I’ve never understood the whole thing about “conspiracy theories” being an existential “threat to democracy”. People voting based on their beliefs is the definition of democracy. The argument that people believing things you believe are wrong is a threat to democracy is the actual danger here. Make a better case for what you believe.

To your point they are literally saying freedom of belief is a threat to democracy, I don’t think they actually want democracy.
Not in this case:

Its about cost difference. The primary way to engage a small drone (sUAS) is with a missile costing $60k+ which has limited inventory. To shoot down a drone that costs $400. Its not hard to see how quickly that gets out of hand.
Try talking to the soldiers who have been in hot zones in the last 5 years. Guarantee they will tell you just how hard it is to shoot them down.

...but, small engagements are usually swamped by overhead for any busy consultant.

Also, 10 hours isn't very much time in a discipline that takes decades to master and time spent on google might have been better spent doing it wrong hands on because there is no substitute for hands-on when it comes to learning a craft.

Hands-on is the only way to get intuition about materiality and there's materiality like qualities involved in 3d design on a computer...maybe you are skipping important lessons that come from physical making 3d objects?

Good luck.

"Forcing them to lie about their real feeling at that moment won't help them overcome anything."

First, I am not forcing anyone.
Secondly, there are thoughts and there are feelings.

You can feel deep sorrow, but thinking that this sorrow will last forever is a different thing.

And applying the scientific method suggests, nothing lasts forever.

That insight makes the sorrow nothing less intense. But it helped me, processing it, instead of letting the grief screw up my life, too.

I know a bit about psychology and spiritualism. Mantras and autosuggestion. They can make your life better, or worse. So I simply share my experience of my success with it and my observation of how it worked out for others. And if anyone feels forced to do anything, simply by me sharing my experience, than I don't see anything I can do about that, except feel sorry for them.

Ahem - https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/02/15/the-origins-of-...

This has been widely known for 25 years that it would lead to war. This is also why the Russian border states not threatening to join NATO are not under attack. Only Ukraine.

Look at this map https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/Hi... and ask yourself why wouldn't Russia feel this as an evergrowing encroachment by their enemies. Keeping in mind that NATO = US Military.

There’s a skull in the picture but you have to be at an awkward angle to see it, I thought it was a gimmick; on reflection though if you have to make the effort to see it it is going to make you think about more deeply, rather than just another object on a table.

Talk about Ambassadors these days and people may think of the Ferro Rocher advert.
Wifi 1 is only allowed for corporate issued laptops. We don't even know what the password is.

Wifi 2 for employee personal devices has the password on an internal website and it changes once a month

Wifi 3 changes passwords every 24 hours. It is only for vendors who need internet access to do a demo of their product. When we meet the vendor in a conference room we have to get the password off another web site and then they also get a wifi login screen where they have to list their company name and reason for visit etc.
That seems pretty strange to me. Even if the contributions by themselves are not PD, they're inextricably linked to a PD work in a way that makes them lose meaning when removed from it. And they're still being incorporated into the work by a government employee, which means that the work as a whole must still be PD, even though small parts of it might not be.

I really dislike that Frances Haugen is the face of the "meta fightback"

Not only is Haugen is suspect figure & didn't appear to make any attempt to change stuff whilst at Meta, all of the "revelations" appears to be warmed up public domain stuff. Listening to her testimony its striking that she doesn't really grasp the problem she's so stridently trying to solve.

this is in stark contrast to Sophie Zhang who specifically pointed out failings and tried to rectify them. In short, Ignore Haugen and listen to Zhang, someone who actually was involved with and tried to fix the problems of social media.

This Reuters article[1] says:

> Citing U.S. intelligence, three U.S. officials said the United States estimated that Russia's failure rate varied day-to-day, depended on the type of missile being launched, and could sometimes exceed 50%. Two of them said it reached as high as 60%.

You mismatching 70 years of global efforts to destroy communist state that include giving “freedoms” and “foods” to former v4 to the actual freedom. As soon as, for some reason, Poland wont be on trade route with Russia, have no gas and oil from russia, no slave labor from Ukraine, no EU billions of aids for decades, the magic of capitalism became much weaker. An if your “elites” happen to “disagree” with EU on something more than gays and abortions, you will know what is real capitalism. And you have no jews to blame now, so you will blame Russians.
I searched for todo management for years and I tested tons of apps. But as a developer this is the solution I use that works well for me:

Use YAML as a todo list, you can organise your things like:

Perso:

- Take an appointment at ...

- ...

Client1:

- Do something

- ...

Then put it in todo.yml in your Google Drive (for backup):

/Users/mishaker/Google Drive/My Drive/todo.yml

Then add an alias on your cli:

alias todo="subl /Volumes/GoogleDrive/My\ Drive/todo.yml"

Voilà, that's a simple solution which works for me.
I wish we had a way to infer what led to their specificity.

Furthermore the example you bring up is not even a conspiracy theory. Some doctor believes that a teeth will disolve in soda overnight. They are wrong. Who are the conspiring parties here?

Am I the only one who said ‘hup’ aloud?
That maybe true, but I deeply believe that currently western governments are generally least corrupt that they have ever been historically. In the 1920s the US army was basically a mercenary force for hire by large banks and corporations. In Latin America whenever the Citi bank wanted to extract unpaid debts or the United Fruit wanted to suppress labor rights movements they just had to call the state department. The largely forgotten occupation of Haiti more resembles the Belgian Congo than the 2003 war in Iraq. Let’s not even get in into wtf was happening in Europe or European colonies.

