move to the shoulder.

US Senate Democrats don't have the power to do this.

They don't have the power to limit buybacks preconditioned on $15/hr wages either. Their lack of power to effectuate a national minimum wage doesn't seem to explain the choice to float this policy.
I see this often: journalists use the word "Nazi" when they should have said "German". "Nazi Germany" refers to the period of time when Germany was ruled by the Nazi party. A Nazi was someone who belonged to the Nazi party. Many germans, including soldiers, did not. I see no evidence that Scharff was a Nazi, so why label him one?
Do you believe that people out of work should be left to die, or people suffering from debilitating diseases, or those in excess to the demands of capital? You do realise that, even if you're an egotistical sociopath who values only your own interests, that a functional society that works - to some extent - for everyone, is probably also best for you. Do you want to live amongst misery? In a degenerating society?
Doing good work and staying in touch with people who know you do good work.

I think ageism is awful, but it really hurts when I read blog posts of people in their 50s and 60s blasting out resumes with no response.

If you're good at what you do and have decades of work under your belt, there should be someone ASKING you to work with them, if not recommending you to their colleagues.
To add some balance to all the full-time people here: I work 20 hours per week. Which usually means 4 hours per day, 5 days a week. But, I can (and do) re-organise those hours depending on what activities I plan... meaning, I can take an extended week-end if I want to, or, have a day off in the middle of the week and work at the week-end instead, for example.
The rest of the time I work on things that I'm excited to learn about and improve in, like working outdoors, or... painting :D.
Those work for goods, but what about services like outsourcing IT and call centers to India?

The very first step in this is destroy the brain that's wat faster than just cutting off the head and letting it slowly die of hypoxia. After the pithing everything is just dealing with autonomic systems to prevent muscles from working and building up lactic acid. After the first step there's nothing there to feel pain.
I'm a strong proponent of hallucinogens, and in general agree with you, but two years ago a close friend of mine did mushrooms, and it generated profound, negative, permanent changes to his mental health. IDK if they caused it, or if it was always lurking there and they triggered it, or what, but this has certainly caused me to think twice on my original position of "they're fine, they're safe, it's all good"

I think I still agree that they're certainly safer than most other drugs
> [..] around 70% of all HTTPS requests Firefox issues get HTTP/2 [...]

Frequent use of Google probably puts this number on the higher end without revealing much information about general adaptation.

Personally, I am waiting for HTTP/5, since the speed for new protocol versions seems to be set on "suddenly very fast".

That said, I think HTTP/2 was a good add-on for the protocol.

On the other hand a lot of over-engineered protocols fail or are a giant pain to use. I think we will only see adaptation if there is a real tangible benefit to upgrade infrastructure.

Quic doesn't really convince me yet. It is certainly advantageous for some cases, but it isn't obvious to me. Yes, non-blocking parallel streaming connections are certainly great... 0-RTT? Hm, I don't think the speed advantages are worth the reduced security if used with a payload. Maybe for Google and similar services, but otherwise? Quic needs to re-implement TCPs error checking and puts these mechanism outside of the kernel space. Let's hope we don't see other shitty proprietary protocols that are "similar" to HTTP.

"And finance professors Jay Ritter and William Schwert have shown that if you had spread a total of only $1,000 across every IPO in January 1960, at its offering price, sold out at the end of that month, then invested anew in each successive month’s crop of IPOs, your portfolio would have been worth more than $533 decillion ($533,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) by year-end 2001."

"Unfortunately, for every IPO like Microsoft that turns out to be a big winner, there are thousands of losers."

"You could have earned that $533 decillion gain only if you never missed a single one of the IPO market’s rare winners—a practical impossibility."

Well said. UK drivers also pathologically avoid the outside/slow lane, exclusively use the middle or fast lane, and police don't fine people who do this. This leads to very miserable motorway driving and unnecessary queues.

The Role of Trust in Teamwork
I've spent a lot of time living in poorer areas and I can tell you from experience, noise ordinances are not effective. It'll take months or years for Cletus to work his way through the court system for noise pollution, and in the meantime, he's not going to be very happy with his neighbors for reporting him. You'd better hope he doesn't do something in retaliation! Oh, and while you're twiddling your thumbs waiting for his eviction, ten more will move in down the street. You know, because you magically made all the houses $40,000.
There's no one answer. There are plenty of work cultures where you would be considered the worst member of the team because you're not putting in the time. The classic example is how at many Asian companies nobody dares to leave the office before their boss does. In the US you find the "always hustling" BS. On the other hand, there are jobs where results are 100% and you don't even need to show up at the office as long as you deliver the most value (this is the type I'd much rather do).
Surely more people are an asset for the local government, not a liability? You'd have 3x the tax revenue, 3x the purchasing power, plus the logistic efficiency that allows for local business to spring up and mass transportation to be viable.
My friend spent 10 years, off and on, building a tiny house. While he learned a great deal about construction, he sold the house before ever using it and in retrospect thought it was a huge waste of time and money. I think people have fantasies that don't match reality. I think he saw himself living a nomadic, environmentally-friendly lifestyle, but you can't have your house within city limits and you end up living far away from the action in a cramped space.

I thought the idea was ridiculous myself and wish I'd talked my friend out of it.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll edit my post.
All of these methods are not equal nor about tastier foods. Both of those are ideological lawfulness. My point is not denigration, Kosher and Halal for the most part stuns animals just like nonreligious slaughtering, however there still are traditional outlets that slit the neck of unstunned conscious animals.

The question of how any biological impulse operates within the economy Debord describes is an obscure and not a straightforward one. I'd say our human (i.e paychological) impulses come to the front. That is to say, the mind as developed in modern capitalist society obscures the biological link if any to signalling attractiveness.

It's a bank account. If I notice the company often needs bursts of work, I'll leave a little early every day so that I have reserve funds to pitch in extra time when needed. If I'm working 40 hour weeks already, there's nothing left in the account.

When you're young and without responsibilities, there is no glaring cost to giving away free labor, but if I do so, it comes directly out of my time with my kids.
