I love how it feels in there but the biggest issue I have with this space is how it becomes a bit awkward to walk through that area in the evenings when many of the doors are closed for security reasons. As a tourist I've entered the building, thinking I'd be able to cut through, but had to back out

Just look at Reddit. Comment sections will always sometimes be a battleground but if you give people an extra tool it will occupy more of their thought process, and if it's a weapon those thoughts skew aggregate behavior negatively.

All of the research around this has shown that it leads to a more toxic user experience. We briefly looked into it at Tumblr and it was a really easy thing to reject.

In old times satellite internet connections with stolen credentials were chosen by some hackers because you could use it from such a wide region to a particular satellite so it was hard to locate. Interest in this began at least as far back as 1988: phrack.org/issues/21/5

A friend of mine works in sales and encountered a freak who does not directly address the person he is calling to pitch but just speaks orders into a voice prompt "RUN INITIATION SEQUENCE!" (audibly to all) and has the llm speak to the prospective customer, quite jankily and to the confusion of all.

This goes beyond folks just growing older and becoming more conservative, it's happening pretty quickly. The right was super successful in mobilizing around fear and anxiety, and now the left is genuinely a lot more broadly fearful. There are tendencies for fear to manifest in similar behaviors.

The radical right has achieved enough cohesion to achieve some big projects and I think a lot of people across the left (and certainly center left) are internalizing aspects of the right's success as a blueprint for their own projects. Tensions between inclusion vs cohesion are discussed more.

I'm noticing more people emphasizing Marx's belief that the people working in factories were the most revolutionary class because they actually have the ability to collectively shutter a system, not merely because they were marginalized. There's a point but it's dissonant w/ expansive solidarity.

There's a "healthy immigrant effect" though that can make these kinds of comparative studies fraught with comparison issues. It also shows up in studies w/ German-born immigrants to the US where males have a lower cancer mortality.

Some people do better when they eat US food though. Korean-American immigrants have a lower incidence of stomach cancer compared to people living in Korea - they have a very high rate of stomach cancer there though.

It's hard to not feel that the US food is shit when I basically eat the same things when I go back to visit but have prolonged digestive problems, even for weeks-long trips, which rapidly go away when I return and keep eating the same kinds of lean meat and leafy green low-processed meals.

Personally I'm still not really satisfied with the explanations I've seen because after moving to Germany from the US ~10 years ago, I get stomach issues basically any time I go back to the old country and eat more or less the same things. After a parent recently moved over, they experience the same

It's been sitting on my shelf for years, basically as a totem for coping with the extreme bureaucratic hell of my German immigration path. But now that I'm naturalized and taking time off of work to read it's a good time to dissolve the totem into its actual content 😅 I bought it at Wooden Shoe!