While the road itself might be quite bumpy, the general situation now is much better than it was in the 1980’s, 50’s, 30’s etc. And I don’t see any reasons to believe this trend will change significantly in the future.

> While the initial protests were largely native expressions of discontent with the new Ukrainian government, Russia took advantage of them to launch a coordinated political and military campaign against Ukraine.[33]

Literally from your own link, second paragraph. Conflict wasn't started "when Russian forces helped".
Are you sure it doesn't work the other way around? That is, first the United States government (usually it's them, after all) decides you're getting hit with a war, and then you're portrayed as a bad guy, worse than Hitler, a threat "our democracy" and to all life on the planet — and the people eat it up, put the Ruritanian flag on their profile pictures, and "stand with Ruritania," because we'll fight the bastards to the last Ruritanian. And then we fund the bad guy to fight for us in our next conflict against the real villain.
I can’t tell what this is trying to say
It's a joke, right? Russia is now a de facto dictatorship with the same man in charge since 1999.

However, just because the Mormons are using the same words (from the same book) does not necessarily mean that they have the same theological concepts:

> This brings me to an example which does involve error of a sort sufficient to make successful reference to the true God doubtful. In the post on Geach linked to above, I cited the 2001 decision of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that Mormon baptisms are not valid even though they seem at first glance to make use of the correct Trinitarian formula. The reason for the decision is that the Mormon conception of God is so radically different from the Catholic one that it is doubtful that the words truly invoke the Trinity. It is not Trinitarianism per se that is the issue, though, but rather the radical anthropomorphism of the Mormon conception of God. As an article in L'Osservatore Romano summarized the problem at the time:

[…]

> The Mormon conception of deity, then, makes of God something essentially creaturely and finite, something which lacks the absolute metaphysical ultimacy that is definitive of God in Catholic theology and in classical theism more generally. Even Arianism does not do that, despite its grave Trinitarian errors. To be sure, Arianism makes of the second Person of the Trinity a creature, but it does not confuse divinity as such with something creaturely. On the contrary, because it affirms the full divinity and non-creaturely nature of the Father, it mistakenly supposes that it must deny the full divinity of the Son. It gets the notion of divinity as such right, and merely applies it in a mistaken way. Mormons, by contrast, get divinity as such fundamentally wrong. Hence their usage of “God” is arguably merely verbally similar to that of Catholics, Protestants, Jews, et al. They can plausibly be held not really to be referring to the same thing as the latter, and thus not worshipping the same God as the latter.

There's some 'inside baseball' differences on what people's practical day-to-day beliefs are, and what the actual theological underpinnings are. Most folks will not know about them.

iirc Putin swapped and became a prime minister for a short period in between.

> As he was then constitutionally limited to two consecutive terms as president, Putin served as prime minister again from 2008 to 2012 under Dmitry Medvedev, and returned to the presidency in 2012 in an election marred by allegations of fraud and protests; he was reelected again in 2018. In April 2021, following a referendum, he signed into law constitutional amendments including one that would allow him to run for reelection twice more, potentially extending his presidency to 2036.

The reactions to my mothers death were similar if less extreme. I was struck how few of the stream of visitors helped alleviate pain and how many simply made it worse.

Some of the well wishers would want an explanation for her passing, others wanted assurances that we would be okay, others studiously avoided us, others would unleash a torrent of grief and we’d end up comforting them.

I realized that in most cases these seemingly bizarre reactions were peoples attempts to manage their own emotions. Those looking for an explanation were mostly needing assurance that it could happen to them. Those wanting us to tell them we’d be okay that we’d be okay we’re looking to manage the pain they were feeling due to empathy.

I also realize that my community didn’t really know how to comfort someone in their grief or pain. They simply lacked the ability to emotionally regulate themselves enough to support someone in their grief. These were all good people but somehow most lacked the ability to feel empathy, feel the grief and pain while also being able regulate their own emotions enough to simply stand with the person going through it. It seems that this is a rare skill as valuable as gold.

Maybe it is because death these days is a rare event and our immense privilege means that we don’t learn those skills while we’re are young and when we’re older there is nobody left to model it for us. Maybe our natural wiring for empathy and mirroring others emotions isn’t the panacea that we’ve been told it is and people need to learn other skills, compassion maybe? I simply don’t know.

I think you’re correctly criticizing the weakest aspect of the game: the dungeons.

They are not as inventive or unique as in previous games. They all use the same textures, which is so tiring after a while.

As Nintendo and Monolith Soft (the secret MVPs of that game) develop sequels based on the formula, they’ll close the dungeon gap and give us even better games.

Looking at the trailers for the sequel, I’m pretty convinced this will be the big difference; unique dungeons based on their previous work.
The question itself is totally inherently wrong — you sentence yourself to misery by wrong expectations.

Job (any job) is not there to make you happy!

It’s not your job’s job.

Yes, sometimes some people find deep satisfaction in what they do. But who said it’s because of the job and not because of the people?
I know people from Europe who were miserable here and love it in the US. I know people who have it the other way. I don't have that experience but I think this is very personal and you might have to just try because you'll never know otherwise. You can just move back if you don't like it.
There is quite a difference between expressions of discontent, which happen all the time, to taking up armed resistance.

Yes, but where is Putin limiting presidential power? He had no need to do so because he controlled Medvedev.
Let's say that you live in a democratic country, where over hundreds of years you regularly hold democratic elections. One day, a new presidential candidate says that if he wins, he will turn this country into a totalitarian state - this country will never have another democratic election and a chance to vote him out. 51% vote for him and he wins. Is that fair or a loophole in democracy?

A lot of conspiracy theories these days are anti-West and anti-democracy.
